Thousand Roads First Anniversary Celebration The Thousand Roads community opened its doors to the public back on April 24th, 2019! It's been a whole year since then--or maybe it feels like a decade--and we're off to a fantastic start. It's been an amazing experience to watch the community grow...

First Anniversary Scrap Swap Scrap Swap is a collaborative event that challenges you to create a small piece of writing or visual art riffing on a prompt provided by one of your fellow members. It's a simple process: 1. Every two days between April 26 and May 10, I'll post a prompt. 2...

First Anniversary Fanfic Mafia Strange disappearances plague the worlds of Pokémon fanfic. Beloved characters, places, and even stories within the stories, the legends of each individual world, have vanished so completely that few remember they ever were. Some of those who were whisked away...

As I'm sure no one but me is aware, the Thousand Roads community's first anniversary is coming up in two weeks! I have a number of things planned, but I'm wondering what other people might be interested in trying out. Here's some of what I have on the schedule: - We'll be playing another game...

Some of the cooler research I've heard about recently has looked at aphantasia and how different people are in their ability to visualize things, so I thought it would be fun to see how people on the forum experience reading and writing. When you're reading, do you see a full picture of what's...

One-Shot Contest: Myths and Legends The Pokémon world is full of incredible creatures, from common Pokémon capable of calling up thunderstorms to immensely powerful beings able to stop time, level continents, and perhaps even revive the dead. The humans living alongside Pokémon have been...

Our next big event is going to be a one-shot contest! The idea is simple: people write one-shots based on a set theme, and group of judges reviews them and selects their favorites. Only thing: we need a theme, and also a couple of those judge people! The staff have discussed possible themes...

There are a lot of franchises out there that let you "sort" your characters according to their personality traits, from their Homestuck classpect to the color of their lightsaber. Non-fandom sorting systems like the MBTI are also welcome here! Talk about how you would sort characters from your...

It's that time of year again! Maybe next time I should resolve to get this thread up on the first. Do you have any resolutions for 2020? And how was 2019--did you have any big achievements in the past year? I know some people here made big progress with their stories, at least, so feel free to...

Hello and welcome to Salvage, my big fic project of many years! In the aftermath of Mewtwo's escape from the Cinnabar lab, Mew was lost, and another creature was born. Neither human nor pokémon but wielding Mew's powers, it's vowed to find its mother and free her from imprisonment, no matter...

Hello and welcome to the Thousand Roads' second word crawl! We played a smaller crawl during Camp NaNo in July, but for the November event we're going on a full pokémon journey! Also unlike the previous crawl, this one has writing challenges only. If you aren't familiar, a word crawl is a game...

NaNoWriMo's right around the corner! Who's planning to participate, and what are you going to work on? This year I'm going to be working on the same thing I have for the past several years, my main chapterfic, Salvage. I had hoped to finish it for NaNo last year, but then instead of doing that...

Treat or Treat 2019 No tricks here! As October winds down, with the prospect of shorter days, NaNoWriMo, and the holidays looming, let's take some time to relax and have a bit of Halloween fun! Treat or Treat is a casual story feedback event that's quick and low-stress, with the primary goal of...

I recently spilled way too many words about why pokéball shelves are bad, which got me thinking... Have you ever accidentally screwed up your own worldbuilding? Are there elements of the pokémon canon you find it really hard to write around? Or are there problems you've seen in other stories...

Welcome to our anything goes corpse! Armed with only the last two sentences of a previous writer's work, our authors have constructed for you an epic tale contains pretty much anything you could want: poképrom, the scientific method, deadly neurotoxin, suddenly noir interlude, and cats, this...

Feeling a bit nostalgic and a bit wistful, so I thought I'd make a thread on the off-chance anyone here wanted to talk fansites with me. Are there any fansites (pokémon or otherwise) that you enjoy visiting, or did in the past? Have you ever made a site, or wanted to? I've run a fansite of my...

A simple question, but one it's always fun to see the answers to, I think. What keeps you coming back to reading or writing fanfic? For me, it's probably the variety more than anything. This is why I love being in a huge fandom like Pokémon. There's so much stuff out there, and even after being...

How to Submit Your Story to Thousand Roads' Tumblr Thousand Roads' Tumblr account, fyeahpokefic, is always looking for new stories to feature! It also has an associated library, where stories will be permanently displayed and interested readers can use some basic filtering options to find ones...

So @Persephone was mentioning weird anime episode titles recently on the Discord, and I was reminded of @Chibi Pika's old anime titles thread on Serebii. Fun thread, let's bring it back! Rename your fanfic's chapter titles in the style of an over-the-top shonen anime! You can see some examples...
