    Welcome to the forums! Sorry you've been having such trouble with the FFN art scams; they've hit a lot of people in this community, and they're hardly slowing down. Thanks for sharing your work with us, and I hope you enjoy your stay on Thousand Roads!

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    Really enjoy the description of corrupted Xerneas here! Really gets across the creepiness and the sadness of it. And Inke's art is on point, of course, really adds a nice touch! Suddenly DM isn't so cocky, huh? Honestly not sure whether to give him a little pep talk (he'd hate it, but maybe...

    Why does nobody review fics anymore?

    Unfortunately, review culture has declined a lot since the early naughties, possibly in part because the internet as a whole has shifted towards quicker/more immediate forms of interaction (e.g. leaving likes on posts) or simply scrolling through activity feeds. This particular community is also...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    Well... our max-power attack did a little under a third of Xerneas' health, which isn't too shabby! Unfortunate that DM wasn't able to lend a hand with it, though. Also I didn't realize swords dance would fade that fast, oof. With our speed boost up and Xerneas preparing a big attack, maybe we...

    Welcome to the forums! Glad you've decided to give fic another shot. I hope this story goes better for you than the last couple, but even getting something published is already an accomplishment! Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

    Okay, and as of now, prize claim for Review Blitz 2024 is closed! I hope everyone was able to afford something they liked. At this point, everyone should have at least heard from me wrt prizes, whether or not you have actually received your prize. The exception is for prizes I will be...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    Looks like a corrupted Xerneas encounter is imminent :eyes: :eyes: I wonder whether there's any chance the possessed people will recover and be able to aid us in fighting back. Or, well, there's also the possibility that they immediately return to Xerneas' control and attack us en masse again...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    I don't know, I have a hunch that Millie still has a role to play in this fight somehow... but in the meantime, looking for N is a good idea! We're going to need whatever allies we can find for this fight.

    Blitz 2024: Feedback and Reflective

    Lots of great feedback this year! Thanks, everyone. Thanks for the feedback on the heat bonus! I do plan to keep it in the future--comparing the stats from 2023 to 2024, we did have a closer ratio of reviews received to given for most people, so I hope it helped at least a little bit. I think...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    Well... it seems like the master ball isn't quite going to stop Xerneas in her tracks. But we probably have a moment to coordinate/plan here and get a good hit in when she reemerges? I imagine Dark Matter would be happy to do a team strike as soon as the ball fails and Xerneas properly...

    Blitz 2024: Prize Claim Thread

    For the one-chapter review prize, the reviewer will just read the single chapter. So you would get their thoughts on the most recent entry without them having the context of the earlier ones. If that's okay with you, then no problem picking that as your prize request; if you don't think that...

    Active fanfic site recs? (For fandoms outside the Pokemon universe)

    You'll be able to find Harry Potter fic pretty much anywhere that fic can be posted; Royalroad and Spacebattles should both have a healthy amount, albeit not necessarily the kind you're looking for. For the rest, unfortunately, the fandoms are small enough that the only fic outside major...

    Pokémon A Forgotten Past

    That was a user whose account was compromised and used to spam--sorry they ended up in your story thread! A pretty classic start to a trainerfic here, although the amnesia wrinkle almost gives it some PMD vibes. I gotta say, Rowan's a dick for responding to someone going "I have a serious...

    Blitz 2024: Feedback and Reflective

    Okay, thus far a Sunday-Sunday schedule sounds like it has the most support! I will plan to go ahead with that for now, unless I hear that people would prefer something else. Ah, yeah, to clarify, it would be Sunday-Sunday from my perspective (EST), but that would actually mean the event starts...

    Yeah, now that Blitz is over, let's get this done! Uh-oh, we've landed ourselves in one of love's fics. :quag: don't jinx it aaaaaa Ooh, that'd be nasty. And I could see it happening, yeah. What will the crankiest guy in the universe do if given the power of life and death combined? I guess...
