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 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...

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...

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...

Two years ago Hilda fought N for control of Unova—and lost. Now she has the chance to stop his most audacious plan yet. Team Plasma's rule ends today, one way or another. Rating: T (pokémon battle violence, one curse word) Author's Notes: I wrote this story a few years back, but posted it in a...

Just a fun thing I was thinking about recently. If you were sucked into the pokémon world a la the PMD games, what kind of pokémon do you think you might turn into? Personally I'd hope for something that flies, or at least could hover really high or something. What might be most appropriate...

Are there any particular themes you enjoy in fiction, whether reading about them or writing about them? There are a few that I come back to again and again... How humans relate to other intelligences. In the case of the Pokemon franchise, that would be the Pokemon! In our world, humans kind of...

Uncle Nanu's Ultra Beastly Word Crawl This is just my life, isn't it? Thanks, Tapu Bulu. Alola, the crossroads of dimensions, a haven for fallers both human and monstrous. After the onslaught unleashed by Necrozma, everyone had hoped for a bit of peace. Relatively speaking, an invasion of...

Exquisite Corpse 2019 This summer we'll be getting our surrealist on with Thousand Roads' first exquisite corpse run! If you haven't tried your hand at making an exquisite corpse before, it's a classic writing game where multiple participants come together to write a story... with each only...

Thousand Roads Updates - May 2019 It's been about a month since the board opened to the public, and we're off to an excellent start! With nearly 50 stories and over 500 posts made, it was a busy opening month, and I'm glad to have all of you here. I'm excited to be able to make a first update...

It's that time of year again! We have the starters and box legendaries spoiled now and are starting to get some gameplay spoilers, so... what are people's impressions of the games thus far? I've been pretty excited about the stuff revealed so far. Like the designs, happy about the...

It's Pokémon's first live-action film! How are you feeling about it? Do you want to see it? And if you've already seen it (you people are so FAST, how), what did you think? I haven't been to seen the movie yet and probably won't for a couple of weeks, but all of the positive hype definitely has...
