I am pretty neutral on number of named characters. I do think that stories with large ensemble casts are relatively more difficult to do well, because it's often hard for authors to make a very large number of characters interesting, distinct, and memorable. Since a lot of PMD fics follow the...

Our second to last power-up opportunity, hmm. Once again I think I'm on the side of taking HP/def rather than Energy/atk here, simply because it seems like we want SOME durability? The boost has been getting larger each time we have the opportunity to boost stats, so I'm thinking we could take...

All right, it's time for another judge check-in! At this point, most judges have between three and six of their reviews done, so we're about where we want to be. I'm expecting the first couple sets of complete reviews to arrive in the next week or so, and I'm expecting to send out the optional...

Happy birthday! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Ooh, love the idea of the player character being an amalgamation of souls! Really fun way to tie in the players giving commands with what's going on in the story. Now, a collection of souls I might originally take to be a Voice of Life, but if it's specifically dead souls we have all gathered...

lol. Well. If we aren't Yveltal, we're someone who used to think pretty highly of our power, apparently! TRUTH, lol. I don't know that he's actually lying in terms of saying untrue things, but I strongly suspect that he's doing the whole lie-by-omission routine. It's a good question for sure...

Welcome to the forums! Glad to hear you're thinking of getting back into fic. What did you write in the past? Feel free to toss around ideas you might be interested in working on or ask for help if you get stuck along the way! Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

All right, it looks as though we'll be running corpses on the themes of Isekai, Grimdark, Pokémon Snap, and Grimdark Pokémon Snap this year! I'll be coordinating with the corpse-runners to get the logistics worked out, and first writers should expect to get the go-ahead in the next few days...

It's great to see so many sign-ups already! :quag: For those of you who indicated you'd like to illustrate a story, I'll be contacting you shortly to get more information about the kind of story you'd like to make art for so I can get you paired up with a fic. Please submit new work for the zine!

Wonderful! Thank you both.

Sorry I've been late recently; will try to get back on track with my responses! Very intrigued to find N here with the E4. With him skulking around in a tree last chapter, I kind of assumed he was off doing his own thing and not necessarily an ally of the League. Yeah, the distortions don't...

Hello, everyone! I'm happy to announce that zine sign-ups are now open! Feel free to ask any questions you might have or discuss the zine in general in this thread, too. Note that if you wrote an entry for the contest that you would like to have included in the zine, you don't need to do...

Thanks for running this, Tetra! I had a lot of fun with this, and from everything I've seen, other people did, too! On the whole I think this was a very successful RP. To answer your questions... I think the pacing was good. With 2-3 weeks to work with, I don't think you could add many more...

Mightyena stretched up to lick the side of Keldeo's face. "You weren't yourself," she said. "Someone tricked you, just like they must have tricked your friends. They're the ones who caused this, not you." Mightyena hesitated. "Well..." "We ain't dead yet," Nate said. "And we ain't had to deal...

Welcome to the forums! This is a really interesting story. These days it's not super common to see a fic focused on wild pokémon living on their own, without humans being involved, but it's always been a favorite genre of mine. The snorunt line is also a lovely one to focus on; it doesn't get...

Mightyena growled as something poisonous sloughed away from Keldeo, her ears pinned back. The corruption seemed localized, dissipating into thin air, but she instinctively backed up, stepping high to touch the water as little as possible. She didn't like the thought of that same poison spreading...

Unfortunately I think we can only accommodate two corpses per person this year. Are there two of the options that you like better than the others, or should I place you wherever there's room?

That'd be great! Thanks a lot, Umbra.

Keldeo had been faking, certainly. Mightyena watched, mournful. It seemed most of the fight had gone out of Keldeo, but it was hard to watch him struggling with himself like this. Where before he'd seemed so firm in his convictions--mostly. Sometimes there'd been a bit of hesitance, almost the...

Mightyena wagged gratefully back at Drapion, glad that someone else had thought to take a closer look at the horn. She'd considered retrieving it herself, but hadn't really fancied getting its toxic discharge all over her mouth. Hopefully the kind of poison in it could give them some clue about...
