    Pokémon Greenhorn Prometheus

    The first sentence seems to make sense at a glance, but only if you could put a comma after "In the massive estate" - that is, if this is mainly a sentence saying "the thunder and lightning were crackling over", and this happens to be happening in the estate. However, "crackling over" isn't...

    Pokémon Pokemon Sword: Reflections of the past(oneshot)

    Hey there and welcome to Thousand Roads! This is a pretty long sentence, and it's a comma splice - "She would be lying if she said her skin wasn't still tingling from that fight" and "It had hardly been easy..." are both complete, sensible sentences on their own, and then using only a comma to...

    I'd be willing to do fanart/review rewards, if applicable.

    Worldbuilding Fails

    I did a lot of general failing in especially the first third of TQftL, but possibly the failiest was that I managed to simultaneously establish that 1) legendaries have incredible power and important roles to play as guardians of the world 2) the Pokémon-trainer relationship is based on the...

    Battling: How does it work in your fanfic?

    Ha, I'm definitely on the gamey end of the spectrum compared to a lot of you, at least in the Quest for the Legends-verse. I like the systematized Pokémon battling that we see in the games, and I just don't really enjoy the idea of moves or types not being an actual thing, or the trainer having...

    Pokémon Heroes After All

    Chapter 1 I'd be kind of curious to learn what led up to the kids assaulting Aaron at the beginning - had he already shown powers, or was he being bullied for something else? I like a lot how Aaron's first thought at the sight of Polly is to be afraid of her too; it really shows how he's been...

    Fansites

    Oh, man, I hadn't seen Neocities before! That's delightful, I hope it properly takes off. Obviously, I run The Cave of Dragonflies. Back in the day I was just incredibly passionate about websites generally, and advising kids on how to make their fansites better, and got a constant stream of...

    What do you like about fanfiction?

    I just like Pokémon, man. I don't actually do a lot of reading fanfic for other fandoms - I'm suuuper picky about characterization and don't really do shipping, so that's pretty much 98% of fanfic out. Often I get into a thing and take sort of a brief look at what the fanfic is like to amuse...

    Your fanfics as r/relationships posts

    Just for fun, inspired by this tweet, sum up your stories in the form of a title (or multiple) in the style of the infamous r/relationships subreddit! The Quest for the Legends: My (11M) parents conspired with the local librarian to keep me from finding out about this legendary Pokémon...

    Fanfic Themes

    The biggest theme in The Quest for the Legends is imperfection. Everything is messy and complicated; the legendary Pokémon that the main character grew up regarding with awe are just individuals with their own issues and flaws and petty obsessions, and there are no grand plans or complicated...

    Exquisite Corpse 2019

    a) All of them! b) I think I should be around most weeks. c) It's too late to be first writer by now, heh.

    [INNOCENTS WIN] Grand Opening Fanfic Mafia - Game Thread

    Dave sighed as, yet again, accusations started to fly in his direction. "Look," he said, "all I can tell you is this is the fucking power that I got. I didn't pick it. Ask the fucking guardians why I'm stuck with this." He folded his arms as a consensus started to form, that even if he wasn't...

    ((I mean, technically there's nothing stopping Negrek from deciding a mafia member both inspects as innocent and has is a roleblocker... but I agree that it's not very likely. I'm not going to be around at the end of the day; going to a concert that starts about an hour before. I too would...

    [INNOCENTS WIN] Grand Opening Fanfic Mafia - Game Thread

    Dave recoiled backwards after Mel released him. "I'm not sure it works that way," he said, glaring at her as he adjusted his collar, for far longer than it could possibly have needed adjustment. "They control fucking everything. You know, last night I tried to deflect off more people. My own...

    ((Dave redirected from himself onto Starr on N0. I'm guessing only the healers didn't get to use an action? Would've been pointless for them anyway.))

    ((Okay, hold the phone. When there are two healers, in my experience it's balanced by a healer clash mechanic - if two people heal the same person, that person dies. If Loki and Lachlan are both telling the truth, then they both targeted Starr the night before last. And that's when Mel said she...

    Dave looked straight towards Mel, his left eye twitching. "Of course this whole fucking place is trying to kill us. This is all some sick fucking game orchestrated for these 'guardians' to jerk off to. Do you have a suggestion for what to do about it? Because I'm all fucking ears."

    [INNOCENTS WIN] Grand Opening Fanfic Mafia - Game Thread

    Dave sighed, scratching his scalp. "Look, this isn't that complicated. Assuming everyone's telling the truth, Mel swapped Starr and me, so anything that targeted Starr ended up on me and vice versa. Lachlan's protection ended up protecting me, Loki's ended up protecting Starr. The mafia either...

    ((For the record, like I already said, the 50% thing is literally stated in my role PM; I’m not guessing as to why it doesn’t always work.)) Dave stared between Hecto and Cabot as they made their cases. He glared at the air above them as their voices ‘guardian deities’, spoke, then sharply up...
