    Exquisite Corpse 2025

    Exquisite Corpse 2025 It's that time once again--Exquisite Corpse time! An Exquisite Corpse is a frankenfic created by a group of authors working together... without getting the full story of what's going on! Anything can happen as the story passes from one writer to the next, changing...

    Welcome to the forums! It's too bad you joined right after Art Fight; we have a few people who participate each year. But maybe next July! If you do decide to get into fic writing, let us know! We're happy to help you along. Writing your own stories for RP campaigns is already quite impressive...

    Ooh, very nice. Volo's color palette really lends itself well to an angelic interpretation, and I like how you complemented it with the blue!

    Exquisite Corpse Theme Poll 2025

    All right, the poll has closed--we have this year's top themes! However, I'm still looking for a couple more people to help run corpses this year, which will determine how many of these we're actually able to do. Please let me know if you're interested, or if you have any questions about what it...

    Any art in general! Doesn't need to be fic or Pokémon-related.

    Love this! The colore palette creates such great atmosphere, and the way the smoke from the cigarette merges with the clouds in the sky is really cool.

    Awesome! I love to see people illustrating their stories. :quag: I think making the vegetation in the background a solid ochre does a lovely job of framing the characters and putting the focus on them! You did a really nice job on zorua's wisps, too. Thank you! I'm glad you like it. The...

    Hello, everyone! A brief update on judging about a month in. One of our judges is done and has submitted their final reviews and rankings. The others are at various stages of completion, but most are done reading through all the entries and are somewhere in the process of writing up their...

    Exquisite Corpse Theme Poll 2025

    Exquisite Corpse Theme Poll 2025 It's time once again for our yearly round of Exquisite Corpse. But before we can get the writing kicked off, we need to know what we'll be writing about--and who's available to help guide that writing along! If you've never participated in an Exquisite Corpse...

    Pokémon Exquisite Corpse 2024: Grimdark Pokémon Snap

    This year's round of Exquisite Corpse featured an especially cursed theme: that of grimdark Pokémon Snap! What sort of depraved authors would take this colorful, upbeat game and twist it into something bleak and littered with corpses? Those under the spoiler, of course! This corpse was a huge...

    Pokémon Fledglings

    Hey, Fobbie! I’m here for your Blitz review prize, and since three chapters would have ended sort of awkwardly on 39, I ended up adding one more and doing 37-40. This section wraps up the Mengir arc and moves on to some undersea adventures for Team Traveler. I enjoyed the way things shook out...

    [Event Proposal] Choose Your Own Exquisite Corpse

    It is indeed that season... This sounds like a fun idea! I definitely agree that we'd likely see no more than three levels of writing for any one story path, given that that already requires 15 writers. It might be kind of fun to double up, as you suggested, and have each person write a...

    Pokémon Dabbling in Drabbles

    Hey, Shini! Late Catnip review for you here. I'll be looking at "Isolation" and "A Confession" as requested. Beginning with "Isolation," and you certainly have my attention! Emotionally distressed time loop, possibly with some sort of meta-game elements? I'm here for that every single time...

    Hey, nico! Good to see you forum-side. I hope you enjoy Scorched Atlas; I'm a big fan of weird fiction myself! No pressure to share your writing if you're not feeling ready. Feel free to ask for anything you need while you're working on it, or just enjoy hanging out and reading stories or...

    Would You Rather? (Fanfic edition)

    It's super tricky... Truly, for me it depends on the specific tropes and how bad/in what way the writing is, heh. Like, there are some tropes I don't like but am willing to look past if I otherwise enjoy the characters, plot, etc. But there are some tropes I absolutely hate that I will...

    Weird and Wonderful One-Shot Contest

    Those are berries! In any case, the contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry this year! I'm traveling now, but I'll be back shortly with more information about judging.
