Game-verse Canon Trainer Fic Writers!

[kintsugi]

I guess more than anything I wanted to reach out to make connections with other writers who are inspired by the trainers like I am! I used to be heavily involved in Pokémon RP groups, but it's been a few years, and most of my friends irl aren't into Pokémon like that. But I feel the same, I like seeing other interpretations of canon and the characters, cuz there's so much flexibility for being creative. I'm very interested in your fics that you described (N my beloveddd), and all the ones you listed sound amazing too!! I have much to feast upon >:3 I think I'll prioritize trying to read fics from everyone who replied directly and then dig around this list - which will definitely take quite a while, but it'll be fun!
( And I appreciate the inclusion of Colosseum!! I love all the different spin off games, I just haven't played them all yet hehe - Colosseum and Gale of Darkness are the one's I'm most excited to get to )

for sure! It's so exciting to see all the different directions a character can go in--sometimes the games really give us so little to work off of, and it's fun to see the convergences/divergences there. likewise glad to snag a few more Mt. Silver recs from your profile, though my reading speed is effectively glacial at this point. <3

I also edited the list with a few other inclusions I'd forgotten in the initial post--I'm really pulling a blank on Bede, Grusha, and Hop, but I think I managed to get a few more from your list!

Nothing beats making a whole cake out of even the smallest of crumbs from game canon with our scheming little hands lololol That's definitely the biggest appeal to me. And aw, thank you! I totally understand, don't worry. I'm slow as molasses - both in writing and reading. But if you did read anything from my series, I just hope you'll enjoy it and have a fun time.

Wahh, thank you again! Seriously, it's so sweet of you to take extra care around the characters I said I liked. You're very kind.

I will wholeheartedly second the rec for TLR and Pano's assorted writings, she does such a lovely take on Steven and the Hoenn E4!

By canon not being the focus do you mean that you write OCs more? If so, that's neat :3
Do you have a link for the one with Volkner? That sounds fun to read something where he has a significant role.

Yup. I'm in Sinnoh though, so canon characters are used as seasoning, so to speak.

Here's the one with Volkner. It's loooong, as 339,354 words indicates. :P It lacks a bit of polish (it was before I started heavy editing with checkers, etc) and is sort of a rollercoaster ride, but I still feel it holds up. Like I said, definitely the most prominent canon character in any of my fics, though his role changes in the fic itself over time (still a major character the whole way though).

Hi hi! Kint has already mentioned my fic, Of Sand and Shadows (ty kint!), but yes, I’m obsessed with the Pokémon Colosseum characters and love expanding on their lore (which is sadly very little). No knowledge of the game is required for reading my fic either!

I see you love Silver, Gladion, and Grusha, and I adore them too. I definitely have a type when it comes to characters I like, and it’s the grumpy, angy wet cats that grab my heart. Always a pleasure to see someone else who enjoys canon character content!

I’m also seconding Kint’s recs for Panoramic Vacuum’s works on Steven and Hoenn Elite Four. She does an excellent job bringing those characters to life, and her fics have endeared them to me a thousand times more.

Hi!! Thank you for jumping in <3 It's good to know that I don't need background knowledge to read your story! I love the premise you have for it

And eeeeeee a fellow grumpy, angry wet cat enjoyer - I'm totally the same way Super nice to meet you!

Wowie all the high recommendations for Panoramic Vacuum's works is making me mega curious. The concept of detailing a Champion's journey is so compelling just in its own right, and I have a special spot in my heart for Hoenn nostalgia wise so I bet I'm gonna love it ;v; Thank you for sharing your feelings on it!

Hello there! I'm the resident Hoenn NPC addict. As you've seen, some of the others have recommended my fics to you already (thank you for the kind words, everyone). Everything I have on TR can be found in my signature below, but I haven't ported everything over from my AO3, so if you find yourself looking for more Hoenn, don't worry, I got you. Well met, and apologies for being so shy until now.

Hello! Thanks so much for saying hi - and no need to be sorry whatsoever. It's very nice to meet you! I'm really excited to check out your fics. Emerald was the first Pokémon game I got to own myself (shortly followed by LeafGreen) so Hoenn is like a piece of home. Happy to see all the love you have for the characters 💙
