My name is Railgun! Or Jen, if you want to call me by a nickname. I'm actually on the Discord server and it was just recently I started joining more Pokémon communities. I am very shy and introverted, but I am trying to come out of my shell more. So, I decided to make an account on the forum too! I am your ordinary Hispanic cis woman who loves writing. Due to how hectic my life can be, seeking comfort through fanfiction and even regular writing has helped a lot!
I got into the Pokémon franchise by watching the anime as a child. Then, the games about ten years ago. My first game was HeartGold and it has left a mark on me ever since. The Johto region opened up an entirely new world to me and I ended up playing most titles in the series. It has a special place in my heart and is my second favorite Nintendo franchise, behind Fire Emblem.
As for fanfiction, I have been writing as a kid but I didn't join the online world until 2009 on fanfiction.net. I have written for a bunch of other franchises before, but for these past few years, Pokémon has my grip.
Now I'll admit I have an affinity for romance and shipping. For some reason, my odd brain tends to lean toward rare pairings... especially for this franchise. Therefore, I write on that a lot (mostly one-shots), but on occasion... I will write a general fic or two. I love the human characters in the series so I tend to write a lot about the Gym Leaders and Champions. If that tickles your fancy you are more than welcome to check out my work, which I will post here soon. I also have my
Ao3 and
FF.net accounts if you want to read them there!
When it comes to reading, I do have a preference for Gym Leader, Elite Four, and or Champion fics. But, I am open to other fics. Like with OCs or just Pokémon itself. Hell, I'll throw in if you know fanfiction about legendary Pokémon encounters... I'll read those. I'll even narrow down some specific things below.
