[Violetta Moon]

Hi There!

I'm Violet, and I recently started writing a story about three months ago. I'll be adding my story, Echoes of Indigo, over the next few days. I love scathing feedback and am always looking to improve, so don't hesitate to tell me what you think of my writing.

Nice to meet y'all!
-Violet

 

[Negrek]

Welcome to the forums! Glad to see you here. We have a lot of people who enjoy giving in-depth feedback here, so I hope you'll end up getting some helpful comments. Probably your best bet to get some feedback is to have a look at the Blitz promo and review exchange thread and see if there's anyone who's put themselves up for review exchanges that you'd like to do a trade with! (You can also promo yourself, of course!)

Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads!

 

[Apollo31]

Heyo! I'm Apollo. I've been writing Pokémon fics since middle school xD
I'm currently plotting a longfic (84 chapters and counting) set in post game Legends Arceus. I suppose it could be considered a journeyfic since it extends across nearly all regions, including an OC region based on China called Minshan.

I'm a heavy shipper and my current ships are appraisal (Adaman/Volo), Kieran/Florian, and Crispin/Drayton. Always up for rambling about my fic or ships

Outside of writing or outlining or retail hell, I'm either watching TV, cuddling with my cats, or playing some sort of video game.

Welcome aboard. Don't know if anyones flagged you yet but we're in the center of a review event. Feel free to join in, meet other writers, and maybe win prizes.

Or heck if you have some chapters feel free to toss them on the forum and get some feedback. Its basicslly a feeding frenzy for attention right now.

Hey all,

I got introduced to the franchise by Ruby & Sapphire. Have held every main game title since and began to write pokemon stories in 2012. First couple ones were a bit rough and not to my liking, but so far I've got an ongoing Sun & Moon novelization on FFN that's now about 90-ish chapters long and on the home stretch with the Elite 4 battles being written as of now. One down, three to go. Once that's done, I'd like to see about getting a novelization about Scarlet & Violet launched. Figured this would be a good spot to Xpost alongside FFN & AO3.

I work for the airlines and have a fanatical interest in aviation. If anyone's got travel tips, feel free to share them with me because I'll probably end up checking it out.

Looking forward to reading and posting here! Glad you've all made me feel welcome so far!

[SnapDragon]

Hello!

My name is SnapDragon, though you can call me Snap. I've admittedly never used a forum before and I don't really think I have too much time to start frequently now (I mainly stick to Discord), but I've been meaning to join TR for a while now.

I'm pretty much entirely a PMD writer, and I've been working on my fic, Flowerbeds, since 2021. I'll likely start uploading that here tonight.

As for me, I'm currently working as a librarian assistant on my way towards a full time position, and will likely keep working on that for several years alongside my fic writing.

It's great to be here! Thanks for having me!

Glad to see you over here! I've caught you around Discord, of course--your fic sounds like a load of fun. Hope we'll get to see it once you're able to start in on drafting! Until then, feel free to ask for any help or advice you might need to keep the writing process rolling. Welcome to the forums, and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome! I'm definitely down for a good game novelization, and Scarlet/Violet have some great material to work with. I'll be happy to check that out once you've started it. In the meantime, good luck getting through the E4 battles; writing a bunch of big fights in a row can be exhausting for sure. I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads! One of our moderators, Keleri, also works with airplanes, so perhaps you'll get to geek out about aviation a bit while you're here.

Another librarian, eh? Can't imagine why we'd have so many of those knocking around a fanfic site!

Good to have you, in any case. I'll have to see if I can squeeze your fic in before Review Blitz ends! Welcome to Thousand Roads, and I hope you enjoy your time here.

 

[Turkeyuwu]

Hey there, I'm Turkey!

Made my account a little while ago but didn't know I was supposed to introduce myself. Sorry about that!

Anyways! I've been writing my PMD fic Royal Replacement for a little under a year now, and a couple people over on Discord recommended me to port my fic here. Outside of here you can also find my fic on Ao3 and FFN. I still don't know much about how forums work, since I tend to stick to traditional social medias and Discord most of the time, though I have been slowly warming up to the forum environment.

I am currently a college student majoring in Computer Science Games, so progress for my fic can be slow due to the college workload at times. T-T

Outside of writing and college I am an avid rhythm game enjoyer (o!m Reform Alpha/Yoake LN, Chunithm 15.88, Phigros 15.51), so aside from killing my hands writing I also love destroying my hands over those games as well.

Thanks for having me! It's been great so far!

 

[Shadow]

Yo! Name's Shadow. Played all the mystery dungeon games, and even some mainline ones. I like reading fanfiction and just generally hanging out! Glad to be here!

No need to write an introduction if you don't want to! It's completely optional, but it's always nice to learn a little more about people. Nice work keeping your fic going for a year, especially with college going on! Hope you continue to have fun with it and all your programming assignments don't hit you too hard.

Welcome! Glad to have you here. There's plenty to read, but if you ever need recommendations for what to check out, just holler!

 

[Shadow]

Might need some if you have any.

 

[Negrek]

What sort of stories do you like? It sounds like you might prefer PMD--is that true, or do you like trainerfic as well? Do you have preferences in terms of tone or genre (humor, romance, action, etc.)?

 

[JacobChu]

Hi, there. I'm JacobChu! I've been writing fanfiction on and off since 2012, and have been writing Pokémon fan fiction for a while now.
I have a few Pokémon gijinka OC's that I've been plotting a series of stories for tentatively called "Universe JC", it is an AU loosely based off the anime, but you might just see some of the characters from the games and/or manga appear.
Outside of here, you can find me on DeviantArt and FFN mainly. (I use Discord as well)
Outside of writing and the Pokémon fandom, I like trains, history, baseball, and might start learning how to play the guitar here soon. I can also do cartoonish voices/impressions/different accents, and I've been told that I make a good stand-up comedian.
Oh yeah, I'm into retro gaming as well. (N64, GameCube, SEGA Genesis, Dreamcast)

Hope to share some of my writings here!

 

[Negrek]

Welcome to the forums! Sounds like you've got some fun ideas, there--it's always cool to see people bring together characters from different arms of the franchise. And gijinkas, too? Sounds like a good time!

Sounds like you've got a lot of fun stuff going on outside fanfic, too; I will admit that I enjoy a good train myself! I hope to see you share some of your writing, too, and that you have a good time here on Thousand Roads!

 

[JacobChu]

Thanks! I still have a little developing of my lore to do, but will post my writing when I have the motivation to do it.

 

[Inyssa]

Hi!! I joined the Discord server the other day, and figured I'd give the forum a looksie too.

I've been writing Pokemon fics for around 8 years now, I'm a big fan of Sinnoh and Hoenn and worldbuilding. My first fic was Child of Thorns, which took me five years to finish and is almost a million words long, lol, so unfortunately the quality at the start is very different from the quality at the end, but what can you do. I also wrote Wysteria Files, set in the same universe, and I'm planning to write another long fic in that same verse at some point in the future. Right now I'm focusing on a story about Johto and Unown called 'So We can Sing our Songs'.

Anyway, nice to be here. I'm gonna give some things a read while I'm around.

 

[Negrek]

Welcome to the forums! Jeff's mentioned The Child of Thorns a few times, so it's really cool to see you popping in here. Feel to talk more about your work in the Introduce Your Fic thread if you'd like!

Glad to have you, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads. There's certainly plenty of options for stories to read around here; if you let me know what you're interested in, I'm happy to give recs!

 

[Inyssa]

Oh nice! Yeah, I'll introduce my fics there then. And as for recommendations, I usually like fics that are more realistic and down-to-earth, with how it'd be for real people to live in a world with Pokemon.

 

[Negrek]

Sure thing! A couple options depending on the kind of tone you're looking for.

If you're interested in something more cozy, "living life alongside pokémon" sort of story, you might enjoy Dragonspiral's Children. There's a bit of high-flying pokéworld stuff in there with a brief appearance by Team Plasma, but it's mostly a "growing up with a dragon as part of the family" kind of tale.

If on the other hand you're interested in "realistic" in the sense of "how would training operate if the pokémon world was a capitalist hellscape like our own (also camping sucks)," you might enjoy the journeyfic Broken Things!

 

[NeroIntruder]

heya, I'm Nero. I joined the server a couple days ago and figured I'd try posting on the forums as well

I'm both an artist and an aspiring writer, I have a variety of interests but most relevant at this moment are my affinity for monster media and anything with cool creatures (kaiju movies, Digimon, and of course Pokemon). I sort of became a Pokemon fan when I first laid sights on the anime circa 2005, but I only really became engaged with the series when I saw Blue Rescue Team on store shelves a year or so later and fell in love with it. to this day, PMD is still what truly keeps me anchored to this franchise, especially after gen 8 soured me on the main series (though my opinion on it has somewhat improved after SV)

so of course, most of my Pokemon stuff has been PMD related. I made a PMD sprite comic when I was a kid that ran from 2011 to 2018 or so that I ended up discontinuing due to the foundation set by younger me not being fun to work with anymore. I wasn't planning to come back to PMD stories, but after having a conversation with my close friend circle about PMD comics, I got the motivation to start anew and spent like half a year plotting and designing characters for my current story, PMD: Nightfall, a webcomic/fanfiction hybrid which aims to be both a deconstruction of PMD stories while also serving as "what if PMD continued in gen 7?"

I figured I'd try my hand at interacting with the community more, since I haven't really done that for all these years besides a few discord servers related to Skytemple. kind of awkward since I haven't used a forum in like 10 years, but I'll manage
