Hey all! I'm LiquidMadMan, but you can just call me Liquid.

I just found out about this site today actually, and it looks like a great place to discover some fics and get your own noticed! I look forward to poking around here when I can, but for now I'll just leave you with this.

I am a writer myself, and I'll post my own work here soon. I hope to have fun, learn, and help others here.

Hello, I am Nubushi. After many years of reading fanfiction off and on, I started writing and posting fanfiction in early 2019, at the ripe old age of [redacted]. I mostly write G- to T- rated fics shipping unpopular pairings for older Pokemon games (or old PokeSpe manga story arcs) that nobody is reading or writing about anymore, though I do also have, uh, one genfic at the moment, more likely to come in the future. I love reading crack M/F pairings, but also read more general action/adventure/etc., if it is well-written. It might take a little while for me to port my existing fictions over here, so if anyone wants to check them out in the meantime, I can be found as Nubushi on both FFN and AO3.

Favorite pokemon: Gyarados and Togekiss
Favorite Pokemon games: very fond of gens 3-5, but if pressed, I would choose HGSS as my favorites
Favorite non-pokemon games: Terranigma, FFIV-VI, Chrono Trigger/Cross, and Romancing Saga 2-3

Also likes: Cycling, classical music, tea, and thought-provoking books.

Pokemon stats:

Nubushi
Type: Normal.
Quiet nature.
Ability: Bad dreams.
Highly reclusive.
Likes dry tastes.

Hey, welcome! Now you've got me curious--what sorts of old pairings do you write? I guess I'll find out when you post some, but I'm curious! All in all, though, it looks like you have fine taste. Make yourself at home, let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you have a good time here!

Thanks for the welcome! In stories that I currently have published, I have written the following pairings:

HGSS:
Lyra/Lance
Silver/Clair

B2W2:
Rosa/Colress

RSE:
Crack pairing between Flannery and an unnamed NPC

PokeSpe manga:
Yellow/Lance

You'll no doubt notice there are some age differences, so please be assured that while might be a few places in my stories where the younger character is still a teenager and has an unrequited crush, there aren't any actual dating/romantic relationships unless both characters are adults.

Ooh, some very interesting pairings there. Special!Yellow/Special!Lance sounds particularly intriguing. And I don't think I've seen a Rosa/Colress fic before. Very cool!

Hi there! I'm so stoked I found this forum!

I'm Lin, or Sinderella if you so prefer. The name comes from my Twitch handle, and is my gamertag on literally every game I play. It was the name of an NPC in DragonQuest 11 and the rest is history :tongue:

I'm a recent college grad and aspiring TV showrunner and novel writer. I have three TV show pilots and a co-written book series in the works, but I've also rediscovered my love of fanfiction, and have put them all on hold to really delve into it. I used to write heavily in the Death Note and Blue Exorcist fandoms, but stopped for a few years when the fandoms got too toxic for my liking.

However, after replaying Pokemon Sun and Moon and discovering my thirst love for Team Skull Boss Guzma, I jumped right into my self indulgent OC x Canon nature and wrote an angsty one-shot for myself. Said one-shot then expanded, and expanded...and expanded. It is now a longfic that I have begun to actually write chapters for. It contains a whole new antagonistic team *cough* cult, a new cast of original characters, and a set of fakemon Legendaries I based off of the Seven Deadly Sins :whistle: I'm really excited about it, probably more than I am about any of my original stuff at the moment!

I was looking for more places to possibly post it, and came across the name for this forum on Reddit. So here I am! I can't wait to start contributing, and hope to meet some new friends here! Thanks for having me! ^^

Hello, welcome! It's awesome that you're pursuing professional writing as well as having fun with fanfic... and I'm always up for more Guzma content, personally! Fanmade legendaries sound like a good time to me, too. I look forward to seeing your story once you're ready to start posting, and I hope you enjoy your stay here!

Welcome to the forums! It sounds like you've got a fun project in the works. Personally, I love stories about some lesser-seen pokémon, and hitmontop is a really cool choice! Best of luck getting your first chapter ready for posting. Whether you're around a lot or a little bit, I hope you enjoy your time on the forums, and hopefully we'll get to see your story someday soon!

Hey everyone. My name is Spinal.
Got peer pressured, was informed that this might be a site I might want to join. I have two PMD fics. PMD:Hardboiled and PMD: A second lifetime too many. Although bizarrely it's a Digimon Mystery Dungeon fic that has had the most success. I actually recognize a few people on this forum already. This seems like a cool place, and I look forward to seeing what's here.

One of my fics is planning to have horror elements, and some of my fics have mild swearing. I'm looking through the list of fics already here and I think my fics are nothing beyond what has already been posted here, or beyond the guidelines, but I was wondering if there were some bright lines in regards to horror fics.

Hey, welcome! Always great to see a new face, and horror PMD sounds interesting! We've had a couple stories posted here that look at PMD through a horror lens. It's definitely a fun angle to take on the setting, with reality-distorting dungeons being just a fact of life...

Most horror fics are probably fine; the only way you'd be in trouble is if there were a lot of lovingly detailed scenes of, like, internal organs getting ruptured or something. Would the equivalent film be rated R or less in theaters? Then you're fine. If there's any particular scene that you're worried might cross the line, feel free to DM it to a moderator. They can let you know for sure if it's okay to post. (And, if you were worried about it, mild swearing's fine.)

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or have any other questions. Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time at Thousand Roads!

Salutations! The name’s John the Abra, but you can just call me John (or Abra; that works to).

I became a Pokémon fan during Gen IV, and it’s remained my favorite franchise ever since. I’ve played every core game since Platinum, love the anime and manga, have a collection of Pokémon cards (even though I never really learned how to play the TCG), and even do some blogging on PokéAmino. I also like lots of other games and anime—Smash Bros, Dragon Ball, you name it!

As for fanfics, I’ve been writing them for three or four years as of now, but all of them have either not turned out that great or were left unfinished. However, I’m determined to end my losing streak with my current project, “A Toxic Relationship: Recharged,” so I joined this forum to get some feedback/advice on my work from other writers.

I look forward to learning a lot from you guys, and I hope that I can maybe help some of you out, to! It’s wonderful to meet you all!

Hey, welcome! I know I've seen you around the Discord server now and again, but it's nice that you made your way here. Sounds like you've got a real broad appreciation for the franchise, which is awesome! Curious about that PokéAmino blogging... I've poked around on the site a bit, but it was a little overwhelming, heh.

Awesome to hear that you're gearing up for success with your next story! I hope you're able to find the help you're looking for here and that you enjoy your time on the forums.

Hi, I'm AbraPunk! (But you can call me Abra or Kenny!)

I'm a junior in high school (grade 11) and have been writing for quite a while now (since, I think, 5th grade) After posting on reddit and getting recommended this site by someone, I decided to check this place out, and so far it seems amazing!

Since June 2020, I've been working on a pokémon story that is very loosely set in the PMD universe (Treasure Town is offhandedly mentioned once) involving dimension-hopping and good ol' trauma! :) It's called Tail Of Time, and unfortunately it can't be read yet, as I am doing some huge rewrites for it, but I do plan to have the first 'section' (a group of chapters... somewhat like the Acts from Homestuck) out by mid-April!

I hope to discover great stories and people on this site! See ya!

Hi, I'm earls!

Writing has always been a small passion and hobby of mine, but I've only recently gotten really interested in doing something with it. Usually I'm working on stuff with original characters and stories I came up with, but I've always been intrigued by fanfiction and I've recently started getting into Pokémon, so when a friend redirected me here, I just kinda thought "Why not?" Might be a while before I have any real concrete ideas and stories to put here, but I'm still excited to be here! This seems like a good environment for someone who's starting, so I'll stick around and come up with stuff!

My favorite pokemon has always been Beedrill, mainly cause I'm just a big fan of bug types. I like talking about music, writing, and just anything fun or interesting. That's all I have to say for now, so I'll just leave this here haha
