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

Welcome to the forums! There aren't a lot of fics out there that combine elements of both comics and written stories, so it sounds like you've got a really cool project going on. I'm also always here for a good deconstruction. I'll definitely keep an eye out for when you start posting pages (chapters?).

Welcome again, and I hope you enjoy your time on Thousand Roads. Just holler if you have questions or run into problems using the forums!

Intro Thread​

Welcome to Thousand Roads! Or welcome back, if you've been away for a while. Feel free to introduce yourself here, let us know what you've been up to if you're returning, or give someone a welcome.

I'll start things off with a little introduction of my own. I'm Negrek, and I've been writing pokémon fanfic for over fifteen years now. Mostly I write long, rambling darkfic about original characters. Original characters are my jam in both reading and writing, although I've also loved the occasional canon-character work. Currently I'm writing a very long story about an idiot pokémorph and all the trouble they cause with their grandiose plans.

When I'm not writing I'm often programming, which is how I came by the main site that I recently decided to add a forum to. The golden age of pokémon fansites is long gone, which makes me sad, really, and if you're ever in the mood to talk code instead of words, I'm more than down for it. It's hard for me to balance time spent on my web site against all the other things I enjoy, but I hope that having my fanfic activities more closely entwined with it will give me an excuse to update it a bit more often.

What else? I love animals, travel, games, and the color green. Wednesday is my favorite day of the week, and if I were a pokémon, my status screen might look a little something like...

Hi I'm game-boi-sp, and I've only recently gotten into writing pokemon fanfiction. I'm most interested in writing fanfic stories that are more text-based RPG games in nature, with CYOA style but choices that involve the reader/player, properties/stats you can use in game, and items you can pick up throughout the story. I collect pokemon cards - my grail is a PSA10 1st edition Dragonite Holo card that I love. Cubone is my favorite pokemon though with the sad story.
Always fun to connect with some cool pokemon fans, if anyone is interested in learning more about some new ways to supercharge some CYOA content, would love to connect!
