/vpwt/: 'Where did everybody go?' Edition

>post fanfics you like
>share your own fics, ask for advice, post story updates
>discuss writerly struggles with fellow writefriends

Join us in IRC at [ #vpwritethread on irc.rizon.net ] to discuss your fics, hang out and chat, and be frightened by the regulars!

Previous Thread: >>26208767

Check out the catalog for a directory of fics from fellow writefags,
>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PtN4D_9CSw8JJ9uO6v0oQqdtKEkS8aFAvfxqI96XfSE/edit?usp=sharing

>Can I post NSFW fics?
Absolutely! There are no rules against NSFW text links.

>How should I post my fics?
Please, for the convenience of everyone involved, link to a host like Fanfiction.net, Pastebin or Google Docs rather than dumping your fics in text posts. This not only keeps the thread tidy (and keeps you from getting an infraction for spam), but it also provides a more permanent place to store your work.

>Can I add a fic I wrote to the catalog?
Sure! Check the catalog for the submission link. In there, you can find a link to a Google Form - fill out all the necessary information and it will be submitted for review automatically. Technology is incredible!

We're also looking to collect ideas for fanfics as a resource for stumped writers. Feel free to throw an idea out there; someone may choose to use it themselves!

I have no idea what an irc is other than the fact that that's what my high school's libraries were called. I'm assuming it's some group chat. I'm wary of those now since I was a part of a lovely /v/ group chat a few years ago which utterly crashed and burned. I'd rather limit my involvement.

Oh yay, the thread is back. I was hoping /vp/ would slow down enough for it to stabilize again.

ToTT: Unless the games introduce something groundbreaking that makes sweeping changes to the world and the general understanding people have of it, I just think it'll create a new place to write about and probably some loose ends to play around with.

>ToTT
Suddenly many fics will add silly owlballs, since it's obviously, objectively and ominously the best new starter.

As for mechanics and stuff, unless a fundamental changes like something in the type chart or the relative importance of certain Legendaries compared to the new ones, or suddenly lol5moves (for the people who stick to the 4 moves mechanics), it only mostly depends on how people set up their worlds.

I mean, it's kind of "set yourself up to fail" kind of thing. If you don't commit to specifically a G6 world, for example, there's little you need to retcon. Heck, unless you made a tight thing around the type chart and some ancient history, there was little if anything to retcon from G5 to G6 except adding Fairy type and maybe rewriting some fights.

I myself am likely not affected until something changes in the few bits of established lore. Have already ragnarok-proofed my worldbuilding against new types, locations of regions, inevitable new Legendary stronger than mega rayyyy lmao and stuff like that.

Here's a topic for discussion:
What stories/ideas have you, for whatever reason, abandoned partway into development?

I find that I often give up on an idea it feels too generic. A while back I was writing a story about a dude that had to go find a bunch of items to help his sick pokemon, but it ended up feeling more like a WoW fetch quest.

So how do you guys address the weird "Pokemon understand humans but usually not vice versa" thing? I'm currently writing about a trainer who travels from Sinnoh to Unova and has to learn English beforehand. She catches some native mons, but 90% of the time talks to them in her own language. What happens when natives talk to them? Do they magically understand every language? And what about the Japanese Pokemon names? Basically how the fuck do you guys navigate this?
>>
>>26333809
I just don't have Pokemon magically understand humans. It takes training to get a Pokemon to respond to certain commands. They're just very intelligent, and can understand "That guy's screaming and pointing at that thing I did, I guess he doesn't like it. Oh well."

Also, I'm back! Finally done with my first semester of college, so I'll have a bit more free time. Now that I'm easing back into writing, I have a question: I'm trying to write a scene where one character curses out another for the heinous crime of gross public stupidity. What kind of invective would one Pokemon use to another? Currently, all I have is "Shells!" as a generalized curse, kind of like "shit" is for us; it's really just a very, very shortened version of an insult involving the victim's eggshell (given how Pokemon are born and all). Anything else?
>>
>>26333364
N- Yes, actually, yes that is completely correct. I stopped 2/3 of the way into Part 4, I should start up again.

Get out of my head Charles!

>>26333809
Commands are understood by all types; that comes down to an understanding of body language, emotion, the inflection of the Trainer's voice, and understanding a small range of words that grows over time through experience. Regular learning, in other words.

Typing affects the extent to which language is relayed back to Trainers. Psychic-types like Viola are capable of telepathy, or have prodigious intellects, so they can understand language quickly and competently and "regurgitate" them back to trainers to hold conversations of increasing complexity and depth - even if many of the subtleties may take some time to learn. Ghost-types may understand language as well, along with any particularly intelligent Pokemon species.

Humans may not come to understand their Pokemon in the way that the Pokemon might, but they can still learn what various vocalizations mean by applying their understanding of body language and context. Given enough time, they can form an accurate enough picture of what is being told to them by Pokemon vocalizations that don't fall into intelligible language that it appears they're carrying a conversation on with them, but if you dig a bit it becomes clear the conversation is basically just very educated guesses.

I feel like this isn't a good explanation...

>>26335331
Hey, glad you thought so anon!
>>
>>26333809
Pokémon just understanding humans immediately is aniem/game convenience. If you want to be more realistic without having training become too hard for the average Joe, go with Pokémon being hyperadaptive and just learning really fast.
>>
>>26338160
I could see having to actually work at deciphering each other being a good explanation for some of the weirdness of trainers, skill in training, and general Pokemon aptitude that leads to trainers of all ages having varying skill. Some people/pokemon are simply more talented at communicating across the divide (without going full Meowth or N), or have developed their skills in it much better, so they can battle/perform/work/etc. much more easily.
>>
>>26332765
>a program that helps with the saving
smart move
>>
>>26333809
I make it gradual, context-dependent and heavily reliant on familiarity. Sure, once you are an experienced trainer you are going to understand what your Pokémon is relaying pretty well -almost as if it was humanlike speech- but not so much other people's Pokémon, let alone wild ones. And this goes in both directions, with the caveat that thanks to battle commands being very simple phrasing ("Cut!" "Bounce!" "Vine Whip!"), trained Pokémon *appear* to have an easier grasping on communication than humans do, when it is all actually the effect of a notational shortcut.

A key scene I am writing focuses on the context-dependent aspect of cross-species communication: a trainer is looking for the way into a specially protected room, and is eager to go and check when his Pokémon communicates to him she's found an "open door", because that's exactly what solves the problem. It turns out what the Pokémon found was an "open-door", that is, a keycard for opening doors, but they still can't find the actual door. The Pokémon in question is confused for a moment since, from what she understand, she used exactly the words her trainer expected.

As for Japanese or whatever languages, that's an aspect that I prefer to abstract away. In as much as matters everyone (human, at least) is speaking a variant of one of those awesome regular languages like Esperanto or Ido.

>>26333930
>Also, I'm back! Finally done with my first semester of college, so I'll have a bit more free time.
Congratulations! Now waste that hard earned spare time with us~

>What kind of invective would one Pokemon use?
That's tremendously culture-dependent. We use "shit", "bull", "dicks" and that kind of things because they are things we consider gross. Ask yourself, what does your character's culture consider crass / gross / demeaning? Given your use of "shell" I'm tempted to suggest something that hints at one breaking out of their own shell "butt-first".

And... charlimit.
>>
>>26339506
All things considered, I think I'm going to keep the language separation thing because it serves my weeaboo/sinaboo wish fulfillment . I think I'm prepared to write whatever confusion ensues from raising an "American" Pokemon in Japanese in America. That could make for some interesting battles, though. The trainers yell attacks in different languages, so it would really test their skills to be able to recognize and react to something based entirely what the opponent's Pokemon does, instead of what the trainer says.
>>
>>26339506
"Shells" was originally derived from something along the lines of "Curse you, and curse the shell that bore you." Over time, it gradually just shortened to "shells." The plural came in somewhere along the line, possibly involving a captured criminal being cut off at that part of the curse by the executioner (not that any character actually knows this, but ~WORLDBUILDING~). So it's hardly a vulgarity, but still. Swearing on your egg or shell is rather important, especially among Pokémon that aren't raised by their parents, such as most Bug- and Grass-types.
>>
>>26339999
The Taxmaster has been destroyed by this epic lore.

Do they fetishize their eggshells, saving fragments for example as personal tokens for exchange with BFF's?
>>
>>26339999
>, but ~WORLDBUILDING~

You and me, we should get along.

And yeah, under that premise I can see "shells" being a thing. If hardy a vulgarity, I could see it semantically working as a milder version of nowaday's use of "motherfucker" or, if in a more internally comedic context, "your mom".

And it is interesting to see that different species value the circumstances of birth differently. TELL ME MORE. How is swearing on your egg value by species that bear the egg, or other reminders of their circumstances of birth and raising, for a long period if not the majority of their lives? I'm thinking Exeggcute / Togepi lines (literal eggs!), Cubone or Clamperl, or weirder cases like Bulbasaur line and Shelgon.

Upon reaching the whole point of the story, you stepped on the point and it hurt your foot.

Keep writing following what you've already written; clearly this story wants to go in another direction.
>>
>>26324856

since the rival picks a pokemon you're strong against at the start, I guess that the second/third evos could have typings to turn things around

Litten ending up as generic Fire/Fighting, allowing Rowlet to put up a fight later.

Popplio being a generic water/ice sealmom.

and Rowlwet having a x4 weakness to Ice, making it the weakest starter against your rival's by the end of the game.

>>26340296
The eggshells are usually disposed of, though the exact method varies between cultures. In one if the strangest ones, the shells are ground up and cooked into a meal for the new parents to eat, so that they may regain the essence they put into the egg.

>>26340342
Hey, I had to do something to prevent myself from completely forgetting about the story, so I did worldbuilding and thought about the characters. For example, remember Xatu? He's now 75% feral - sane enough to stop himself killing everyone, crazy enough that he moves like a wild animal, will react violently if threatened, and talking to him is like having a severe schizophrenic's thoughts beamed into your brain with a side of knives. Poor guy.

Anyway, swearing on the egg is fairly universal. Exeggute is just 5 or 6 different Pokémon in a hive mind, but each of them hatched from eggs; Cubone's "skull" is just a bony head covering and the Pokedex is bullshit. It's basically the equivalent of "Swear on me mum" with less overt British-ness and more importance.
>>
>>26342415
Also, I realized I could have phrased the question better. I'm looking for analogues to our "Holy shit," the nigh-infinite variants thereof, and the more terse and stressed "SHIT!"

>>26342404

A few threads ago, there was discussion about acceptable reasons for Pokemon to agree to be caught and follow trainers. Two reasons given were cultural curiosity and sexual curiosity (pretty sure traipsingexodus said that, you perverted fuck). I'm really gonna try channelling those two things to make my story have an actual point . I can't shake the feeling that it'll be seen as weird for a human and a Poke to maybe fuck if the latter doesn't have the ability to cheat the language barrier with telepathy bullshit. But instead of worrying that other people will think it's weird, I should focus on how to make it less weird so that I myself can enjoy it.
>>
How do you guys feel about writing sequentially?

I have a habit of coming up with most of the plot, or at least various parts of it, in advance, so I sometimes find myself inspired to write things out of order. I still write chapter-by-chapter so that it can all be pieced together easily, but sometimes transitioning becomes a bit more difficult.
>>
>>26343083
this is usually done by some people.
How much detail they go into differs, but some people do loose connections so that they have more to explore on how A reaches B
>>
What happened to the recap?
>>
>>26343009
On the on hand, I don't think I said that. I think. Don't quote me on it. On the other, there is nothing wrong with being a perverted fuck. Mostly.

More to the point, it is indeed pretty weird, but the language barrier can preclude you from human sexual partners too, which is where emotion and body language and context and all of their little details come into play, as they create a substitute language you and the other can both use. So I'd say a focus on something like that is probably what your prose would focus on, because language is only a barrier until you make it a bridge.
>>
>>26343009
>I can't shake the feeling that it'll be seen as weird…
Of course it will be. It's xenophilia, it's weird. But that's also its appeal; in a world where people of the same creed often can't get a relationship to work, it's inspiring to see two creatures different in form, mentality, communication methods, sleep requirements, and dietary habits to forge a relationship strong enough to withstand the derision cast upon them by both their species.

Cheating the language barrier isn't a means to make a human/pokemon relationship less weird; if the relationship is believable, then it will have found a means to not be obstructed by such concerns, and then it's just abnormal-weird rather than author-making-shit-up-weird.

>>26343083
On the story level, sequential always.
However, my stories are not written or released in timeline order.

>>
>>26347420
Other than like one that I can think of off the top of my head, they really just don't exist. I have to write them myself. Hence why my pastebin is half fetish half melodrama. My next three Pokemon works are all fetishized melodrama. I'm pretty sure my interests were a lot more common before the turn of the century.
>>
>>26347727
What fetishes?
>>
>>26347420
I'm pretty sure I've already read bits and pieces of a few of them (the Gift of the Protector series is immense but what I've read of it was enjoyable) but the ones worth reading are always so long I'd rather be writing with that time.

Unrelated to Pokemon, its been a while since I've sat down to read a good fantasy novel, or a good postmodern novel. I blame the ungodly amounts of reading I had to do in college. Even now, three years later, I'm still burnt out.
>>
>>26347787
The most obvious one is rape. I'm not sure what the other fic can be considered in terms of fetishes. There's also a running theme of "weak, vulnerable girl being subordinate to strong, forceful, possessive guy", which I'm sure is a much more common interest than many want to admit. The three upcoming stories involve beast-human marriage (not so much a sexual fetish as a creative interest), period costumes, and extreme fluff.

I'd convinced myself that eventually someone would come around (or come back) and start writing stuff that was up to my expectation, but it never happened. And now here I am again.
>>
>>26349208
actually that does sound pretty cute, though I wonder how that child will turn out to be, raised by ghosts and whatnot.
>>
>>26350656
Well, Pokemon appear to be, to varying degrees, more sapient that real animals, so they probably wouldn't end up functionally retarded like real feral children. Might have some bizarre communication problems, but considering Pokemon can learn to understand communicate anyway, it might not be a problem.

Or you could just go full Tarzan and make them perfectly capable of communicating with humans, just with some odd behavior quirks.
>>
>>26350656
Depends on the ghosts really. Are they just silly pokemon that like to play pranks, or are they the type of ghosts that will address the kid's need to eat by supplying them with a nutritious diet of raw rattata for every meal.

You know a while back I did start writing a fanfic that was a japanese/spaghetti western ass anime with Pokémon. Think Trigun with Pokémon.

I finally finished the FE fluff fic I did for /vg/. Didn't really get any reception at all and probably won't while still in their catalog, I don't know what I expected from a smut-dominated market. Didn't want to make a thread of these myself because I would have nothing to show. I'll probably start on the lewdo Suicune tomorrow, and I won't accidentally make it into a multi-parter like I did with the fic above. The narration should be a little different, maybe kind of pretentious or stupid, that's part of the plan.

>TOTT
I don't think it will affect much of anything, there's hardly anything adding a new gen does affect lest one of the mechanics was predicted by someone's earlier fic. Really, the only thing that I could imagine would be the introduction of new megas that would be relevant in older pieces. I've written a Serp under the average effects of an Awakening emera, but if an Serp mega were introduced then that would technically date the fic as well as destroy some of the immersion.

Creator of pic related here. I'm back from last thread.

I've managed to finish the second chapter of my fic, both it and the first chapter are currently sitting on my computer unedited.

Should I post the finished chapters to pastebin and provide links or something so people can see and comment on them in their current form?

Grammar-wise, keep an eye on your comma usage. There are some places where a period should be instead of a comma.
Some of your sentences are runons and can be made into their own.

Plotwise, everything seems to make sense. Might need to do a little more to capture the feeling of 'not in the same world I once was' though. Felt like he rolled with it way too easily, especially if he has seen such a thing before.

Where is the moment where something stops being fanfiction and you are writing something else? I have seen many degrees of different interpretations, but how far does it go before it's unrecognizable? That you can no longer give it a franchise's name because you just went against everything.
>>
>>26374141
"Where"? Where you choose to name it something else. Where you say "no, this is no longer Pokémon, it's Anonycraft".

And it's not just us - remember things like Record of Lodoss War are down the line DnD fanworks (in this case, session runs) with the serial numbers filed off. Robotech is technically a very specifically crafted crossover of Macross and other two franchises. And so on.

But it starts with the name. When it's not good enough for you to call it that, because *you* need to acknowledge that you have given it its own identity.
>>
>>26374141
Usually happens when too many rules of an already set verse are broken or a majority of cast from existing series are way out of character, to the point that the only thing they have in common with the franchise are names (people, items, etc).

>>
>>26374354
No, by any means. Or yes, depending on how do you define fanfiction versus IP and how much of an opinion you can impart on something like a game run, for example using a Let's Play for social criticism around the interpretation of one of those modern biohazard / plague AH games (The Division and the like).

Then there's also literary criticism nonfiction but that's another path and scale of things.

>>26377562

Personal jetpacks, obviously. I mean, sure, the anime already has silly stuff like that but JETPACKS! I think they make a lot of sense for trainers who engage more closely in the strategic aspects of combat than merely standing on a cabin at a stadium, for example you need to secure a good vantage point and be able to evade the aftereffects of the moves of your and your opponent's Pokémon (think Whirlwind, Discharge, Earthquake, Surf, ...).

I have one character use a device similar to a low-power rail gun, used to shoot charged, pre-cracked Gems at his own Pokémon when they are out of arms reach so the can shatter the Gems and use their elemental energy.

Might sound edgy(pun intended,) but I had a blade hilt that allowed you to enter a Pokeball, and, depending on the Pokemon, you'd get a unique blade that would form.

There were even Rotation variants, where you could put three Pokeballs and rotate it to change your weapon at-will.
>>
Alright, I need a little help. In my fic, I write all the dialogue as full statements, even that of the Pokemon. This is because the MC grew to understand their Pokemon's toned and body language very well, and can easily communicate with them. I write everything as dialogue instead of narration because the MC can usually translate most of each Pokemon's statement. So if I have one say:

"We aren't how we used to be,"

instead of narrating:

He expressed his dismay over what their friendship had become with a defeated mew.

It's 1.) more engaging for the reader, and 2.) not giving the reader any more information than what the MC has since they can understand most of the sentence. I have tried to express the fact that this dialogue is all translation on the MC's part, but unfortunately, people don't seem to be picking up on it. I think it just looks like my Pokemon talk for no reason without explanation.

Any tips? Here's an example of the type of dialogue I'm referring to:
http://pastebin.com/Lp369y1N

>>26383467
ever try a different approach to an MC who started with a new Pokemon to challenge the way you usually write, maybe a one-off or something to see how that works?

>>
>>26384932
A way I can see that is to have beedrill stick a dildo on to the stinger so it doesn't in death.
>>
>>26383467
People probably aren't picking up on it because it seems to be an excuse to justify your character talking with pokemon that is otherwise irrelevant because it's literally just your character understanding pokemon.

To be honest, as a reader, you'll never convince me that someone could interpret tone and body language into a full and legitimate language. If you've ever seen sign language in use, you'll understand just how complex physical communication is. That's not even accounting for the fact that there are literally hundreds of different species that are not capable of the same tones and body language.

If you're committed to the concept, than you can portray it better by limiting its effectiveness in appropriate ways. Line of sight, light, and ambient noise are all relevant to how well the character should be able to understand Your example doesn't portray any significant loss in communicative ability due to the heavily emphasized darkness of the environment.
>>
>>26385061
Or you could inject the girl with an antivenom beforehand so she doesn't die, but still experiences the intense aphrodisiac effects of Beedrill's venom... just spitballin' here though

Thanks for your help, I'll change some things. Btw I only used that example because it was the only thing I had written, I kinda stopped paying attention to consistency in characterization because of the smut.

Would the beedrill shoot out venom as an equivalent to ejaculation? If not, I;m wondering how would the girl would phyiscally please the bee
>>
>>26385331
>>26385331
Have the stinger double as a dick/sexual organ -- the initial, painful thrust both penetrates the girl and injects her with the venom/aphrodisiac, which gives her minutes to live -- except the twist is, the only antidote is beedrill's semen -- so she has to try her best in her hyperaroused state to try and make beedrill cum.

I check the usual fanfiction sites. Since there's no concise filter system, I just loom over the summaries that may or may not catch my eye. Most don't, and the stories they contain are either horribly formatted to the point of being unreadable or are in a not-fic format. Usuually because the sites contain fics from people with limited to no experience in writing and/or english language organization. There's still that 1% chance you'll find something good though.
You might have a better chance getting something of quality searching 4chan, since (assuming) everyone is 18+ and can make coherent stuff.
There's a catalog in the OP where people submit their works too. Take a look there.

All this talk of animals makes me wonder, how do you guys handle pokemon as pets in your fics? are they commonplace among people who arent trainers? are pokemon too wild and unruly to be trusted? perhaps MASTER I- happened one too many times and the league had to put a stop to it
>>
>>26395848
>perhaps MASTER I- happened
?

Oh, it's probably a sex thing. With them going "Master, I..." and having the Handsome Superman face, right?

Making them too wild and unruly seems like it strays too far from basically every single bit of Pokemon canon. It could work well if done right, few things don't, but it seems to be straying too much from what makes Pokemon interesting. Too me, anyway.

Having the league put a stop to unwholesome relations between man and mon sounds like opening a whole can of worms about how the government functions in Pokemon which is its own separate set of arguments.

I don't depart too much from the established lore in my fics.
Locals have them, and typically the telltale sign of a non-trainer is they don't keep them in Pokeballs. Though it's not unheard of to have a Pokeball for your pet, it usually is sufficient to keep them around in their physical form because they're more of a pet than an actual combat device.
>>
>>26395848
depends how far of the pet thing you're going for, which varies for writers I think.
In my eye, a Pokemon can pretty much look out for itself, but buddy up with people because they either like them, can work with them, or just because.
>>
>>26395848
>>26397629
Quality of life as a pet is probably worlds better than in the wild: unconditional food, shelter, and companionship would probably make it a dream come true scenario.

I have a story on the to-do-list about a servine that recognizes this while misunderstanding how the relationship usually works and simply moves itself into a hapless man's home to reap those benefits.

Holy tits Suicune is LEWD. I forgot how fun it was to incorporate lust into text.

There is still one thing I'm conflicted about for the final product, and that's pretty much solely the gender of the waterdog. I'm not certain what the fuck I want them to be, basically coming down to whether it'd be best to give them a big schlong or making them actually compatible naturally with a male Mienshao. That's not even the end of it, I've always had an idea floating around that I might even turn away from the Suicune even having genitals at all. It's somewhat a lel funny joke, but them not having any explicit sexual pleasures besides their interactions with a partner give a unique edge to the text. They and the text would be much more focused on the dominant and submissive aspects of the encounter, considering they could only gain physical and emotional pleasure from it.

I dunno.

This is the only viable option. Pic related.

>>
>>26405180
Like, part of the thought is that Suicune was reborn due to Ho-oh's influence, but it's not like that new image would need to have any sexual parts. What was created to be wholly unique does not have the need to reproduce, right?
>>
>>26405255
I unironically think that most "gender-unknown" legendaries should either be left completely Barbie Dolled like in the pic, or have some sort of arcane genitals or mating rituals completely incompatible with "normal" Pokemon

because I mean, what else would "genderless" mean?
>>
>>26405267
Isn't it technically "gender unknown"? It could be interpreted as them being able to change equipment as necessary if they're not unique but very rare (that way, they'd definitely be able to reproduce when the time comes).

Tips for down-on-luck Fanficbro? Literally nobody reads anything I put out these days on Fanfiction.net, because it doesn't involve "LE MEME HIGH SCHOOL" or "MAYMAY PAIRINGS + SMUT"

What do? I don't want to abandon the site where I've had great success with Fanfiction years back, but it's getting out of hand.
>>
>>26411078
Can't really do much except post your works on other sites/advertise.
Or you can say fuck the audience and write for yourself or something cliché like that
>>
>>26411078
Advertise yourself and post in various places. I don't know about any places to post besides fanfiction.net and AO3, but there's probably some sort of forums (serebii?). You can advertise yourself here (link your profile and I'll try to take a look later) or reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/fanfiction or https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonfanfiction).

If you read other people's stuff and are desperate for critique, I've found that other authors are usually very willing to read and review your stuff when you do the same for them. I tend to write longish reviews and I've had several authors respond to my reviews with promises that they would critique stuff for me if I ever get around to posting.

Keep writing, views trickle on slowly and surely. I went from an FFN with several stories that were five or six digit hit counts to a new account where just one of my stories is a five digit hit count but I think the quality of my writing has improved dramatically and I'm more interested in what I'm producing.

The main issue I had was I started doing character study and examining shit like communication and the perception of xenophilia by others, all of which doesn't attract huge view counts.

Then again, switching accounts also was maybe a bit overkill. Should have just restructured. Either way, don't despair and keep at it. Good work does not go unappreciated for long. Usually.

So I have this idea for a story which is very much cliche but I want you guys to tell me what you think

It about a trainer whose fav pokemon dies due to unknown circumstances, and is replaced by a zoroark who uses illusion to pass as that pokemon, and tries its darnedest to keep the façade for some reason I havent decided yet. Bonus points for the dead pokemon being any type that has the same weaknesses as dark.

It could go any number of directions, from humor, to drama, to even smut. Whatever I pick I'll be basing the rest of the critical stuff around.

Please dont hurt me

>captcha: select all ships
Maybe thats a sign
>>
>>26418585
Well there's plenty of ways that idea could go, but it's of no use to anyone in that form. Get out there and throw some shit down as text so that it can be concrete as a written idea. Besides that, I don't really think I've seen anything quite like your prompt, but I haven't been looking at all.
>>
>>26418604
Yeah, I too think its too vague like this, but just wanted to see the reaction to the basic concept

I actually just thought of this right now while reading this thread

Its late here so I'll probably sleep and work on this tomorrow
>>
>>26418639
Sounds like a good platform to build a story about grief, acceptance, and maybe being comfortable in your own skin; maybe the Zoroark has been treated poorly in its default state and so it endeavors to stay in any form that isn't its true form in the vain hope that it won't be mistreated.

Cue character arcs for both Trainer and Pokemon. It also remains open to at least two of your options, drama and smut. Maybe both, that's always fun. Nothing says, "fuck something is very wrong here," like hysterical sobbing mid-coitus.
>>
>>26418336
For sure. I haven't had time to work on my current one because of some sudden errands that popped up, but once I finish it I'll gladly take any requests you guys might have. I also got my FFN going so you can contact me on there https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11952351/1/HaremMon-Gotta-Fxxk-em-All

>>
>>26422649
They eat about the same food as ours. Vegetables, fish, meat, pasta, chocolate. Earth animals are farmed in protected pockets, and the trees we see are already pretty much Earth-like and just as well spread, which more or less implies other lifeforms they interact with, such as insects and small animals are as well, so that kind of food is readily available.

Of course, eating berries is still also a possibility.

As for synth food, I have never really given a thought of what would that be like - don't really want to head into "boring little protein capsule".
>>
>>26422649
Generally--but not strictly--vegetarian. One is especially insistent on organics and detox for their Pokemon.

And to give my take on >>26421990 so I can stay on topic: Pokemon of varying "accepted" species are eaten, like Magikarp and Tauros, while the consumption of more exotic types of meat fluctuates in acceptability depending on the region. I'm still grappling with the idea of animals from the real world existing; while it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine giving the diversity of species, it does feel weird.

>Seems like a lot of generals got steamrolled by Gen VII news, this one included. How do you think the new generation will affect current fics or fics set up before its time?

Depends entirely on the scope of the fic and how much Alola's background lore interacts with the other regions.

For stories like mine where most things are completely divorced from mainline canon, there wouldn't be an awful lot of difference.

>>26373738

I'm actually strongly considering it, since I have a few settings that could benefit from an examination like that. That said, it's a little mentally daunting trying to figure out how to balance 30 days of note-writing along with fic-writing.

On that note, new chapter.

Roots and berries. Mostly roots in the current scenario, as berries tend to require sunlight, which this world does not have in abundance. As one of the MCs recalls:

“Deep underground, keep your wits about you,/search for the roots that grow through the loam:/Long and pink for the meat, green and orange for the stew,/Blue to refresh so you can go far from home.” -Traveler's Almanac

Orange is basically potatoes, green has the texture and shape of celery and the combined tastes of parsnips and onions, the pink ones taste like pork and satisfy carnivorous tendencies, and the blue ones taste like someone crammed an entire pie's worth of sugar into a berry the size of your thumb and added motor oil, but are basically an all-natural 10-hour energy drink. There are a few other roots - including some rather long yellow ones that are garlic at ten times the intensity, and one notable one that's red, sweet, looks like something utterly delicious, and is poisonous as all hell (it's a survival strategy, it's easier to grow as a mushroom if you're sprouting in the middle of a load of nutrients in the form of a corpse) - but these are the most common. It keeps the carnivores from losing it, and the herbivores are happy with anything.

Hey, same anon who posted this >>26418585
I was busy most of the day, but here are some more things I thought to add
>The trainer doesnt keep their pokemon in pokeballs, rather letting them be mostly free to run around wherever
>theyd encourage their pokemon to explore the areas they visit on their travels so they can do their own discoveries
>this is because the trainer themselves werent allowed to do anything on their own, being a very pampered child and a political tool for royalty, and, as a result, making them really oblivious of the world which took them a lot of time to remedy
>so they, not wanting the same to happen to their pokemon, encourages them to be as free as possible while still spending time around them
>the trainers first pokemon was a zorua and they got along well but they had a big argument after losing a battle which was actually a set-up and later lost her after an attempt on their life separated the two.
>finally gain independence after a coup dethrones the trainers parents and theyre exiled from their country. The trainer abandons their parents (honestly they were assholes so its for the better) and goes out on their own into the neighboring regions.
>after a while of travelling, the kid grows into a respectable pokemon trainer with a bit more wisdom
>their fav current pokemon (still undecided) then meets and befriends a zoroark who may or may not be the trainer's zorua in one of its regular strolls
>they become the best of friends and meet very often
>then one day, when zoroark and the other pokemon were supposed to meet they were attacked by what seemed to be a covert unit from the trainer's country, who were actually tracking down and trying to eliminate both the trainer and their parents in order to prevent them from allying themselves with another country to take the country back
>its then that the trainers fav pokemon dies

Sounds like a good way to shoehorn a cliche theme into the story. Does anyone else like seeing betrayal take place when it isn't later punished by the author?

What the fuck, how long are lewds supposed to be? I've got 20 pages already on the Suicune and will probably have 10 more of just the sex scene alone before the afterglow section. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I've ever finished even a bare bones smut to its fullest extent before finishing and fucking off, let alone whatever the meaty fuck I'm doing to this poor high-quality excuse of a fap.

Keep going. I believe in you!

I mean finished reading, not finished writing. I can basically write all I damn well please for this setting and throw in way more than what people read nsfw for. I'm insinuating that people who are like me are going to get lost looking for the end amidst all the dank imagery and steady pacing.

>>26440880
That's a lot of pages you have there.

Mimiga what the fuck are you on about? Are you asking how long a lewd should be rhetorically, or how long it should be written to the appease the reader?

>>26440949
Do I have to go back to story construction 101?
What's the point of the story, what needs to happen in order to express that point, and why should the audience care about what's happening.
If you really need I guess I could beta read it or whatever.

>what's the point of the story
Retard incoming
What does this mean? If I have a romance where the goal is the two characters getting together, is that the point? Is it that simple? Please help, I don't want my sappy xenophilic fluff to end up pointless.

It is within my personal experience that most people tend not to care for the fluff in between, only seeking the lewds which were promised as the reader sought to click on the link to the fic. I'm wondering now if most of the flavorful text I'm making might fall on deaf ears. I worry for this now since I'm not quite done with the surprisingly lengthy rough draft, and the final cut will very likely end up including further pieces to be ignored. I'll try not to be this much of a dumb ass in the future.

Yes, people are going to skip right to good parts if my experiences are anything to go off of when I've written smut that is lengthy or in many parts, but a fair number of them also will read your fluff, especially if it's enjoyable fluff.

As long as your fluff is immediately engaging, I think you'll see a decent mix of people skipping forward and people reading through.

Just starting a new fic myself.

Anyway, been reading this and it's good so far. About a guy who plays competitive Pokemon even though Pokemon are real, then is clueless when he tries to actually train real Pokemon. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11019737/1/Soft-Reset

This might get a little complex, so bear with me. The purpose of any fiction is to get an experience or idea across. Whether that be to analyze intercultural relationships, or explore ethics. Without that, the audience is left wondering what the point of experience was.
A surface idea like two people getting together isn't engaging at all for an audience. Why are they getting together? Is it because they feel it is their duty to procreate? Is it because they think they deluded themselves into getting in a relationship on looks, and that unravels as time goes on? Coming to terms with personal issues is a million more times engaging than "Two attractive people get into a relationship".
I reference "Understanding Comics", page 167 as a great guide in understanding the point of art.

Looking for decent AshXDawn fics that aren't just smut. Also ones that actually have Pokemon in them.

I like a good fluffy set up before smut. I don't want to just read about some slut getting nailed by her Bisharp, I want to learn how they interact in daily life, how they met, and generally how good a match they are for each other. Then I want the sex.

I'm getting a little sick of Content Creators catering to pillocks just because they scream the loudest.
You got two kinds of smut; either the smut is a smaller part of a larger picture like in Fight Club, or the smut is front and center, like a porn with a plot. If you want to just write something where someone puts their dick in something, I guess whatever. just don't piss in my breakfast cereal and try to make a story where there isn't
>>
>>26441650
Thanks, this is a big help.
>>
>>26441781
How's a ~10k word one-shot with about 3/5 lewd oriented content hold up in that equation? Would your cereal consist of 2/5 piss?
>>
>>26442462
I dunno, asshole, I'd have to read it, wouldn't I? I would question the end goal with a word count that high.
