She is mostly oblivious doggo, doesn't really comprehend the degree of adorbs she looks like unless in the process of wearing cute dresses.

Dresses and other clothes that cover lots of body are signs of luxury usually worn by middle-high class civilized pokemon. The Society are basically all nobles because of reputation and accumulated wealth. They're like a bunch of nerdy-ass scholars that actually accomplished something not-scholars want, and there's plenty other stuff around that they dipped their fingers into. None of that mattered, I just wanted to justify cute dresses.

Salamence (grounded):

Ability: Battle Armor/Moxie (HA)
Gains several Steel moves.
>>
>>30887057
overdesigned, follow >>30888181 's advice.

Going past the "Pokédex entries are bs" factor, evolving into a wingless Salamence practically gives up half of the advantages of Salamence's physiologics and design w/r/t potential prey and competitor species. A Salamence can only turn around fast enough while flying and is armored against anything and all that flies below it, not that flies -or walks- level to it. Plus, on the ground, that spine and tail configuration is tremendously exploitable unless you go the way eg.: Kommo-o goes.

Character-wise, a Shellgon that gave away its dream of flying yet somehow evolved into a wingless Salamence is going to face the issues of a quitter with quite a though road ahead, in particular if being self-conscious enough to realize they not only don't like their own body but they are not in comfort in their own natural role.

And they'll have to figure out a way to literally watch their backs. Suggests an interesting psychology at work there.

This is gonna be a weird request, but it's a sort of niche that I'd like to see in a Pokemon fanfic. Human ends up in a world of Pokemon. Not talking Mystery Dungeon, not talking about canon Pokemon world, I mean a normal human ending up in a world where Pokemon rule (feral or anthro, but preferably anthro).

Sort of a Planet of the Apes/Human in Equestria sort of thing
>>
>>30890298
I actually had an idea for this as a one-off back when people were hyping up an idea revolving around a guy with arceus plate-embedded bones in his body (elemental plates?) months ago.

Based on the Pokestar movie, the MC was found frozen by captured humans. Of course being aware after frozen probably wold lead to some bizarre fights and escapes from people and Pokemon alike until he saw a familiar face, who too recognized him from the past...

Unless you are referring to 100% normal earth human (not Pokemon's sturdy humans), I could see if I can develop it further beyond idea

>>30890298

there are stories about humans fighting for survival in a world utterly dominated by pokemon, but the idea of a human being randomly dropped into one from another world is oddly specific (perhaps a little too much so). personally I don't think the story would benefit from this specific quirk, why not feature someone who was born in this crapsack world
>>
>>30890653

Earth human or Pokeman world human, either way works for me, just do whatever works best for you, if you want to try your hand at this.

Please do give me all the feedback possible, I take all into consideration, it all helps ^.^
>>
>>30881238
Someone should make a story about a cheerful and innocent Stennee that wants to evolve, so her trainer helps her practice stomp.
But what they don't know is that stomp only causes Stennee to evolve indirectly, she actually evolves because the move awakens a specific type of feeling in her...

This is probably the first lewd written of bayleef here, ever. Strange, considering the famous one in the anime.
Compared to the other transitions to lewd you have done, this one has the most cheesiness to it.
Honestly for the last very intimate act a stronger reaction to the forbidden entrance could do, whether it be a yelp, a loud gasp, or a sudden jump in surprise.
Otherwise it felt relatively straightforward. I say it's better than the absol one, but not as good as the scolipede one.
>>
>>30892999
It's cool
make it up to me with feedback ;-;
>>
>>30890758
Read the second link. Quite enjoyed it, I would recommend restructuring this sentence however, as it is somewhat repetitive:
>I normally stay up until three or four, but I'll need the energy to keep up with this little ball of energy.
No real need to say energy twice - use something else for energy the first or second time, whichever you prefer (perhaps use a simile or something to describe Acerola and her pep.)

Additionally, this statement:
> What do I care.
I do care, to be honest. I'm not completely heartless, and mostly kids live in that house.
Comes off as slightly awkward. It is understood to be rhetorical, but the abruptness in shifting from the question to the answer draws away from the impact the question is intended to have. It needs a pause of some kind - you could restructure the entire sentence following "What do I care" to end with "Okay, I guess I care alot," which, in my mind, would better aid the flow of the question into paragraph and answer.

Otherwise, as I said before, I quite like it. Nanu's a neat dude and a fun trope to watch, and seeing work with him in it usually means you're in for some warmhearted world weariness.

Oh fuck I hadn't even noticed that, thanks for pointing out. I guess proofreading twice isn't some sort of nerd joke after all.

>I do care, to be honest. I'm not completely heartless, and mostly kids live in that house
I suppose that is a sudden shift, but I thought this little bit through over half an entire minute, and I actually think it's pretty okay.

Speaking of Goombario, I just checked their Tumblr and got a 404.

not him, but this was a pretty nice read, For some odd reason I expected a bit more drama to take place, whether it be the MC confronting Guzma at some point to get the grunt back or her struggling to decide between the MC or her loyalty to Guzma, but this works fine too.

There is any willing writebro to create SFW fanfic about relaxing cuddling with lilligant with kisses?

Didn't get any work done last night on my story because my eyes were hurting for some reason. Decided to just listen to Sonic's Ultimate Harem and then go to bed (Just a note, the term Cookie being used for a vagina is one of the bet things ever, and if I ever write smut, I need to use it)

I'm going to try and get more done tonight as a result, but I also may have Christmas decorating to do. I'm also going to try and talk here regularly in an attempt to tether myself more to writing.

One relatively minor idea I had, though, when Steven and Zinnia go to Unova, is that Steven gets an Excadrill from Clay. Or form a mining mission with Clay. Or something like that. Because Steven apparently uses an Excadrill in PWT.

How long do you guys tend to keep your stories in "proofreading and refinement purgatory" before posting them?

>ToTT
Only story I've done that for so far has been If I Were Just a Little Braver. Probably gonna do some more reading over break, though.
>>
I've invented a type of ending I feel is the opposite of 'Bittersweet'. I call it 'Tragicomfy'. I'll probably be able to demonstrate it for you guys sometime, but not with my current project.

>>30923944
>How long do you guys tend to keep your stories in "proofreading and refinement purgatory" before posting them?
Every chapter of BSTF was posted as soon as I finished it, no proofreading or refining beyond what I made mid-process. I generally made edits based on feedback a couple days after I released them. In the cases this involved edits to previous chapters, this managed to confuse just about everyone involved, including myself at times.

I'm currently experimenting with a different writing process that should minimize this risk when I return to a chapter-by-chapter release schedule. In the meantime, my next two stories will be no chapters, just straight-through, and will be passed by a couple beta readers before posting.
>>
>>30923944
I tend to keep em in proofreading/refinement for a couple hours, I reread it, revise where needed, have a friend revise it, then we both revise it once more before I finally post, then again, my stories are usually 100-200 lines, so not long
>>
>>30923944
I usually end up re-reading it maybe 3 times and then I just post it. Otherwise I'll obsess over it and never get it posted. If it has a couple issues that slipped through the cracks, oh well.
>>
>>30923944
>How long do you guys tend to keep your stories in "proofreading and refinement purgatory" before posting them?
By the time I've written a story out, I've gone over the early material a few times, so it's not usually long after that. As I post a chapter each week, each chapter gets a last-minute revision pass, and over the course I usually proof the latter bits a few times for continuity checking. Only E/V had an error big enough that I missed a week, because something that changed late in writing had a temporarily unrecognized consequence.

One-offs I tend to just shove out the door; they're simple enough that continuity isn't much of a concern so I just stay ready for typo fixes if anything is pointed out.

Unless you have a beta, there's only so much review work you can do yourself before you're just torturing yourself. You so easily get blinded to your own writing.

If there's anything I'm good at, it's stressing over something that's already in the bag.
>>
>>30923944
Too long. Usually a few days after the story's done, in addition to time spent proofreading before it's done, all because I always get nervous about making it public so I just keep delaying it. But that's something I've been trying to improve on.

One day for reading the final draft incredibly slowly and painfully, and several more/how ever many it takes to re-write the entirety of the rough draft. Currently I'm a slow little bitch so even this mid-sized chapter is taking way too long.

Usually a day or so for proofing and to go over it with my angry Cuban. Afterwards it may see revisions based in feedback, usually for errors, sometimes for revamps.

Speaking of, my revamp if Haunted has gone nowhere as I've been so sick I haven't been able to do much but sniffle and sneeze.

>>
>>30929352

the distinguishing factor in both arceus tower fun journal and floofy doggo ears was that the heroes were highly experienced, highly motivated, charismatic and willing to take on overwhelming threats on their own initiative. they were rightfully looked on as heroes and even though they got their butts kicked by alexander earlier on its somewhat forgivable because they came back and managed to survive whereas their rivals (possibly) did not. this is different than most pmd fics where the protagonist is angsty, helpless and ineffectual and comes off as more annoying than someone we can root for (at least until they build up proper experience).

my point is that it isn't about being "happy" specifically that's really what's missing from TMOM, its whether or not the audience can spend time continually rooting for the heroes (as some of those pics suggest) or if we just hope they get over their damn emotional dysfunction and helplessness already so they can go back to their proper job of being heroes again

See, this is a very important post to receive right before I write the last part of the second draft where I reflect on the important battle that was just waged. Had I not been given this advice, maybe the dialogue would have taken an extremely steep dive in the opposite direction towards manic obsession and denial. Having never actually bothered to read someone else's PMD fic through sheer disinterest, I didn't even realize all angst no drive was part of the problem in the first place, cuz I sure as hell didn't see anything wrong with the suffering I was doling out.

I try to take a shower before I write in order to try and clear my head in order to help me write. Helps me visualize what I need to write down before actually doing it. But in one split second of my shower, I remember that I need to get my friend a Christmas present and remember exactly what it was I wanted to get her.

I looked it up, added it to my amazon cart for later, only for my weak willed brain to give in to looking through various things that I'd want for Christmas/would get someone else for Chirstmas.

Depending on what your writing set up is, you might be able to. That being said, if it's at home, you can probably adjust how the room is like, and make it a more sick friendly environment.

I don't think so, here. Just because most of us don't doesn't mean we frown on it. Hell, my first story was about holding hands and they still tolerate me. If content like that isn't shunned, anything goes.

I did a smutfic once and people asked for more rather than less, despite it being kinda shit. so I might be doing more at this very moment. I think. Maybe. Possibly.

Shift gears and do something else for a bit. Forcing it won't get you anywhere.

For procrastinators like me, if you need to start working, here's something I suggest.
Say that you'll force yourself to work on that day, and force yourself, no distractions, no anything, get off 4chan, etc, and just write until you finish your goal (for me that's 1 story since I do 100-200 lined stories, very short 1-offs)
It just worked for me with my [spoilers] Maractus [/spoiler] fic that I was procrastinating for a few days, maybe it'll work for others.

>Childish parasitic jellyfish

I'd be more interested in seeing a protagonist try to deal with the neurotoxins. The addiction, obsession, and loss of inhibitions that result from it would make for an interesting perspective.

Every description of Nihilego in the game made it seem like it wasn't something you'd want to be anywhere near, let alone train. The interpol should have probably confiscated it rather than leave it with a kid.
>>
>>30949015
Realistically, I think Interpol should've confiscated every UB from the protagonist, but we need to fill our dexes so the games let us keep them.

Still, it raises the question of what kinds of things the kids in the Pokemon world would be trusted with were it a real world instead of a game. Would they really be entrusted with a mind-controlling jellyfish, or a mobile piece of paper that can cut through anything, or a giant walking mouth that eats everything? Logic says no, but Pokemon isn't the most logical series to begin with, so I don't know.
>>
>>30949473
Theory I'll be going with for my fic:
Knowing that the Interpol are using Anabel as bait, Looker and Nanu weren't able to trust Interpol with the UBs either.
>>
>>30949473
I guess by the end of the game, your character probably has more experience with inter-dimensional aliens and the associated nonsense than anyone else, so maybe leaving the UB's with your character isn't so bad.

>>30949670
Didn't Looker just use the protagonist as bait instead? Either way, using Anabel as bait is pretty sketchy, but it doesn't really suggest they would do anything bad with the UB's for those two to actively distrust them.

Had a bit of a scare there. My backspace key wasn't working. But I restarted my computer and now it seems to be working fine.

Just a quick question, though, what kind of sounds would Goodra make? If this were Origins/Generations. I have some ideas for other sounds, like Noivern sounds like a bat screech, but through a stereo, Salamence and Tyrantrum are just roars, Altaria's a bird, but I have no idea what Goodra would sound like.
>>
>>30952169
Bubble/groggle sounds sounds probably. Or something the likes of a very thick soup boiling
>>
>>30952274
I'm.... not very sure how to write that out.
>>
>>30952409

"GRGRGRGRGRGRGRGRLGRGRGRLGRLGRLGRGRGRGLRL"
>>
>>30952420
Ah, that explains so much.
>>
>>30952409
I don't think goodra would be making any direct conversations, instead the action of making a sound doing the work "Goodra bubbled with excitement, grumbled with irritation, etc"
>>
>>30952464
I need it for a quick moment between Zinnia and her Goodra, where she basically thanked her for doing something. That works or that situation, but I like to be descriptive, because I'm anal about that kind of stuff.
>>
>>30952531
"Zinnia thanked her Goodra, who responded with a delicate sound that met halfway between a gurgle and a coo."

Dunno, that's what comes to mind when I imagine Goodra speech that isn't just "let me repeat my name." If it had to be made into actual speech, I dunno, "goahg" maybe?

There's no real need to write out onomatopoeia unless you intend to have it be a recurring thing that helps identify a particular character because they say it so frequently.
>>
>>30952884
That pretty much works. I can kind of imagine it now.

Although, I'm really unsure if I should continue with the idea of going for a strict Origins/Generations take on it, considering pokemon like Goodra. Mainly because I have no idea how to work with Aster outside of things like "Whis" and the occasional "Mum"
>>
>>30953034
You're writing it mate, you can do whatever you want. That's the beauty of fanfiction in the end. Unless strict adherence to a particular canon is required, you can tweak more or less to your heart's content.
>>
>>30946157
Now this is a step up to the scolipede one you did. Suffers a bit from lesbos out of nowhere, but I think this one is pretty good. This one could be made into a proper fic if you ever desire to make a prose.
>>
>>30953211
a prose? new to writing terms, my only familiarity right now really is greentexting because of the /trash/ pokephilia board so I'm a bit confused on what you mean by that, sorry my friend
>>
>>30953108
I know, but I like to keep it close to canon. One of the reasons behind what I've set up as the Hoopa Man's identity as who he is, is because he's technically a canon character. You can assume he exists very easily, so it's a lot less like "My original character in da story, guys!" Not to knock fics that do use Original characters, one of my favorite ones use fan characters. It's just something I adhere too personally.

In fics what do you guys have your human characters eating? Like, I went back to go read a fic I haven't worked on in like three years and wrote the characters eating turkey sandwiches and bacon, and only now did I stop to think "where the hell did that meat come from?"

How do you guys handle this? I feel like using Pokemon for food source is a kind of borderline grimdark concept I dont really want to roll with
>>
>>30967563
the anime usually has everyone a vegetarian. You could go the vegetarian route too and have those sandwiches made out of berries and other stuff (like things pokemon make) or sweets baked and stuff.

Alternatively food could just be overlooked.

Or you could embrace that some Pokemon are eaten and not make a big deal out of it. Or also assume animals live in the Pokemon world too.
>>
>>30967563
In the single fic involving humans I've done, I don't think I've mentioned food once. It's just not important to the plot, so I don't include it. If I were to include food in a fic, I'd probably just dodge the question somehow by making it nondescript and never saying what it is exactly or specifying what's in it. Or I'd just make it some sort of meatless food.

As far as I know, canonical parts of the series make it a point to almost never reference humans eating Pokemon, except for a few rare instances. One case is in the anime, where it apparently was said at some point that Farfetch'd are hunted for food. In the games, Basculin's dex entry says it's "remarkably tasty". And there's the classic story of Slowpoke tails being cut off and eaten as a sort of delicacy.
>>
>>30967563
>what do you guys have your human characters eating?
Food.

Groundbreaking. Isn't it?

Like, rice, hamburgers, lettuce, pasta, asparagus, toasted bread, eggs, that kind of stuff. It's not any hard, really, in fact I'd surmise it's harder (and owtheedgier) to do without.

Let the world "autofill based on what's normal. It tends to work well". Where does the meat come from? Pick any of and or mix and match between food synthetizers (the world is capable of the tech), Pokémon meat (some Pokémon are canon consumed as food by humans) or animal meat (normal animals both exist in certain canons, and can be safely interpreted to be implied to exist in the others).

If you added the animal meat to your solution, bingo, you already have added enough available biomass and variety of that you also, as a bonus, get closer to solving the problems of 1.- what do wilds eat and 2.- why do Earthlike trees exist in the world. Want to add some variety? Prefix it with "water" and BAM! You now have the foundations to have the plankton biomass that the marine Pokémon should in theory be eating because what berries grow undersea, again?

And if you are asking where are the animals kept? Well, duh, in farms. Most likely well off the route paved for Trainers, considering we never see any yet the regions are notoriously big and farms have been shown to exist. Oh and then the seas.

Earth-like plants and trees are a notorious canon element of the franchise, we even have in-universe famous people named after some of them. There's no reason to believe the animal hylum is not there as well representing.

>>30967563
Food. Pokémon meat, animal meat, veggies, fruits, whatever. Pokémon get eaten - some people are opposed to it and some aren't. Even in a place as wacky as Sinnoh some Pokémon meat is still consumed thanks to their intelligence stratum more or less giving free range on things roughly at or below CC.

Whenever I see drawings of felines, canines, of vulpines with tongs hanging out, for some reason I can't help but think of pic related

>>30967563
As I write I try to interpret it as lower-order animals (e.g. fish, small invertebrates) exist thanks to out-reproducing, but higher-order ones (e.g. Carnivorans) don't due to being out-competed. I ALSO try to write that not all pokemon are sapient, and eating those that are less so is probably not frowned upon. I haven't written* for any of these species yet is all.

in BSTF, as an island community, I could get away with 'fish', and I believe we've seen non-pokemon fish exist in canon before. There's one reference to terrestrial meat.

In the fic I'm currently writing it goes a lot farther, partially because it's supposed to be in a wilderness scenario. The characters carry an undefined type of jerky as part of their rations, and upon coming across an already-dead (and cooked, though a tad overdone) Scyther, an offhand comment is made about edibility but the discussion doesn't get much further.

Ultimately, as Snapath pointed out, there are canonical statements about pokemon edibility, but the series just tends to avoid it. You need not.

*Blaziken would normally be one less-sapient species, but the one I'm currently writing for has extenuating circumstances that I hope I've made exceedingly obvious in its first couple scenes.

Considering that starter-lines are rare in the wild and typically begin their lives in artificial/domestic environs, I'd expect that the breeders would select for smarts.

With every chapter I finish, there's a cumulative blow I take where I am fully convinced I've been working on garbage for the past several months when I could have been churning out tons of smaller stuff that actually have the potential to be as good as some of my older stuff. These chapters have seriously been some of the most stressful projects I can recall working on yet, it's like there's no right answer anymore.

It always seems like a better idea to drop it altogether and try rolling for clean slates, or original works. But if I did that, I'd be a faggot.

Of course I'm going to see it through, but I feel as though it's generally going to end with a "These are all the special doggo stories, but this one that I worked hard to get 200k+ words on isn't really recommended." At least the little ones I fucked up I can just forget about, but this is my first attempt at giving a damn. I'm probably not going to go for something as ambitious as novel-length for years and years after this shit.

I like Suicune. I wish I were writing about Suicune. They are cute and nice.

>I like Suicune. I wish I were writing about Suicune. They are cute and nice.
Make your next story a Suicune story, short enough to be a palate cleanser or long enough to be a new beginning, whichever you like, after you finish MoM. It might do you good to step back from little fire doggos and look somewhere else, and big water doggos are a love of yours as strong.

I went into my current project and the one in the pipe thinking I should just get them out of the way before writing more Latias, but they're taking on lives of their own (albeit short ones) and it's nice to get the breather. I've been told that even favorite characters need breaks from the spotlight, for the writer's sanity if no other reason. I might even have found a new character or two to like! Never know what you'll end up with.
>>
>>30972018
Nothing stops you from writing about Suicune. There's far more in life than $CURRENT_YEAR memetic dogos. And, as you say, it's what you wish.

>rescheduling your life around
I guess I was lucky (and a bitch of a statistical outlier) then, my downtime from wisdom teeth was ~2 hours.

Wish you luck my fellow writer. And have a pen and paper with you, pain (or dumbness out of it) does inflict some really weird and worth it™ stuff on the mind.

It's going to be another few months for that, I just passed the halfway point none too long ago. And I told myself I'd start making original shit after this, and I'd get a job and stop being a waste of space, too. Glory days are over, it's almost time to pack up and let myself fall into obscurity because non-fanfiction has no demand from itsy bitsy nobodies.

That picture just hit me with quite a bit of nostalgia. Now I want to play the Prime Trilogy again.
But anyway, I really do wonder if Zygarde even has a counterpart in Ultra Space. If so, I imagine its Complete Forme might look more complex than a sphere, considering how complex Complete Zygarde looks.

No need to jeopardize a story just to make it lewd. There will always be more smut in the world, but cute will always leave people hungering for more afterwards.
>>
>>30978413
If you're hesitant on whether or not it's appropriate right now, it probably isn't.

If you've got momentum on your side, just continue writing as you would and if the lewd stuff comes, it'll come naturally.
>>
>>30978463
>>30978541
Lewd didn't happen here. There's a chance for it to happen elsewhere still. I think it not happening here actually increases the chances of it happening there. We're back on the road again so I have two or three thousand more words to write until I get there, so still not sure.

They really are fun characters though, it was amusing writing their reactions to the near miss.

It might be a bad idea to post a story update when we're less than 20 posts away from the bump limit, but it's been too long and I want to get this part out today. Now presenting part 2 of my Ribombee/Vespiquen thing.

http://pastebin.com/5nLSjy0f

I tried thickening the plot and adding more emotion here. I'm not sure if it worked out, so any feedback or advice for how to improve in those topics, or anywhere else in general, would be much appreciated.

Also, the next part will be the final one, and it'll also be quite a bit shorter than the first two. I'll work on it today and it should come out tomorrow.

OR of this story again. i'll be holding back on my usual feedback until the conclusion is released, but I'll say that the story is doing good so far. Good balance of the bit in the action scene and the drama that caused it, but I think the trigger (line 163-165) could have some more impact if Coba tried to talk to the angry 23.
I'll wait until the last chapter before giving my overall feedback. Keep it up!

How much prose is too much prose? What about too little? Do you guys prefer stories to be less description-dense or more?
>>
>>30995233
I think it should depend on whose POV you're writing from. If it's a more frank and straightforward character, than less dense description. If it's a more intelligent character, adjust it accordingly.
>>
>>30995233
Up to you mostly. Personally I like longer one-shots if they're NSFW, or longer chapter stories/shorter oneshots if they're SFW. Description-wise I love as much as I can get, though I think the important part of it is to make sure you know when and how much density to add to description/detail
>>
>>30995233
I like description, but I also prefer for it to be direct and concise. Flowery, purple prose is well and good as an exercise, but when the time comes to put pen to paper, I'd much rather have a shorter work that says everything I need it to efficiently, than a lumbering giant that arrives at its conclusions slowly.

Ideally, you should write as much as you need, describe as much as is necessary. But that's going to be different for everyone.
>>
>>30995233
slightly less description-dense, I have seen a bunch of stories where an enormous amount of detail is given to the most irrelevant shit.
>>
>>30995291
I agree, unless the person whose pov it's from is the kind of person who would pay attention to that kind of mundane detail. And even then you shouldn't go too far with it.

I think it depends on the scene itself. Like if a scene is fast paced then you should keep things concise, but if things are more slow, or if you're starting or introducing a scene I don't think its too bad to lay down a paragraph or so of description. You never want to really pile it on though. To avoid heaping prose on the reader, I feel like you could break it up with dialogue or character action, so you give the reader the description in bits and pieces instead of in one big block.
Like if a scene is starting you can lay down a decent sized grounding paragraph establishing the setting or environment, then have a character make a comment on the weather or the surroundings, ect ect
