Yeah, but it's more of a therapeutic thing or just a timewaster. It's not really something I intend to publish or even really finish. I don't really have the work ethic for that anyway.
Nothing worth mentioning, just a bunch of concepts that will probably result in nothing done.
I have a story but I don't want to go through the trouble of writing it, so I just think about it to myself sometimes, with the various plotbeats happening in my head.
Okay.
It's a story about the main character helping an Audino girl improve her life.At the start of the story, her life is pretty shit. Everybody is either ambivalent towards her or downright malicious, including her divorced mother.
Have you ever seen those images from the 2010s about girls who have extremely terrible lives and get bullied all the time? I think that popopoka's "blind girl" is the most recognized example. Anyway, the Audino girl's story is supposed to be a sort-of riff on that.
The Audino girl becomes more clingy and obsessed with the main character as the story progresses, and then the second half of the plot deals with that. The main character tends towards intense, irrational guilt, so I'm planning to write him using a lot of mental gymnastics to either brush off the Audino girl's weird behaviors early on or believe it's his fault somehow.
Also, the setting is a universe where Pokemon have technologically caught up with humans and have their own society side-by-side with them. Partly to somewhat keep the aesthetic of the images I described earlier, partly because I like the image of an Audino in a japanese schoolgirl outfit, and partly because I've always thought that PMD's idea of a society of Pokemon I've always found to be somewhat sterilized and I wanted to give my own idea on what it would look like.
I was thinking about a short isekai story about a /vp/ like anon landing as unova's protagonist; he hates gen 5, uses the word shitmon against other trainers before losing, and is a contrarian at every possible moment. But I don't want to slog through BW1 again.
I preferably don't want to slog through anything, I'm not as patient as I used to be. Which is why I'm thinking of just doing it from memory, and using the wiki if I forget something specific
May as well wing it if you're truly targeting a short story. Anything actually following the zero's journey throughout the game plot wouldn't be short.
I'm just trying to conjure up myself a perfectly ideal balance of the FKB trifecta after drawgays have failed me, and I must say that the Abominable Intelligence is more creative than they ever could wish being. . .
I have a story but I don't want to go through the trouble of writing it, so I just think about it to myself sometimes, with the various plotbeats happening in my head.
I have this problem where I feel like rebooting freshly-made fics all the time. Like I have a clear vision for the middle, but I keep going all "I should've started like this" or "this intro ain't good, I can't do jack shit in Paldea".
Also I'm one of those people who get lost in how many fics he's writing at a time and the moment I realise it I end up focusing on two or three. This fic does live in my head though and hardly leaves.
The initial idea was to gap the goal of pulling all the stakes in Paldea with random encounters with various characters and appearances from others. But you know, what's there to do in Paldea?
Arceus.
Even though the Japanese is アルセウス, which is A-Ru-SE-U-Su, some people are moronic and started pronouncing it like Ar-KEY-us. Dr. House got it right but some people missed that episode. Anyway, that's who, why, and how stupid.
I don't expect you to keep your end of the bargain (and even if you did, someone else will shitpost with the OP image lol), but I like futa too, so I'll see what I can do for you.
I fricking hate fics that are 100k+ words. The fricking Nostromo by Conrad isn't 100k words and manages to deliver a lot in terms of characters, setting, plot, drama, and even comedy and seems infinitely more sprawling than a 500k+ word book could ever be. People need to step back and actually see what story they want to tell and why and deliver it succinctly.
if a fic gets really long then it's fine as long as it has good pacing tbh
a lot of stories don't but you can usually tell that based on reading a few chapters (e.g. a fic is over 150k words but isn't at the 2nd fricking gym badge yet)
the red underlines tell you which words have more power
as much as i wish english was phonetic (i.e. spelled as its pronounced) it just isnt. then again, id rather be dead than live in a world where people pronounce ask "axe"
>i wish english was phonetic
Goofus. >I wish that English were phonetic
Gallant.
You don't wish that. English uses over 40 phonemes, it would mean the same word would develop many "correct" spellings due to regional accent differences, and an entire Internet of text files would be standing against being rewritten.
Benjamin Franklin couldn't pull off a change to phonetic orthography, and he managed to convince people to use lightning rods in defiance of God's will to smite the homes of sinners.
There's probably a good reason that spelling hasn't changed much in 400 years and most of that has been toward simplification; loss of ligatures (æ), dieresis (except for no good reason on naïve), and dropping doubled letters that don't preserve meaning (cancelled to canceled and all of those Brit colourfully spelled wourds becoming mere words).
>where people pronounce ask "axe"
Would such things even count as "people?"
I literally check what I write four times on average. I go through every chapter four different times, I also number my drafts.
At first I read through them slowly, but as I go over again and again I start reading through them faster. (This is important to do, there's many things you don't catch if you focus on every word).
I am careful to teach my reader every single name and pokemon word and make it ignore all onomatopoeia so there's never any red lines. I also change the size of my text when checking so no pesky double words creep in.
I then put it in google docs which notices grammar mistakes as well (usually prepositions).
I then give it to my beta, who does a lot of grammar cleanup himself. Then I see his proposed changes and go through them, and I go through what I've written one final time before I post it.
>Somehow, there's still grammar mistakes I notice when posting
If most writers just publish draft 1 or 2 garbage, it makes perfect sense it's full of errors. Writing is a process that makes you shit out grammar mistakes.
they get like that because you have to always explain in great detail every single character's feelings at every single point in time while also playing out every single dialog, wild battle, and shit they ever take along their journey
it doesnt help that the stories being digital means ppl cant actually conceptualize how much they're being made to read
i think past a point of like 250k stories become too long for their own good imo
Writing a Nemona/Protag adventure fic that may or may not involve some grooming. Posted the first chapter but I assume people only start being interested in pokemon fics after they get 50k+ words under their belt so I'll keep grinding away.
Sure, it's obviously just chapter 1 so none of the interesting ideas are realized yet but I hope you enjoy it.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/50389525
i actually read it. it's pretty good. but just to be an obnoxious homosexual i'll name the things i didn't like first. and do it in list form: >humour was a bit overdone >Emotionally things jumped a bit to keep the pacing smooth >Opening was a bit band (tho idk how else i'd write it)
it's not perfect, but that's all the criticism I could reasonably give you. course you'll have time to frick up later, but still. now time to list the things i LIKED about the fic: >Good grammar, good grasp of english. >Pacing was smooth throughout, made it a very enjoyable read >Well characterized protags, their characters came through in their inner voice, and the dialogue wasn't too bad >This specific setup with not!Florian and nemona seems like pretty good setup for a S/V story with a different twist.
in short, it's very nice for what it is now. but a fic like this lives or dies on the actual "adventure" aspect of the adventure. so i'll see where it goes. Tldr: good job.
P.S. making sprigatito (and meowscarada) a male and giving it to nemona makes you a madman
And yeah, my beta did say similar things (Very specifically that I am not funny and should stop trying to ever be) but I can't stop my want for a comedic edge in any non-serious situation.
As for the "adventure" part, I have a lot of plans. I'm the type that maps out as much as possible in a fic so I can get a nice plot that actually has rising action and I've literally spent weeks trying to figure out a satisfying resolution.
So, uh, what I'm trying to say is that if it's good now, you'll be pleased to know that I personally think it should only get better from here. Because that's what everyone else said about my other fic I've written (except that one started out being really bad and got decent by the end).
Also I'm one of those people who get lost in how many fics he's writing at a time and the moment I realise it I end up focusing on two or three. This fic does live in my head though and hardly leaves.
The initial idea was to gap the goal of pulling all the stakes in Paldea with random encounters with various characters and appearances from others. But you know, what's there to do in Paldea?
Nice fic anon. Please try your best to finish it in its state. Readers lose confidence and can't connect to a constantly changing story.
Okay.
It's a story about the main character helping an Audino girl improve her life.At the start of the story, her life is pretty shit. Everybody is either ambivalent towards her or downright malicious, including her divorced mother.
Have you ever seen those images from the 2010s about girls who have extremely terrible lives and get bullied all the time? I think that popopoka's "blind girl" is the most recognized example. Anyway, the Audino girl's story is supposed to be a sort-of riff on that.
The Audino girl becomes more clingy and obsessed with the main character as the story progresses, and then the second half of the plot deals with that. The main character tends towards intense, irrational guilt, so I'm planning to write him using a lot of mental gymnastics to either brush off the Audino girl's weird behaviors early on or believe it's his fault somehow.
Also, the setting is a universe where Pokemon have technologically caught up with humans and have their own society side-by-side with them. Partly to somewhat keep the aesthetic of the images I described earlier, partly because I like the image of an Audino in a japanese schoolgirl outfit, and partly because I've always thought that PMD's idea of a society of Pokemon I've always found to be somewhat sterilized and I wanted to give my own idea on what it would look like.
Seems like a nice fic anon. You should try writing it, if you have the time.
Is using the free online AI golems to gen me some truly grotesque monsterwieners count for anything?
Thank you. >You should try writing it, if you have the time.
I'm actually about halfway through the introductory arc. Though I've barely actually written anything other than notes on conceptual worldbuilding stuff these past couple of weeks, mostly because I haven't been in a lot of situations recently where I need to burn a lot of time.
Not all fics need to have an aim. Sometimes I just want to read what is essentially a slice of life with plot on the side. In this case, more words is better.
You can also mention that Conrad himself was an ESL to add further insult to your injury against unfocused people's insistence on producing verbal diahorea . .

Used to. Years back when i returned to series after getting bw1 and 2 in high school, i tried coming up with a setting for a pmd story. I was also seriously into fnv back then, too, so i had it take place in an “apocalyptic” (no humans left, everything’s overgrown, no radiation, millennia after some catalyst) BC-washington state area. Never wrote anything, but I drew some maps and came up with the various plot points in my head.
At the moment it's just a very rough concept. I've always imagined it as some sort of fangame, but I don't think I'll never do anything with it.
The setting is some sort of hyper prestigious Trainers' School-like school where people like Rich boys, Ladies and Ace trainers would attend. Once students graduate, they have a diploma that let's them have priority over other people, skip procedures and tests when it comes to work in anything Pokemon-related, such as applying as a league worker or gym leader, becoming a Ranger, getting funds for a Pokemon investigation or getting access to important clients as a Pokemon breeder. Since it's Pokemon centered, the subjects imparted would be stuff like: >Pokemon Biology - Genetics and Growth >Mythology >Type-specific subjects >Strategy applied in battle >Communication >History >etc.
For example, one of the assignments required for graduation would be to evolve a Pokemon that evolves through friendship. Then there's other stuff like the characters and dynamics around the school, but idk if anyone is even interested to read that.
I'm really only good with writing encyclopedia-type fiction (behaviors, appearance, etc.) and even then only barely. Is there a niche for this kind of writing?
>write a relationship between a young man and a slightly older girl in a romance that lasts only a short while without making each of them like a complete c**t (ala different life circumstances and distance) >inevitably start writing it like my own past relationship
Oh god, I'm writing fictional therapy for my own heartbreak using a franchise filled with fantastical monsters
Posted the fifth and final chapter of this one. Dawn in Alola having lots and lots of sex. Fifth chapter is a gangbang between Dawn and pretty much everyone.
Yeah, but it's more of a therapeutic thing or just a timewaster. It's not really something I intend to publish or even really finish. I don't really have the work ethic for that anyway.

Would it have a happy ending?
Happy for the two of them, yeah.
imagine PMD mixed with baki the grappler
>baki the grappler
I never read it.
I forgot what it was
I was thinking about a short isekai story about a /vp/ like anon landing as unova's protagonist; he hates gen 5, uses the word shitmon against other trainers before losing, and is a contrarian at every possible moment. But I don't want to slog through BW1 again.

Suicune is a Qlin, and horses are made out of hard meat afterall.
Where one can see more of this sort of things (unsuitable for posting on a blue board)?
NTA but try catbox.moe or litterbox moe. You can still post NSFW links in a blue board.

Grant your own wish.

I have this problem where I feel like rebooting freshly-made fics all the time. Like I have a clear vision for the middle, but I keep going all "I should've started like this" or "this intro ain't good, I can't do jack shit in Paldea".

That's a real meaty fic if I've ever heard one.

Currently doing a kink fic. One of these days I'll go back to the unfinished PMD short I was doing, and maybe do more with oliver the ribombee.
