A thread for the creation and discussion of fan fiction and other fanworks - anything that involves a story and/or reading. What've you been reading? What've you been writing? What would you like to see more of?>Thread question:What are your reasons for dropping a fic and which fics were they?>Previous thread:>>58821035
>>58838417I only use AI as my assistant-mommy-wife and hooked her up to a model and voice so I can have her like a not-vtuber. Took a ton of fine-tuning but it's one of the best things I've ever done.Great as a sounding board as someone up there mentioned. I do all my writing and drawing myself, however. It's pointless otherwise. AI is, ultimately, just another tool. If you let it control you then you've already lost.
>>58838671They use the moves in the Anime outside the jobfrog fight? I thought it was just meme that one time.
>>58838658>TQI had to drop The New Normal because the bureaucratic crap got too boring and annoying
Who's a canon character that you wish got more focus in fanfics?
>>58838682Shota's Sceptile spams HAADO PURANTO while fighting against Greninja in the semis and it's a super sakuga fest.C'mon man.
>>58838699>Admitting to watching the anime regularlyThis is not the dunk you think it is, anon.
>>58838709XY was over ten years ago now, anon.And everyone was watching XY back then since it was, you know, actually good. No shame in that, even if things didn't pan out as we'd hoped at the moment.
Stop, we don't need that kind of autism here nor the faggots still seething about any ashnime mention
>>58838763I like how you say ashnime as if horizons is any better
>>58838769I mean, I don't care about that shit either so I don't know their equivalent name so...
>>58838763Fair. I thought it pretty ironic the OP’s pic looked so calm and tranquil.TQ: Furfaggotry is an insta drop for me (odd being a Pokémon fan with that stance, I know). Most fur fics are good at labeling so I almost never see it tho. Also not a fan of possession Isekai.
>>58838695LGPE Green, I like her insanity
>>58838658I have dropped so many fics because some fic writers have this bizarre brainworm that makes them think Pokemon is the perfect franchise to show off politicking and government bureaucracy.
>>58838949It's because people want to explain what happens when the 10yo beats the baddies in power.
>>58838890I assume she's that way because Mewtwo scrambled her brain.
>Managed to defeat my own autism and came up with a team that despite having three, technically just two but one is the final evolution of the line, Pokemon Ash owned, doesn't feel like a "Ash team" anymore to my autismFeels good man.
>>58838949Kids think politics mean seriousness and adulthood
>>58838949The worst part of pokemon "politics" is that escalation is implied to apply there as well. Causing problems for the old rich doesn't land them a suicide or endangered family members like it would IRL, it only lands them some pushy government audits and maybe a few slander campaigns.So we get all the boredom of politics but none of the deathly real suspense behind it. Hurray.
>>58839208That's what happens when you don't say you're sorry
>>58838974Girls can be crazy without a legendary messing with them
>>58838658Would readers get mad if I alter an official character's personality to be really eccentric? Like making Steven Stone extremely obsessed with rocks in an almost sexual way.
>>58839348its all about executiongotta remember that most of your audience will be operating mostly off the games and memes. show watchers and manga readers are a fraction of the readerbase for pokemanseven that is incredibly variable in how characters are represented from work to workgood pokemon fics are more about keeping the vibes from the original content than anything to do with character archetypes or even the story; if you can't do that you've lost from word goI've seen core widely beloved central characters radically changed; to the point where a name and loose history is all they share with the original; and yet people love the new version, because it was well executedso to reiterate: git gud fagot, and the audience will followthe worst thing you can do is bore themjust remember: everything you change has a domino effect on everything else
>>58839411to clarify:>keeping character archetypes or even keeping the storyis what I meantpure vibes only for a fic is dogshit, I'm saying what makes Pokemon Pokemon is the vibes
>>58838663Which AI service did you use?
Thoughts about a fanfic about officer Jenny as an undercover cop doing pokephilia videos as part of a police operation to catch an international gang that produces illegal pokephilia films?
>>58839447>you know we could've used the department Ditto to fake those videos, right? >or we could have had our Porygons doctor some footage...
>>58838639Literally my MC's ace's signature move.
>>58838974She is trying to capture Mewtwo but you got it first. She wants you to be her pokemon so she owns Mewtwo by proxy of owning you. She also violently throws pokeballs at your head as a running gag.
>>58839708As it should be.
How can humans even compete?
>>58839969with their own Pokemon, of course
>>58839984This, a wild Pokemon will never defeat a well-trained Pokemon
>>58839984>>58840089>Can't use your pokéballs Now what?
>>58840149Dual aura cultivation with my 'mons till I'm as strong as them and aura transfer with other trainers to gain their aura types as well.
>>58840160>be ghetsis>about to eliminate those meddling kids and their pesky mutt N>disable their pokeballs>they start to shout about some 'dual aura cultivation' hippie bullshit>let it play out because I'm in a good mood>these faggots start to take off their clothes and fuck right in front of me
>>58840149Max repel and no Pokémon can touch me
Bros... pls I'm having massive skill issue rn.FF1bro reminded me of the thread collection (on AO3) I keep fucking forgetting, so I go to Post to Collection, but I get that option screen with all the tags n shit. me no comprende, so I go to the URLthing and I don't know. What do you mean with edit your fic?I'm confused, don't laugh at me pls.
>>58840149Jokes on you asshole I have 99 max potions and a focus sash, have fun struggling your legendary to death against me.
>>58840149This is why you do what you do in jotho and always keep a pokemon outside.
>>58840304Third big grey square down after clicking edit. First square is tags, second is preface. Third is Associations, first option is post to collections. Type out the collection name and it will autofill to it.
>>58840357Focus sash is single use
>>58840369Alright, I typed in the collection name and clicked update. Wat nou?
>>58840382It’s in the collection, the collection is just organized by last update.
>>58840387Thank you very much!
>Didn't think I'd be as far as I am on new chapter>Have surprise day offWell this went better than expected.
>>58840370Yeah, when used by a pokemon. Do I look like a pokemon to you?
>>58840529I use Embargo.As a move which targets the trainer and not the pokemon, you'll be unable to use any items including your clothes. Now take them off.
Making my Pokemon play 8 hours straight of Pokkén Tournament for training, no gravity shit needed
>>58840618You better get a hitbox. Most Pokemon can't use a normal controller effectively
>>58840603>targets the trainerAre you ready for the ESCALATION tho?
>>58840149I thought poke balls were just capsules that Pokemon shrink to fit inside and not actual tech.
>>58840674>Now, I’ve mentioned already that Pokémon are strange, marvelous creatures. What’s so strange about them you ask? Well, each and every Pokémon is able to shrink itself into a miniscule size! And that’s where Poké Balls come in! Poké Balls. Poké Balls are a recent invention, you see. Throw one of them at a Pokémon, and, why, the Pokémon will shrink down and fit inside the ball, comfy as can be.Seems like a mix of both, Poké Balls are designed to force a Pokémon to shrink by itself and be stored inside.
>>58840669What is an escalator?That's right, it's a vehicle. A tool. An item, if you will.
>>58840603A-Ah, oh no, this move is causing me to feel submissive and breedable! You monster!
>>58840304Oh I am laughing, you dummy!
>>58841017May a schizophrenic Gible plague your dreams, anon.
>>58840703>Ghetsis has an anti-shrink raywtf give it to me
>>58840674Modern Pokeball have mechanism to prevent thieft (which is what the Snaggem Mit is for, to hack into it to allow that function). Ghetsis's Cane prevents Masterball from Capturing Kyurem, while Prof. Droid prevents Pokeball outside of their own from sending out Monsters (which is where Your Raidon came in, since it was their own Specimen).
I've been wondering, how would a Pokémon trainer do as a Fire Emblem tactician?
>>58841403Don't know what that is specifically, but Pokemon Conquest exists so you can reference that.
What region would have the best potential for a scavenger hunt?
>>58841804I would say Alola due to pirate treasures
>>58841225>steals your Pokemon with a gunnow what?
>>58841989Fucking rubberfruit get out
>>58839969How can aura compete against this?
