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 kind of fics do you think are actually dying off and won't see a resurgence?>Previous thread:>>59174209
>>59196267It's 4/20 today. Would (You) ever get high together with your pokemon team?
>>59196301I don't do weed, I was about to trauma dump but I didn't wanna kill the vibe.
>>59196267Ashfics are still the norm, but I’m seeing a slow death of them (finally). You got the autists still trying to do re-tellings of anime seasons, but they’re becoming fewer and further between.
>>59196301Haven't smoked in years and years, but that's something I'd have to absolutely do just once, to get more of a measure of them. Feraligatr gets the blunt. The others get a blunt also.
>>59196301I'm no good with smoking but fuck yeah I'd share edibles with em.
>>59196301W**d is a gateway drug and you're irresponsible if you introduce your pokemon to it. Soon they'll be buying Celadon Gym grade shit, and from there it's poison-plant type psychedelics and then eventually the really hardcore shit. What exactly do you think are your options with a Dragonite or Salamence tier Pokemon that's become a junkie? Pokemon Centers can't heal a crack addiction. You'll have to blow the fucker's head smoove off
>>59196363Do kids in English speaking countries watch the Horizons anime? Are we going to get betrayed Liko fics in ten years?
>>59195448It's one of the three ;)t. literally fell asleep before i could reply, sorry>>59196301Winners don't use drugs, they experience the full pain of life *looks down on aspirin users*Ok, but really, weed smells like shit, worse than tobacco, i will never understand people who burn that shit and willingly inhale the smokes of it. Why subject yourself to such torture?
>>59196301Do you think Unova has a fentanyl crisis?
>>59196655Even if the anime were still as popular as it was during pokemania or the XY days I don't think we'll see a repeat of betrayed fics, those had certain pressures leading to them and the fad was still new.
>>59196439Pff, just hand them an ice cube everytime they try to crash out
>>59196267Never forget that battling isn't everything
>>59197032Nah, either you fight or you are WORTHLESS.
>>59197032How come it's always weak trainers who say this? Hmmm...
>>59197032Ah fuck, that's literally the MC of the (unpublished) fic I'm currently writing. He even has a Gastly.
Normalize Pokemon acting cute in fics
>>59196701Pikachu OD'd on fentynal live on stream a year or so back I believe.
>>59196701I think packs of Zoroark would disguise as humans then do the druggy lean in rich neighborhoods to lower property values and distress people of wealth.
>>59197279The government employs packs of Zoroark to distribute crack In poor neighborhoods among people of certain demographics.
>>59197386omg, CIA zorks?!?
>>59196347You may trauma dump if you frame it in TRAPPED and BETRAYED terms
>>59197386>zoroark are type traitors
>>59197386Have you seen those videos of zoomers passing out cigs, vodka, and machetes?
If your mc(s) would be/ go on a villain arc what would they be like? Fairplay villain? Only after the 'guilty' party and leave innocents out of the way? Someone who is genuinely evil and wants to hurt everything around it? Could they be nice or would they only be cruel? Would they be redeemable, or would they stick to villainy?
>>59197032>Pokémon don't need to be strong>owns a GastlySure Jan.
>>59196363Mate they're been dead since fucking Unova like I honestly think SI is the norm nowadays.>>59196655>Are we going to get betrayed Liko fics in ten years?Lol as if, they already got that in canon with Roy pandering and you can see them seething in reddit.But being serious unless the author is a repressed tranny the stories using female characters as MC are very few even in settings like Nanoha and so on
>>59197401Zoroark make the best glowies. They dissappear, gangstalk and mercilessly launch tax investigations on unsuspecting trainers with no one the wiser.>>59197539They also pose as, sleep with, and radicalize zoomies in universities in order to create domestic terrorists the league uses to push policies they want
>>59197587He's not really greedy,overly ambitious, or the psycho murdering sort but I feel like he'd gradually stumble into villainy, despite how confrontational he can be due to his anger, occasional cruelty, and self-centeredness.For his type of villainy I would imagine he'd end up as an evil team leader or executive, but closer to Giovanni and Team Rocket or Haze in that he'd be more of a criminal than a grand villain with some big scheme in particular.
>>59197587the most evil thing my MC would do is become the CEO of a shady business so that he could swim in money.
>>59197653>Check FFN’s front page>Ash is tagged in one third of ficsI wouldn’t say dead but it’s slowly declined.
>>59197653The only thing I know about the new anime is that there is currently(?) an arc where everyone distrusts the MC and the world is out to get them, sort of like how I assume the Kanto arc of IMO will go, so that edgy box is already ticked as well.
>>59197587He's already autonomous, recognizing good and evil but in the end choosing his own will. He'd view himself as being evil the moment he truly harmed someone but wouldn't mind and continue anyway without trying to justify or excuse himself. It'd start off with minimizing deficit and maximizing surplus for him and his own for their own prosperity and security turning into seizing the heirarchy, neutering its ability to oppose him and extracting its expendable value for his own ends because that'd be the most consistent resource for that. He wouldn't see the point in or care for causing harm for the sake of it. And he wouldn't fight for some abstract idea either. To summarize, it's all TR type of shit, as most other teams are fighting for some abstract idea.
>>59198271Damn that's a hard one to guess, very business oriented. Since two responses weren't posted at once I'll discount WoL and Tobio.William from Spice and Fox seems too much of an earnest, violent, hot head. It's a surprise he hasn't killed anyone yet. While Ian seems to self conscious, still I think he's the best fit given this character seems to have issues with authority.Either way I'll have to guess the unpublished Fate fic, or perhaps the Smeargle fic.
>>59197587If he succumbed to the temptations he faces, it would unironically be the end of the world.
>>59198549Crazed Creation?
>>59198600No sirree
>>59198625Penfriends then. Although it could always be IMO, but that depends on exactly how Oberon plans to kill all pokemon, besides that Kuzey doesn't seem like the sort that would be tempted, rather he'd be cowed.Ian from PoPT seems like a more distant guess since Team Rainbow Rocket seems more like the sort that takes over rather than destroys worlds.
>>59197429My parants BETRAYED me by being professional drug dealers, leaving me TRAPPED in a shitty childhood. Now I seek REVENGE on drugs by not doing them.
>>59197587Wol: Full templar against the rising darkness for the sake of Corneria, and ultimately Sarah specifically if it came down to choosing her or the kingdom. A big part of what hold's his battle autism back is desire to avoid hurting people and pokemon. Without that he would be much more efficient and deadly. Tobio: He would start his own evil team for the sake of money. He would double the subversion by having his organization be an evil team that is actually the good guys... who are ACTUALLY the bad guys pretending to be villains with hearts of gold. He would pretty much create Team Rocket with a good reputation.
>>59198888Is that Crazed Creation?
>>59198493I didn't realize we were keeping it a secret, but then again people are probably trying to avoid spoilers. But unless I secretly am planning on making Tobio the villain all along it was all a scam to scare Josephine off her land so he could purchase it dirt cheap and dig for gold then I'd rather people know who I'm talking about. Besides, Wol would stand out for his villainy from being in such a different setting. Funny that somebody else has a very similar turn to the darkside that Tobio would have.
>>59196267What do you think about ecchi humor? Like male MC falling on top of a female character's breasts?
>>59199000>TripsThey have spoken. But it's not a rule but it makes a funny guessing game, I just thought it was funny to make my reply a vague post since I haven't written much, the guy after me is probably in the same boat.
>>59199076Boring for me personally, unless there's some switch to the usual beats. Like idk, reacting with complete indifference, the girl trying to get into the guys' pants or the guy being gay and being tortured by sexy girls.
>>59199076I close the story.
What do you think of fics with multiple languages? I don't mean just a few lines, but entire paragraphes and important events in another language. Read Penfriends and CC and thought 'interesting, but annoying' (at least with CC. Penfriends at least translates the pasta parts).
>>59199108Oh btw, those fics don't do the entire paragraph thing into another language.
>>59199108I thought it was weird in Game of Champions since the other language was Japanese meaning everyone was speaking english for some reason. It's not like the translations were only for the reader either, as in fics framing device is Red retelling his story to a team rocket goon.
>>59199076I don't really go for it much myself, the closest I've gotten is the guy misreading the way the girl is getting really close/touchy with him to be lewd when it's for a mundane reason except he's not misreading it at all.
>>59196301Probably not, but if someone offered the opportunity I wouldn't refuse.
>>59197587I want to do a TACHIBANA SAN scene. Maybe a little maiming.
>>59198493I feel like Will has been fairly reasonable with his violence so far.
>>59199785True, that's the surprising part, he's almost lost it a couple times now but he always pulls away. It's a true talent.There's a dirty joke in there somewhere
>>59197587Now before my demons roll the night across my eyesI tremble as I wait perhaps to sinYield unto temptation and be ruler of the worldAnd all I do is let the beast come in
>>59199076It's a visual gag that doesn't work as well in writing.
>>59200363imaginative skill issue
Mahoganyanon, I summon you!It's... not the greatest, but I wanted to finish it before going to wok today, so like the Plumeria giving Derry the side eye, I'll probably redo it at a later point.Still, I hope you like it in spite of its flaws.
>>59200488I also don't know if Sneasel even likes the backpack or not as I haven't read past chapter 1 yet, so I dunno if it's even accurate. Sorry if so.
>>59200491>>59200488She is adorable, I approve.
>>59200488Check them dubs of art
>>59200488Forgot to say but this >>59200598 is me, Magoganyfag. Don't worry about reading too far, I talked myself into splitting the latter half of chapter 3 into a new chapter so that'll end up being revised when I start posting again, probably sometime during or after the summer.
>>59197686>sleep with, and radicalize zoomiesExplains the birth of N, Ghetsis was a Ted Kaczynski.
Hey uh, just wondering... What are those cia microfones called?
