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 do people and pokemon in universe think Hell is like?>Previous thread:>>59639676
>>59650738>tqLikely whatever my version of utopia in the Pokemon world is.Threadfic catalogue for bored anons: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/vpfanfictionthread
>>59650738Jesus is canon in my fic.
>>59650738>TQThey just ask their Dusknoir
>>59650759Just how powerful is Oak?
>>59650774At least 10 Ash Ketchum's worth.
>>59650777Lucky Seven, if that's what you think then that's canon
>>59650774>Gardevoir has the psychokinetic power to distort the dimensions and create a small black hole.this is canon btw
>>59650784The black hole is only building level at best. Pokeverse downscale. Goku reduced to a single atom still solos.
>>59650774That's CGI. Oak only moves when the Rotom does because the Rotom is just projecting his image.
>>59650759I like the idea of Dusknoir being able to do this if they want to
>>59650784god I wish a Gardevoir would create a black hole and would tear the foundational building blocks of MY existence apart
I wish I could write.
>>59651177Don't worry Joltiknigger, you can do it, I believe in you!
I don't know how to directly respond to answers in the previous thread, but to who I presume is Mahoganyanon:Interesting about the eyes and hair. Granted I wanted to make his eyes purple by mixing blue and red ink/pen but I fucked it up. I guess I misread the 'magenta'. Also considering Rhys's eyes. I swear I remember it was blue, but I guess I was just seeing things then, especially since it's quite a bit ago when I only read chapter 1 of Mahogany.To who I know is Pobro:Yeah... I mean aside from that when one time that Romanian tried to set fire to the migrant hotel next to us and the fact that (before my time) there were fucking shootings going on in there. But those have nothing to do with the store, though we get hit a lot by migrant hotel strays (not literal bullets, though one time a drunk Pole broke our window). I guess yesterday the bomb went off in the sense that our boss collaborated with some sportsclub or whatever and suddenly in the last half hour before closing time there were like thirty kids and a few adults in the store. Like goddamn it, at least TELL US when you pull shit like this! This motherfucker, I swear. It's like everyday is a humiliation ritual or something I fucking- whatever bro.And to the other anon:The Dumb Coward is funny whether he wants to be or not :D
>>59651177
>>59651177Just take some existing plot and shove Pokémon, anon.Like take Golden Sun, Tales of the Abyss if you're into clones and Mewtwo, Chrono Trigger because timetravel in Pokémon Is common as fuck and so on. Alternatively just make your MC the cooles mf who gets his dick sucked at any moment and has a wiki page/serebii as his cheat
>>59651177Blessed Joltikpost.I need to finish my video game, then I will write again surely.>>59650738Hell is a fictional concept invented by Xerneas as one of her measures to scare humans into line. The Xerneas Accords set in law several of her edicts, such as limiting conventional weapons development and forbidding pokephilia and homosexuality.Hell is also real, but it isn't what she claims it is.
I think the chapter I’m currently writing is going to be a massive tonal shift, no idea how my readers are going to react to it. I really want to present this case of sudden frustration but no idea if it fits in with the tone I’ve established, in a way what happens in the first half of the chapter I have planned contradicts the feelings of the recently uploaded one.>I’m the author and you gotta DEAL WITH IT
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention since I read Fight Club a little while back, my thoughts on the book:You know, SELLOUTS spoiled me on the whole split personality thing. But the book isn't exactly subtle about it either. I really like the feel we get for the Narrator's fucked up head. You get really immersed into his self destruction, the short and engaging chapters helps with this. How beat up the narrator gets is also fun, going to Fight Club, the self destruction, Tyler, all of it is killing him and there are some wonderful descriptions of how he looks. The description of how he ruins other peoples lives or fucks with them, while often lacking in internal narration, also feel great. They're really sickening and I love it, I'm surprised SELLOUTS man hasn't more directly referenced the scene with Nina.I kind of like how despite everything he does, the Narrator still fails, and how much the book skips around a lot also helps. It's brisk despite the style of the narration, compared to SELLOUTS which can feel plodding.Marla is really pitiable, I feel like that's all that needs to be said there. Also funnily enough, Angel is the character I think most fits into her mold, not the furry chink who's way too into Andrew or grace. Also Marla, for some reason despite the fact she was mentioned as being white I imagine her as a black woman with an afro, Ethiopian features but in the darker side of black, compared to VI who I see with turkish features and with a skin tone just past gold and bronze.But man does SELLOUT(s) really reference it, even the chemical burn scene is a reference. I liked it in Fight Club more.I skimmed the second book, very Scifi. I wasn't fond of it. I heard there was a comic, I'm not going to read it. I saw the movie as well, I think it still would have been funnier if it ended with the narrator failing and getting tackled after he kisses Marla, but it's better than the book.I didn't care for the soundtrack.
>>59651291This happened to me but he gave me a bike
>>59651245>Interesting about the eyes and hair.It is interesting, I didn't realize it for a bit either. Anyways, you're always welcome to give Mahogany a reread, and torture SELLOUTS man by not reading his fic.>>59651386Xerneas is the pope?
>>59651530>Xerneas is the pope?Arceus' existence is only vaguely known to a few Sinnohan and Johtoan scholars. So Xerneas is one of the highest ranked global deities, and one that actually bothers to interact with mortals. If she is displeased she sends plagues and crop blights to punish cities and nations for failing to enforce her accord, or sends the Swords of Justice to slay militant groups.In reality, several regions do not comply. The Lake Trio noped her out of lording over Sinnoh, for one major opposition.
>>59651245You just double arrow the post number's like you do with thread replies, it automatically links it there
>>59651519I just took it without asking, he seemed happy as i ran away
>>59651419Readers can suck it. Do what you feel is closest to your vision and do your best to render it.
>>59651595That's a pretty interesting headcanon, for no reason in particular I imagine Sinnoh is a poke-equivalent of the Mormon state of Desseret, a theo-democracy founded on the principles of their niche religon.For no reason in particular, I imagine poke-Italy is Nectrocracy, a country ruled by the dead, where you have the right to contribute to your ancestor's immortality after you die. It's a country run by mega-boomers who would sooner gild their descendants than ever decrease the amount of money and resources allocated to their phylactery fund.
>>59651652>theo-democracy founded on the principles of their niche religonIt is sort of like that, yeah. Small towns are essentially run by the priesthoods of minor deities like local Shaymin, and they still have a lot of sway in major cities. The Lake Trio's not very hands-on, but have some loose edicts of their own passed down to the priesthoods. Dialga and Palkia barely give a shit, they have bigger concerns. Giratina has a small following of edgelords and doesn't actually like them or have a way to tell them to please stop.
>>59651595>If shestopped reading there
>>59651652Are they all ghosts or hex maniacs then?
>>59651925I imagine it's a combination of the Obzedat Ghost Council from MTG, and Kanto in pokemon Ghost Grey. That is to say not everyone uses Ghost-types, but by necessity the government and the ancestor spirits the run the place all specialize in the Ghost-type.
>>59652061this dr one agr ees with the post would you you like to meet and discuss mor e
What's the appeal of the threadfics? Like what makes them worth reading.
>>59652102For me, I enjoy seeing the works of other new and learning writers.
>>59652102I can made fun of them here and know they'll read it

>>596521021. Manageable number of fics of varying quality and subject matter. Several I would class as very good.2. Added community element; there are other anons to talk to who have likely read the same fic as you and are available to discuss, but the anonymous nature of the thread helps prevent the hugbox you might find in other writing communities.3. Shitposting.idk man it's something to do that isn't playing video games or not writing my own fic

>>59652185

>>59652192
>>59652198End.
>>59652102There are authors lurking in this very thread
>>59652102Each fic is going to have its own appeal, but the appeal of threadfics in general is the same kind of appeal of being in a small game server or going to a local hobby games shop. You get a familiarity with the regulars, and it can be cozy while still being a 4chan thread where you can call people faggots all you want.
>>59652145>>59652202Nauseating cornyslop garbage. I hope the person that made this gets into an accident that leaves them in unbelievable chronic pain for the rest of their life
>>59652102Generally, a good chunk of the threadfics are going to have the fingerprints of this thread. A lot of anons bitch about power fantasy/generic journey/SI slop as those tend to be the most prevalent kind of stories in the fandom, and I can pretty confidently say none of the threadfics are that. They’re unique, most of them in a weird way, but you’re certainly not getting anything generic. Not saying that’s a substitute for good.
>>59652369Thank you for your wisdom Andrew.
>>59652369You sound like someone who routinely leaves chapstick in the dryer.
>>59652376Rank the threadfics both according to quality and slop levels.
>>59652369I agree but only because the writer admitted to buying gen 9 games
Had a dream people were shitting on my work in the comments so when I woke up first thing I did was check
>>59652593If you want I can shit on your fic. Link it.
>>59652128>Spice and Fox>You come for the journey, stay for the crime thriller.This guy's here?I've been meaning to get around to Spice and Fox, because Hug Your Cats was incredible. Kudos to you wherever you are anon. I hope your life situation gets better.
>>59652617Thanks. Last I checked I have the most non-isekaijin kudos and views of the active threadfics. Should absolutely be a consolation award of sorts.
>>59652665>kudosIf anything it means you're a SELLOUTS who appeals to the masses./cope
>>59652670>appeals to the masses.Something something anons bitching and whining for fifty threads. You got a chuckle out of me.
>>59652670>You come for the journey, stay for the crime thriller.Is a polite way of calling it a rug pull ntw slop.
>>59652438My fic > other fics Simple as
Anybody here have experience writing, uhhh, well... gay furry anal sex between a human and a bipedal 'mon, with the human on the receiving end?Or know any fics with this content? I really don't have any idea of where to start but due to circumstances I need to write this.
>>59652808I knew Hyde was a faggot but I didn't know he was a Pokefucker.
>>59652810Uhh, not quite. But vaguely related. Except not. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the barebones of smut prose - penis go in hole, jiggle about, feels good, babies are not made. The real issue is extending that prose and making it sufficiently erotic to get a reader to blow their load; if you've never experienced those sensations yourself, how the heck do you describe them? How does a blind man know what the colour red looks like? You can only guess, and it'll be really evident to anybody reading that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.>so go out and have those sensa-Don't wanna actually get fucked in the butt for a one-shot story. Just hoping there are fans of the man in here that might have a better idea.
>>59652808You start be reading the material you want to write usually. Unless you have the personal drive to do so then you can just wing it and you'll build on what it you find appealing. I'm very tired.If you are writing this for ulterior reasons then read up on the subject matter and figure out what is the appeal of the subject you're writing.
>>59652871>babies are not madeGet out. My pregnancy fetish will not stand for this.
>>59652882I'm sorry, anon, but two boys, well...
>>59652884Words of a coward. Pathetic.
>>59652881>You start be reading the material you want to write usually.Yup, yup! And I did go to AO3, filter to M+M and Explicit rating, and found... 5,163 results. That doesn't guarantee that they're going to be Pokemon on human, either, OR that they're going to have great examples of smut prose.I'm not giving up, of course, I'm currently looking through each page for stuff that might be what I need - but it doesn't hurt to extend feelers here too, y'know? Might be some fans of that content here who would jump at the opportunity to share their favourite fic. >"Oh, I know! There's this Vaporeon fic which inspired the greatest prostate orgasm of my life!"Something like that.
>>59652896Come to think of it, Vaporeon's probably a good place to start looking.
>>59652896YOu can customize an ao3 search further. Just add pokemon or pokephilia tag or something.
>>59652438>Rank emAs one of the more writefags in here, I can’t really be objective. I also haven’t read all of the fics in the catalogue yet (I’ve read prolly 3/4), but I know enough about them where I’m comfortable saying they’re not generic. I’d defer to Reviewanon if he’s around, as I think he gives each fic he’s read a very fair shake.>>59652665>Most kudosNice feather in the cap, Spicefag. I promise I’ll get to read S&F someday T_T I fucked around and added up all of the comment numbers from the collection. How the fuck does PoPT have 45% of them?
And so the dick measuring begins.
I wrote another review. It's fucking 4500 words long. Twice as long as my last one. I didn't even talk about all the main characters. It's going to take 24 posts to dump this thing.Should I just post a link to a pastebin instead? I'm no stranger to shitting up threads with walls of text but this is getting egregious.
>>59653043>PastebinGo for it. Would be good to have it as a place to post your old reveiws too, Reviewanon.
>>59653014Poop town had built in commenters from previous works and they are very consistent with their output. They write a lot so they get a lot of comments.
>>59653036>beginsI've been measuring this whole time. For the record, IMOfag is losing the dick measuring.
>>59653043Yeah that's excessive for posts.Also, pastebin? Is rentry not the cool kid thing anymore?
>>59653043>4500 words longEither a rentry if you're being sensible, or dump it in the thread if you're a man. A courageous man, handsome and who gets all the hot goth mommies.
>>59653055If you're getting into a dick measuring contest with a woman you must've started with the world's cruelest handicap
>>59652808A few diagnostic questions.What is the Pokemon species? This will affect your penis mechanics.Are you writing from top or bottom POV?How much realism and detail are you going for?
>>59653108Let's say... Meowscarada.Bottom POV. There's giving and receiving involved. Giving is easy to write, receiving not so much - I have no idea of any of the sensations involved and frankly my own posterior is exit-lane only...for the moment. How much realism and detail? It's greentext format and I'm only focused on getting the reader to blow their load as my sole focus, so let's say anything goes.
>>59653055If IMOfag had a dick, it'd probably be the biggest.
>>59653129If you’re dealing with realistic cat dick, it's gonna be barbed and probably unpleasant. Good news is, condoms exist. Slap a thick rubber on there and it's probably fine. Remember to have them use some kind of lube.If you’re shy about fingering, try clenching your ass really hard, and flex it a little like you're pulling in. That's a bit like how it feels stimulating the tissue inside, but more. It's also going to hurt a bit at first while it's adjusting, and feel weirdly full. Like your stomach after a big meal, but lower.Prostate stim can be felt some in the dick, especially if you're already hard. Like it's being stroked from the inside, under the base.
>>59653145You're a god amongst men. This is exactly the type of advice I wanted. I think I can guess what you mean. Have you written anything of this subject matter yourself? I'm pushed for time here, about to head out to dinner - I'd really like to stay and pick your brain but I'll be gone for 4 hours time...
Like a bolt from the blue, it's time for another Threadfic review, smutfic 2 electric boogaloo.Today: Champions (i.e. Triple Thread, Frayed Ends, Anchor Stitch and Spindle)https://rentry.co/c3w3d5i9Overall: Well I’m not here to fuck spiders/10Though you may forget the Threadfic Review, rest assured it remembered you, three years later.
>>59653166Oh yeah, spoilers are unmarked because rentry uses block spoilers rather than inline. You have been warned.>>59653088Unfortunately, "sensible" describes me better than "courageous," "handsome," or "gets all the hot goth mommies."
>>59653151Nothing usefully detailed in the areas you're looking for. Vibrators in the Forest has a guy getting bisexual sandwiched by Linoones, but its format is more like a forum/reddit story and on the vague side. I suggest looking at Unprofessional Conduct with an Insectile Coworker for some human male on male anthro with semi-realistic speculative biology.>>59653166I'm about to sleep, but will read in the morning. Thanks for reading even though it's outside your comfort zone, reviewanon.
>>59653180>he doesn't know
>>59652942There's also human/pokemon relations, do a search with both and bookmark what you read, then if you need more do a search with one off and the other blacklisted then switch.
>>59650738When sleeping outdoors, what's more practical? Camping tents or sleeping bags?
>>59653335Isn’t it supposed to be sleeping bags inside of tents?
>>59653351if you're Richie Rich, sure
>>59653335Sleeping bags are easier to set up. You just unroll it and it's good to go. A tent takes longer to prop up and is more effort to lug around if you're backpacking everything.
>>59653335Using tents is buzzwolephobic.
>>59653335If you need to choose then a sleeping bag is more comfy and fast to setup when you have something to act as a roof over you.A tent is longer to setup and is basically a tarp to sleep on, but it protects you from the rain and from ground parasites anywhere you put it.So if you have to choose then pick a tent, it saves you tons of time on finding a spot and it's safer.
>>59653166>https://rentry.co/c3w3d5i9>Error 404 not foundGrim.
>>59653434>A tent takes longer to prop up and is more effort to lug aroundjust use the power of science
>>59653565>>59653180New link, hopefully won't die this time. If it 404s by morning, I'm going back to thread dumping. https://rentry.co/tfrchamp
>>59653180>Unprofessional Conduct with an Insectile CoworkerThis story gave me exactly what I needed; or more specifically, the sequel did. Thank you very much!
>>59653617Nice, I hope to see the SELLOUTS review soon. You better not be avoiding it.If you are I'm arresting you for fanfiction crimes.>>59652871No idea why you'd want to write M/M smut, but smut is smut. Sex is emotionally overwhelming so write characters as emotionally overwhelmed, use some descriptions that a receiver has during sex like being too full, write the characters as if they find the male form and dick to be the hottest thing ever, and since you're a man I'll assume you won'r write any of the basic errors of anatomy or sensation a woman might write.I don't really get why you;d want to write something like this, Spicefag I can understand, he and Will are bisexual, but Hyde is the only bisexual character in PoPT.
>>59653631I'm waiting for my Raid: Shadow Legends sponsorship
>>59653622Right, it was the sequel when they switch. Glad I could help, anon.>>59653617Looks like it died again. Odd, rentry used to be the reliable one. Did they implement AI moderation or something?
>>59653695Here's the third link: https://rentry.org/bgfcker
>>59653695Are you not adding an edit code or whatever it is? Rentry deletes things without an edit code, or something like that. Been a while since I used it.
>>59653703Very cool, Reviewanon.
>>59653703lmao
>>59653703It was up for like 15 minutes this time.
>>59653731No I added an edit code, anyways here's a pdf of the same comment: https://files.catbox.moe/64m40r.pdf
>>59653782It was a lot of fun to read through your interpretations and thoughts about the story. I'm glad a lot of the central premise is coming through, that being the themes of communication and understanding. Your reads on the characters are pretty spot on as well.Diego's inciting incident is probably the most contrived part of the story. I didn't do as good a job setting up his background as with Francis, but Eric is getting some spotlight soon and it'll give an opportunity to explore some of their shared background more. Essentially, they were conceived as an Ed, Edd and Eddy duo with a lot of shitty money-making schemes trying to save up enough to move to Hoenn.Plot also starts to kick in again soon and break up Anchor Stitch's heavy slice of life, leading into the next part of the series.>spelling mistakes and word choice errorsEditing is my worst frenemy. I went back and cleaned up the Sebastian scene since you pointed it out.>concerned that there are too many disconnected items of interestMost of your list will be addressed, though a few of them not at all soon. Touching Hoenn at all is a distant glimmer in my eye, there's a lot to get to before I head in their direction. I definitely want to though, being my favorite region.Thanks for reading, and for the great review, anon.
>>59650738Anyone know where I can see the deleted artworks of chocXnife? He made a lot of good art but the reposts suck.
>>59650738Pokémon in a space opera setting, is it doable?
>>59654126Yes, thought canon characters should be dead if you want to fit the timeline, with the sole exception of Cynthia, her sister, her parents and granny since they're celesticals
>>59654126>>59654178Forgot pic, sorry
>>59654178what if it's an AU?
>>59654210I like AUs, now I'm imagining that each planet has a Gym Leader and you havebto travel between them to get all the badges. Erika on a jungle planet, Blaine on a lava world, Misty on a water world. Maybe Janine on an iron astroid and Falker on a gas giant. You'd have to traverse both space and the planets, and each region can be a solar system. HMs are now Hidden Modifications that you install in your ship to allow a pokemon to strap in and 'pilot' it through certain kinds of terrain. You got the Rocket Syndicate, the Skull Pirates, the Macro Cosmos Megacorp. So much potential.
I'm not the only one who thinks that the persisting headcanon that dex entries are written by dumb kids who don't know any better is dumb right? Hopefully the new Pokecology book dispels it for good so I never have to hear it again.I don't know why people are so insistent that this franchise has to be so grounded. So what if Ponyta jumps the height of towers, or if Raichu and Ghastly can level I- I mean Copperajah?
>>59654347>the new Pokecology book dispels it for goodit's mostly Pokédex information from the game, almost no new material
>>59653895Glad I got the characters right. It's always the part I put the most thought into. I wanted to touch on Sunny, Mentoo and Picanta a bit more as well, but the review was already getting out-of-hand lengthwise and I didn't have as clear ideas about what I wanted to talk about with them.>EditingSometimes I wonder if I should offer to pre-read for other anons. Pointing to specific paragraphs in 10k+ word chapters on AO3 is kind of a pain in the ass, so I haven't bothered with specific proofreading feedback yet. Used to do it for some MLP fanfics back in the day though. Easier on a google doc with suggesting.>>59653703>>59653782These weren't me, but thanks for grabbing it and uploading it elsewhere anon. Maybe I actually should've just used pastebin in the end lmao
>>59653014> Nice feather in the cap, Spicefag. I promise I’ll get to read S&F someday T_TDon't feel bad, I've been putting off the same with everyone else's fics. If I found someone else beat me to a plot device or idea I'd want to brain myself with a hammer and reconsider.>>59653055Ditto, numbers going up makes brain happy. I like to check how others are doing periodically too.
>>59654459As SELLOUTS #1 fan I was very excited to see it break the single digits of Kudos.
Are there any (poke)fics with the same feel as SELLOUTS? Shit's good man.
>>59654435I would proofread for others but I get the impression most of the writefags don't really want that.
>>59654508NTA, but I think the only writefag which hasn't thanked me for pointing out proofreading errors is SELLOUTS fag.
>>59654513I didn't? I'm sorry I keep forgetting to do so, then. Thanks for proofreading.
>>59654517That's probably because I antagonize you in them:>The real mystery is who keeps writting this crap and who the hell keeps reading it.But I don't mind, I do it for fun anyways. It's part of my campaign of psychological warfare.
>>59654178There is no canon suggestion that 'celesticals' are immortal. Cogita was a pet/agent of two legendaries and a big thing in her journal pages was the fact she was very alone in her immortal life. Volo was an agent of Giratina. Cynthia's grandparents were given the decrepit elderly models and no-one in game mentioned them being older than humanly possible.
>>59654508I hate seeing typos of mine in old chapters, so I'm always very happy when people point them out.
>>59654546As of ZA it is possible, for all we know Cogita is Cynthia's grandma
>>59654552It's possible but it's still more likely those individuals were blessed rather than hereditarily immortal. Otherwise Cynthia's grandparents would be fresh spry adult models instead of geriatrics.
>>59654508I'm sorry i haven't posted my wip, it's not ready for public proofreading because i keep getting distracted.
>>59654559>Otherwise Cynthia's grandparents would be fresh spry adult models instead of geriatrics....are you fucking serious? The models were before all this bullshit and modern (by GF's standards anyways) graphics
>>59654546There's that joke dialogue of Shauntal (I think) that says nobody knows what is Cynthia's real age
>>59654592Weird aggro but okay I can you've made up your mind and won't accept anything other than your waifus being immortal goddesses. If that was the case you should have just said so.
>>59654459>numbersOh, I've been measuring actual dicks.
>>59654520>i'll read and comment on anon's fanfic, that'll fuck him up
>>59654435>>59654508>>59654513When I'm reading and commenting on threadfics, I try to track and quote typos and proofreading in a notepad along with my comment and paste it in. I try to do this every chapter I read, unless I'm too tired.
>>59654240Would Champions have the power to raze entire planets and thus keep solar systems in line?
>>59654640Seeing excerpts of my fic posted in thread is a horrific jumpscare. Last thread was nightmarish, even if some of those posts were entirely correct about the fic.
>>59654669If it's an aura cultivation AU why the fuck not? That's how things work in Star Rail iirc
>>59654701And, you know, Star Wars with the Force
>>59654643If that's you Keith, thanks, I finally got around to fixing the PoV in chapter 4 as well. Although doing that made me face the fact I should probably be less focused on editing, so unless a PoV issue is really glaring I'll keep my edits of Mahogany reactive to comments and line-based for now.Thanks again for pointing out how confusing the PoV was again.Maybe I wouldn't be thinking this if I didn't swamp myself with even more work! But I love writing too much not to write even more.>>59654640>>59654687See, it's psychological warfare.
>>59654701Do you see super-aura cultivators as drawing power from Legendaries the way Emanators do from Aeons? Or perhaps a level beyond that, and from the personifications of types themselves?
any fics where MC sucks at pokemon battles?
>>59654716Arc-Suits are a thing so...
>>59654706>I'll keep my edits of Mahogany reactive to comments and line-based for nowIf I remember, I'll quote the lines where it feels like a perspective break would help. Easy enough to drop a line break when you don't have to comb for it yourself.
>>59654716>drawing power from LegendariesThat's a warlock, not a cultivator.
>>59654643I was doing this for Pooptown but then I think he complained about people pointing out typos so I silently deleted the file lol.
>>59654240Pokemon Rogue Trader sounds comfy as fuck.
>>59654716>>59654746What a foolish junior
>>59654744That'd be appreciated Keith, thanks again. I also made a smaller change to the narration to clear up a small continuity error, it's just a clarification that Rhys just assumes Clair has more friends then him. When in reality her friend count is 1, consisting of Rhys himself, family members don't count. Which is why she's kind of a weirdo who can be out of touch with normality. >>59654797I-I kneel Cultivator-sama.
>>59654797Wise master, is it true that it is essential for a Cultivator and their Spirit Beast to constantly engage in sweaty, missionary style dual cultivation in order to harmonize their daos? Or is my devious Spirit Beast attempting to deceive me?
>>59650738I miss you, I miss youI need you, I need youSexy, sexy...
>>59654854It's a lie, dual cultivation was never about sex
>>59654886Unfortunately individuals of the Yin Dao are irrational and moody so the only way to pacify them is to fill them with Yang energy and impregnate them
>>59654639See, if I was of average height or shorter it'd look way bigger. It's an optical illusion I swear.
>>59654721PokeNormal hasn't had any traditional pokemon battles specifically because the two MCs suck at battling. But the things they are contending with don't work by regular pokemon battle rules so they have to use other means of overcoming them. Also by getting carried by better trainers when a fight is inevitable.
>>59654778I have only played the table top but cruising around the universe and acquiring assets is a pretty comfy concept.
>Can actually leave the store before noon tomorrowFINALLY A DAY TO READ AND CATCH UP and maybe even writeI haven't even had time to check in on the thread in days, looks like I've missed a lot of fun discourse. RIP.>>59650053>>59650055Thanks so much for the drawings CCanon, Kuzey's angy little expression is adorable and fits him perfectly. He's so done with all the weirdos. The other anon is correct that he's got pink/magenta eyes, same as his aunt's, if it helps you to picture him. I also imagine him with wild, bouncy and textured hair. My art skill is in the negatives but I made a shitty paint doodle of him once.
>>59654888I have yet to meet any of yin or yang who has ever been rational. Indeed, both need to be impregnated.
>>59654942>ShittyBetter than anything I could make.
>>59654942Why does he look white?
>>59655075Because I drew him in black and white minus the eyes and wasn't sure how dark to make his skin in greyscale. I'd say he's probably still on the light-skinned side but not drastically.
>>59655092Not dark enough.
>>59655092I just realized what this art style reminded me of. Caliborn from homestuck. He's kind of a shitty artist and loves anime, eventually devloping a style that involves only right angels, also claymation.Also he's the boos of Betty Crocker aka fish hitler.
>>59655126God damn, Lord English might be the worst slander I've ever received
>>59655127I said Caliborn, not Lord English. I'm not that cruel. He's significantly more fun and interesting in the Caliborn phase of his character, Lord English is just kind of there.
>>59654640You clearly haven’t had peope who only hate in your comments.
>>59655332NTA, but I know it still hurts, no matter what. Your brain is programmed to make you react as if you're under attack, and it's really nasty for someone to come along and trash the fic you've poured your heart and many hours of struggling over sentences into. With that being said, you've spent a lot of time on 4chan, no? Treat random commenters the same way you would somebody on 4chan - here, being told to kill yourself is like being greeted warmly on the streets by a friendly stranger.
>>59655353I've been here so long that it feels disingenuous whenever someone gives praise without even an ounce of criticism or hate. Like why the fuck are you being so nice? You're not my coworker. Take the mask off and call my shit ass.
>>59655353Randos talking shit are whatever. You can tell if they haven’t read anything (which is a majority of hater comments). The ones who’ve been around for a long time and say nothing but aggro shit are different because they can actually cite shit to hate on and know how to make it much more personal.
It's funny. It's October and the part of this novel I'm editing tonight is very season appropriate.Feels good to re-read something I wrote months ago and not feel like I need to change anything major (outside of planned changes).
>>59654942Rooting for you IMOanon!
What kind of FTL drive would the pokemon universe use? Ultra Space warp drives with Gellar Repel fields to stop Ultra Beasts from turning your spacecraft into a cheese grater?
You're already writing the Halloween special chapter for your fic, right writefags?

>>59654372I am aware of that, but the book explicitly states that Dex Entries are written by scientists and occur through direct research e.g. we see Pokemon of specified temperatures being directly measured as such.
Should you reply to comments that ask about future events in the fic?
>>59655785Yes tell them no spoilers or give thrm fake spoilers as a joke.
And that's all the time I have for editing this week.180 pages proof read out of... 437.
>>59655775true
>>59655785ask them for money first
>>59655785It really depends on what’s being asked. If someone asks “”will X character appear” or “will we see X again” I’m usually happy to answer as long as it’s not supposed to be a big surprise, I’ll even say what arc that’ll happen in. Anything tied to events I intend to be surprises I’ll just say yes/no and really nothing else. I had so many people asking if Emmet and Ingo were going to reunite onscreen I eventually caved and said it would happen, but I didn’t say when in the story as it’s intended to be a pretty big dramatic moment in the narrative. I’ve been getting a few peeps asking about where I’m going with my MC’s Mega and that one’s a surprise, so I just give vague hints and little else.

That's a nice farming degree, too bad a retired trainer's Arboliva can do the work of 20 of you just by standing in the open field.The only studies actually worth anything are in the mad scientist field.

Okay so everytime I'm comically tired of just absurd bs happening I think of Plumeria (PoPT) cuz she also just deals with genuine nonsense. This time no customer shit, but suddenly I get hit with 8 days of work in a row and all but two days are 11 hours assuming things don't go wrong, which I just know they will. (The other 2 days are 8 hours, so a lil better.)
Anyways, I drew Emma and Mimi too.

>>59659022I think everyone knows this was from a movie at this point, which in turn raises more questions.
>>59659022A gifted psychic, likely on the caliber of Sabrina, delved too deep into powers meant to be wielded by Pokemon alone. He figured out how to shrink himself, and was immediately turned into a Pokémon by Arceus, who has forever restricted such knowledge from the hands of humanity

>>59660292Swimmers have the most balls out of any other trainer class because the ocean is a cluster fuck of high-level predators constantly killing each other and battling for supremacy
>>59660314nah, they're all friends in the Pokemon world
I hate the meat dilemma. Eating pokemon meat is bad because sapient and they're our friends, but having real animals is also weird.There's no winning.
>>59660334There are Pokémon more sapient than others
>>59660334It's only a dilemma if you're a retard.Out of sight, out of mind. If you don't bring it up nor make a big deal out of it then it's no issue.
>>59660343It mostly upsets my worldbuilding autism to leave something this big unanswered, even if it's out of sight out of mind for the reader.I guess I'll just make it secretly canon that superpowered dinosaurs are real and they're regularly hunted in the deep wilderness for meat. It might even make Shudo's ghost happy.
>>59660354See, now that's a cool answer.Don't forget the drugs and alcohol and crossdressing while doing that. If you wanna make Shudo proud go all in.
>>59660363Oh don't worry, Kanto's mere existence already ticks all those boxes.
>>59660334It'd be funny if Ash and friends traveled to a foreign region where Pikachu is butchered on the street and served as meat and the locals look totally confused as Ash has a meltdown because to them Pikachu meat is just like cow meat, has always been just likecow meat, and it's silly to keep cattle as a pet.
>>59660334In Pokopia at least, you use beans to make hamburgers
>>59660334All meat is secretly Slowpoke tails
>>59660413Slowpoke isn't the only pokemon that can Regenerate, either with a move or with an ability. It's just the only one that doesn't feel pain. I imagine there's lots of unsanctioned black markets where other types of Pokemon are chained in dark rooms as constantly refilling sources of meat, amputated daily and made to heal themselves for when they're needed again. It wouldn't necessarily be cruel, if that's the only life you ever let a Pokémon know. You stuff an Audino or an Alommomola in a dark room from birth and never let them see the sunlight, and they'll simply accept that being delimbed is all there is to life. You can make the Audino pull double duty as a convenient flashlight when it's not in use or when it's healing from its wounds, as a little boost to your business.
>>59660334My answer is that people eat pokemon and pokemon eat people. Pokechow is made, at least in part, of human cadavers, while pokemon meat is donated, processed and sold at markets as normal. Supply of both is now also supplemented by cloned meat.Culturally, both people and pokemon see it as the circle of life. To nourish your trainer is seen as an act of love by some and vice versa, though it's heavily dependent on the place. Most don't really think about it, in the same way most don't think about their organs being harvested post-death in opt-out societies in real life. By the same token, most don't want to eat a pokemon (or human) they knew, and so let society process that so they don't have to think about it. In very rare cases people and pokemon opt out of the system entirely, but for most it's mundane.It's immoral to waste perfectly good resources.That's my answer.
>>59660334>having real animals is also weird.To me it's only odd to have wild animals. Cattle and pets are protected by humans and their pokemon
>>59660272What's about a Project Moon?
>>59660334In Champions, this is solved in modern times with cloned meat, and upper case B Berries being a miracle food. It was a bit rougher, before cloning tech came around.
>>59660587I also saw that answer in Tanya the Chansey. But I think it's a bid meat-centric, Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto are based on Japan where Buddhism is a not unimportant cultural force. Like eating meat, even cloned meat, would be novel since their relgion heavily promotes a non-meat, non-pokemon diet.That and I never really buy universal-type answers like that. I imagine it's like cannibalism, or eating monkeys, cats, and dogs. It depends on where you live.
>>59660354>secretly canon that superpowered dinosaurs are realLike Dragon Ball?
>>59660334>Eating sapient creatures is badSays who?
>>59660637Would YOU like to be eaten by someone else? Exactly.
>>59660637optimus prime
>>59660653I'm not the one who gets caught inside a ball like a chump
>>59660661...yet
>>59660668How can Pokémon watch movies like these and not get radicalized?
>>59660678>>59660668BTW this and CHAMPIONS gave me a brainblast. This is 100% how SELLOUTS is going to end, the metaphorical camera will pan back revealing a TV playing a recording of Andrew's trial being watched by pokemon.
>>59660678>my trainer is different, he loves mePokemon are gullible
>>59660678Pokemon aren't allowed in movie theaters
>>59660678Whenever one of them starts thinking about silly notions like "freedom" or making a Pokemon-only nation Arceus beams horrific, mind-altering nightmares directly into their subconscious to pacify them.
>>59660605The actual answer is more complex, and regions have their own approaches. Kanto is actually the center of the cloned meat industry, Johto was culturally resistant at first, but the luxury and trappings of modernizatiom have been eating awya at traditional values.Hoenn, Unova, Paldea and Kalos do a lot of meat business with Kanto.Galar has a strong farmer lobby that keeps meat farms around.Orre doesn't like doing business with the Rocket Corporation, they have their own synthmeat production but it’s less advanced and more expensive.Sinnoh is heavily spiritual, so they prefer othwr meat alternatives.And Alola differs by island culture.
>>59660587What about Pokemon that feed off emotions and humans that can emulate their abilities, like psychics and mediums? Do they emulate beings with nervous systems to provide the right kind of agony/negative/emotions/dreams that seasons the meat in just the right way?
>>59660272This is why I can’t do multiple projects at once.
>>59660762The technology definitely exists. TR makes their clones braindead as an ethical standard, mostly because more people are happy to buy it that way and it lead to more global adoption. But if you're rich enough you could get them to make a torment nexus or brain in a jar for your Ghost or Psychic to feed on. On the hush hush side.Most trainers or owners of these Pokemon feed them personally. Berries are compatible with all Pokemon and can supplement the diet if the mental strain becomes too much and they need a rest. Forcing yourself into an emotional rollercoaster feed your spook can be exhausting.Shuppet in particular are sometimes used as therapy Pokemon, in a symbiotic relationship. Bring in the anxious and negative people to give them a meal, and nobody needs to be forced into despair. Win win.
>>59660958Making full bodies clones is fucked up I assumed they were just cloning desired parts using Dittos who can regenerate quickly.
>>59660995What happens to a Ditto's mind when it copies something complex like a person or a psychic type and then it has to detransf9rm and go back to being goo? Can it feel itself getting dumber?
>>59660995It is absolutely fucked up. They have assembly lines where full braindead clones come out and are disassembled for parts live like those crab meat factories. Including human clones for organ harvesting. The Orre method of synthmeat is more like the early lab grown meat we see pop up sometimes, or building synthetic organs from scratch.
>>59660958Paying top dollar for locks of hair/DNA of attractive female trainers to make brain dead clones of them to fuck at my leisure...>b-but you can just have a Ditto transform int—It's NOT the same.
>>59660587>>59660995I don't wanna be that guy, but that happens in a Rick and Morty episode
>>59661119The entire plot of SELLOUTS could happen in a Rick and Morty episode and I wouldn't doubt it.
Speaking of SELLOUTS, I noticed on the number of chapters on its Ao3 heading is 23. Was that just a placeholder or is it exactly 23 chapters that are going to be written?
>>59661314It used to be 22 so I think it's more like a conservative projection of what SELLOUTSMAN will write.
Started work on a race mod for terraria, with a special pokemon in mind if you can guess it, you get a cookie.
>>59660538Nothing, what's a Project Moon with you?
>>59661370The pre evolution of that fuckass water/poison type that was meta.

>watching some pokemon loretuber's 3 hour video about the movies for niche stuff I can use in my writing>they reference something that just straight up didn't exist in the original material, specifically the pokemon 2000 movie's english dub fudging the prophecy so it's literally about Ashis there any loretuber who doesn't confidently spout misinformation
>>59660334Gen 9 showed that there are tons of safely harvestable products pokemon produce and so I just roll with the concept of pokemon produce a lot more renewable edible substances than animals logically could. Slowbro tails are common, but theoretically you could harvest a lot of tails from other pokemon that could grow back. Most people just don't think about it because its never clearly stated, but at least Mega Sceptile has a removable tail and probably plenty of other replite pokemon do too. But slowpoke isn't overtly a reptile, so it sets a precedent that non-reptile tails can grow back.
>>59660653Maybe.
