Funny you should mention a one-shot contest, because I'm writing a story for one on Serebii. The theme is Hoenn, in tribute to the new Hoenn games. I've made a little progress with the next chapter of Roots, but naturally I've been focusing more on the one-shot. (I also thought of something terrific for the Sunyshore chapters, so I've had to change a few things around in the chapter.)
By any chance, would you have the time to take a look at my Hoenn one-shot? It's about 9,500 words (the limit is 10,000), and the deadline is the 15th. I'm completely done with it, but of course I want to edit it a bit.
