    I think I picked it because OMG DRAGONS ARE COOL (they still are btw) and OMG X IS A MYSTERIOUS LETTER. >_>

    Oh, that. Blue and italicised is community supporter (yep, donating), blue and bold is a Moderator, orange is a Super Moderator, green is an Assistant Admin, red is a Staff Admin, purple is a Site Admin (highest rank) and pink is a prank the staff like to pull on random members now and then.

    My friends on Serebii are all, from memory, friends from either here or Bulbagarden that also happen to have accounts on Serebii. XD Yeah, Serebii's not really a community. There seems to be this air of 'do what you like, but for God's sake, if you have FUN I will come over there and TOOT MY AIR HORN.' *toot toot*

    I need to review something of yours, too. I was going to do Fad, but it went into the archive while I was reading it . . . I'll find something. But yes, I seem to have a history of writing one-shots about Cynthia being emo. Oh god, where did I put that old one? good lord there it is >_<

    I think in the distant past Serebii allowed name changes. I don't understand why they took it away though. :/ Dragon user X isn't a bad name but it does kind of lack finesse I guess. I have to ask: what's the reason behind some names being blue (or purple... it's hard to tell with my color blindness D: ) and italicized here? Is it from donating or something?

    Yeah, I'm not sure if it's actually any bigger than places like these but it usually ends up being so many new members padding the threads that no one ever gets to know each other beyond arguing over something stupid. I have one friend in the half year I've been there and I don't even know him. XD

    Sounds interesting. I'll have to review it! Mine was actually about the player character experiencing change after becoming the new Champion, heh (the "cast aside" part being that he/she had left behind their enthusiasm for traveling/battling/whatever once things started to get serious). Craaazy.

    I'm split between forums because . . . well, the full story is ridiculously convoluted, but the gist of it is that I was Dragon user X everywhere until I decided I wanted to change. Here and Bulba allowed name changes, Serebii didn't. *shrug* But yeah, I like Misheard Whisper much better. It's the only one I've never actually wanted to change, and I've had it almost two years. (PC doesn't have name changes anymore, though, so it wouldn't matter if I did.)

    That was my biggest dish with Serebii, actually. It's just so impersonal - or at least, that was my impression of it. I'll still hang out there and post my stuff, but I don't really talk to people or interact with them much. It's kinda cliquey in the fanfiction section, too.

    Yeah, the one shot is about Cynthia after being ousted from her position as Champion. I'll finish and post it sometime soon.

    "Misheard Whisper" has a little more of a ring to it. Why the name split between forums? I hate it when I log in to Serebii on my phone and have to type all the ['s and ]'s. -_-

    It seemed pretty neat, but maybe I'm just used to Serebii's general coldness so the feeling of an actual community caught me off guard. I've heard they have a few random things like this relatively often. I hope it's true. :) Well hopefully you at least got a good idea out of it. Did you have any plans for the one-shot at all?

    Ohhhhh . . . . right. ffff I keep forgetting I'm Dragon user X over there, not Misheard Whisper. I'm automatically logged in to all my forums, so I never have to type it. Stupid Serebii not having a name change function.

    Get-Together this year was a little bit meh. It was better in previous years, and somehow I didn't even get to enter the SWC because I ran out of time. :/

    *makes it SIX*

    I wouldn't know who you were if I didn't see your fics posted on BGMF (which I'm not a member of but I stalk with surprising regularity) since you have a different username here haha.

    Thanks! I really just joined to enter a couple of the get-together things (on the last day, no less) but I'll try to post regularly and maybe put up a few of my one-shots. I still consider Serebii my "main" forum though. ;) Yeah, it does seem a little dead just looking it over.

    Make that six!!! /arrogance

    My godddd you are here as well

    Hi! Saw you in the SWC thread and recognised your username from Serebii, thought I'd stop by to say hi and welcome you to PC! Hope you stick around - the fanfiction section here is severely lacking at this point in time.

    (Lacking what, you may ask? Everything. Competent writers, competent reviewers, thoughtful readers. There's maybe five of each that post with any regularity, and most of them overlap.)
