PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Chliche, okay?

Poll
SBaby, Dec 2006: Cliche, I love that word. It's so universal. It could be used when describing anything. Sometimes instead of calling them cliches, I say, 'The Simpsons Did It'. Anyway, one thing people tend to not realize when they claim that something is...

One-Shot, Yea or Nay?

SBaby, Jan 2007: It's really up to you, but as the old saying goes, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. Don't artificially inflate your Fic if it works better as a one-shot. BUT... Using that one-shot as a single idea for an even larger Fic sometimes works.

What sort of character would you call "Mary-Sue" ?

Enperuto, Aug 2007: Agreed. Most people that write have to have lives to write characters well, eventually they'll become really flat if they have no real life people and events to use. That said, most people also have other commitments. *cough* I just posted it.
