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.

Astinus, Jul 2012: Please don't post in threads that are over a month old. Check the date of the last post in the thread to see how old it is. Since this thread didn't see much discussion in the first place, and it's two months old, it's closed.

revenge fics

bobandbill, May 2012: As, tbh, the thread is asking for advice on your story idea rather than discussing revenge fics in general, I'll merge this with the Plot Bunny thread sticky. Can't say I have anything to add that I didn't see mentioned in the sppf thread either.

I'm a prospective writer who needs help/advice

Astinus, Jul 2012: With writing as compared to RPing, you have much more control over everything. All the characters are ones that you "play", and all the plot lines are ones that you come up with. Like icomeanon said, you have to keep all these connections in mind. ...
