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.

A question on some plot/writing choices.

SkyBlue, Dec 2009: It's a good idea, as long as there isn't too many breaks. But if you want your reader to feel as if he/she is actually interacting with the characters themselves, then try second-person.

Font?

patch., Dec 2009: Arial 10. Anyone who says, 'Times New Roman' should be shot. ;D The only other fonts I would even consider are Helvetica, Calibri and Trebuchet.

Writing Style
