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.

N O P E

Commander Saturn, Apr 2020: I am fine to write within any genre, in regards to fan fiction. As far as role play, I despise anything to do with romance so I will state that bluntly. If my declarations of disinterest revolving a romance plot is ignored and insisted upon with...

Compare and Contrast

Adam Levine, Mar 2020: I have almost complete control over what goes on when I'm writing fiction on my own, so I prefer that. Roleplaying can be hit or miss for me.

Publishing your story

Adam Levine, Mar 2020: I hope I can at least publish my work on Tapas or a similar site for webcomics. I wondered for a bit whether I should consider publishing my stuff as regular, physical comics, but those don't seem like a lucrative market.

I'll have a side of character

Tips for writing
