As bobandbill said, you simply can't please everyone. Therefore, you should write what you want to write about, because chances are there's thousands of people out there who have similar interests than you, and when you write what you want to write about, you get a sense of enthusiasm and depth...

Okay, so, I was reading this thread, and a potential solution to the "why kidnap a nine-year-old when there's an expert readily available" dilemma suddenly spawned in my head. So, right now, you have a 9-year-old, unrelated girl hanging out at the teacher's house while she's gone, which does...

Okay. Seriously, what? Why is this fic in a picture? And a .JPEG, of all formats? It takes forever to load a picture that size on most connections - mine is fast and it was still hesitant to do it - and it causes all kinds of inconvenience. How are people going to review when they can't quote...

There are some problems I can see with this draft so far. 1) Asylums like that would generally be owned by the state, unless this story happens in a historical era. Moreover, the director of the asylum wouldn't likely be that much in touch with the patients, as their job is mainly to manage the...

I still think adding one type doesn't really effect the metagame that much. It doesn't alter the mechanics, it doesn't make anything more interesting. All it does is to expand on an already existing system and force people to adapt to a new kind of strategy in certain cases. The fun and interest...

First of all, way to quote my entire post under someone else's name. =/ Edit: Oh, sorry, you fixed that now. Thanks. :3 Like I just said, it's not that big of a change. It really changes nothing in a very drastic or interesting way. Now, the physical-special split actually affects things and...

I think what most people are trying to get at when they say "no thanks" to a light type or any other new type is this: 1) While the idea might be interesting, it's a bit far-fetched to add such a drastic change when the canon is already so established. Yes, you can change stuff and add stuff at...

Now let's see. My favourite types are Electric, Ghost, and Ice. There are 28 Electric-types, 22 Ice-types, and a whopping 18 Ghost-types altogether. There are 25 Dark-types, 19 Dragon-types, 37 Rock-types, 26 Steel-types... Nope, Fire isn't even close to being as neglected as you make it out to...

I don't think the length of the thread is the issue. I mean, back when I came here as a newbie, it wasn't that much shorter, and that holds true for many of you. Why did you originally post in it and become a part of the community? It never was entirely about writing, and it hasn't been a short...

First of all, sci-fi implies that it has actual fictional technology in it. Yes, Pokémon does have fictional technology in it, but that's how it's been from the beginning. You know, Poké balls, the devices Bill has been building since first Gen, being able to store Pokémon on computers, that...

All game franchises evolve. It's happened to Mario - just compare the first game to Super Mario Galaxy and you might not even realise it's the same franchise anymore. It's happened to Zelda - it even evolved into two distinct timelines that have a very different style (just compare Spirit Tracks...

Okay. First of all, with the character sign-up and all, you have indeed crossed the line. This is no longer fanfiction, this is an RP, and therefore, it's in the wrong section. If you really want to do it like this, go check the RP section for advice, work on your idea, and then post it as a...

I would like to point you to this. I would also like you to note the fact it died not long after it was started. I would also like to point out that there is a rule in this section about quality and general readability, which I think the prologue as it is doesn't really meet. You should have a...

Well, what exactly is wrong with Ash? Is he just "insane" in a very broad sense, or have you actually picked out a mental illness or syndrome and keeping within the range of its symptoms? If it's the latter - like I strongly advice it should be - you could try to make up something with the...

I disagree with the "leading nowhere"-part. If it makes you chase it, if it's entirely unnecessary and distracting, then it's a plot bunny. I think it's almost perfectly interchangeable with "plot idea", the only difference being that a plot bunny implies a much shinier, more distracting idea...
