Blue Screen of Death August 5th, 2008 4:13 PM

What genre would you like to see more of?
 
There have been a lot of fics lately that would be classified under journey-fics, I think. I personally believe that a little horror would be nice around here. Maybe pokemon could mutate somehow, that would be good.

Saltare. August 5th, 2008 4:14 PM

Maybe a little horror. A lot of fics these days have romance type of feeling

Blue Angel August 5th, 2008 4:19 PM

What's wrong with romance?
xD

I am not much for horror - but that's just my opinion.
Of course, if you haven't already, and you want horror, you could always read "Maggots of Society" by Burnt Flower.
That's the only horror one I know of though.

Yeah, there are quite a few journey fics.

Saltare. August 5th, 2008 4:41 PM

nothing is wrong with romance! girls love rmance(like me! :)

Blue Angel August 5th, 2008 4:47 PM

I know I see a lot of Romance, but what about a more passionate version(if you get what I mean). You are twelve so I kind of have to doubt it... Anyway, I see very few of those.

I was gonna say something else, but now I can't remember...

Oh well... ^ ^

Saltare. August 5th, 2008 4:50 PM

lol short term memory loss but I know what ya mean

Blue Angel August 5th, 2008 4:52 PM

Wow, more younger kids understand "things."

Have you found any fics like that here?

Saltare. August 5th, 2008 4:53 PM

nope not really. Event_Collectorx's was descriptive but no nothing like that

Blue Angel August 5th, 2008 5:09 PM

There is a chance that he copied Baa Baa, who I still think is a better version of it.

The most "sensual" I have seen of all here was Jax Malcom's "Selling Everything."
There isn't any "passion" shown in between people, but it still had a strange mastered sensuality to it.

Saltare. August 6th, 2008 6:15 AM

I agree. But some people copy others because they like the thing that they did. For instance, maybe Event_Collectorx copied Baa Baa was because he liked her story or he was copying it for his own pleasure

Way to be off topic.

That being said, I would like to see more horror type fics. Burnt Flower's fic got me interested in that kind of writing, and I would be interested if another horror story popped up.

bobandbill August 6th, 2008 11:28 PM

Horror? If you look around, you will find, that's for sure. Burnt Flower is an obvious choice though. Also the author Kiyohime comes to mind. :)

Me, I much prefer the comedy stories, as well as the part-parody as well. Although I've done one tragedy before, and a dark-ish non-Pokemon (or fanfiction of any kind for that matter) story as well.

txteclipse August 7th, 2008 12:00 AM

Sci-fi has been neglected badly. I aim to change that, along with two other people. Unfortunately, none of us have updated our sci-fi fics in a goodly amount of time...

I also haven't seen a pokemon western. Ever. That could be interesting.

that would be scary...

I would like to see more fics that have a pokemon's POV. Not OT, a journey; maybe, perhaps a horror pokemon POV, ooh, what about a comedy pokemon POV

I have to agree. A pokemon western sounds too strange. All the people AND Pokemon parading around in cowboy hats and vests or dresses. The whole concept seems strange.

If someone could manage to pull that off without being too tacky, then great :)

EDIT: Although, If someone could make it into a Western Comedy - that wouldn't be so bad.


How would you go about making this Horror Pokemon POV or Comedy Pokemon POV?
What would the storyline be without a Journey?

Although I think making a Romance Pokemon POV is going a little overboard.
People like to read about the Romance of People, not Pokemon. Mainly because some angles of the Romance of People can't be changed into the angles of Pokemon Romance - it would just be too awkward.

Again, Not discouraging anyone who wants to try - if you can pull it off - that is a feat in itself.

I was thinking of making my next fic a pokemon POV, uh.. i guess it could be like the life of a pokemon that was captured and the trainer never left home, perhaps the pokemon has a rude since of humor, and trouble just seems to follow the trainer, but then you would get a never ending story(or until one of them dies of old age.), and i don't want.

I have the general idea, i was wanting to title my next fic "Saving Grace", and with this as a challenge, i think it will be have a pokemon POV, although it may turn out to be more of a journey fic, but i promise that gym badges will not be the main motivation behind the journey.

A challenge is a good way to test your writing skills; see if you can accomplish it.
You seem to have that basic idea down.
Good Luck ^ ^

thanks, but i want to get my curernt done so it doesnt get put on the side burner, speaking of i need to get busy on said fic

so as this post is completely not off topic: i would like to see some more real world crossover fics

EmeraldSky August 9th, 2008 8:15 AM

What about fantasy, with mages, warriors, and Pokemon together? Or Pokemon in the typical fantasy classes doing a dungeon exploration?

Pokemon is a Fantasy!! txteclipse's "Eon Chronicles" has Pokemon and humans fighting together, if that is what your looking for.

I had an idea about that once(the mages, warriors, Pokemon thing). Of course I need to finish my story first because the characters in it are the characters for the type of fantasy story you want.

Thanks for making me remember that - I had all but forgotten it.

As kcander said, my "Eon Chronicles" is basically a fantasy novel set in the pokemon universe, but I haven't seen your second idea implemented yet. You're thinking almost a Final Fantasy kind of deal, right? Where each pokemon is a different class (warrior, dragoon, arcanist, etc.) and they go off adventuring? I'd actually love to see that, but my attentions are currently divided by too many things to write it myself.

EmeraldSky August 9th, 2008 2:14 PM

I just may have to do the second idea for a fantasy writing contest (and post the entry here too...)

Would such an idea also work as an RP?

I consider "romance" to be more passionately written than the standard classification of "romance". I'd like to see more passion, as romance is a strong word and doesn't really correspond with all the fluff stories I have seen.

Exactly. That's what I'd like to see.

I'd also love to see more parodies. We need a good laugh after reading all these horror stories you people crave.

Saffire Persian August 9th, 2008 3:17 PM

Genres I'd like to see more of? I, admittedly, wouldn't mind seeing a more Fantasy-ish side of pokémon every now and then. And by that I mean High Fantasy. A Western would be quite amusing. Might have to try that out sometime, as it's my goal to write at least one story in every genre.
