I've never read a post-apocalyptic fairytale. I'm writing a post-apocalyptic story, but I've never seen one that is also a fairytale. XD;

Like Terry Brook's Shannara series.
I mean "fairytale" not as in "Once upon a time there lived a..." but in a "magic and elves" sense.
A note. If you're going to use canon teams, make sure you know the canon down cold and make sure that the timeframe fits the canon you're using. Honestly, using Team Aqua and Magma past 3rd Gen is going to be difficult seeing as they saw the errors of their ways after the chaos of the orbs. In Gen 4, at Stark Mountain, Team Galactic is disbanded so it can't just reappear. If you want to pull something out of your backside, at least follow the example of Gen 2 from Gen 1 and make the bad guys a group of half baked puppies who want to gain master's attention. If you break canon by saying "TEAM MAGMA IS UP TO NO GOOD AGAIN >8C" when your story takes place after the events in generation 3, you're not doing yourself any favors.
According to the Canon, whatever brand you prefer, there is no way in hell these teams would ever fuse. Ever. Not in a million years. I know, you want to use bits and pieces from all of them, but sorry, you just can't. >:C Their leadership teams, styles of evil baddary and over all goals in their individual quests on world domination do not coincide and cannot coincide. Sorry, it just isn't supossed to happen. Ever.
I'm writing one. Celtic mythology as a base, set during WWI and the faeries' personal apocalypse.Now, does anyone else here enjoy post-apocalyptic fairytales?
XD; but thanks guys for being so nice to me and making me come out of my RPing shell and muck around with FF again, even if you've never spoken to me, you've made an impact on mwe~ :3
>:C How darest thou? All you're doing here is exactly what Jax has been chewing you out over for about a page. If you've only read one Star Wars work, you have an excuse, but it sounds like you're blanket-dissing without evidence again.I've read one good Star Wars work, and it was a comic.
@Mika: I think it still is possible to go beyond game canon with the teams if you do it plausibly. It probably couldn't be done with the same leaders, but a group of hardliners from within the Team could still re-emerge and form a new Team Magma or Team Aqua, for example. But I agree in general. :>
I said I read one good Star Wars work, not one work entirely. (And Valentine hasn't really been eating me out on anything except sounding like an ass, which, admittedly I am) I'm sure there's more out there, but lets face it: Kevin J. Anderson wrote books under the Star Wars name. The man is a hack that has never offered anything to the literary community other than someone to make fun of.>:C How darest thou?

The comic I'm talking about is the Dark Empire series. Movies 7-9, if they had been filmed, as stated by George Lucas himself. They're badass.
I'm confused why you're quoting me, BUT, George Lucas went on a date with my dad's secretary once. (Or my dad went on a date with GL's secretary, can't recall)Any comic Post-Thrawn is awesome. As is Thrawn.
Yes, the Dark Horse Clone Wars comics are pwnsome.
And my friend's dad draws torture scenes for one of the newer series! <3

Please understand that I'm not saying the movies can't be enjoyed. On the contrary, I'm a second generation Star Wars fan due to my father and love the original trilogy. But do I consider them art? Definitely not.

Kevin J. Anderson is a hack. He's an absolute joke. His works in the Star Wars EU were so horrid that his successor spent the first entire half of his book retconning what he'd written. Not to mention KJA's "Sun Crusher".Whut? Whut? Whut?
Isaac Asimov > Orson Scott Card ≥ Karen Traviss > Michael A. Stackpole > Kevin J. Anderson > George Lucas > ... ? Not sure.
But Kevin J. Anderson has written some good books.
You could stop bashing Sci-Fi authors...
I'm confused why you're quoting me, BUT, George Lucas went on a date with my dad's secretary once. (Or my dad went on a date with GL's secretary, can't recall) I'm pretty sure that Dark Empire is Post-Thrawn...
But that would be no fun. ;)
I'm not saying you're blanket-dissing Star Wars, period, but the books. You say, then, that you have read more than one. Which authors did you read? Admittedly, some are crap, but there are really good Star Wars books out there. I haven't read a majority of them, so all I'll say is that I've liked most of the ones I have read. Have you read any by Karen Traviss, Drew Karpyshyn?I said I read one good Star Wars work, not one work entirely.

I'm not saying the books are totally bad either, but I've been forced to pass most of them up because they simply didn't interest me. The whole Star Wars concept bores me, though the writing on a few of the writers is probably good. I don't know.I'm not saying you're blanket-dissing Star Wars, period, but the books.

Ever read the Saga of Seven Suns?
