What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?
I've never really shown difference in climate between any of the regions, mostly since nearly all of my fics take place in Kanto and the ones that don't take place in the real world. Also, none of my active fictions have progressed far enough for the weather to change too much, so who knows how I will mess with the climate? Not even I know yet... I do have ideas though.
I am returning once again (hopefully for good). I will be updating Affliction regularly and reviewing other people's fics every so often. If you would like to request a review, then please send me a PM.

Cold, at least for the time being. I have the typical snowy fall to sunny summer cycle, except in certain areas like deserts and high mountains.

DarkPersian479 is dead. I am the replacement, Elite Overlord LeSabre.

The long story:
Spoiler:
DarkPersian479 is dead. He/She (alternates gender based on mood) was killed while crossing busy Dave Lyle Boulevard in Rock Hill, South Carolina. To everyone's surprise, it was not a Buick that did him/her in, but a 1995 GMC Vandura with an Explorer aftermarket conversion package. A fine vehicle, I may add, with 5.7L V-8, luxury captain's chairs, TV/VCR/DVD package, premium CD sound system, front and rear air conditioning, mood lighting, and wood-enhanced interior decor. It recently sold for $6995 on eBay.

Anyway, I, Elite Overlord LeSabre, am the executor to the deceased's estate, and I have been charged with continuing DP479's legacy on this forum. Unfortunately, I have been embroiled in legal matters where DP's fan fiction was alleged to have been a thinly disguised Ponzi scheme intended to bilk investors out of significant amounts of capital. As the executor, I was facing federal prison time and millions in fines. Only now have all charges been dropped and I have the financial and time resources to begin posting here again. But their case against the deceased DP479 was weak, and it never should have gone to trial. In any event, I shall begin posting here again on DP's behalf, attempting to continue his/her unique posting style.


The short story:
I believe that sufficient time has passed where I can safely post here again. Plus, the current topic is too juicy for me to ignore. However, don't expect further updates to my fic, or any new "serious" fics. But crackfics parodying SNL's old "Celebrity Jeopardy" skits may still be fair game. W00t for low-brow, immature humor XD

Anyway, to answer questions:
Have you ever used a real world product in one of your fics? Ex: Brand of soda or gum.

What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?
Mostly moderate, equal to the climate of Upstate South Carolina. Cool winters, but with very little snow (in fact, no snow at all during the events of my fic), relatively warm summers. As a caveat, mine takes place between October and January except for the final two "timeskip" chapters.

How much do you actually read other people's fanfiction?

A lot, usualy the ones on the first page that have not had many posts, once in a while you find one that is good. Sorry folks, I don't fell like reading thirty pages or more.

. That "beyond eye" meaning that usually runs through Mexicans just came to me.
WTH are you talking about? o.O


What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?

For my fic, I am not going to say that it is in a cretin region, but I will mention some cities form different regions, but warm and wet in summer, COLD and wet in winter.

How much do you actually read other people's fanfiction?
Not much, sadly. I'm pretty much following one or two fics right now, with plans to read a whole bunch of others that I never seem to get around to. (I have been following others, but they've died or I've fallen behind on them.) And a while ago I randomly went and read the entirety of Xanthic Growlithe Contract after seeing it recommended for the umpteenth time when I was in a reading mood.

I wish I did read more, because I'd really like to be able to consider myself generally aware of fanfiction clichés and such not just from reading some parodies and having gotten the basic gist of the plot in some 'famous' fic. :/

Have you ever used a real world product in one of your fics? Ex: Brand of soda or gum.
The Quest for the Legends has Coke and Pepsi. :o This would be because the cultures of the original Pokémon world and our world (the 'animal world') merged (in the reasonably near future of our world) when a portal between them was opened. And things like coke don't just die, so it's still around by the time the fic happens.

What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?
Uh, just pretty comfortably warm in the summer, cold with some snow in the winter. Pokémon training is a summer-based activity (they set off in the spring and the League is in August) so that the kids won't really encounter the bad weather.

Not really. Either I make up a Pokemonised one or just say "soda."

I mostly go by the games. In routes where it's rainy, in the story that route would be rainy. On the other hand, there were places I have the weather be cloudly for some reason. ^^;

How much do you actually read other people's fanfiction?
Seeing as I write a parody based on the common, noobish mistakes of this fandom, suprisingly few. I skip all that seem mediocre and only read the first three chapters of the good ones - or the bad ones, for the matter. I'm not the most patient person, so if the thing doesn't immidiately set my heart into flames, I'm not going to read it. Thus, if someone wants me to read something of theirs, they have to pester me until I feel so guilty I just have to read it.
People should pester me. I love reading.

Have you ever used a real world product in one of your fics? Ex: Brand of soda or gum.
Not once, and never will. My version of Pokémon world is completely separate of the world we live in. No exhange between these worlds shall ever be made. Real world products are a no-no in my fics.

What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?
The climate in Voitto is a very Japanese one. They have mountains that are fully covered my snow during winters, it rains a lot and is very, very hot at summers. So, at the mountains it's almost Finland-ish: warm summers, snowy winters and cool around spring and fall. Near the sea level it's really hot at summers, over 30 degrees Celsius, even hotter if you have bad luck, and the temperature doesn't go below zero even at winters. And oh, the amount of rain!
So, my climate is a mix between Helsinki and Osaka ^-^

What is the most completely random title you have ever given to a fic? For what reason did you title your fic this?
Well, none of my fics have had random titles yet. They all have a meaning... The hardest one to figure out would be Secret People, but that's only because the reason for that title comes in so late in the story. I have, however, written an essay with this title:

My relationship to the usage of jet engines in fictional literature

The title was, of course, in Finnish, but I tried to translate it as well as I could. That was the first essay I wrote in high school. In it, I didn't tell about my relationship to the usage of jet engines in fictional literature, I told about my attitudes towards writing and high school in general. The title was there because I told about a nightmare I had almost ten years ago. In that nightmare, I went to high school and had to write and essay by that title. Back then, I was terrified, but I thought it might be a good joke to actually write something with the title.
I did.
I got top points.

And now, I shall proceed to taking over the world. *bows*

How much do you actually read other people's fanfiction?
Not as much as I should. Since about six or so months ago, I've been restricting myself to only reading a few selected fics that hold my interest. I don't have the time to wade through the poor to average ones just to find one that is well-written AND holds my interest. You'd be surprised at how few Pokemon fan-fictions feature Buick Centurys or Roadmasters. (Actually, mine only has the former, along with the Electra Estate Wagon)

On that note, I want this car for Christmas. It is so full of win it's almost staggering.

*inserts various types of persuasion for An-chan to read his fic/s* Trust me, you might get a few of those now that you've made the mistake of saying that. :P ;)

Yay, seen of at least half of the tests now. In a week and a half it'll be the Christmas holidays, then I'll defeat any outstanding reviews/betas, and then I shall have time to get on with writing! Hurrah!


How much do you actually read other people's fanfiction?
I read a fair bit, and all over the place. I tend to restrict myself (purposefully or I simply don't have time anyway) from doing so in busy periods (like now with school), but I'll be reading (and maybe reveiwing) more during the oncoming holidays. Hurrah. :)

Have you ever used a real world product in one of your fics? Ex: Brand of soda or gum.
I'm not sure if I have used a real-life product band, although I've had mentions of beer and bacon and the such. Oh, and pastries. Lots of pastries mentioned. :D I do reference the odd non-ediable thing as well, such as songs, and so forth.

What's the climate like in your fanfiction world of Pokemon?
Usually hot and dry - my main fic's based on the region of Orre, which is a pretty barren dry place (leastways for the time period it's in - in XD it gets mildly better). So little rain, hot days, and cold nights for a typical desert climate, I guess. Although, as noted by a recent weather report in my fic, there had been some recent rain.

What is the most completely random title you have ever given to a fic? For what reason did you title your fic this?
Well, I don't have many fics, let along any named oddly. :/ Do have chapter titles though that occassionly are mildly random... like 'Attack of the Interviewers', or my favourite: "Chapter 12: Who needs a chapter title? It's Miror B!" -_-

Oh, the difference between what you think is hot and what WE think is hot. And what you determine as winter temperature and what YOU determine as winter temperature.
Our summers can average at around 35 Celsius, and in areas can reach 40. :P Hot, yeah. xP And our winters normally don't fall past 15. xDDD Whereas "don't even go under zero" is how you describe your place. Okay, end of my difference-in-climates-related ranting thingymabob. :P

I have a climate very similar to yours, An-chan. Your summers are a bit cooler than mine, but you are slightly north of where I am. I think our winter temperatures are fairly even, though, and perhaps our spring/fall temps.

Forgot about this topic. XD

I think the most random title is my old fic, "Simplicity," the sequel to "Take Fifty Five!". The title isn't really realted to what the story was about. XD

"Hey, this word QUEST is cool! :o My fic needs a title other than 'My Pokémon story', so I'll use that. And, hey, the word LEGENDS is awesome as well! And, like, of course my main character is going to go out and find alllll the legendary Pokémon, so it's very fitting!"

Then I ditched my original silly plans of having the main character be a "legendary collector" (whut), making the title completely irrelevant. And then I made another plot revolving around finding legendaries, just to make it relevant again.

What is the most completely random title you have ever given to a fic? For what reason did you title your fic this?
None of my actually posted fics have random titles; however, I did come up with two totally random title ideas for fics that never came to fruition:

Implementations of the Number Field and Quadratic Sieves
Algebraic and Graphical Representations and Properties of the Normal and Binomial Probability Distributions
For the former, don't ask why - it truly is random. As for the latter, it was intended to be a "kid stops legendary Pokemon from wreaking havoc" storyline where the key to victory was the kid's observations, data collection, calculations, and analysis of the probabilities of certain Pokemon attacks striking the intended target. No lie.

Neither fic was suited for posting since vBulletin doesn't have a built-in equation editor, which would have been vital for both fics. Even my main fic was severely hampered at times by my inability to include Greek letters, integral signs, limit notation, and summation symbols.

As of now, it's snowy in most regions, mainly the portion to the west of Mt. Coronet. But over in Sunyshore, it's sunny as ever. Kinda like a rainshadow is to the other side of a mountain.

Uh, first off, I'd like to say I totally didn't ignore your return, DP. XD I'm glad you came back. I mean, ♥ to your quirky use of cars and mathematics. (Oh, super-awesome titles. It's a shame you never got to use those for anything. You still totally should, even if it ends up being completely irrelevant.)

Anyway...

If you could physically harm any of your characters, whom would it be and why? :)
Poor Bill has to suffer through my idea of fangirlism. He's been knocked unconscious with sleeping gas, operated on, clubbed in the head (multiple times), bitten by various creatures, shot at (or just shot), attacked by Pokémon, gotten into multiple accidents due to his own clumsiness, and died (but he got better). Most of that is just in AEM. And that's only by chapter seven.

And then, of course, there's all the people I've killed off in Midsummer Knights for kicks.

Generally, if I like the character, chances are, they're going to get beaten up pretty badly. Because I'm a sadist, I guess. (Although I've mentioned to people that I think some of them are cute when they squirm.)
