★☆ The Incredibly Wandering Thread ☆★ [v5.0]

I remember back when I first began fanfiction I was like "I won't write romance" because I thought having romance in everything is overrated. Then when I branched out to other fandoms the majority of my fics has some romance in some way lol.

Oh, those two fics sound like great ideas, very interested in checking those out! And yes on the Hoenn love haha.
 
I think the problem with romance is more with bad writing than with the genre itself. People shoehorn it in or force characters together when it makes no sense for them to be... or just write badly and unbelievably. Basically it just feels cringe usually because people force it instead of letting things develop naturally and that makes it feel unbelievable and awkward.

I do have one I'm about to publish about the young Steven Stone and Wallace's first meeting as kids, and might turn into a series about their times together. Sootopolis Siren Song is the working title.

But really. Sounds like a story I would totes recommend to some acquaintances of mine who really like Hoennspeople too. And Wallace is the kind of character that I feel lacks screentime these days. Full support here!
 
A combination of all of the above for me really. I love to write and always get so many ideas but I've never been a finisher - so for me, I can't justify setting up another fic on here until I (finally) finish The Middle Ground.

As for romance, I've never really made it a major plot point so far when I've written, mostly because I don't think I know how to write it properly, haha.

When it comes to writing and reading, even though I'm a really impatient reader, I love a fic that is fully grounded in the fandom it's set in and does its best to deepen and expand on the already established lore. I find that I'll get inspired by a random pokedex entry or something mysterious from the world - like I've found myself fascinated by the Pokemon world's past and how in Unova and Kalos it mentions past civilisations and kings and the different methods people had to tame pokemon before pokeballs. So my next fic idea is definitely going to be set around some kind of parallel life/dual narrative of a girl/boy who is studying anthropology at a Pokemon world university and someone else from the past who encounters all sorts of problems (kind of assassin's creed-ish) and possibly a Celebi.
 
Super bored at work, Tyler hit the refresh button on the PokeCommunity once again. To his surprise, he noticed that the wandering thread had been moved to the Roleplaying Section. "So much for the mini-TCTI," he grumbled to himself. "I really thought they'd make it to at least 15."
He sighed and picked up his cup of surprisingly too sweet cereal and continued to munch. \\\\\\\\\

Just then, his cat walked began to press down upon his keyboard, " \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\", apparently starved for attention. Apparently, she realized this was futile, and turned away from him and began to stare outside.
 
Rika groans and turns around under the blankets. She could have skipped that last beer. Then she might also have skipped the magnitude of this headache. But apparently, she still hasn't learned.

Or maybe, it was worth it.

Making a mental note to teach Siri how to write texts for her telepathically, Rika fumbles for her phone (head pounding as the bright screen screams into her face) and slides into Tyler's DMs.

"yo"

As KV refreshed the forum, a new thread appears, as if by magic. Six pages of posts, taking part in a game of sorts as the thread winds its way throughout the forum at moderation's discretion. If not for the fact that it was well past midnight, KV might actually read all of the posts within the thread before looking elsewhere for entertainment...
 
Rika drowsily notices a "yo" that didn't come from herself, nor from Tyler. Apparently this is now a group chat. That is ok though, gimmepie might be the biggest supervillain around, but he is ok.

"Sup"
 
Rika chooses to interpret this as Foxrally having hacked gimmepie's account, and proceeds to ban both for good measure.
