Go, solovino, go! Write, write, write! :D
Neat idea, and I hope you address the issue of who Gary/Blue's biological parents are. If Agatha was Oak's one true love, who did he have a kid with??? These are questions that need answers, people.SuperEspeon said:

I don't think I'll have time for even one pass at proofreading but oh well. I've done more with less.
ANSWERS OR RIOT! ^^
But writing comps aren't just there for one 'to compete' in. You can write for fun as well when entering a competition, have it as a challenge (write something within a time limit on a certain theme or prompt being the general sort), or use it as an excuse to get an idea out of your head and into an actual story or try out something different, for example. Not that competitions are for everyone, but I can't agree with the apparent distinction you've made between fun and 'to compete' with writing, as what is fun with writing differs from person to person. You can learn quite a lot from writing in a competition as well - heck, just judging the SWCs we have here always shows me something new and hence teaches me something.
Sometimes when you get snowed under in work for school and decide to write stories instead, you start to get a failing grade in the course and might have to drop it. :P It's worse if you go to school in Pittsburgh and that work you're snowed under in is accompanied by literal snow that your campus is snowed under in because the North is lousy in winter, but I digress.
While I'm not an expert on publication by any stretch of the imagination, it would seem to me that publication is basically competition. You have to write to someone else's standards, in this case the publisher instead of a judge, and the publisher will only publish some of the pieces that are submitted. For that matter, if you're seeking to be published in something like a periodical, you may have to write under time constraints. Just a thought.
Couldn't agree more. I know I've learned plenty for example about setups and payoffs in stories by writing in SWCs and reading judges' feedback.
If it's your story, you can do anything as long as you make it seem reasonable. Maybe the Venusaur is on "drugs" ie vitamins and X Speed etc. Or maybe you mean in using its moves? I could imagine a Venusaur being able to swiftly fire its special attacks, but not to run very fast. At least not compared to an Infernape.
Oh, that goes for every kind of fanfiction with established characters. I'm actually not worried about that; I think I have a pretty decent grasp of how the characters I'm using will behave. Which are mainly the 10th version of the Doctor and also Amy Pond :) Rather, I should maybe rewrite a few parts of the fic if I post it here, to explain things that are taken for granted on that other site, no? In case I want to make it just a little bit more accessible for people who have only heard of Ten or Amy but not actually watched a lot of the show. Maybe.
Nice! I'll try to read and review some of your stuff 8) I should really get better at both reviewing and at writing stuff of my own here, haha. Or balance it with RPing at least 8))
