Cool. Could you please judge another story or two if it is not too much trouble? We seem to be running low on available judges

Hey, are you tagged in the Christmas Judging thread? It isn't showing that you are even though I have put the mention in :S

Looks solid enough at a quick glance. Seeing as VMs are public, we're probably going to have to go ahead with that now anyway.

Hi, LightningTopaz. I believe I've found a story you could use for Live on the Fireside. While it's originally a small story from World of Warcraft, I still believe you could make use of it. It's called "The Tiller and the Monk" and the link for the story is below.

Sounds good. Since you're in charge of the FOTM I'm sure M-Dub will be happy with your choice too.

Oh, good.



Thanks for your help.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, in my opinion, the story advertising part of the rules was poorly defined to me. It wasn't specific on the entire definition of story advertising, so I thought that linking stories to another site in any way (whether it be directly or indirectly) would result in an infraction.

Plus, one of the mods here (I won't say who) doesn't like me too well, and probably is looking for a way to ban me. If you want to know who that is, ask me via PM (I don't want to risk getting infracted).

Correct that is.

Hey, I have a question;

Is it against the rules to link a story with previous ones in order to offer context to the current story?

Hello

Just a mention is fine.

Yes please

That would be awesome if you took Lesson 2. I think Lesson 1 will be Description/World Building... So we can discuss why Lesson 2 should be. I think the generator thing should be a bit later and have more basic topics for the first few lessons.

Hikari would be perfect...if it wasn't for Dawn and her Japanese name. :/ But I do like the Japanese words idea - fits my theme perfectly, actually. I was on the fence about Order. It's one of the few things that fits and fits them quite well, but isn't as unassuming as I'd like.

I was actually thinking something more along the lines of The ______ of _______. Team whatever's been done to death, anyway

I need a name for a group/sect that protects Pokemon, their habitats, and urges people to follow their caring ways towards the creatures - going above and beyond the norm for most people. Something that has sort of a religious feel to it. Any ideas?

Mind helping me with a bit of namestorming?

Yeah I think that'd be cool. I'm gonba be leading the Writing Academy soon...would u have time to interview the winner?

Ah, nice, thanks for telling me. Also, remember the discussion of "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" Pokémonization? I remember 2 subplots now, though they're a bit vague.

Nils gets kidnapped by a bear one day, who takes him to a nearby lumber mill. The bear explains that the humans in the lumber mill destroys the forest and orders Nils to cause mayhem inside the lumber mill, since he's small enough to get in undetected, unlike the bear who would alert the humans at first sight. The mayhem the bear suggest Nils would kill the humans, so he refuses. The bear is not too happy about it, and tries to kill Nils. However, before the deed is done, Nils is "kidnapped" (again) by an eagle and looses consciousness. The next day, however, he finds himself in the middle of the geese, who is laughing (or quaking, whatever you prefer) after seeing him sleeping peacefully after the turmoils.
Later that day, he meets the eagle who rescued him and explains that he (the eagle) was raised by the leader of the geese (who is a female by the way) when he was just a chick. His parents didn't return one day when the they were hunting for prey and he was left alone in the next at the side of a large cliff. By chance, however, the leader of the geese passed by and decided to act as his foster parent out of pity. The goose fed him with fish only, which in turn caused the eagle to only hunt for fishes instead of geese as an adult, which is part of an eagle's natural diet.
One day, when it was time to fly south for the winter for the leader of the geese, it said to the eagle chick that it have to learn to fly and hunt on its own now, since she couldn't take care of it anymore. In response, the chick jumped out of his nest and started to fly halfway down the cliff. Since then, the eagle and the geese has been on friendly terms, and as mentioned, the eagle now only hunts for fishes instead of geese.

Hope you can use this for future stories

Sounds.........interesting
