Funny recent story about this, actually. Was writing a chapter recently, and I decided to give a villain a Liepard because of the specific needs of the scene. Then I decided I wanted to know a little bit more about the villains so I wrote a 1-page interlude from the Liepard's POV, and then...

It gives me something to do in the postgame, and more reason and motivation to keep raising more Pokemon. I enjoy planning and raising semi-optimised Pokemon, thinking about their movesets, and finally putting them into action, but if there's nowhere else for them to fight than the Battle...

I have said it before, I shall say it again, Ferdinand is a treasure. Don't have time to leave a proper review right now, unfortunately, but I wanted to let you know this story is pretty much the first thing I saw yesterday morning, and it was a wonderfully wholesome start to the day. Enjoyed...

The prospect of finishing soon sound exciting. I believe in you, you can do it! For myself, I'm doing... reasonably well? Questionably. Well, I just decided a couple of days ago the best thing to do was to restart my outline from the beginning, since I now have a much clearer idea of where it...

Alrighty, here's some approximation of a review! First and most importantly, Ferdinand is precious and must be protected at all costs. I really enjoyed his childlike perspective on everything, being aware of what's going on in simple terms, but not really understanding the way an adult would...

I remember ages ago reading a very good post entitled 'Why spell lists aren't magical', or something like that. Essentially, it was suggesting that having long lists of very specific spells - "this is a firebolt, this is a fireball, and this is a firestorm", or something like that - doesn't feel...

Depends on why you're interested in the challenge in the first place. If it's just to generate material for the story, then yeah, you're probably better off just going straight to planning a story. A challenge run doesn't necessarily generate a great plot structure or pacing, since highly...

Can't speak for BackSet, obviously, but for me at least it's mostly a matter of having more ideas than I have the time or motivation to work on, or that are just beyond my ability to write well. Sometimes an idea that sounds like a lot of fun doesn't work out when one tries to actually put it on...

It's possible to do something like that, though something I didn't properly discuss in my first reply (which was not very well-written, to be honest) is there should still be a good justification to subvert expectations, rather than just doing it for its own sake. So to stick with this example...

I mean, sure, you absolutely could make that work - there are many examples already out there of this being done very well. Different people look for different things in fantasy, of course, but if the story is good then someone's usual favourite fantasy race being missing would be a rather...

Wasn't for me, but hey, I might give this a go as well.

It's funny, every time I try to write something more lighthearted, it always ends up getting oddly personal and then straight back to being dark again. I might need to broaden my range a bit.

Hello Ace, it's good to see you again. I'm not doing so badly for myself these days, lockdown has me working with rather less human interaction than usual, like everyone else at the moment, but otherwise things are okay. Hope you're doing well too.

Sounds a fascinating idea, best of luck to you!

I'm struggling to get back into Three Houses myself. I loved Crimson Flower, but playing Verdant Wind afterwards felt quite weak by comparison, I rather lost interest some months ago. I should get back to that.

There's an International Fanworks Day? I wasn't even aware. Is anything usually done to mark the occasion, or is does it end up as another of those days that slip by unnoticed?

Anyone else find themselves writing best at odd and frankly inopportune times, and finding it very difficult when it's most convenient? I seem to have developed a habit of writing better on my tablet in bed last thing in the evening than at any other time.

That sounds a curious idea. The words 'social' and 'event' are not generally ones I like to see together, but I hope it goes well for you anyway. Good luck!

By presenting it in a way that makes sense and is internally consistent both with itself, and with the overall themes and tones of your setting. If you want to portray the PC boxes as a fun virtual world or something, then a caring trainer might wish their Pokemon a good time before leaving them...

I may have worded that poorly, I'd thought it would be clear I was referring to them as their characters, but perhaps not. Either way, the test hopefully should serve its purpose and still feel right when the situation comes up. Guess I'll find out in a couple of days. On an unrelated note, I...
