>>54963391I don't look at "scores" between humans and pokemon in how I write it. I don't care what race is above another. It's a stupid way to wrap your head around it, especially when it's very clear that people have a mutually-beneficial relationship with pokemon.
I think it's much more interesting to portray their differences and such.
But that's not to say all pokemon are exactly animals, I'm going to have human-shaped pokemon that behave more like people than beasts.
I just think it's important to draw the line that they are not humans.
>>54966002S/V is my least favorite region and I'm writing a long-fic on it. But I won't go and try to bring my personal grievances into what I do, that won't make the story any good.
In reality, I only make fics about things I don't like, and I end up liking them by the time I'm done.
The author should know when to step himself aside for the sake of the story and when to pour himself in it. Your opinion on the origin of what you're writing is when you should step aside.
