Hey, everyone. I'm looking for a fanfiction I read years ago; I think it was on Bulbagarden. It involved Ash (or maybe it was Red) being up on Mt. Silver and finally returning home to Pallet, muscular and with his Pokémon all super-charged (possibly with added mechs, etc.). Everyone in Pallet, notably his mother and Gary (or Blue/Green), is particularly uncomfortable with what he has become (due to his insatiable desire to become the very best). That's all I remember. If the story rings a bell to anyone, can someone give me a name or a link? Thanks.

I wrote mostly romance and character study for quite some time, interspersed with other shit, but recently I've been writing more occult and drama focused work, and then just working pre-existing or failed romances into it, because wow I really am a tremendous faggot.

wew accidentally closed the docs window>TOTT Writing, I greatly prefer gritty, logical adventure stories with fantasy elements to explain. There is typically romance somewhere in there, if only for a single sentence worth of a hint. For the few things I do read, it usually ends up being just about the same except even more inherently furfaggoty.

TOTT: I don't read very much except for what's assigned in my classes, but in the rare cases where I pick up a book of my own choosing, I usually prefer adventurey stuff, be it fantasy or sci-fi or something else. I wouldn't say I abhor any genre in particular, though. At least, not that I can think of right now. In terms of writing: I only started doing creative writing in earnest a month or two ago, so I haven't done enough to really figure out what I like writing best. I think I feel more comfortable doing action rather than laid-back stuff, and I've been enjoying writing the emotional scenes in Azure Sun as well, though it's hard to say what type of genre I feel the best about. But I keep writing to find that answer.

For the three (if I'm generous to myself) of you who might care about Big Shoes to Fill, you may have noticed I didn't get a chapter update out last thread. I think if I'm lucky I might get out Ch.8 this thread. Except it wont be Ch.8, it'll be Ch.7, because I'm about to embark on a restructuring and rewriting of Ch.2 and Ch.3 into a single chapter. I could call it any number of positive productive things; bringing earlier chapters up to a higher standard, or amending the story where I see a lot of reader attrition. But my sparse readership deserves honesty, so I'm going to go ahead and say it's Advanced Procrastination.

Should be posting new chapter soon. Fairy types and dragons are challenging to write in combat since I enjoy my descriptive battle sequences. It's a problem that derives from mechanics. Immunity to a type can read as bland unless there's some degree of spice. I'm working on making the resistance/immunities of pokemon more engaging for a reader. Showing the various degrees of resistance a pokemon would have innately compared to a battle-trained mon requires a bit of creativity for instance. Trying to make the effects of moves jump out as interesting takes on the type chart is what I'm aiming for - especially if it is plot related. Of course, literature is not the games so there is definitely more latitude.
Choroy
Quoted By:
>>28635074 >>28635074 >Immunity to a type can read as bland unless there's some degree of spice. Depends on what you mean by immunity. There's ways and ways to do it depending on how you spice it, yes. Movie 12 for example had Arceus change types and then attacks aimed at him were kind of, teleported int nothingness, it was an interesting concept even if it wasn't used for anything. I'm not sure how the various anime series and shorts deal with type immunity.
I don't think the contrast between Dragon type and Fairy type is too if any hard to write about. Dragons are creatures of might, they might have the Dragon type to assist them in things but they are otherwise just nature's bestest, amped up to eleven. Claws, fangs, tail, what have you. Your Clefable might be smug thinking that it can No Sell the incoming Dragon Claw from a Druddigon, and in fact it is likely that will happen tht the Dragon-type energy of the attack will just bounce off the Clefable's skin or something, but the *kinetic* energy of a powerful mass of muscle going claw first is still a different thing and the Druddigon is going to tear quite a hole into your Clefable's innards for a lot of blood to spill out from, for example.
If anything, it's Poison immunity by Steel types that might be weirder to deal with because that depends on how do you interpret eg.: Steel-type organics, like Lucario, versus machine-types like Magnemite.

>>28625469 Is this gonna be some sort of case study on what happens when you
literally forget to cherish?
The emotional to physical suffering ratio is skewed too far towards physical, seems like that's about to change.
Look out Panne, he's left behind a forgotten life once (twice?) before. Seriously though, do be careful how much you beat on your characters, physically or emotionally. Too much, too often will leaving readers numb to it. I think you may have pushed the treks of misery a bit too hard between both stories.
Mimiga
Quoted By:
>>28645907 Ech, it is time for emotional misery anyway. There isn't much more heavy exertion scheduled throughout the rest, I've really gotta focus hard on dialogue and how the characters develop and interact from this point on. Most everything that's happened up to this point was my way of snaking over to THIS story, so bittersweet is the most important flavor of the chest pains I have to master.

Not poofy-fluffy, but not smooth-skinned. This is mostly because I am a simple person with simple mental associations: down = feathers = burd

>>28649470 The dex doesn't outright say how the feathers feel. Either the feathers really do feel smooth like glass, or maybe they're actually soft but have the properties of glass. The dex does say that the down refracts light, so perhaps calling her feathers "glass-like" just means they have the properties of glass. I guess since there's no official explanation, you can interpret it however you want.
But I prefer to think she's soft because that's more conducive to hypothetical snuggling cge0361 !Xatu./qcKY
>>28649538 >A condom >How could it possibly fail Wallet friction.
traipsingexodus
>>28649667 >soft but have the properties of glass That's fiberglass bud. And trust me, there's nothing cuddly about it. Fluffy and pink (or whatever innocent color they've chosen for the thing) becomes itchy and fucking infuriating really god damn fast. Only way around it is if the feathers weren't as fragile as fiberglass, because ultimately that's what fucks you. The fibers break and embed themselves in your skin and then it's time for an incredibly unpleasant few hours in a hundred degree dust-filled attic.
>>28649776 Always remember to properly store your condoms, readers! Alternatively, seek the miracle known as hormonal contraceptive injection.

>>28649980 I don't know much about fiberglass, so I wasn't trying to say Latias has feathers made of the stuff.When I said "soft but with the properties of glass", I wasn't thinking about fiberglass, I was thinking more about her feathers possessing the"refracting light" part of glass. Otherwise they're just normal feathers.
Although, now that I think about it, it's an interesting bit of Pokemon biology headcanon to think that Latias really doeshave what basically amounts to fragile fiberglass for feathers, which she could shedas a defense mechanism. After all, Mist Ball is described as pretty much just a glob of her feathers thrown at the enemy, and it does 70 damage. With that in mind, maybe her feathers really are organic fiberglass.
Also, I apologize if this talk of fiberglass is causing any kind of PTSD, or made you hate Latias for all eternity due to the potential that she's made of fiberglass.
traipsingexodus
>>28650581 Nah mate, no worries. I don't hate the Pokemon (although her Mega made me seriously question whoever designed it) I just hate fiberglass.
I'm sure that she and Latios are perfectly huggable, as a Pokemon being a fiberglass elemental would be absolutely cruel. Then again, maybe not unheard of - some pokemon are made of magma after all.
Feathers that just appear to be made of glass honestly sounds pretty awesome. Individual ones would be a treat to hold up to light sources.
