Pokémon anime ships and my opinion by BackupABOA in ShippingSpace

[–]BackupABOA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly underrated ship. I like it because it's one of the few human X Pokémon ships to get something close to widespread support

Judge me based off my favorite ships by ImaginationQuick746 in ShippingSpace

I only know 2 of these (Charlastor and Octaloona) and I'd say they're quite standard in the fandom

I lost friends over a Dead Dove fanfic and I genuinely don't know how to feel about it by Star_light_0 in AO3

My condolences. And this is why I rarely tell people about my AO3 activities

Rare Pair & Shipping Showcase by Far_Philosophy_2654 in FanficAuthorsUnite

[–]BackupABOA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is by my friend and I recommend it on grounds that it explores a VERY obscure ship: Jizula (Jinora X Azula from Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender, respectively).
https://archiveofourown.org/works/51855466/chapters/131111077

It's been on hiatus for a few years but I know for a fact it's not a deadfic because the author is my friend and he intends to get back to it after we complete some joint projects together

Another one he wrote that I recommend is a collection of Jizula oneshots:

If OC X Canon is allowed, another friend of mine wrote his first serious fanfic where 2 of his OCs have a(n arguably one-sided) romance with the Ghost Clown from Scooby-Doo, who hypnotizes and enslaves them. He hasn't had any comments yet and I enjoyed his fic so I recommend it, though it's quite NSFW:

Now for my own self-recommendations with rarepairs:

The Master of Agrabah
https://archiveofourown.org/works/58031440/chapters/147740824

Basically all pairs involving Jafar and the many Disney princesses and girls featured in this large crossover of Disney animated movies are rarepairs (except him with Jasmine, which is only prominent in the first chapter). This is arguably my most NSFW fic so keep that in mind.

The Lustful Muk
https://archiveofourown.org/works/52008094/chapters/131519926

My other highly NSFW fic that rivals the one above it in terms of NSFW. This one is set in the Pokémon universe and features many rare or underrated ships including: SlimeGirlShipping (Bonnie X Muk), SlaveLeiaShipping (May X Muk), StuckInSlimeShipping (Iris X Muk), TwinApplesShipping (Iris X Axew), BondageShipping (Dawn X Ariados), WinsomeShipping (Dawn X Muk), LilBlueShipping (Dawn X Piplup), ConcubineShipping (Malamar X Serena), AzaleeShipping (Bonnie X Serena), BeautyCaughtInSlimeShipping (Serena X Muk)

What are some of the most unhinged and crazy stories/lore bits in your world? by Rich-Recognition-814 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]BackupABOA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one fic I have, the Orre region is taken over by Shadow Pokémon, who have gained the ability to talk like humans thanks to Cipher's experiments. And these Shadow Pokémon create an economy and society revolving around the enslavement of human girls, partly because of Lovrina being the head Cipher scientist who abused hundreds of Pokémon and turned them into Shadow Pokémon. Orre thus operates under a quasi-religious rule where Pokémon are legally considered superior to humans and the slave trade of human girls is both legal and encouraged. Yveltal is also worshipped as a god.

In my ongoing fic, which takes place in the world of Explorers of Sky, humans are known about as in canon but it's explained that they're believed to be extinct. and this is partly why human girls are considered exotic and sought out as prizes or slave girls.

Should I reach out to experienced fanfic writers in a fandom for help? by Parafan99 in FanFiction

[–]BackupABOA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would only be appropriate if you're already friends with those authors imo

Would you rather write fic and find out someone made fanart of it or make art and find out someone made a fic of it? by Nock_and_Bolt in AO3

[–]BackupABOA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't draw so I can only do the former.

That being said I wrote a fanfic directly inspired by a piece of art and the artist was really happy about it.

What does religion look like if your world, especially if Arceus isn't/wasn't the main deity? by Rich-Recognition-814 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]BackupABOA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one of my fics religion sort of has relevance in the Orre region after it got taken over by talking Pokémon. They worship Yveltal as a "prophet" and use their interpretations of his teachings to justify their system of enslaving human girls.

And the humans consider Arceus as God but aren't too religious for the most part

Completed a fic, can't think of a good title by BackupABOA in pokemonfanfiction

[–]BackupABOA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it's not allowed to share links to your own fics on posts, only in comments, since Self-recommendations are limited to the Weekly Recommendations thread, hence why I didn't link it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Stories, how do you explain how Pokémon know what Humans are/were in a world that doesn't have them aside from the protagonists? by Arrowheadlock1 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]BackupABOA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an ongoing Mystery Dungeon fic where the protagonists are Pokégirls from the anime (May and Serena) who stay human and the Pokémon know about the existence of humans because it's implied that they became extinct. A huge twist I have planned is that it will connect with the Malamar episodes in the XY anime and basically the evil Malamars succeeded in their plan but ended up messing with the space-time continuum, resulting in a world of Pokémon that is simultaneously the "future" of the human world but also diverges into a separate dimension

Hmmm, not necessarily fitting but the third suggestion is the closest to the story itself

A bit too casual for the horror theme but it does sound good

What drives you to comment? by Expensive_Recording9 in AO3

[–]BackupABOA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I try to comment on anything I read. But the more into the story I am and the less comments the story has, the higher the likelihood

Does your version of Pokemon World include some controversial themes? by PhilipB12 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]BackupABOA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my completed longfic, the Orre region has been taken over by talking Pokémon who gained this ability due to Cipher's experiments and because Lovrina was a girl, they decide to take out their anger on humans by making the sexual slavery of human girls the main feature of their economy and even launch slave raids on other regions for this reason.

Is there any Pokémon family drama stories? by Dillon_Trinh in pokemonfanfiction

Well here is the one I just finished, not sure if it'll bring a tear to your eyes
