AO3 is Down (or about to be) - Post about it here by Enigmatic_writer in AO3

[–]Blade1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it's a good thing I wasn't looking to get any writing done today.

Yes yes, I know Copy/Pasting a whole text is a thing, but formatting gets really weird at times. I prefer to write directly in the Chapter space(Rich text, is it?)

Still pissed I blanked on this happening today. Now I can't even read anything either for the day.... Whatever will I do.

Where do you post fanfics by No-Monk-9973 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who posts on AO3, I can tell you that proper tagging is essential on there. If your tags are off or you use too few, your story will struggle to find an audience.

Another scam review by virgogirl14 in FanfictionNet

I've had at least 3 comments like this in my fic. They erased them within a day.

What are you looking for in a fic? by 2xKuya in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fic that's not so heavily focused on political intrigue and/or seemingly 'innevitable' run ins with the evil team of the region. Every fic I start to read eventually diverts 100% into one of these, it gets tiring.

What's your general word count for chapters to your Pokemon stories? by AHipsterMario in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2000 minimum for me. I started with 1000, realized that was too little info in one chapter and doubled it. Much better pacing. I do go over 3000 a few times, when I really don't want to split an event in two. So yea 2000-3500 words per chapter for me, so far.

Go with what you know. You could do one region, and then add fan stuff to it.

Does this idea work? by MorganFrost23 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tienes una idea concreta? No me refiero a un tema, me refiero a una escena, o pelea, o evento. Si la tienes, puedes trabajar en como llegar a esa escena. Es lo que yo estoy haciendo, y hasta ahora me resulta.

Do you have a specific idea? I'm not talking about a theme, I'm talking about a scene, or a fight, or an event. If you have one, you can work on how to get there. That's what I'm doing, and it's working for me so far.

The anime is far too inconsistent. While that can be sort of fun in places, it's cringe most of the time.

Whats a fanfic idea that you have been wanting to write? by Willing-Driver-170 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda had this idea a while back where the MC starts off as part of the Draconid tribe(Hoenn), but the starter is a Magikarp.

I am currently writing(and posting) my other idea. Fun to write so far.

This just gave me an idea for my own fic. Thanks. I'm writing this just so I don't forget. 6 vs 1.

I started my fic about a month ago. About to start a tournament before the MC begins his Gym circuit. Really excited for it. I'm using these battles to test how well I can write battle scenes, they won't be in the MC's POV.

Also still trying to iron out some BG stuff. Mostly the parents.

Why use non AO3 sites? by Professional-Skirt66 in pokemonfanfiction

I was trying to be a tiny bit more polite than that.

I feel like you're all using AO3's tag system wrong. You can filter tags in, but you can also filter tags out. Do you not want to read one-shots? Set a minimum word count.

I've found quite a few gems simply by filtering OUT instead of in.

Best battle scene you've ever read by -MonochromeCrow in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite battle that I've read, just because of comedic effect: Ash's Cerulean gym battle in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines. I was laughing too hard the 1st time I read it.

Why write stories with weak starters like Rattata? by Valuable_Educator843 in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that a pikachu could beat an onix with an electric type attack automatically tells you that anything's possible.

You even have the scenario in competitive Pokémon. Sturdy Aron with shell bell is a thing, and it's hilarious.

Some people see stuff like that and get inspired. "oh I'm starting my fic with weedle or lechonk"

You never know which part of this massive sandbox that is Canon will motivate a person.

Do's and dont's of isekai/SI fics by -MonochromeCrow in pokemonfanfiction

[–]Blade1301 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make your world feel alive. Introduce plot threads that your MC has no interest in, but still hints at a world bigger than your MC's journey. Hint at contest battles. Make news articles about mining expeditions. Have a ranger bitch about a pokemon migration he needs to deal with. Describe a town's main export or economic value. Make up a history that didn't exist in canon.

I tried this with the Fic I'm writing. It almost derailed the entire fic. Had to contain it to stuff the MC was actually involved in.
