A thread for the creation and discussion of fan fiction and other fanworks - anything that involves a story and/or reading. What've you been reading? What've you been writing? What would you like to see more of?
>Thread question: Your fic is now in the backrooms, how do things go? If you're not a writer, the last fic you read is now in the backrooms.
If I had a Drowzee act up on a trainer who is new to psychic types, and hypnotize her as a prank, it would absolutely read as fetish shit, right?

>>59358618 If it was randomly happening in a more typical journeyfic, yeah it’d be fetishy. If you were writing something more comedic you could pull it off. I wouldn’t open with it though.

>>59358718 Right, right. I'd estimate that it could happen around past chapter 20 give or take. Every use would lean more into gag territory and it would be broken by other pokemon smacking Drowzee.

>>59358771 Perhaps have it be a recurring thing and it just isn’t pervy stuff (like some horny lowlife onlooker would be rooting for but constantly getting blue balls’d).
>>59355870 Also, decided to read up on a battle scene for that Ficanon last thread. I looked at the battle vs. Hala as that Chapter 6 one was likely their first one they’d written and didn’t seem fair to offer feedback on it when they’d likely learned a lot 20+ chapters later. I had some nitpicks but overall the battle was good (a little too Pokemon Anime-style for my tastes but that’s a personal thing). So Ficanon if you’re reading this, don’t let any battle critiques make or break your decision about reviving Road to Mastery. We have at least one anon in here who did a multi-year hiatus and got back in the saddle and is pumping out chapters again.

Would Rhys and Kuzey be friends because of their similarities or would they be enemies because of them?

Anonymous06/13/26(Sat)23:12:54
>>59359344 I think it depends on what Kuzey's social class is exactly. Namely if he's new money or old money, you can get more into the weeds if you want to talk about rural society, polite society...etc but in general old money and new money don't get along. If they are part of the same social class I think Rhys would tolerate Kuzey, but he'd probably hate Herri since she's his least favorite type of girl. (She's also a bit like Kuzey since he can come across as deadpan and judgmental). That's not to say he'd go out of his way to voice his displeasure, he'd probably just avoid either of them if he could. But in the first case where they're part of different social classes he'd talk down to Kuzey, and end up getting into a fight. In either case I think Crest or Sneasel are more likely to start a fight since they'd take offense on behalf of their respective masters. and have the whole Pedigree versus Mutt rivalry thing going on. The reason why they take offense would differ i.e >Don't hurt my little brother! >A mutt like you has no place looking at my master like that! I'll have you know (navy seals copypasta). Herri and Clair also wouldn't get along, even if Clair is chill most of the time she's actually more likely to throw a fit if someones steps out of line. Like if she lost in a pokemon fight to someone of a lower social class, or if Herri does something that would, in Clair's eyes, disrespect them. Ironically Rhys would probably really like Kuzey's parents because their work in pokemon protein synthesis would interest him.
I had the idle thought of a SI reincarnated as Jacinthe during XY events story and now I can't stop thinking about it. Someone stop me.

>>59357753 But anon, about your picrel, it's true that it's stupid to discard something because it's not the optimal way, but i feel the "akhchually"'s ideal use is to see where you might need an explaination on WHY something is not the most optimal way.
Bikini armor for example CAN fit a believable setting and be explained in multiple ways: -mages that bypass armor are a common thing (also known as guns) -armies are full of unsatisfied men so a (sexual) distraction is effective at guiding their attention, helping spies -increased risk of rape in exchange for decreased death risk -the girl is a hoe that is NOT going to wear actual armor because it's not fashion and that's final

>>59359948 I think the point is that there's no reason to draw attention to genre conventions unless you're going to deal with them. Just pointing at something in your setting and saying it doesn't make sense or changing something without understanding why it is, can cause dissonance in your story. Forgive me for a moment, but there a series of book/webnovels called a Practical Guide to Evil, I don't like them much but it reminds me of how the webnovel drew attention to the medieval stasis genre convention with a fleet of super power gnomes who nuke anyone who challenge the stasis into oblivion. It just kind of shows up then is never relevant again, if I remember correctly. The point it, it kind of just drew attention to something without the author having any idea what he wanted to do with it. So in the novel version is was removed as it was kind of an odd aside. Of course all of that is supposing you're not writting a Konosube-esq comedy. If so, then go ham I guess.

>>59359151 Spicefag dedicating a third of his fic to an extended hardcore fox rape arc. That just seems like an excessive amount of rape. The part where her trainer quickly moves on and makes new friends and gets new pokemon while she's trapped in the rape dungeon feels slightly mean spirited. Personally I would decline to interrupt my slice of life two badges in to put the starter in a rape dungeon. Some say it builds character but I'd just as soon not. I feel rape is a strong spice that can overpower most dishes

>>59360302 reminds me of a thing I read once that went something like >japanese fantasy is isekai shit to fulfill the fantasy of a world that inherently needs you >korean fantasy is gamer/system shit to fulfill the fantasy of actually being able to rise up from 0 >chinese fantasy is cultivation shit to fulfill the fantasy of having a community that's proud of you hoenn fantasy is comfy shit to fulfill the fantasy of living in a world where the land, sea, and air don't start shitfits with each other over nothing every couple of years
>>59360347 >chinese fantasy is cultivation shit to fulfill the fantasy of having a community that's proud of you That's not really how xianxia shit goes, the entire genre is about acquisition of power. Everything else is a tool to facilitate that. You don't get strong enough to prove your doubters wrong, you get strong enough to execute them (or smart enough to engineer their deaths via trap or third party)

Anonymous06/14/26(Sun)05:10:11
>>59360374 nta but cultivation stories usually take time to set up the MC as the revered idol of their clan/sect/planet/universe, only the truly demonic MCs are cold enough to not care for it in the slightest. But I agree, the main emphasis is on power accumulation. It's like korea's but dialed to 11 and without eliminating all the opposition from the onset(like how the hell am I supposed to respect Solo Leveling's MC when only he's allowed to level up and use all these cool abilities? at least most of the stuff cultivation MC's get is something anyone else could have gotten too)

I agree that it's a power fantasy or revenge sort of thing especially with how prevalent tropes like the young master or the setup of the story being that the MC was betrayed and whatnot but the other half the the coin is the respect/fame and glory aspect

Maybe they'll leave table scraps for a former org since 0.1% of the newly ascended protag's power is more than they make in a year
