Have any of your characters written themselves? No. Characters are in my brain and my brain controls my fingers which type words on a computer that become a story. Sometimes I get into a groove and don't think much about what is written and it turns out cool, but a lot of the time it's utter...

Share some trivia about your fic! Whether it's completely irrelevant to the story in every way, or an earlier plan that got scrapped, share it with us! You're free to put it in spoilers if it's... well, spoilery All of the worldbuilding for Indigo was originally part of an outline for a fic...

How do you get yourself to write again when your motivation is dead? From what you wrote, I'm assuming you mean motivation for the story in general as apposed to actually writing the thing? Because honestly writing is something I hate to do. It's more a means to an end, a clunky form of...

Besides Pokémon, what is your favorite fandom, and would you ever want to write a story within that fandom? Once Upon A Time, the ABC show. The first season was pretty good, with a focus on all the folklore/Disney characters and interesting flashbacks. Then it veered off into soap opera...

What program(s), if any, do you use to assist you with your writing? Evernote: I use this to do all my worldbuilding and character notes. It's simple to get around in and the interface makes it really easy to hop from the notebook for one series to another. Word 2013: Been using it...

Are there any genres you like to read/watch/play and/or write in outside of Pokemon? If so, do they ever leak into your Pokemon stories? Psychological Horror and Conspiracy Thriller. Love, love, love that stuff. I'm obsessed with urban legends because they usually have more of a mental...

Have you ever had a story idea you really liked but that you ended up shelving because you just didn't think you could pull it off? If so, what was it and have you tried to pick it up again since? Early 2013 I had what I thought was a fun journey fic with a whole bunch of worldbuilding about...

So a few of you mentioned future stories in your new year's plans. I don't suppose you'd be willing to give us a little preview? Any hints as to what you're planning? I've recently become obsessed with an anime called Log Horizon and really want to do a crossover thing with it. The basic...

Do you have any writing-related new year's resolutions this year? Stick to one thing (or three) and get a nice chunk written before doing something new. If I watch or read something I'll probably start having ideas for fics even if I don't like the source material that much. When I get bored...

Subject: Recovery Posted by: pry_goon A cloud of pink hovered above me, moving occasionally only to stop again. Parts of it I couldn’t see poked and prodded my body. If I didn’t feel like crap I would have reacted; I’m usually quite ticklish. I blinked crust out of my eyes. It wasn’t a pink...

Twelve Days of Vague Holiday Celebration December 10th-13th: An audio version of each of the current chapters will be released each day from the time of this post until the 13th. The chapters of this story aren't that long and it's something different for people who don't like reading on...

How do you make your characters? Do you base them off of people you actually know, do you build them around a situation (tragic past, dangerous situations), do you prefer your bad guys to be unambiguously evil, or for everyone to have shades of black and white? It's different every time just...

I've got Alpha Sapphire, love it!

Distractions. What are the most common things that distract you from your writing? What tricks do you use for resisting your distractions and how well do they work? Do you have a good handle on your distractions or do they frequently get in the way of your writing? Everything. When I...

The Crucible I closed the sliding door to the shop club room, not bothering to do so quietly. The raincoat I wore over jeans and a black t-shirt with a One Piece logo distorted the air around me. It had taken only a few minutes to figure out the ability it held. Whenever I pulled the hood over...

Recalled to Life She stood above me, bokken held high, poised to end my life. It would have been nice to live a bit longer. For a long time I drifted through life bored out of my mind, waiting for something spectacular to happen. Maybe it was remnants of my 8th grade syndrome; maybe I...

Yes! This is the first year I've done NaNoWriMo seriously, it'd be fun to hangout with people and do word wars or something! And it's great to have you back!

Canon Characters and Original Characters! Which do you prefer writing for? Do they ever mix? How much of your own spin do you put on canon characters? In the Pokemon fandom, it used to be original characters exclusively that I'd read and think up stories about. There was a lot more openness in...

When do you think it's okay to bring a character back from the dead? I actually have a fanfic entirely devoted to this idea! I took all the characters in a zombie manga that died natural deaths (only six people...) and put them into a time loop sort of plot where after every death they reset...

Don't worry about word count or at least don't stress over it. The most important thing you can take away from NaNoWriMo isn't pumping out 50,000 words in a month, it's getting yourself in the habit of writing consistently, whether it's daily or weekly or whatever you can manage. It helps you...
