I believe that my return to the forum is in due order; it has been a while hasn't it DS? I'm all ears as to the one-shot. I may just throw one up here, just to get some exposure after such an absense.
@ Icy: I don't dislike any of them, but I agree some have better looks than others, haha.
I'm guessing he'd be around 13/14 by the Hoenn arch? I don't know. D:

Mmmm yeah. Smart jerk? Not too jerky though :]
CC said:It's not that weird! I mean, I was three years older than-- well, okay, I won't unload my dirty laundry in the thread again, but you know what/who I mean. ^^;; I'd say that, as long as one is not a legal adult while the other isn't, a slight age difference isn't so bad.
Good point! Although, I still kinda like the idea of the idea of an older, jaded Brendan with lots of experience and such... I dunno, both ideas work. ^^
I'd agree with that, too.
As for Ash's age, I'm pretty sure he'd be about 14-15, assuming each region equals one year. And, concerning May's title, I'm almost certain it's from Contest victories.

I can see where you're coming from there, on multiple levels. XDlol I just don't like how some can't sing/act/dance yet they are so popular as "singers" or w/e but aren't even good at their role/job except for looking pretty. But hey, who am I to say, pretty boys are always good for the mind/eyes... lol
XD Yes of course, how can we let May be without having a source of annoyance from B-boy?
It was cute but sometimes too much on the detail, as CC said... You know how you sorta sometimes add too much hot sauce that it takes away the flavour of the food? Ya... its kinda like that ^^;;
After 6-7 years, I find the age differences rather awkward/weird. 3 is around what I find acceptable. Its all very complicated... if you are 15 and under, the guy can be 1 year older at most but preferably the same age. If you're 16-18, 2 year difference is acceptable. If you're 19-21, 3 year difference. 21+ perferably 5 year difference at most. If you're 28+ 10 year difference is *MARGINALLY* acceptable, depending... This is alllll imo, of course. And the guy should be the older. If he is younger, 1 year younger is the largest acceptable age difference.
But there always are those cute old couples that are 10 years different and its okay cuz they're old now but when you're young... please don't. lol. Well, of cousre, unless there was some crazy situation where it's DESTINED that you be togehter and you're like 20 years apart. I'd be like . . . erm... okay... this is sorta acceptable since they're destined but other than that... again, pleaes don't.
Don't ask why/how I came up with this... as I said, its all imo.
So "technically", by my standards, if Ash is 14-15 (lol I thought he was 16), Advancedshipping isn't acceptable to my standards... except for the fact that I still sorta support it ;; (since I bump May's age up a bit, which most people agree to from "obvious reasons", as CC said XD)
Hmm... If May is Princess of Hoenn... the Shuu would most likely be granted the title of the Prince of Hoenn... ;;;;;; *gets killed for so many un-Hoennshippy implications* X_X;;
I can see where you're coming from there, on multiple levels. XD
Of course! It practically seems like tradition by this point. xD But not too annoying, of course; just enough for their interactions to be cute.
That's actually a pretty good analogy. ^^
I pretty much agree with that. You're right, age difference can be pretty murky territory; a lot of it depends on the individuals involved. Generally, though, I find that the acceptable gap seems to grow as the partners' ages increase. Oh, and the idea of the guy being the younger one is a little odd to me. Not so much for chauvinistic reasons, but rather because I simply don't hear about it much... ^^;;
Destiny does often seem to change the rules. XD
Don't worry, it doesn't sound that weird! I can see how you'd reach those conclusions.
Well, I suppose that if you count the Battle Frontier as another region/year, then he would be 16. Regardless, it does put him out of her range by your calculations... as good as that is for our cause, though, he probably shouldn't try to antagonise the other ships. ^^;
Be careful there; that's dangerous thinking! XD Hm, maybe Drew and Brendan could both have that title? Like, Drew would be the "White Prince", and Brendan would be the "Black Prince"? No, no, that's too Code Geass-ish. ><;; Besides, Drew's not even part of the equation...
@DS: Good work, as usual. ^^ Once again, your interpretation of Brendan proves quite unique... certainly not something I would have thought of, but fresh and interesting nonetheless! I just don't want to think about what that chewing tobacco would do to his teeth... XD
Yay, indeed. ^^ May is a good judge of character; she knows that he's good on the inside!@ DS: Aha, that's something new. Brendan, once again, is teh bad one. :X But even if he's bad, May still stuck with him yay.
Replying other posts: *can't be bothered to quote again*
Ah, don't mind the crappiness of the HC teaser. It was written so fast... I didn't even pay attention to tenses. P: The real chapter will be much better; I promise.
I was planning to just use the OC characters y'all sent before, but if you want new ones, I will send new OC sheets... :3
EDIT: Why are we talking about Shuu? O:
Hm... interesting. I've always been more of an introverted type, so most of my inspiration for characters comes from myself (I'll admit that my personal versions of Brendan, Wally, and Lucas can all be matched to a specific aspect of my own personality. xD) and other fictional characters. The end result usually doesn't suffer for it, as far as I can tell. Oh, and that's alright; we all have bad habits. ^^;;DS said:It's easy to make a personality by mixing a few together like friends at school. Sadly I am guilty of chewing tobacco and dipping, but I'm off the stuff I swear. I risked loosing my enamel over it. I think I could actually make the Adventures of Brendan and May or The Hoenn Company or something else corny.
Second, I think we should evict Ash from this thread he has enough women already... if ya get the hint. jk
I have always seen Brendan as a mix of Muddy(Copyright n trademark to Breezy) and a person who can be very astute. Not like a bipolar but someone who is easy going and loves to have a good time no matter what, but yet sometimes knows how to be serious when it counts.
No problem, Sis. ^^ I suppose if I can't write myself, I can at least help others with it. xD Really?

To keep this on topic... anyone think B&M would make a GREAT Elizabeth + Darcy (Pride & Prejudice!)?

Hmm... Actually, I disagree ^^;; The second one was the one that seems too much to me ^^;; The first one has enough detail to paint a vivid picture of the scene and give it it's mysteryish (not really but "magical" I guess might be a better fit?) atmosphere but the second one was a bit of an overkill ^^;;;;;;;Cherri said:@Icy + CC: Thanks guys!

Man, all of you guys are writing like crazy, and I've still got nothing! ;_; I just wish I had at least a moment of spare time... oh, well. If nothing else, I'll write some one-shots/drabbles this weekend, even if I'm not in that particular writing mood.
DS said:Bleh I;m tired of talking about guys. We need to focus some on the female
I can see that. It works rather well, I would say. Really? Okay, cool! I await seeing it.DS said:CC - I think out the box like crazy. And I have to admit I throw a little me in Brendan's personality. The skipping school and abuse of substance would be examples. I really think I should go with the skipping school one-shot, its gonna be sweet
May imo is a little bit of a worry-wuss. She cares deeply for her friend and family and doesn't want anything to happen to get them hurt or in trouble. At the ssame time she oversteps it alot and tends to be a control freak, but she doesn't mean it
Right, right! Good point. ^^Icy said:Of course... Guys that are too annoying isn't necessarily a good thing... As we mentioned before, we still don't completely understand their act of annoyance to get the girl's attention and even turn it into "hatred" XD
XD *is a big fan of hot sauce*
Well, when you're older, it doesn't matter as much anymore since your life should have "stabilized" by then (ie both have jobs, careers, are doing similar activities, etc)... at least that's my reason of why having an large age gap works for older people...
Really? I'm actually quite picky about it lol I think its just the whole thing with the male traditionally being older (at a point where they were 20 yrs older in the middle ages and what not) and the whole security and maturity thing... Anyways, of course, imo but generally, I find that people agree with me on this... females that is. Many males, like you, don't understand this concept. I've tried many times to expain it but it always failed -_-;;
Haha yes, oh destiny... but hey, how often do you see it happen? that's why there are the rare exceptions.
I think you can see why I don't like pokeshipping much now (Misty is older = BAD... in my books anyway. but I do agree, it is sorta cute. Just not the whole age thing. *is weird*
but considering this, May came in the show 1 year earlier than Dawn meaning that Dawn + Ash is... :S *gets killed by many other shippers* X_X
Well, the whole prince title can be contests... and Bredan can be cooler than being that and he can be something else... like... the Champion? Wait... that's Steven, isn't it? @_@;; Er... well something else... (KNIGHT! HAHA *gets shot for cheesyness* but that would make a very bad title regardless) I think I like Prodigy of Hoenn best. *nods*
(BTW not a CG watcher ^^;; is it good? The characters look interesting but I have no clue what the show is about ^^; )
Actually, I think I saw somewhere that a lot of authors base their characters on themselves too, which usually end up working really well since they know themselves best and gives their characters the most life from that.
Don't worry, my brain is dead =) *knocks head... only an hollow sound is heard* and writing without a intent for it is never good. Nothing good comes =(
I can see that. It works rather well, I would say. Really? Okay, cool! I await seeing it.
Funny, I actually thought the opposite. I saw Brendan as the control freak (tying into the overprotective thing I mentioned a few pages back), while I thought of May as kinda ditzy and forgetful, but caring deeply for her friends and generally having her priorities in order. Seeing as I mostly based her off of the anime incarnation, I suppose that makes sense.
Right, right! Good point. ^^
Me, too. XD
Right. At that point, they are in essentially the same place in life, with their biological age being the only real divide between them.
Yes, I'm aware of the tradition and all. That's probably why the "male being older" thing made sense. Ah, but if you remember, I'm not quite like "most males". XD I actually do see where you're coming from on that. And really, what's so hard to explain? ^^;;
True. Destiny rarely intervenes, but when it does, the effects are usually pretty dramatic.
Yes, I can see... I'm still into it, but that's more from habit than anything else. But that's beside the point. And no, you're not that weird. =)
Good point, but we should probably avoid annoying the Pearlshippers... >_>;;
Yeah... the other business with Contests and the Champion is confusing. @_@ Let's just stick with Prodigy! (In response to the other thing you said, CG can be a little hard to warm to, I'll admit. It is a good series, though.)
Oh, okay, good! I guess I'm going in the right direction, then. ^^
Oh... maybe I'm better off continuing to plan. Yes, I'll do that!
Yes, it would seem. XDXD We're in agreeance today, aren't we XD
What do you mean that you're "not like most males?" @_@;;
I actually have NO clue. I tell them what I wrote there and I'm like "So, do you get it now?" and they're like "er... no... why does it matter?" -_-;; I've tried many many methods but it never worked T_T;;
lol Wonder how often that it happens XD
lol thanks ^^
And I suppose I should avoid the pokeshippers from that too... *hides behind a rock*
What is it about though? (ie genre? scifi? mecha? (if any of the above applies, that is probably a reason that I'm not watching it XD)
haha Well, just suggestions, don't have to follow them, but amaze us with your fic! eventually...! lol

BTW, how was she named the "Hoenn Princess"? Contest successes?

Chairz said:Yeah, hemispheres are a problem :/ How 'bout we just have our festival based on a "month," and throw in our own contributions based on what that month means to us? Like, May (the month!) to me means flowers, schoolwork, warmth... but it might mean something totally different to you, which would be interesting.

Ahaha, I like that word. XD Artsy-fartsy. As in I fart art! ... <_< >_> Yeah.
Yes, it would seem. XD
I'm typically better able to understand the female thought process than most guys I know. I imagine all the time I've spent around girls for the past few years may have something to do with it. XD And, as for what you were trying to explain, I'm pretty sure I get it. I'm not sure what everyone else thought was so odd about it.
A lot! In fiction, anyway. xD
You're welcome!
Lol, maybe... Except me, anyway; I'm on your side. ^^
Unfortunately, all of the above... ^^;;
Well, they're valid suggestions, which is why I'm taking them. Thank you! I hope it really does amaze you guys when I get around to writing it.
