Of ??? and Smile Guy and Five Other People

CHAPTER 1 - The PM From ???

Smile Guy, sat, blank-minded at an empty Word Document. He fiddled around with the buttons, wrote random sentences and picked his teeth. What he was not doing was thinking, which was primarily what he had to do. He leaned sideways, found it painful, and sat more upright. He rolled his tongue round his mouth, then pursed his lips. His ears listened out for the conversation about the previous night's television viewing (Jonathon Ross and Hustle, evidently).

For Smile Guy had set himself a task. He was to write a Fanstory to be posted on Serebiiforums.com. And for some reason, Smile Guy was finding this very hard indeed. He flicked through the forums, checking up on anything he need to check up, then, running out of excuses of what to do, returned to the stubbornly empty Word Document.

Suddenly Smile Guy had an idea. Grinning, he set about writing the above and came to a stop now. He added a space bar and thought, where on earth he could bring this too, then double-checked the forums for any signs of change.

Then, the idea came, it hit Smile Guy as suddenly as a wrecking ball once knocked Homer Simpson into the side of his house (in the episode Sideshow Bob Roberts, to be pedantic). Smile Guy, chewed his finger nails briefly and then started on the story.

Except...

Already, Smile Guy had found an excuse to stop the story for he had just noticed on the forums his Private Messages. It read.

Welcome, Smile Guy.
You last visited: Today at 6:28 PM
Private Messages: Unread 2, Total 19.

Intrigued, or, at least desperate for an excuse to stop writing his story, Smile Guy entered his PMs. The first message was from a person who called themselves "Bob'sUrUncle", and it was titled "Hello!" He quickly checked it out, and groaned. It was another one of those newbies who was sending everyone a picture of themselves. Thinking back to the horrid events of Sonia Simmon's photo, Smile Guy decided to delete it pretty quickly. The next PM, however, was far more intriguing:

??? said:
Smile Guy, I need your help. Be in the Fan Art Forum on 2nd April at 12:00pm GMT. Bring five people with you from Serebiiforums who you feel are worthy of knowing........ alas, I can not say too much now. Just be there.

Smile Guy frowned momentarily. It was certainly odd, this PM, and Smile Guy had to admit that it was rather interesting. What was this about? Was it a prank? A practical joke? A piece of artwork that this person felt that I should see first? Why five other people? Smile Guy thought about this for a while, and decided that he would ignore it. Why should Smile Guy worry about it? He did have other things to worry about, after all.

<>^<>^<>^<>^<>^<>^<>^<>^<>

But Smile Guy couldn’t get his mind off it. What was going to happen at Fan Art at 12:00 next week?

Slightly angrily at being put in this situation he phoned a couple of his friends but his mood was not exactly helped when, after accidentally dialing the wrong number found the usual lady was not saying her usual speech instead she said:

“Question mark. 12.00. Question Mark. Five people. Question Mark. 2nd April.”

Furious, he slammed the phone down and stormed back to the computer. “Screw it!” he thought out loud, “He wrote the rest of his story so far and put it into Seribiiforum.com.

‘People who post in this thread will be up for nomination to be one of those five people,’ Smile Guy typed grumpily. ‘I’m not doing this alone,’ he added, as an afterthought.

And with almost an almost odd determination, Smile Guy, slammed on the Submit button. And he waited to see the results.

TO BE CONTINUED at April 2nd at 12:00 in Fan Art

So guys... What d'ya think? If you genuinely unsure what to think then PM and I may give you some extra clues. Oh, and I know it doesn't feature pokemon prominently but it is about Serebiiforums, a pokemon site AND it will feature pokemon later.

ummm what can I say, is this actually in the right place? It is very unorthidox and we can't ell if you're being serious or trying to be funny. This fic isn't really about pokemon either, so I think it'd be best to placed somewhere else and if it is interactive like you've mentioned, than perhaps you should turn it into an RPG

It seems very interesting. I want to know who this ??? guy is, and I want to find out what exactly is going to happen. I hope the next Chapter comes out soon.

Er, you sent me a confusing PM. And whatever the hell it is you want me to do, I'll do it! This is most confusing, though. I am intrigued.

Friendly POKéMON.
Quite good, writing-wise. You keep a seemingly good plot moving along. And, well... it's unique. So much, really, that there's not much I can comment on. What you could do is improve description, but I can't find anything else, except a few spelling/grammar errors:

Furious, he slammed the phone down and stormed back to the computer. “Screw it!” he thought out loud, He wrote the rest of his story so far and put it into Seribiiforum.com.

That would be an e, last time I checked. And that quotation mark is unneeded.

I'm feeling lazy, so that would be all. I'll look out for this fic.
