What of one shots meant to be written in a certain style?
Like, for instance, I've wrote a One Shot about a Tyrogue who discovers his master's suicide. I know how to spell, and I always try to use proper grammer, but the story is written from his point of view, in the way a child would write/spell/whatever, because it's a baby pokémon, and I think it would have a very toddler-like mentality.
I mean, the title is "Y Doesnt U Wayk Up?" (Why don't you wake up?).
Furthermore, if I did get up the courage to post it (I'm quite shy...what with having Social Anxiety Disorder), what would it be rated as? There's no swearing, but there 'is' suicide in it. He doesn't /see/ his master pull the trigger, but he sees her corpse and the blood all over the cottage. It's rather sad. Made me a little more sad than I already was just writing it.

Well, there's nothing wrong with your idea, but I'm not quite buying your argument for why it mandates poor spelling. I wouldn't imagine a baby Pokémon would know how to write to begin with, spelling be damned. Generally when you're writing from someone's POV, you aren't writing it as they would actually write it; you're writing it as if you were transcribing them telling you the story. And you don't transcribe spelling errors. Feel free to use simplified, shaky grammar, but there's no sense in using poor spelling. "Y Doesnt U Wayk Up?" would never make me think "baby"; it would make me think "unintelligent teenager text messaging".What of one shots meant to be written in a certain style?

According to Rule 1, the fic has to be your own work. Will I be allowed to post my fic considering it is my own take on the actual story of Pokémon Sapphire Version? (The game's own story) I may use an NPC's actual words if they have a comedic or dramatic effect. Please answer me.
You can't post images in the fanfic forum. Unfortunately, it'll just have to be a link.
with the added suggestion that you don't make your image too big that it dwarfs the text (or stretches the screen).Gazmof said:Add 139 to your img tag, like so:

Only replacing the angle brackets with these [ things ] respectively. I just tried it in a preview here in this thread and it showed up fine.
