Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Hello.
Well, I had another idea (great).
We agree that there are many people who don't like BW in the anime?
Well, I knew that and researched the main reasons. And there are several.
So I unconsciously started thinking about how I would like to see or write certain criticized parts, as...
The world of Pokémon is much darker than everyone thinks. One only needs to read the Pokédex to realize that.
In a world recovering from a massive war between three teams Mystic, Valor, and Instinct. Locked in a stalemate for decades with no real winners. With entire populations both human and...

Threadmarks: Chapter 1: No one knows how to deal with death, we only know how to keep going
*Takes a deep breath*
Wow, how much of a liar I am.
I really want to start my list of stories I've decided to write, but the ideas for new stories just keep coming.
When I think about starting, I already have another inspiration for a story.
And the worst part? Almost all of them involve...
1: The Big Man
Olivine. A modern port city surrounded by a mass of fields for export. It's in a country called Johto, with millions of people calling this place home. City planners avoided skyscrapers, so the settlement expanded out, not up.
Deep in the bustling streets of Olivine, a small...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: It's not about having, but about being
It's amazing how I'm already preparing to write another story, even though I have other things to do like translating a webcomic (I've already said this, but I'm very proud of it).
This story is the second idea I had for a Pokémon story with Pokémon as the protagonist.
Unlike the previous...
Threadmarks: Act 1 - CHAPTER 1 — Snowfall Without Credits
Cold.
That was the first thing I registered. Not the kind of cold you get from forgetting a jacket or leaving a window open overnight. This was the kind that bit into exposed skin like teeth, that turned breath into visible fog before it even left your mouth, that made your lungs ache with...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: You can fail, you just can't give up
*Sigh*
I really wanted to start my list of The Loud House stories.
But NOOOOO, I have to have tons and tons of writing inspiration for various fandoms. I have another Pokémon story besides this one, one for Pixar's Luca, and so on. I even have a new TLH story involving the Blouds and an AU of...
Jacob wakes up, not to the sound of his fifth alarm or to his roommate shaking him awake before he misses his first class of the day, but to him landing on his side, slamming into the hard ground, pain radiating through his side as he shrieks, his clothing barely doing anything to protect him...
The Fleur family home smelled like boiled potatoes and desperation.
I stood at the kitchen counter, hands moving through the familiar motions of peeling vegetables while my mind wandered somewhere between this life and the last. The knife—dull, because we couldn't afford to replace it—scraped...
Author's Note: This is a remaster of my popular on FF.net and AO3 story, 'Curiosity'. Begun in 2020. It was ~60K words at the time that I wrapped the arc I stopped writing on and thus 'threadmarks' are remastered Arcs not remastered chapters.
Chapters 1-5 Gradutation
I had been wondering, my...
P R E M I S E
They say the world used to be a very different place. More dangerous.
Supposedly, Wild Pokémon used to be far more aggressive than they are today. An infamous tale even speaks of a Rattata horde, besieging an entire platoon of Rangers and leaving no survivors.
And let's not...
When I came to, the first thing I noticed was the hum.
It wasn’t quite thunder and not quite machinery—just a low vibration, steady as a heartbeat, somewhere beneath the rain.
The ground was soft under my cheek. Wet. I pushed myself up, fingers sinking into moss and mud. It clung to my palms...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1 — A Home That Should Not Exist
I woke to warmth.
Not the mechanical hum of a Rayshift chamber, not the sterile calm of a medical ward, not even the controlled quiet of a battlefield’s aftermath.
Warmth.
A blanket someone tucked carefully to my chin.
The tiny weight of Fou curled on my chest, rising and falling with sleepy...
Honestly, I'm kind of a new writer in this server up until recently, but I wanted to try my hand at writing my own sort of Pokemon story here in QQ. However, there is only one issue that being that I have no idea what kind of Pokemon Fanfic tropes to take note of. I do wanna have fun with the...
As the sun sets, you watch your people set up their tents, tiredness enforcing a sullen silence over the camp. You turn and behold the landscape, catching a glimpse of your patrolling partner. The twilight makes shadows dance among the trees and crags, a flock of bird Pokémon disappears over the...
Chapter 1
The Poké Balls felt impossibly heavy in my hands. Not with weight, but with the knowledge of a life I'd never wanted, a future I had, in fact, actively worked to prevent. I, Thalia Clariday, turned mine over and over, the cool, smooth plastic a dull, familiar object. It was a product...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: An Earthen Awakening(Revised)
Jacob's eyelids felt heavy, his mind a foggy haze until a sudden, jarring sensation of cold air and the scent of damp earth shocked him back to awareness. He inhaled deeply, the crisp oxygen filling his lungs with a clarity he hadn't known he was missing. When his eyes finally opened, the world...
Threadmarks: Chapter 1: Being a Pokémon Trainer Meant a Lot
Chapter 1: Being a Pokémon Trainer Meant a lot
When mythical creatures roam the world alongside your average magic caster, the terminology of 'animal' just didn't work.
First the distinction came in the form of the way we communicated. Old smart people from the past would say 'language is a...
