    Well... I suppose this is a good chance for me to show off a fanfiction I am writing. It is kind of like Total Drama, except with Pokémon. It kind of started after watching Total Drama Pahkitew Island and thinking that I could design better and more believable characters and a better overall story. At first I felt like I was doing that, but now... now I feel like I'm running out of ideas. Still, I try my hardest to think of good ideas in the story. If you want to read it, it's here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10599159/1/Quarantine-A-PokemonMD-Reality-Show

    ...Yes, I also go by the name Lasirus there. I'm also a Subeta fan, and my favorite character from Subeta happens to be Lasirus. I adore that little guy, and he kind of started a bat obsession for me.

    Right now I have nine characters left and I'm not sure what to do with them. I want to keep some of the unlikeable characters around to keep the story interesting, but I'm not sure who I want to make the two possible winners. Like Total Drama, I will have two alternate endings where one of two characters could win. But right now I have four characters I want to take to the final two, and am not sure which two to take. I don't want to just bring the characters I like the most, because it feels a bit biased to do so.

    Wow this is a great idea for a fanfic! I'm not a fan of Total Drama myself, but I know a few people who are, so I might tell them about it. ;)

    Thanks, I hope they enjoy it.

    I really do like writing parts with Muffy in them for some reason. Maybe because I relate to her wanting to stand up to bullying and I also enjoy her habit of talking in third person. Still, not sure I want her to actually win. I want the winner to make sense.

    New chapter uploaded and should be available soon. ...This time I got rid of a character I felt overstayed his welcome, and I just ran out of uses for him. Also, I took a chance and made a chapter that had more action than story, but I tried to fit in character interaction when I could.

    Also in the story, a new possible relationship brewing, a rivalry with a burning fire, and... I am starting to feel like I'm using Muffy too much, at least at the start of the story. ...Also if you hadn't guessed "Wrenchers" is a spoof of the musical Grease. ...You know, because Drenig's a greaser? Of course he'd be into those kind of movies. Also the scene with him and Aria singing together, I can just imagine that being cute.

    Of course we care :) I like this idea for a fanfiction. Gotta say I would have to probably adapt it for myself.

    Aww, thanks.

    Anyway, the next chapter should be up soon. Right now I am trying to figure out who I want to actually win, and I have three different candidates. I'm not saying who they are, so I guess time will tell.

    Also, I am planning on having a contest after I finish the story, but I'm worried about it. I'm worried that if I ban certain Pokémon from being drawn, no one will enter, but I'm worried if I DON'T, then that's all I get for contest entries. For example, I plan on disallowing Vulpix, Eevee, Lucario, Absol, and generally the ones that I see not just most often, but are usually the ONLY Pokémon I ever see in RPs. But again, I'm worried if I ban them, no one will join.

    In addition, I plan on redrawing the characters I have on FurAffinity. Most of them came out a bit bad. Muffy, Drenig and Jet for example look pretty bad. Drenig's SUPPOSED to be above average weight for his species, but it doesn't show in his drawing. Muffy's arm is seriously messed up, and Jet has very poor anatomy too. ...Of course I am not looking forward to drawing Jet because I really REALLY dislike the Greninja line.

    Should be a new chapter... once again not that anyone cares.

    I know I said the contestants would be treated to videos of their family, but I changed it to how Survivor does it.

    Bashing yourself that no one cares is bad self-pity, And destroys your morale, just don't do it! D:
    Not everyone that checks your fanfic is going to be an forum member, and if they are, they won't ALWAYS leave comments.

    If I don't say something like "Not that anyone cares," then no one comments. I do a lot of things online, but it almost always goes ignored unless it angers someone. For once I'd just like to be... reccognized for something.

    Anyway, new chapter released yesterday, forgot to update the Lake Valor topic. Also still considering the contest. I wonder who I could get to join.

    I'd agree with Derahex. Used to humble myself quite a bit a long way's back.
    It's kinda like bumming a dollar off people. One doesn't really earn what they receive for doing it.

    Even today, two years later, I'm still not as popular as I'd've wanted. But the way I see it, for me at least, fanfiction is not about being popular or achieving something great like that. It's merely having fun getting one's wild ideas down on paper. At first, it may not be great--everyone starts out like that! What makes the difference for people is how they choose to harness their loneliness.

    One can harness their troubles as fuel, inspiration to drive further, write better. Or one can simply give up. Either way, we carve out our own lonely corner in the vast thing that is the internet.

    Things will take time. One cannot expect a dozen reviews in a mere week. Self-pity won't do it. Only patience, persistence, perseverance, and a drive to better oneself will.

    I shall leave this post at that. Happy living! ( ^ ^)

    Yeah, I guess you do have a point.

    Anyway, chapter 18, AKA the finale should be up soon. At first I wanted to end it like a Total Drama finale, but instead I decided to do something rather different. I hope you like the ending I decided to go with.
