I'm Bug, 22, male.

I think it's time to say I'm done with this place, for a long time at least. No idea when I'm coming back.

Generally speaking, I'm more satisfied with life than I've been in years.

And given that I reached that point after hardly coming here for months and months on end, I've drawn a conclusion I've been sitting on for a while now:

This website doesn't make me happy. Being here, posting Smart Ash fics, it was a passion thing, now it just feels like trying to 'cash in'. Now it's just about trying over and over to get a brief hit of validation from a community with a bunch of homophobes, jerks, entitlement, people who will talk to you however they want, and people who will blatantly disrespect your wishes, your vision, and your attempts to explain yourself...

So, I'm done. I'm not doing things like that anymore. I'm not gonna deal with that anymore.


About My Writing:

If you are here because you wonder where my things are, I'm truly sorry.

I didn't stop writing.

I did move to AO3, where I have an ongoing Pokemon journey fic, but it is not Smart Ash and I will not be putting anything old there.

I think of that an account as a fresh start of sorts, so I feel conflicted about even mentioning it here at all. I'm definitely not interested in cross-posting to here.

Anyway, that account is BeetlesMcGee, and the fic is called Guide Me By Your Light. It is an Alola journey, and heavy with LGBT themes, with the main pairing being Hau/Sun, so keep that in mind if you had any interest.

If not, please, have a nice life.

Wild Boy by Shriayle reviews
While on his way to an early morning training session, Tohjo Champion and Dragon Master Lance comes across a strange assortment of creatures, including a psychic Pokémon he doesn't recognize and a young child that seems just as untamed as his companions. [A combination of the games/anime, heavy AU.]

Traveler by The Straight Elf reviews
Ash Ketchum has been determined to become the best since he was a toddler. He has his eyes set on a charmander, but a twist of fate led him to the humble Nidoran. Note: Mix between anime and the games.

Thinking Things Through by MM995 reviews
Ash wasn't moving forward as a Pokemon Trainer, his heart and guts having gotten him as far as they could. Drake of the Hoenn Elite Four saw it when they battled on his ship and decided to do something about it. Gifted with a new Pokemon, armed with a stronger mindset, it might have just been the very thing Ash needed to take another step forward into becoming a Pokemon Master.

Missed Signals, Lost Lines by Cryptographic DeLurk reviews
During his journey across Kanto, Red starts recording what other people have to say about Green in his new electronic device, the Fame Checker. "A chatty gossip like you… That thing's perfect," Green said, ignoring every truth about their situation in the process. Green/Red. A story about language disorders and social anxiety.

In a Blue Moon by Chatterchot reviews
Everyone has demons. And no matter how fast you run, they will always catch up to you in the end. A trainer with no desire to battle accidentally catches one of the most powerful Pokémon in the world. How long can she keep it safe from those whose hearts are blacker than pitch? Rating for language and eventual theme. Slow building, lots of fluff, several sucker punches.

The Chronicles of Ash Ketchum, the True Master by GlassHawk reviews
A painfully straightforward story that incorporates some of the most overused plot devices in Pokemon fanfics, all written as poorly as possible. I created this piece of perfection for my own amusement, but I figured I'd share it anyways, laugh out loud.

Palletshipping by WritingRowlet reviews
I can't think of a good title sorrysorry. Ash and Gary both have mutual crushes on each other, but neither wants to admit it. A snowy night in the Pokemon Center might fix that, though! *Fluffy* *tickles and cuddles* *plenty of cute kisses* *enjoy*

The Adventures of A Generic Mary Sue by Sheeplion reviews
Because I was bored, this thing is now a story. Witness the tale of a girl with no defined personality, journey across Kanto, meeting new friends and escaping the clutches of every single villainous team that I can remember!... Yes, it's another Mary Sue parody.

Meet Bob, the hot, cool, sexy, attractive, fingerlickin' good OC Trainer (Totally not Mary Sue) as he sets out across the land searching far and wide for Pokémon that understand the power that's inside. Has he travels to become the best, he'll meet friends and foes, WILL LOVE BLOOM? Rated T because I'm paranoid. Summary sucks STORY IS REALLY FREAKING GOOD.

Emotion by The Aura Whisperer reviews
Originalshipping. You ever said or did something that you wished you hadn't? Sometimes you just can not express how you feel, and those feelings build up inside and eventually create pain. But it doesn't mean that words are louder than actions; in fact, a simple expression can describe many features. Red just happens to this person, who's just not good with these words and is hurt.
