OldSchoolJohtohide bio
 Author has written 3 stories for Pokémon. She / Her I type a lot of reviews and comments on my phone. Autocorrect and I aren't friends, so please give me the benefit of the doubt -- if there are some really strange word choices happening and another word that's a few letters off would make more sense, go ahead and assume I meant that one. Cheers. Here's what you're getting into: I write pokemon fan fiction. I'm interested in themes of isolation, wilderness, technology, & fame. I like love stories too, including ones where it doesn't work out. My trainers are all at least 18 - I figure running around the wilderness with magical monsters is at least as dangerous as buying cigarettes or joining the army. And anyway, from my perspective, 18 is still practically a baby. My stories are on the back, back, back burner...but I am still working on them, slowly but surely. Nothing is abandoned. Promise. About Spring: Thanks so much to everyone who's been reading here and there! I know it's really slow-paced -- maybe someday after I finish this draft I'll redo the beginning -- and I know my updates are also slow, so thank you for lending me your faith. Right now, I expect this story to end at about 20 chapters or 100k words. The tentative table of contents is on my website (see below) if you want a teaser of where this thing is headed. About Postcards: (Previously called Travelogue.) Planning for a total of 17 vignettes at about 10k words. DM me for my Pokemon Go ID and maybe I'll send you goodies from Philly!

No time for rookie mistakes here: he's on a quest to discover the true nature of Pokémon, and maybe even find out where they really come from.
