Starting Things Off:

I'm really excited for this story to commence! I've been throwing this idea around my brain for too long! And now I'm finally making it happen! Hope you guys enjoy it!

(Content Warning?)

Swearing: Yes. I don't intend to use it too often, but I want to be able to use it to show someone's overwhelmed or frustrated. And sure, "Pokemon's for Kids!" but also this site shows that it also really isn't.

Sexual Content: No Explicitly Sexual Content. This story won't have sex whatsoever. Maybe some rare nods in an, "Oh… That's what he means." Direction for world-building's sake, but nothing explicit.

Gore: Probably. Nothing too excessive, like limbs flying off into the abyss of space, but maybe some slightly shocking stuff like mild torture (Sounds awfully ironic, but it's the truth).

(Writing Style)

For those unfamiliar, I'm gonna be using italicized words for the personal thoughts of the characters: ie. I could go for a sandwich rather than write this A/N. he thought.

I'll sometimes throw in a "he thought" at the end of the sentence just as a refresher, but when you see italicized sentences, it's gonna be thoughts.

I'm also going to use bold letters for emphasis: ie. "Well, that's just fuckin' peachy!"

(Regarding Descriptions)

If you're wondering why I keep using references to "our world" and not theirs, ie. "…olive lizard with a steel-blue stomach…" I have a reason.

It's because I feel any description is for the reader's sake to pull them into the world: to visualize what's going on around them. And I think the best way is to make analogies for you guys to read that are simple enough to understand.

I mean, sure I could say, "She charged like a Rampardos towards the unhinged door." But let's be honest: Rampardos and the Sinnoh Region came out years ago. As such, it's probably just going to confuse people who aren't as familiar with the pokemon. So, I'm going to use something from our world that people are more use to: ie. "She charged like a Rhinoceros towards the unhinged door." Just makes it easier on people in the long-run.

And of course, the story will have it's own jargon, such as slurs and basic pokemon things people are familiar with, but when describing, I think it'll be easier in the long-run to use earth-world nouns and such.

(Ganderosa)

It's not coming back. I tried multiple times to keep writing it, and I just couldn't deal with the unorganized mess I put myself in regarding the story.

It confused me, and I'm the author for pete's sake! I was worried it was confusing for the readers, as well. That, and some of the criticism I got (which is entirely welcome this time around! Hit me with your best shots!) were totally valid, and it was frustrating that I couldn't really do anything with them. And… yeah… That was frustrating.

But I'm rambling, now. I just wanted to say that Ganderosa is over. If someone wants to pick it up, go ahead. Wanna rewrite it? I'm fine with that, too. As for me, it's not happening. :P

(Wrapping up)

Something I want to do for visual aesthetics (something that doesn't care about) is include a link to a google doc at the start of every chapter that has the chapter written up in a format I'm happy with. I'll still have the story on this site, but I'd like to at least give people the option of seeing the visual appeal of the document's format.

And the last thing is: I want the first chapter posted later today, if not later this week. So follow and favorite! Spread the word! It's gonna be fun!
