I've officially decided to start working on a Pokémon fanfic of my own as of about an hour ago. I have no idea what it will exactly be about, other than it being a Pearlshipping story. I think I have now read just about all of the Pearlshipping stories on fanfiction.net and a few other sites that I would consider well written and with a good plot, and I've only seen crap the last day or so. And while there are several good fanfics out there, there just hasn't been one that's exactly what I want out of Pearlshipping, so I decided to do one myself. I'm a big fan of writing/reading, the Pokémon games, and good grammar. I also want to base this off of canon events, so I think it will take place after a certain point in the anime. I'm thinking of placing the plot somewhere after Ash returns to Kanto from his Unova journey and going from there at the moment. Not sure if I want an alternate version of Ash's Kalos journey, but I did have an idea to create an entirely new region on Pokearth so I'd have all of the creative freedom I could need. Like I said, I made up my mind to do this literally an hour before I posted this, so we're in super mega ultra pre-alpha stages at this point. If anyone has an idea they would want to see in a Pearlshipping story, let me know with a reply or PM! Collaboration is one of the best ways to gather ideas! I'm definitely making the plot my own, but it's always the smaller parts of a good story that sell the universe as believable, and that's what I'd like to do. Anyway, wish me luck! I'm off to my summer class now, hopefully I won't be late from taking too much time to post this

If you ever get stuck you can always watch the DP episodes again or have a look at other canon material like Manga. Always helps me when I'm in a writing slump. We're quite lucky that the episodes are availible online and still on air.

But from your poem, I'm sure whatever you write will be great That's okay, but can someone at least teach me how fanfiction.net works? I can't even make a new story right now? REALLY?! What? I can post poems? Well, I know what I'm first putting up there.

I had a really good idea for a fanfic based on the Pearl Advice Thread NovaStorm made for Pearlfest but I wasn't quite sure about how to do it. I know I definitely want it to involve Miette attempting to sabatoge Ash and Dawn's friendship, but Im not sure where to start it.

I know I definitely want it to involve Miette attempting to sabatoge Ash and Dawn's friendship, but Im not sure where to start it. This is a bit late but I only just noticed no one ever replied, so I would say first you want to consider whether this will fit with the canon timeline or what. Do you want Dawn to meet up with Ash in Kalos? Does Miette manage to sabotage it, and how will they salvage the situation? You want to get all the general plot points ready before you start writing at all. And if you want to keep asking us for advice over the long term and duration of the story, I would suggest you make a thread for your fic and post links to each chapter you write or write drafts of each chapter on your thread to keep us updated and for us to give you advice.
