    Take us on a brief tour before focusing in one your character. I've seen it done well before. Have you ever seen a pokemon fanfic that dodges the journey/trainer/pokewar idea in favor of stylized pulp, perhaps swords and science?

    Thank you for the link. My fan fiction is set in the WOTC era TCG universe. This universe is built from the scant bits of flavor that were given in the WOTC Pokémon TCG sets. Here, the Rockets seem to be semi-competent, as there's a Rocket's Scyther, Rocket's Hitmonchan, Rocket's Snorlax...

I have a situation similar to the FR where an old King and Queen are overthrown and a new Queen rises to take the...

    How lengthy should a flashback be, and at what point in the story should I use a flashback? I know there must be a flashback trigger; say my character comes across the trigger in the middle of an action scene. Should I throw in the flashback right then and there, or should I wait until the...

    Re: getting back into writing... Make a vague outline. Try to split your main idea into 3 sub points. Make each sub point a "Part". Then break up the goal of each "Part" into Chapters. This gives you some leeway in writing your way through each chapter to the goal of each "Part."
