Welcome to Bulbagarden’s Writer's Workshop Directory! The purpose of this thread is to create a catalogue of fics in the Workshop to allow for easy browsing. The fics will be sorted by genre, so if you want to read Fantasy fics, for example, just scroll down to that point in the Directory and all the Fantasy stories will be listed alphabetically in that section.
So how does this work? It’s simple. All you need to do is fill out the form below and post it in a reply to this thread. In the same way, if you want to update an existing entry, just fill out the form again with the new information and specify that it’s an update rather than a new entry. When the mods check the thread, they'll take that information and edit it into the Directory. Your story won't be listed if you don't want it to be, but we would recommend using this as new users regularly check here for work.
For completed fics in the Archive, please visit the sister thread here. If you finish a fic and want it moved from this Directory to the Archive one, please post here with the new link once your fic has been moved and specify you’d like it switched.
So, here’s the form you’ll need to fill out:
Author name:
Fic name: (link required)
Summary: (max. 80 words)
Fandom*: (Pokemon/Original/Other)
Genres: (pick up to three)
Canon*: (Game/Anime/Manga/AU/Mixed)
Type*: (One-shot/chapter fic/poetry thread)
Rating: (E/T/M)
(Fields marked with an asterisk are optional, but recommended.)
The resulting Directory entry will look something like this:
How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps (M) by AceTrainer14 [Pokemon, Game]:
Bitter, rebellious, sarcastic: Alaska Acevedo never wanted to save the world. When she left home on her journey, she only wanted to prove you don’t need a starter to become a Champion. But as Alaska blogs her way across Kanto, she is drawn into a web of revenge, violence and manipulation, and learns that she must become a hero. Unfortunately, that means she must become the hero of someone else’s story. [Chapter fic]
Here is the list of genres that are available to choose from (Remember that you can choose a maximum of three):
If there’s a genre you think should be included, please mention it and I’ll consider adding it to the list. This is by no means an exhaustive list, because too many genres will cause confusion. I am willing to add a few more if they’re necessary, though.
As this is a rebooted thread, you will have to resubmit your entries from the previous thread. We have rebooted it due to a mix of the old thread becoming very overcrowded and the links were broken. If you would like your story to remain in the Directory, you can simply copy and paste across your old submissions. I have doubled the amount of words allowed to give people the option of broader descriptions, but do not feel obliged to hit the maximum.
For the time being, we are willing to accept any ongoing story and include it in this list. However, in a few months time, if stories have not been updated for over a year they will be removed from this list, so keep on top of your writing if you want to stay in here. One-shots and recently concluded stories can remain in this thread for up to six months after their conclusion and then will be moved to the Archive; if they are more than six months old, they won't be accepted into this thread.
We mods promise to keep on top of updating this, but if the Directory goes more than a week without being updated please feel free to message one of us directly.
Feel free to ask any questions you have about the system in this thread. Happy browsing!
