Obsolete: Writers' Workshop Directory

[Misfit Angel]

Welcome to the Writers Workshop Directory! This thread is dedicated to maintaining a catalogue of active stories that are written by our community members. Stories will be categorized by genre and rating, so if you're looking for an EVERYONE rated journey fic, you'll quickly be able to find one!

Due to the age of the previous directory, this one is starting fresh. Recent submissions to the old directory have been included. Please check carefully before submitting your story to see if it's already on the list somewhere!

Being featured
Want your story featured on the directory? It's as simple as filling out the following information and posting it in this thread!

Author name: Your name here.
Story name: With a link to the story.
Quick summary: A maximum of 150 words.
Fandom: Which fandom your story belongs to: pokemon, other or original.
Genres: Pick up to three from the list at the bottom. If your story is non-pokemon, that can be attached as a fourth free genre.
Canon: Which canon ruleset your story follows: Games, Anime, Manga, Mixed, or Custom.
Type: Whether it is a oneshot, a chapter story or a poetry/short story compilation.
Rating: EVERYONE, TEEN or MATURE.
Related works: If your story has any related works (prequels, sequels and spinoffs), you can link them here.

Helping us to maintain the directory
There are a few ways to help us maintain the directory:

• If you have finished your story and some time has passed, let us know that you'd like your story moved to the archive. The entry on this list will be transferred over to the archive's directory.
• It's always a hard decision to make, but if you know without a shadow of a doubt that you've cancelled a story that's in progress, please let us know. Like above, we'll move it to the archive and transfer your entry to the archive's directory.
• Has your story changed significantly? We can update your entry with a new summary, any changed genres, a change in rating, add related works and even its type if you've decided to take a oneshot and extend it.

Does the Writers Workshop Archive have its own directory?
It does! However, it's a little worse for the wear and out of date. It will be updated to look similar to this one soon.

Categories
Now, let's get onto the categories! Click the images below to be taken to their respective entries, which are divided up into content ratings.

Feel like we're missing a category? This list isn't particularly exhaustive, but let us know and we'll discuss whether there's enough potential to justify including it.

More!
Are these categories looking a little slim? The old directory is still available for viewing!

KAIJUMON by Snuggle Tier List [EVERYONE] [Franchise: Pokemon] [Canon: Custom] [Chaptered]

Dramedic, cynical, idealistic, applicable, satirical, doesn't-waste-your-time short-ish story about a mother, her son, his best friend that's slightly a kaiju, and how the outside world reacts to their existence. Starts in full parody mode and gets more serious as tension rises/the characters develop, but always keeps a smirk. Inspirations include The Little Prince, Sir Terry Pratchett, Shadow of the Colossus, and the very special episodes of Mister Roger's Neighborhood. Originally published as a four-chapter story, now available in optional single-chapter format. Makes a decent appetizer for the Snuggles literary bibliography; not too short, not too long. Juuuuust right.​

Snowfall by UselessBytes [EVERYONE] [Original] [Real World] [Chaptered]

Between dealing with Tourette’s Syndrome, struggling with college classes, and trying to keep his relationship together, he’s got a full plate. The problem is, he’d rather be on the mountain forgetting all of his problems rather than tackling them head on.​
