Well, I want a name that begins with the "k" or hard "c" sound, and I'd like it to have to do with a plant, maybe a play on words or something.

Obviously, it's for the female protagonist of the fanfic I'm planning.

Hm. Would you mind if it was an actual plant? Because this website lists plant/flower names for people: Flower Plant and Tree Names for Girls

If you want it to be a play on words - how are you thinking? Like, naming her something related to lotus, which is related to shyness and having her actually be really outgoing or...?

Hey everyone! Sorry for not being on a lot in the past couple weeks, just been busy with writing and pretty much chilling away my summer vacation. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about y'all though ;)

So how goes everyone's respective writing projects? I have in mind 3 or 4 one shots that'll be released and my new Requiem fic will be out in another week or so. Updates will be more frequent too because it'll be pre-written. I also have in mind two other ideas for two other fics in the Requiem series. All of this, out by the end of the summer.

How goes all of your lives? This song has been stuck in my head all day: Me Gusta Song - YouTube

Well I guess I should apolgize fro my sudden disappearance as well.

I too am working one a one shot project for my fic and I'm also working thing sout with the two I have, though writing in a mini laptop is still annoying as all hell.

That being said I've actually regained interest on an old fic I had that has been dead for like a year. I had this Black and White fic that unlike most of my stories was actually pretty well planned, but it died because I didn't have any of the small stuff prepared; you know those moments that don't really matter but you have to go through anyways.

Good to see again, Red.

I'm currently writing the first chapter of a new fic, trying to edit and improve a chapter before posting it from my old fic, as well as considering improving (I've actually done that partially) older chapters in the specific fic. However, I'm stuck with what the name of the new fic should be, because there's already something else in the internet with the same name it currently has, and I suspect many users in the Bulbagarden forum know it.

As for my life, I'm in a great mood right now because my mom returned home from the hospital yesterday :)

Is there some event going on that I don't know about for BW2 that explains why a lot of mods are becoming Gym Leaders and Rockets?

Slowly, but surely. I wish I could get things done faster, but life has to be so busy lately. :|

Why couldn't my life have been busy when I had nothing going on? >:|

Yeah that's what I always say when I get busy. Especially now since exams are coming for me too sadly.

Some are E4 members too, lol. But I don't know why. Maybe some of us regular members ought to join in. :p

My favorite leaders and E4 members are all guys though... Roark, Cilan, Flint. xP I do like Jasmine and Fantina too though, maybe I'd go with one of them.

I used to RP a lot. I still would, if I hadn't gotten permanently banned from the forum I RP'd at. It's a shame, the site's RP section was awesome. But people there liked to pick on me and make me look like a bad guy. I was annoying and immature at first, but I changed and people wouldn't accept it. I started getting punished for offenses that others committed as well and got away with. The offense that got me banned? I got into a fight with another member and we both said nasty things to each other, but only I was punished. She didn't even get so much as a warning. And the staff used my "past offenses" as an excuse to make it a permaban.

Past offenses my ass. I was banned four times before that, and I admit I deserved the first one, but the second one was an accident because I was infracted for the same offense twice (an honest mistake by a moderator), the third was an admin being a dick (his reason was literally so I wouldn't come back), and the fourth I didn't even deserve because the infraction that brought my point count to ten was given to me for shit reasons. I was accused of doing "Youtube spam" when I KNOW I gave reasoning for the TWO videos I posted, and I wasn't even the only one to do that. Hell, some people who didn't even get warned only posted videos and that's it! No text at all! And people even fought for me during both this incident AND when I was permabanned. One of these people even used to hate me, but then realized that I was a good person! But their actions, unfortunately, weren't enough.

I was a target of these mods who liked to abuse their power on members who had bad pasts at the site, like me. A victim of staff abuse. This is a reason I tried to become a mod here. So I could prevent the same thing from happening on Bulbagarden. People looked down on me before they even got to know me because of what happened. Absolutely no one should have to go through that.
