I ship it.

I call bull.

 

[AceTrainer14]

I volunteer as tribute.

You did do a fairly accurate job of describing our fics in one sentence a few months back. It would be interesting to see what you did lumping them all together - though interesting in a terrifying way

Well, it doesn't look like Microsoft Paint to me, so...

 

[Kelleo]

After waiting over five months, I finally got my preordered Ike Amiibo yesterday! SO HAPPY. :3 He's my favorite (besides Luigi)! <3

I need to go back to writing though, I spent so much time keeping an ear out for the phone call to pick it up as well as refreshing Amazon for a Marth at MSRP (which I got as well, wee!). I'm gonna try to write a lot today, tomorrow, and over the weekend.

 

[Dieter]

Too bad I don't own anything you can do things with with Amiibo, cause they're really cute

Also, I've been meaning to read stuff you guys wrote for a long time now, but some things are kinda long and intimidating? How are you on short stories? (I guess I have commitment issues when it comes to reading and anything artistic XD)

 

[Beth Pavell]

Short, what is this heresy.

I have two short story ideas in the pipeline, things being as they are I haven't really been able to work on them with any zeal

 

[Persephone]

Depends upon how short you want. Out of stuff that got to the voting rounds in the awards cycle last time you have... oh god, rec drop coming.

Spoiler

Journey Fics:
How to Conquer Kanto in Eight Easy Steps: LONG.
The Long Walk: Mid-length. You could still probably get through it in a day or two if you put in moderate effort. ~100k words, probably.
Vaira: Slightly longer than The Long Walk.
Unpredictable: LONG
But Thou Must!: Short

Dark:
Galactic: HOLY HELL THIS IS LONG
Survival Project: Moderate-short.
Poison Touch: Short

Alternate:
Pokemon Academy: LONG
Storm Island: Moderate-Long
Communication: Moderate (I think)
Vivillon Writes Poetry: Short
Hard Reset: Literally a one-shot

Expansion:
Dawn of Darkness: Moderate-Long
Deep Space: ...short in word count, but it still might take a while to get through...

Non-Pokemon/Crossover:
{some of its hearts}: Short
Origin the Rising: Short

So you actually do have short and mid-length options here. Just a few really long stories mixed in.

 

[Lugion]

One day, Stainless Steel will be long.

You guys just be glad that I dropped the pretense of having to do something big and important in literally every location.

 

[kintsugi]

haha galactic

...that killed me ;-;

 

[Beth Pavell]

The Long Walk is about 66,000 words at the moment

And what the hell, avatar change

 

[AceTrainer14]

If it ever gets a poster/promotional material, I'm quoting you

You don't even have Smash Bros.? Aw. D:

And yeah, the length of the fics here vary greatly. Some are really long, like my FE: Dawn of Darkness, while others are just one-shots.

 

[Lord Kyuubi]

I wrote a short, just over 20-page thing once as a sort of spin-off/prequel of my main story in between finishing my first draft and starting the rewrite. It wasn't very good. I'll probably rewrite that too at some point, maybe.

My main story though is not at all short - I'm nearly at the 200-page mark, though I only have about five or six chapters left to go. So the end is kind of in sight, actually now I think about it. No idea what I'll do once I've finished that, though. Write something else, I guess? Hmm...

What'll you do once you finish it? You'll upload it, of course!
