PokéFiends |
|
PokéFiends is an open and expansive multi-region Pokémon roleplay that welcomes both canon and original characters. From the regions in the main games, the anime and side games, and even a bit more, you can travel anywhere. Be wary, a darkness lurks in the night, a sinister creature haunts the edges of the moonlight. Turmoil brews, traveler, so take your first step with caution. |
Four months ago, terror held the world in stand still. The attacks on both Saffron and Castelia have concluded... and despite the growing darkness, the people of the world band together to throw an event in the spirit of world unity and the courage to stand against this new foe.

The season is currently Spring. There winter snows have thawed and new growth springs up across the world. Periodically, chill remains in the air, but never for long does it hang about. |

![]() Seafoam has arrived! The contest has been extended to August 30th Seafoam is opening, and to make this a really huge kick-off, I decided to host some contests, with prizes. Because prizes are awesome, and who doesn't like free stuff? The rules and contests are outlined below - read, enter, enjoy! Judging will be finished by July 31st, with winners announced on August 1st. BASIC RULES 1. Take these things seriously. If I find you're just messing with them to screw up other people's fun, you'll be disqualified from every contest for the next three months. 2. You are allowed to enter all of the contests. 3. Be polite and ask all questions here. Do not PM me with questions, because they may solve stuff for other members in this case. 4. Please post all of your entries (be they haiku, phrases, or other) in one post, preferably the first post you make in this thread. It's easier for the judges that way. BEACH HAIKU The object of this contest is to write a haiku. Haiku are a type of poem, you may be familiar with them, which is simple and short. They're composed of, traditionally, three lines with alternating amounts of syllables. The first line is five syllables, the second line is seven, and the third and final line is again five syllables. There are variations of this, and Wikipedia notes them, but for this contest's sake, 5-7-5 is the best way to go. Now that we've got the introductory out of the way, onto the theme. Generally, haiku are nature or seasonal. This time around, the theme is beaches, or you can do something beach activity related. Entries are graded based on coherency to this theme. It does not have to involve Pokémon unless you want it to and lack there of Pokémon will not penalize you. Rules: 1. You may enter up to three haiku, but only your best will win you a prize and you will only win one prize, not all three. 2. If you enter one haiku at first, then make another one, edit your first post. 3. If you want to edit your haiku, edit it in your post, do not re-post it. Prizes: Seafoam the Squirtle, Savannah the Totodile, and Aquamarine the Mudkip. The 1st place winner gets first pick, the 2nd place winner receives the second pick and the 3rd place winner receives the third Pokémon. ONE SHOT A one shot is the typical name for a fan fiction that stands alone; basically, it starts, happens and finishes all in a single "chapter." Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a one shot for this contest. The theme is a trek through the islands. You are allowed to use any canon or original Pokémon character you want, it's completely up to you and you do not have to be their RPer. (It goes without saying that our short stories should have content that abides InvisionFree's rules concerning mature content.) I really hate putting word limits on things, also, but to avoid having horribly short one-shots, I'm going to set the bar at 1,000 words minimum roughly. If you feel you can achieve a good story in less, you are welcome to try, but I would really prefer something more fleshed out plot wise than that, if it's going to be bare bones at less than 1,000. Rules: 1. You may enter two one shots, but only your best will win you a prize and you will only win one prize, not all of them. 2. If you want to go back and make changes, you are more than welcome up until the 30th, but please, edit your first post. Prizes: Honeysuckle the Bulbasaur, Pecha the Chikorita, and Maize the Treecko. The 1st place winner gets first pick, the 2nd place winner receives the second pick and the 3rd place winner receives the third Pokémon. ONE SHOT - PART TWO A one shot is the typical name for a fan fiction that stands alone; basically, it starts, happens and finishes all in a single "chapter." Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a one shot for this contest. The theme is Evening Beach Bonfire. You are allowed to use any canon or original Pokémon character you want, it's completely up to you and you do not have to be their RPer. (It goes without saying that our short stories should have content that abides InvisionFree's rules concerning mature content.) I really hate putting word limits on things, also, but to avoid having horribly short one-shots, I'm going to set the bar at 1,000 words minimum roughly. If you feel you can achieve a good story in less, you are welcome to try, but I would really prefer something more fleshed out plot wise than that, if it's going to be bare bones at less than 1,000. Rules: 1. You may enter two one shots, but only your best will win you a prize and you will only win one prize, not all of them. 2. If you want to go back and make changes, you are more than welcome up until the 30th, but please, edit your first post. Prizes: Cinder the Charmander, Ember the Cyndaquil, and Amethyst the Torchic. The 1st place winner gets first pick, the 2nd place winner receives the second pick and the 3rd place winner receives the third Pokémon. SONGS Take any beach or nature type song out there and put it into Pokémon terms! Entries will actually be graded on how well the new terms keep the pace of the original song. Best of luck! Rules: 1. You may enter up to three songs, but only your best will win you a prize and you will only win one prize, not all of them. 2. If you enter one carol at first, then make another one, edit your first post. 3. If you want to edit your carols, edit it in your post, do not re-post it. Prizes: Dogwood the Turtwig, Son the Chimchar, and Tanzanite the Piplup The 1st place winner gets first pick, the 2nd place winner receives the second pick, and the 3rd place winner receives the third Pokémon. CAPTION CONTEST The point of this is to use a base image and put a caption on it, in the sense of a LOLCats or a Demotivational image or such. There is no theme other than humor. You will not be graded on what program or font you use and such. Use Paint if you like, and do not fear that it will count against you, for it will not. The base image for this contest is below. ![]() Rules: 1. You may enter up to three captions, but only your best will win you a prize and you will only win one prize, not all of them. 2. If you enter one caption at first, then make another one, edit your first post. 3. If you want to edit your caption, edit it in your post, do not re-post it. Prizes: Bluegrass the Snivy, Ashes the Tepig, and Oceanus the Oshawott. The 1st place winner gets first pick, the 2nd place winner receives the second pick and the 3rd place winner receives the third Pokémon. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Generally, when there are twice to three times the amount of entrants as there are prizes for a particular contest, I will expand the prize pool. This does not mean that we make new Pokémon, but rather "duplicates." A good example of this is the white Sneasels from days past. The Sneasel was so wanted that we added alternate versions of it, two more with different colored feathers, so that more people could win and less people would be left out in the end. Anyone that participates will receive this achievement on their profile. The Aquamarine and Pearl Lapras. |
