Deviation Actions
I've been thinking I should do this for a while, but I keep neglecting to. Anyway, here's a who's who of the best deviants I follow and why they might be worth your watchlist too:
CarlottaStudios is a really good author. She gave me some feedback and encouragement when I was just starting to post literature stuff. I enjoy most of what she writes, even if it's fanfiction for something I know nothing about (like Stormhawks). She's done a lot of good stuff, but here are a few that get my special recommendation:
<da:thumb id="519380483"/> <da:thumb id="569084230"/>
ZaneusNova has been a writing buddy of mine (for lack of a better term) for nearly a year now. We proofread each other's stuff before it goes public on deviantArt, and I really appreciate all the help and encouragement he's given me. If you're reading this journal, there's a fair chance you know me from my Tyler's Search Pokemon fanfic. Well, he's the one who approves each chapter. ZaneusNova has also been doing his own Pokemon epic. It started with Strength of Spirit and continues now with Emerging Darkness, Awakened Light. He delves deeply into good and evil and his emotional portayals of characters are amazing. I also appreciate his strong Christian morals.
This isn't all about literature stuff. Velvet-Rainbow has been doing a comic called Hanging in the Balance following his character Miku (who's her own Pokemon species, Zuctuveil) through a PMD adventure. Velvet-Rainbow's characters are enamoring and her art style is fantastic and getting better. I think what really does it for me is the way she uses light in her works. Some of my favorite works/pages:
Bluekiss131 has taken "dawww" and raised it to an art form. Her use of light and shading is impeccable and her little slice-of-life scenes are simply adorable. She's currently in school to become a professional artist (I think). Just try and tell me these aren't adorable.
Last but certainly not least is LeikoTanaka6. She's entirely an author, and what caught my attention was the Pokemon fanfic she wrote entitled Chance. It's about Evelyn (basically the protagonist of Diamond/Pearl), but with everything going wrong. Team Galactic wins. At the last moment, Evelyn gets the chance to do it all over. The writing style and grammar (very important, you need good grammar) are great in these and the storyline is a lot better than most of what I see these days.

Zane's Big Day
The sun shined into the room of a young shiny eevee named Zane, illuminating everything and waking him. He slowly got up out of bed annoyed at the sun for waking him up so early. Darn sun, couldn’t you have waited five more minutes. He yawned and stretched his legs. As he did, a sweet aroma reached his nose. “Mmmm.” Mom must be making pancakes. He started toward the doorway when, before exiting his room, it dawned on him what today was. This realization fueled him with energy from joy and excitement. Unable to contain this sudden energy boost, he ran out of his rom, through the hallway and living room, and into the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, he tried to stop, but was moving so quickly that he ended up sliding on the smooth tiled floor and slid right into the dining table.
“Zane, slow down. I know you’re excited since it’s your birthday, but be careful sweetheart,” a feminine voic

Chance: PrologueLiana's shoulders heaved up and down. Cuts laced her body, black fur long since congealed with blood. "Thunderbolt!" I yelled, voice hoarse from the eleven other pokemon my team had battled already.
"Body slam," Mars ordered.
My luxray gathered electricity in her fur, but before she could manage anything more, the purugly smashed his body into her. A crack. A yowl. Silence.
"Activate the Red Chain," Mars commanded, turning back towards the heart of Spear Pillar. Her tone was slow, unexcited, like battling me had not worried her to begin with.
I returned Liana to her pokeball. A pair of grunts wrestled it and five other pokeballs from me. My expression (or lack thereof) didn't change as I sank to my knees. It hadn't changed for weeks, really… not since…
I bit my lip, trying to squash down the memory that was surfacing once again. Jupiter, who'd lost the last of her pokemon several minutes ago, handed her pokeballs to a grunt for healing.
"Man, after all she's done, I'm so gl

On Horizons: A TED talk, maybe
Horizons are an interesting concept, because they are always horizontal. You can laugh, but this is important. We don't have horizons up or down, only sideways. We like them that way. They're exciting, because they're all the way out there as far as we can see—but they're also safe, because we can look at them and say, "That's it. That's where my world ends." We don't have to deal with the stuff beyond that horizon. It's somebody else's problem, at least until it crosses the horizon and becomes our problem. We don't like it when things do that. All this stuff still applies when we're talking about figurative horizons, like, say, scientific horizons. Even when people decided to push the boundaries, we say they're expanding our horizons. The horizon isn't gone, it's just bigger and there's more stuff inside it now. And some of that stuff is usually uncomfortable and scary, and because we just moved the horizon and if we've learned one thing over thousands of years of history, it's
Tyler's Search QandA
As those of you who have been following me for a while know, I've been writing a massive fanfiction (massive on the order of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix going by wordcount) about an eevee named Tyler who loses his family to pokemon trainers.
That story is now finished; the epilogue is here.
The purpose of this journal is that with Tyler's Search done, I am now ready to answer any and all questions you might have about it. If you haven't read it beware, I'm expecting lots of spoilers. I'm not holding anything back here, there are no secrets I need to keep now. If you want to know, ask, if I have an answer you'll get it. I won't
Offering OC Eevee Evolution stories - two left!
Hey everyone! A while ago I started a project writing an evolution story for each form of Eevee, taking OC requests. I've finished five, but I still have t̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ two openings: J̶o̶l̶t̶e̶o̶n̶ (requested by Diamond-Ruby-Crystal (https://www.deviantart.com/diamond-ruby-crystal)), Flareon, and Leafeon. If you have an OC of one of these you'd like to have a story for, comment here or on the main project page:
My conditions are that they have to be normal Pokemon - no anthro, gijinka, or Pokemon High-type characters. I also won't do mature content or excessively dark stuff. Until I've put a name up on the main page, my decision i
TS rewrite nearly complete
Chapters 1-5 are done, chapter 6 is at about the 80% mark. A few more edits to bring later chapters into line with some of the details I introduced or clarified and I'll be ready to take Tyler's Search forward! Also I may or may not have chapter 28 half done already.
