Just a random comment, and you don't have to do this if you don't want to, but you could totally write a wrestling based story. :3 A suggestion, even, but you don't have to take it. Just thought I'd post here 'cause PXR URPG deserves more love.
Okay, I've decided. I'm not doing the Vaporeon and Luxray story just yet. Instead, I'll try for just a Mightyena. I have a pretty good (and I think original) story in mind, and I've starting writing it out a bit. Also, I agree that PXR URPG needs some love. I adore the idea of writing to win Pokemon and not having to participate in a contest to do so. I hope to submit many stories here.
Is it ninja Skarmory or Ninjask armory?

Hi my friends,
In lieu of the Winter Gifting Station, Grader Wages will come out on December 22nd. The next one will be on January 1st so we set a regular monthly schedule for the rest of the year. Make sure those logs are updated. Remember that there is a grading bonus for Secret Santa stories!
In regards to Secret Santa, you now have 6 days, until December 24th, to complete and post your Secret Santa story to one of the three forums. Gift Pokemon will be exchanged and Stocking Stuffers rolled on December 25th.

Truly An Cat 10:35 pm

Lovecraft 10:35 pm
Indeed
Truly An Cat 10:36 pm

"The Liam King" ATLiam Regan 10:36 pm
oh okay
Lovecraft 10:36 pm
Anyhow, if anybody's participating or something, just tell me. So we can maybe make a cabin for everybody or s/t. Idk
Hi!
IT appears that there were no graded stories in the month of August, so there will be no August grader wages. Let me know if you did grade something and just didn't update your log / if I missed it, and I'll get you your monies straight away!
WaR has been extended by another two weeks! Entries are now due by 11:59 P.M. CST on Monday, September 14th.
Graders, check out the Ungraded Story List. We got work to do.
Elysia is now also the Co-Head Grader, in case you haven't seen the announcement! YAY ELY! <3
Go Stories!
Remember, friends, there's onlyseventy-twookay, this picture is posted a little late and it's more like seventy and a half hours left to enter in this year's WWC! It's bound to get crazy, but don't be afraid to enter, my lovelies <3
Go Tell It on the Mountain!
(Monthly Story Discussion – July 2017)
Hi everyone! I’d like to take some time this month to talk to all of you about the ways in which you engage with other fan-fiction communities around the Internet. I think there are many opportunities out there for our players to become well-rounded writers by participating in other communities, and we can recruit new members by using our stories to evangelize!
As far as artistic communities go, I’m only familiar with DeviantArt, and that format has always seemed a little too fast-paced and visual for written works to attract attention. So, I’ve got a few questions I’d love you all to think about this month:
- What fan-fiction or other artistic sites do you visit, either to read or contribute?
- How has that site contributed to your development as a writer?
- What kind of posting format does the site use? What’s the best way to attract attention to your stories?
- How can we cross-post URPG stories to invite other users of that site to visit URPG? Would the site be open to that kind of recruitment?
As an example, whenever I post a story or piece of artwork on DeviantArt, I usually add this in the description:
Any thoughts on a sort of “standard” description we could all use for URPG stories posted across the ‘net?This story was written as a submission to the Pokémon Ultra Role-Playing Game (hence the Pokémon theme). If you like Pokemon, check us out! The Pokémon URPG uses a similar battle system to the main Pokémon games, but we integrate creative pursuits like stories, art, and role-playing into the process of capturing Pokémon to use in those battles.
You can read this and other URPG stories on Pokemon Crossroads!
I look forward to hearing your ideas!
<URPG>
