Ever read "The Emerald League"? That story became a forum all to itself. It ended up being closed after... remind me again, I think 1000 posts? By Damian SilverBlade. Most of the thread was readers and writer chatting about the latest chapter than actual threads being posted.
It had some good battling and mythology, though.


Ah, and then there was the time I stept on a bus with OzAndrew, and took part in a chain fic! And in those time I was closely following Lisa the Legend, which has since apparently become non-Pokémon related.
TEL was awesome. I don't know why I loved it so much - there wasn't inherently anything brilliant about it, at least from a writery perspective, but it was just such an engaging story and so much fun. There was such a palpable sense of adventure to it. In many regards, it was like the ultimate trainer fic. At least for me.

And the chain fic - that was the best fun! Was that in 2002ish? God, it felt like practically everyone was involved in it. It's a shame the latest one didn't take off at all.

There are still pokemon in LTL. Lurking around doing people's fighting for them. Sigh.

Now, smilie fics, they were fun as. There used to be tonnes of them. My favourite was Living in Pichu's House. The characters of LiPH were insane, but so entertaining.
