Well, the story has now begun! If you still want to join, you can, but it isn't likely that you'll be a main character, unless it fits into the story well. If you DO want to sign up, click the spoiler and give the information the questions prompt. This can either be posted here or PM'd to me. Questions? You know what to do.
Info requirements and exemplar
A- What will your Pokémon be?? (Don't be a legendary/mythical unless you're wanting a one-time appearance for a battle or something, or mentioned in some prophecy. You don't have to be a starter, though)
B- Will you be a "main character"? (As in, would you like for me to keep you in the story for a long time, or just for a season or so?)
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role?
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral?
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
1. What will your team's name be?
2. Who all is in your team? (No more than 4, please)
3. What do you explore for (I. e., do you explore for a guild, a society, yourself, what?)
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be?
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably)
H- Do you plan to evolve?
I- Home village

If I'm missing anything else, please feel free to say something!
My info:
Turtwig
Name: Ricco
Level: 6
Moveset: Tackle, Leer, Razor Leaf
Role- Good, Exploration Team (name unknown yet, will be decided upon by team, and if you want to join, say so!)
I plan to be in the story all the way through.
I do plan to evolve at some point.
I wasn't a human, and my home village would be Serene Village.
I explore for the fun of it, although I may join the Expedition Society in the future.

Quote from: braixen1264 on February 23, 2016, 06:29:30 PMPut me somewhere cool.
J-Were you a human?
Sign me up. Humans are cool.
ladies and gentlemen welcome to the umpteenth nsm video-game-based collaboration story which may or may not die out soon
Uhh...I mean...GET HYPE!
A- What will your Pokémon be?
- Haunter. Easily.
B- Will you be a "main character"?
- As much as I'd love to be, my character would fit better as a side role. See below.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role?
- I go it solo. My character is somewhat of a recluse who's shunned society because of trust/social issues. Just fightin' to survive and scare the occasional traveller.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral?
- Technically neutral, but I'm not a nice guy. You won't get any sympathy from me.
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
- N/A, obviously. I do go exploring but only as a means of survival. Or for funsies. Ghosts are scary.
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be?
- Just "The Haunter" but real name is JOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAA Hal.
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably)
- 40-ish, I guess. You get strong from living on your own. Moves include Taunt and Will-O-Wisp and Shadow Ball.
H- Do you plan to evolve?
- Nah. There's already a significant Gengar in the franchise.
I- Home village
- I don't know the Mystery Dungeon universe well enough to say which, but fortunately I don't have to live there.
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people)
- Nope. That much is certain.
A- What will your Pokémon be?
Bisharp
B- Will you be a "main character"?
Recurring supporting character who shows up occasionally. Would mostly be referenced to, with his agents appearing in his stead (might appear in person a handful of times, or once or twice a season depending on how you're going to be doing this, but would usually only interact directly with the protagonists to give them advice).
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role?
Yes and no? Bisharp is a shadowy figure, almost like a mob boss, who, for the most part, uses loyal-but-bumbling Pawniard agents to do his bidding, rarely fighting himself. When he feels the need to fight, however, he never holds back. He would probably only join the protagonists' team at the tail end of the story, if at all (depends on the direction you want to go in). During the story, the protagonists probably wouldn't realize who he is until they do something that gets in his way, and he sends his agents to (try to) stop them (his first appearance might be friendly-but-enigmatic, for example, with his agents only showing up later). Imagine something like Meta Knight in Kirby's Adventure plus G0-T0 from KotOR 2.
As a Pawniard, Bisharp used to be a mischief-maker for other Pokemon, until one day, he learned a terrible secret. Since evolving, he has wisened up and focused all his efforts into training himself to the point of deadly efficiency.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral?
Neutral, overall. Even though Bisharp's actions might often impede the protagonists' goals (or even break laws at times), he ultimately has their best interest in mind- they just might not be able to see it at the time, and for whatever reason, he wishes to remain inscrutable.
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
1. What will your team's name be?
Not really a team per-se, but his organization is known as The Initiative.
2. Who all is in your team?
Only Pawniard, except when he steps in (usually when he really means business or needs to get something done).
3. What do you explore for?
Nobody knows yet... but they might eventually...
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be?
Most people who know of his existence would call him either "Bisharp" or "Boss." His real name is Syver, although only he currently knows this.
G- Level & Moveset
Don't know about level, but his moveset is Knock Off, Iron Head, Swords Dance, and Guillotine. As I said, though, he rarely fights someone directly.
H- Do you plan to evolve?
Already evolved.
I- Home village
Unknown.
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people)
No. However, he is aware of those who are.
If this won't work, let me know, and I'll do something more basic instead.
A- What will your Pokémon be?? Drifloon!
B- Will you be a "main character"? I'd like to be, if not, I can be a recurring one.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role? Probs leading a ghost type exploration team.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral? Good.
E- If you are a member of an exploration team: Yeah, I lead one.
1. What will your team's name be? Either Team Umbra, or Team Spooky for a PMD-esque silly name.
2. Who all is in your team? Me, a Shuppet, and Misdreavus
3. What do you explore for (I. e., do you explore for a guild, a society, yourself, what?) Probs a guild of sorts. Maybe not Wigglytuff's, but we traveled to Treasure Town to become a part of it.
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be? Nebbles, duh
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably) Probably around like, 10ish? Gust and Astonish?
H- Do you plan to evolve? Hmm, unsure.
I- Home village Treasure Town
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people) Nah.
This sounds cool
A- What will your Pokémon be?? Quilava
B- Will you be a "main character"? If possible, yes. if not, side is okay. with some fries, I hope.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role? i guess i'll be part of an exploration team at first. not sure about later, i might leave it. but my ultimate goal is to find out how things work and why things happen
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral? good because i'm a good person
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
1. What will your team's name be? no clue
2. Who all is in your team? (No more than 4, please) uhh, i'd go with a team of quilava + charmeleon + bayleef + servine

chaotic neutral
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:

Davy and Brainy, both of you can be on my team.
Adding more character traits and details.
Quote from: BrainyLucario on February 24, 2016, 05:47:56 AMA: Riolu (Always carries a sun ribbon until he evolves.////Keeps a pair of headphones around his neck.)(My character would be one to rush into a situation without thinking of the effects it could have, My character also gets excited very easily, I'm also usually always bursting with energy, so My character hardly ever gets tired)
B: Main Character
C. Exploration team
D. Good
E. Don't really care what the name is. / E. Gadd (leader), me, and Davy (until he turns evil)/ explore for self
F: Brainy
G: Start at level 10, Focus palm (fighting), Bite (dark), Wide Slash (normal), Aura Sphere (Fighting)
H: Yes
I: Treasure Town
J: Yes and I have the Dimensional Scream ability. ( I see the future or past if I touch an object that correlates to the vision I see. Say I see someone getting attacked in my vision. I would have to come into contact with the attacker before I would get the vision. Does that make sense?)
So how many more people do we need for the first chapter to start?
Brainy if you're always bursting with energy, how are you supposed to never get tired?
A- What will your Pokémon be?? (Don't be a legendary/mythical unless you're wanting a one-time appearance for a battle or something, or mentioned in some prophecy. You don't have to be a starter, though)
I want to be a Charmander!
B- Will you be a "main character"? (As in, would you like for me to keep you in the story for a long time, or just for a season or so?)
I'd love to be a main character, if possible.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role?
I want to be the misguided bad guy, who's being deceived by the true baddie and then eventually learns the error of their ways, but only after they do something horrible. Think Brutus but instead of dying he decides to team up with Mark Antony.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral?
Bad at first, but then good.
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
1. What will your team's name be?
2. Who all is in your team? (No more than 4, please)
3. What do you explore for (I. e., do you explore for a guild, a society, yourself, what?)
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be?
Trains, I guess.
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably)
Level 7 at the start, but get stronger quickly. I follow the PMD2 moveset for Charmander, so Growl, Scratch and Ember.
H- Do you plan to evolve?
NO.
I- Home village
Treasure Town
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people)
Nah
Quote from: braixen1264 on February 25, 2016, 07:05:45 AMBrainy if you're always bursting with energy, how are you supposed to never get tired?
I'm full of enough energy to keep myself from being tired. The energy basically prevents me from getting tired..
A- What will your Pokémon be?? (Don't be a legendary/mythical unless you're wanting a one-time appearance for a battle or something, or mentioned in some prophecy. You don't have to be a starter, though)
None. My wavelength did not match any of the available Poké-avatars upon being interviewed by the Voices of Life, so I was allowed remain human, under the condition I never reveal my identity. As such, I sport a full-body cloak (deep viridian colored) while in public.
B- Will you be a "main character"? (As in, would you like for me to keep you in the story for a long time, or just for a season or so?)
I lurk behind the scenes, taking notes of the proceedings of the PMD world and analyzing its inner workings.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role?
I have taken up a number of research topics, most notably in the realm of dungeon research and Magnagate manipulation. I maintain a column in Pokémon News (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_News_(Mystery_Dungeon)), the Pelliper-circulated newpaper popular in the Wind Continent, in which I publish my latest findings under the pseudonym "The Seer". As a hobby, I am also in the process of compiling an anthology of local folk tunes from across the globe via aural transcription. Kricketune's choir in Lively Town would benefit greatly from this, I hope.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral?
An aloof party. However, since I maintain a regular correspondence with the presiding deities of the PMD world (notably Hydreigon) in order to collect information on the influx of human souls into the PMD universe and thereby study its effect on the world's balance, you could say I have the world's best interests at heart.
E- If you are a member of an exploration team:
N/A.
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be?
N/A.
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably)
Since I'm at an obvious physical disadvantage, I stock up thoroughly on Wands and flat-rate damage projectiles, such as Gravelrocks and Blast Seeds. Following Undertale logic, I have 20 HP.
H- Do you plan to evolve?
N/A.
I- Home village
"The other side of the sky"
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people)
Was. Am. Will be.
you spelled pelipper wrong
Bespinben, you just gave me the best intro idea I've thought of. Thanks!
ooh I get to know who bespinben is because I'm black
It's been a while since I last played a Mystery Dungeon game, so let me know if this is okay:
A) Monferno
B) Probs not. Recurring most likely
C) Owner and head chef of Café Caloroso; [HUB_TOWN]'s hottest restaurant and home of the world-famous Pecha Paella. CC is a place where many of the locals hang out, and is a good place to hear the latest gossip or receive the latest quests/missions (idk what they're called in-game)
D) Mostly neutral, though is willing to help out here or there via info, advice, etc.
E) N/A
F) Dante
G) Lv 18 ('cause you have to be at least 14 to be a Monferno), knows Scratch, Ember, and Brick Break. Though, stats aren't very high considering most of these moves are used for cooking and not fighting.
H) Nah.
I) Wherever you're setting the "hub town"
J) Nope.
We are currently at 15 participants (provided Waddle is serious)! Umm... Let's go with 5 more participants, and I'll start draft Chapter 1.
the dank lord never kids
Well, if no one else joins tonight or tomorrow, I'll start drafting the Prologue, and whoever doesn't sign up by then isn't going to be included in the Prologue, but I'll include them in the next part (if the plot would make sense like that). So to recap: March 1st is the cut-off for appearances in the Prologue (which I'll try to include everyone in). I'll have various outlines for each character to choose from, so be sure to check your inboxes on the 1st (or 2nd, depending on when I've thought of the possible plotlines your character could follow), and respond to them ASAP! Then, watch on here for the posting of the link to the Prologue. What do you guys think would be better: Google Docs or Office Word?
I think Google Docs is fine unless you don't want people clicking the link as you're typing the next chapter (assuming you put them all together, or even type it on Google docs itself instead of copy and pasting onto it)
That's ambitious that you're trying to include everyone in the Prologue! I look forward to reading it. Any chance I have to become a Pokémon is exciting.
I like Word Documents better, but either would be fine.
I don't have word.
So, both would be the best route, eh? (And Zeila, I don't exactly plan on making one MASSIVE story in a single document; I'm going to separate it by chapter so you can easily access whatever part you're at. Just to avoid annoyance)
You don't have to make a Word version. Everyone could access the Google Doc, and I can copy/paste into Word if I want.
Alright, Google Docs it is!
what's probably best is typing up the document on your computer then copy pasting it into google docs
Yeah, that's my plan
Hopefully I'm not too late m8.
A- What will your Pokémon be?? Bidoof ;)
B- Will you be a "main character"? (As in, would you like for me to keep you in the story for a long time, or just for a season or so?) I don't know, possibly, possibly not, I'd rather not be a main character, more side character but try to keep me in as long as you can plz.
C- Will you be part of an exploration team, or what will be your role? Plz put me in someone's exploration team. I am a "HM Slave". Yay.
D- Will you be good, bad, or neutral? Good.
F- What will your Pokémon's (nick/)name be? "HM Slave". But you can call him "Doof"
G- Level & Moveset (Don't be ridiculous, though. Start off reasonably) Level 8. Knows (Cut, Rock Smash, Surf and Dive) [Yes, I know only Bibarel can learn Surf and Dive but Bibarels aren't as cool]
H- Do you plan to evolve? Possibly.
I- Home village Somewhere in the wild, maybily the forest.
J-Were you a human? (I only want a few of these people) Nopey Dopey.
Doof was "befriended" by (insert team) after their other group member ran away for the better of himself. Doof was instantly turned into a HM Slave and was taught all them moves. Doof is though happy to be with them.
Pros.
-Has a helpful nature.
-Doesn't know what a "HM Slave" is.
-Is loyal to the group.
-Has good moves when there is an object (tree, rock) is the way or if there's a river.
Cons.
-Doesn't help cook dinner or clean up the dishes being the chubby bastard lil fella he is.
-Doesn't know much words anyway.
-Isn't loyal to the lord Arceus, thinks it's a load of bullocks.
-Has total crap fighting moves, couldn't fight if his life depended on it.
You're not too late! I will start drafting the prologue after school!
oh I'm kinda late but not that late
A - Latios...?
B - Sure, make me a main character.
C - I work with one other Pokémon. Preferably someone who's a human, but you choose. Secretly, separate from and guild/exploration society.
D - Has no one signed up to be the bad guy yet? I'll go for it! (But don't make me actually bad - make me have some ulterior motive for being secretive and doing shady things that will be revealed later - like Grovyle in Explorers.)
E - My team of two doesn't have our own name, but other Pokémon who have heard of us but never met us (because we're mysterious!!) can call us something/whatever you want.
- Secret. Relevant to the plot. You make it up, but make me look suspicious while doing things that actually help to keep the world running smoothly.
F - er... none that I can think of.
G - 40? Luster Purge, Fly, Recover, Dragon Pulse
H - No.
I - ...............unknown for now
J - Maybe.
Not sure if any of this makes sense, it's kinda rushed (I'm in class but wanted to get it in before you get the story all finalized). Feel free to message me about it.

This town ain't big enough fer the two of us. :P Or maybe it is. I dunno.
I think Davy signed up to be the bad guy
And I could easily end up being the bad guy too
I'd want to start as a bad guy too, but then have character development happen maybe?
Oh, hey, I started the Prologue yesterday, so inclusion in the prologue is over concerning sign-ups.
The Prologue is long. I mean, I was expecting that, but I wasn't expecting THIS. So, I'm splitting up the Prologue into two halves. Prologue P1 & P2. P1 should be out later today. I just have to edit and format everything (when I write, I write one massive paragraph, and that isn't proper conventioning).
AWWW YEAAHH!!! HYPE TRAIN! CHOO CHOO!
Check it out! Part 1 of the Prologue is UP!
(I'll edit into the OP tomorrow)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OiluhnGDSb9RdI3DvYYxh-y3WINA7lmJ_DjKgbl6YWA/edit?usp=sharing
EDIT: Crap, I forgot to reformat and such. Something else I'll do tomorrow. XD
I lost it when I read "Braix, a Fennekin"
that was short you didn't have to split em up
Hmmm... I like it so far!
I'm pretty impressed, can't wait for the next chapter!
Nice! I can't wait for the next part!
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on March 07, 2016, 06:39:18 PMthat was short you didn't have to split em up
Really? Hmmm... Well, I'll combine both parts once I finish Part 2.
Anyhoo, it's great that everyone is enjoying the story so far! Any suggestions as to what I could do better?
EDIT: Also, the OP has been updated.
I liek
It's great!
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on March 08, 2016, 07:37:53 AMReally? Hmmm... Well, I'll combine both parts once I finish Part 2.
You could definitely do this.
Just in case because it's a story
If you're the type who loves to go back and edit things a billion times (like me), it'd be nice to hear more about Trains, Braix, and Nebbles during the scene at school. They kind of "disappear" into the group, so it'd be nice to give them a few actions and little thoughts here and there.
I'm hyped to meet Arceus.
oh yeah that's a good point. I forgot they were protagonists during that part
Arceus will probably the favorite character, just saying. XD I have plans for that plot! Also, hmmmm.... You guys are right, I probably should mention them more. Alright. Once I fix up Delfino Airstrip, I'll jump to that (along with a few minor errors and touch-ups)
Arceus didn't really strike me as a deity any more than other legends did
I also love Trains' introduction.
"Battle shmattle. What do you think PE class is for?" Braix retorted.
I absolutely love this line it's perfect
Yay! It's great! One tiny quibble, looks cannot be sarcastic. Pet peeve that I must point out, my apologies. But it seems to be shaping up into a great story (with awesome main characters, if I do say so myself).
and pet peeve can't be one word
although when someone gives a sarcastic look you know full well the face they make
Yes, autocorrect is evil, editing now.
I know the face, I make it often. I think it is fine to say that in colloquial speech, but I prefer to point it out in actual writing (although this is also fanfiction posted on an Internet forum, so...)
XD Well, what's an alternative that I could use that would provoke the same mental image?
Quote from: braixen1264 on March 08, 2016, 06:45:28 PM"Battle shmattle. What do you think PE class is for?" Braix retorted.
I absolutely love this line it's perfect
It's nice to know some of the quotes are memorable! ;)
I haven't fully finished reformatting and editing, but I do plan to...plan...the other half of the prologue at the moment. (I can't fix anything because I'm at school and can't log on to my Gmail account)
Part 1 is fixed and is ready to be Czech-ed out! If you have other suggestions or have anything specific that I need to include in Part 2, you know what to do!
Also, is Mike J anyone on here? I got an email from them requesting edit access so they could "do spellcheck and junk for me if I want". Seems dubious to me, but I've been surprised before. Once.
yeah thats nocturneofshadow
OH! Ok, thanks for letting me know!
obvs me who else would it be
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on March 14, 2016, 12:21:28 PMobvs me who else would it be
Michael Jackson.
or maybe Michael Jordan
In my Democratic Citizenship class last year the guy next to me did a double take when the signature sheet went around. He was like, "wait, is your name Michael Jordan?" Unfortunately my signature is just messy.

How's the story coming along.
I have been working on it, but homework takes precedence over it. Once I reach the weekend, progress will be accelerated exponentially. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that I have to binge-watch a playthrough before then so that nothing is spoiled for me in a certain someone's story.

oh yeah.........Sorry about that....I can't delay my story any longer, but you are almost done with the Undertale Pacifist playthrough.. so yay! just 2 more hour long video's and 1 more hour and 46 minute long video!
why are you harming your friend in this way
E.Gadd you should play Genocide, it's more fun
Well, once I finish watching Pacifist, I'll start watching the Geno playthrough.
Also, for those who are wanting a time projection to be up, be looking for sometime around Sunday (may change, though, depending on if things calm down or not)
for reference- because I'm black aligned doesn't necessarily make me evil. I'm totally willing to help as long as it's a gain for me. I'm just not going to help you out from the goodwill of my heart. This doesn't make me a mean person either; I just don't really care about you that much.

My word such willpower!
If you'd share some I'd sure appreciate it.
Hey, I'd love to! XD it gets annoying sometimes!
soooo ummmmm not meaning to be disrespectful or anything but how's the story going?
it's not. He hasn't worked on it for over 2 weeks
All of my Google Docs efforts have been channeled into my lab report; I have EOCs in 2 classes, one on May 4th, the other on May 5th. I should have PLENTY of free time in those two classes to work on this story.
:/ I hate school. A lot.
well good luck with all that! hope you get through without dying
:D BREAKING NEWS!
The Prologue is complete!!
Thank you for your patience!
Now, you may know this or not, but that link in the OP was active the entire time! Give it a read! Tell me if anything needs to be fixed! (Some paragraphs aren't indented, but that'll be fixed once I get to my PC. Sorry for you OCD peoples out there :P ) Oh, and enjoy! If you have anything specific you want me to include in Chapter 1, you know what to do!
I enjoyed that thoroughly
in ch.1 you should have a kungfu fight scene in which i karate chop nebbles ;^)

In chapter 1, you should make brainy do that thing we discussed as a Joke yesterday. Remember, the Bug...cliff....mud puddle....thing?
You know
if I could punch a guy that'd be great
Brainy: And that could be cause by Noc punching you! :D
yeah I could see myself punching a riolu
never particularly liked em
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on May 05, 2016, 09:23:22 PMyeah I could see myself punching a riolu

Make it happen.
Alright. Now just to fit it in the plot...
That was really good! I have to say, I actually like Braix more than me... but she's my friend, so that would probably happen anyway in the story! I can't wait to see more about all of the other characters.
Thank you! One thing is certain, I won't have every character in every chapter. That would be WAY too difficult. I'll instead have different stories & such & perhaps tie it all up in a nice, colorful bow. Thing is, when you read this story, you'll need to think when you read it. I like to slide little details/references in at points in my stories & I like to see who notices them & who doesn't. I'm actually starting on planning for Chapter 1 right now.

i always think my friends r better than me lol
they ave better surnames as well
So sorry I'm late to the party, but I really enjoyed it! I'm excited to see everyone develop as the story goes on. And way to go for fitting everyone in there.
Thank you! Chapter 1 is being worked on, and progress is quite nice! (If only I could catch a break from chores)
Hey hey hey! Guess what!
What?
CHAPTER 1 IS COMPLETE!!!
Wonderful once again! I really like both the characterization and the new characters you added. As for that mysterious Pokemon, I looked up Pokemon that can use hyper beam, and the only ones that are big and have both wings and legs are Dragonite, Salamence, and Charizard. I don't think it's Charizard because you would probably use a fire type move, so it's either Dragonite or Salamence. Again, awesome job, I really enjoyed it.
Yes! You gotta keep writing!
You make me really want to enter a mystery dungeon called Withering Marketplace (with GtI graphics, please). It would just be so cool.

Who said anything about wings, though? ;)

:O that actually sounds really cool! You might have something there!
Anyhoo, thank you both! I'll be starting Chapter 2 either today or tomorrow. (I took a little break from both music and writing for a day or so, but it's over now!)
Well, it did say "the creature paused mid-flight". I guess there are some flying Pokemon that don't have wings, like Rayquaza, but Rayquaza doesn't have legs.
I appreciate your hard work, we all do, but make sure to pace yourself, too. We don't want you to get overwhelmed!
I'm trying to. XD thank you, though
Great Job, E. Gadd!! You're a pretty good writer.
uh yeah good job
just please remember to use 2 spaces after punctuation
Uh, what? Why's that a thing?
It technically is, but is becoming less common. A lot of style guides still recommend it, though. Also, it's only for periods.
Hey, all! So progress has been more than slow since school started. I will try to work on the story some at least once every day at school (maybe during lunch? I haven't quite ironed out all the details). So, this is just a reminder that this hasn't been abandoned, just immensely slowed.
Good to hear! I've really enjoyed reading it, so I hope you keep enjoying writing it.
Oh, I love writing things like this! School has just been a sea of homework lately, and I haven't found a good time to do anything, including arranging. I am beginning to figure out different times I can do things, though.
is this still going on? I'd love to try and join in if possible
Yes it is. Follow the guidelines in the op and e gadd will happily add you to the story
Quote from: K-NiGhT on September 19, 2016, 09:10:48 PMis this still going on? I'd love to try and join in if possible

I was thinking about this: would someone be interested in composing music for a mystery dungeon by this name/description given? If not, I may end up doing it at some point; I need to work on my composing skills.
I could try, but it'd be a first
I'm just interested in hearing how a piece would sound that came directly from the story. Give it a whole other perspective into the story, y'know?
Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on July 10, 2016, 03:44:27 PMuh yeah good job
just please remember to use 2 spaces after punctuation
This is months old now and may have been a joke, but that's actually incorrect; you only use one space after punctuation.
since when
Since always, though it's a pretty common misconception. My dad does the same thing. I don't know why some people do it.
Edit: after research, it seems that "two spaces following a period" was often taught on old typewriters, which might explain why it's mainly older people who have this rule in their heads.
it's what I was taught all through school as well
how's that Minnesota education working out for you
you guys also apparently call it "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck" so I don't blame you lmao
Minnesota's education is one of the best in the US
I heard Iowa's is the best ::)
Minnesota #10- https://wallethub.com/edu/states-with-the-best-schools/5335/
Minnesota #9- http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/states-with-the-best-and-worst-schools/ar-CCijIy#image=CCicEX|9
is only joke
y u heff to b mad
minnesota is better at hockey too
Not only that, they also teach typing incorrectly
Bump for arranger everyone to pressure e gadd into writing more
Plz
E.Gadd I swear
send me your homework i'll do like all of it if it means that gives you time to work on the story
I laughed out loud reading that last page of digressions about the typing
I need to know: who's still here as a character? Because I don't want a bunch of round characters that don't represent anyone still here & if at all possible, try to steer the story away from those users
Haunterello!
woot woot
hi
oi
me
Heh... looks like this has been dead for a while... so listen, Braix poked me about it, and I agree, this needs to continue because the story has a lot of potential. But currently, my summer is slammed with trying to arrange the Sunshine OST & a few other things. After thinking on it, I thought, why not move this to my YouTube channel? In a sense, I would verbally tell the story (complete with voices for each character) instead of writing it out; I feel I could advance the story a lot more quickly in this manner. Would anyone be opposed to this? If not the whole community wants me to bury the idea because it's so bad (wow such grammaring), then we're looking at a revival and continuation of this story around September.
EDIT: I thought it would be a good idea to invite some people from Daj's Discord server (since many of them are PMD fans), and after discussing with Daj, we thought it would be a cool idea to make a roleplay server where you become your character! With so many people as characters, it'll be hard for me to keep up otherwise and generate a decent plot, so the roleplay will help me fill in details as I tell the story! Here's the link: https://discord.gg/5V7f9JM Bear in mind that only people that are in this server will be part of the story! (Unless you have a really good reason otherwise)
