4PM-5PM?
Or any later, but now I think I need to level ;o
At school no internet on 3DS ;w;

THENA
DO NO MORE
HAVE TO BATTLE

I posted my new chapter which will lead into the events of our encounter!

OHGOD, I just realized that if we battle some of our Pokémon are going to die. Nonononononononono. I changed my mind, no battles

That's why you should write them off as practice matches.

*points to skype*
:<

Allright, goodnight then~!

Be sure to get some inspiration for your stories in your dreams!

Yeah that's the smart way to go, I did the same thing with my visit to America! Shipped a whole lotta stuff to my staying address and brought it all back with me. The only problem is that the airport security can confiscate merchandise and all that stuff and then you'll have to pay an extra fine... so you gotta watch out for that!

Gah, I hate it when somebody doesn't return your stuff, especially if it's something special like that! Why didn't you get it back? Did the person lose it or something? D:

Writing isn't necessarily something one gets good or successful at by doing it for a long time, you have just as much of a chance of getting published as he did, you just gotta bring your messages across to publishers as best as you can and hope for the best! Persistance IS key though! So keep at it and show them who's boss! Yosha!

Jeez today has been busy, sorry for the slow replies~

Athena, Οh? which episode was it?

Roger-roger, Addblock is now off on the beach!

I also try to get at least 1 item from the webcomics/animators/artists I love to show my support. They give me and thousands of others hours of entertainment and that should always be shown a bit of appreciation. After I realised I had been watching and listening to Egoraptor his stuff for almost 10 years I immediately bought 'Game Grumps' shirts for me and my best friend. I bought Savant and AVGN's their awesome Steam videogames and I tend to purchase music that artists normally put up for free themselves, like Bo Burnham.

I'm always sad when someone doesn't ship to Europe, I'm like "I would like to show my support, but you won't let me!" and just stare at the product with sad puppy eyes for a while. I think that actually happened with the Awkward Zombie store a long time ago! xD

Oh maaaaaan that con story is totally dang awesoooome.
Junko Mizuno sounds like a freakin cool lady, there is nothing better then someone you adore comes up to YOU out of nowhere. Someone should've made a picture of your face the moment you realised that it was her! Stuff like that feels so unreal the first few seconds, I love to see people's reactions to those things. x)

I've never had anything like that happen to me, so freaking cool! I only had this one time when I was like, 9 years old and my brother brought me to a.... Starwas con. Yesyes, Starwars is also part of my geekness, and that day the actor of Boba Fett (Jeremy Bulloch) from the original trilogy was signing and answering questions at a con here in The Netherlands. I was waiting in line wearing a 10x sizes too big official shirt with Boba Fett on it and when he walked by he suddenly turned around. He said "That's a nice shirt you got there kid" and pulled me all the way to the front of the line to be the first to get my shirt signed! He even gave a me a photo and everything, I'll probably remember that till the day I die. xD

That's nothing compared to your story though, I bet you keep that signed manga in a secret safe somewhere!

I have no idea how to reply to your writing part to be honest, because you basically describe my entire relationship with writing, It's quite astounding! The young start writing fiction, getting back into writing after online contest, storymaking for RPG's... your story is very relate-able!
I admire your spirit though, it's hard to keep writing when you're a perfectionist, I hope I get to read your finished work someday.

We could have "practice battles", so they don't actually die :3

I just looked up some of Sarah Ellerton's work, it does look very pretty. And mystic too!
Webcomic sites are some of the few websites where I turn off AddblockPLUS so I can support the artists like her properly. Now that reminds me, does PokeBeach run on ad revenue? If so, I should probably turn it off here as well.

I've found a few small groups of MLP fans who are an amazing joy to be with, it's just the masses that ruin it for most people. So yeah I generally stay away from fansites unless I already have contacts on there trough other means. MLP-fans are the most fun if you meet them outside of their circles where they dial-down their insanity, like we did here. ^^

Well I hope you'll be able to attend then, and be sure to tell me about it when you have!
Con-stories are almost always fun stories.

Well aren't we in agreement a lot, I agree with that too! xD
And yeah that's what makes Jessie a very good character for these kinds of things, as even though she's a side-character with not a lot of backstory, she still expressed many different types of emotions and talents as a comedic character so you can find a lot of things to work with and expand upon.

I am curious about your 'serious work' now though, I've tried writing down my stories many times but the grammar nazis, perfectionists and ADD-annoyances in my head make it near impossible for me to get past 3 pages without getting frustrated with myself. How do you like to write? In what kind of environment or time?

play while you do worky-things :3
Anytime today would be great

Athena, can you battle later \:3/

Athena, rawr

Athena, I don't know, maybe the 2nd? I would grumble about having to use specific Pokémon (Tyrunt and Amura)

I've been into a lot of weird webcomics before, so I'll give it a try sometime. They do tend to get overly chaotic after a lot of time has passed as the author has had many different visions in how to end the story. I don't think I've ever read a webcomic with an actual end though, so that might be fun!

Your relationship with Homestuck kind sounds like me and MLP. I've enjoyed the show before, but less and less because of the incredibly obnoxious fanbase and increasing bullshittery of the show. But still, like you, the music, animations and all other creative works spawned from it have been a great joy for me! I've always found it weird that fans are the most blind to things relating to whatever they are fan off, that just blows my mind.

You're welcome! I hope you'll be able to attend one of them!
Oh just a bit of a warning though; I don't think cons here are as extravagant as you might've seen them in US. Just saying ^^;

Fanfiction is a double-edged sword in that regard, either the author has the same visions and feelings about the characters as you do and you're thrilled to read about them some more or they differ from what you think and you'll feel the fanfiction is badly written. You have no idea how many discussions I've had to help end because of friends arguing about these things. That's basically why I mostly care for canon stuff only, and then make my own head-canon with whatever I like, it's the safest way to deal with it! x)

*prods again*

D'awww, the more you talk about Halloween the more you make me feel bad, imagining you sitting there with a bowl fulla candy waiting for kids is just heartbreaking! I want to give Halloween back to you, it is now officially a quest! x)

Y'know I've never checked out Homestuck because a lot of fans seem so stuck-up. "This comic is awesome but you're not allowed to read it because you probably won't get it" and stuff like that. Maybe I'll give it a try some other day.

T'would be my pleasure to show you some animecons!
http://www.abunaicon.nl/
Abunai! is the most well known one I think, it's very international and their entire website is in English, go check it out. I've been there myself 3 or 4 times because it's the closest by every year. Cosplay and Merchandise are the main features at Abunai!.

http://www.animecon.nl/program/events
This is the oldest one and the website is also completely in English, albeit chaotic and ugly as hell. xD
I don't think I've ever attended this one myself, but I have friends who go every year so it must be fun! There are a bunch of events you can check out, more so then at Abunai.

http://www.tsunacon.nl/
Tsunacon is one of the newest and is more Japan-Culture-oriented then just anime, so they have all kinds of fun stuff to do and see! Their website sadly isn't in English so you might want to ask your husband to read it for you.

Well that's sadly all we have for 2014! It look like a lot of cons disappeared these last 4 years, including 'Chibicon' which used to be the biggest merchandise-and-cosplay animecon I had ever seen. And I'm sadly unable to find a group called 'Evercon' that would visit theme parks in summer and invite everyone to come in cosplay to turn that theme park into our own 'themed' park that day. That was truly one of the most fun experiences I've ever had in my entire life. x3

My friends have been trying to get me into fanfiction since FOREVER, but I really don't have a taste for it. I don't have that problem with your story however, so you must be doing something right! :D

Athena, I think the anime will eventually give him a super rare pokemon to own. I think mewtwo is the most reasonable pokeon so far! He is the out-of-the-ordinary in the first generation, Red actually owns one, his movie was the first of all pokemon ones and he has made cameo's in openings and had appeared in a second movie to fight alongside satoshi and most importantly, he is no legendary, because he is artificial! So that wouldn't mix the balances of the world and similar ideas ;D!

Whatever the case, I am pleased to be surprised with the anime not recycling every single season ! I am positive they will make it awesome! This is the first season Satoshi loses a battle against a gym that doesn't have exclusively normal types ! All the other normal type gyms have been the only ones to beat him and making him challenge the gym a second tim!

I don't think there are many kids living near you, if any at all. Or am I incorrect? I mostly hear about old families and young students living in those kinda homes, but you probably know better then I do.

Is it bad that I had to Google every single on of those names? I actually remember seeing Digiko around but haven't heard about any of the others. They look like cute cosplays though!
Aww come on! There are still quite a bunch of Animecons around and most of those are international events with English speaking hosts, sellers and visitors. If you really liked that kind of thing then you should keep doing it, honestly!

I've done many challenges by myself before, just for fun, but never anything like this. I like you writing style, it was a fun, quick read so far and I like what you're doing with the characters.

I keep getting distracted from actually playing my game these past 2 days! Too much trading to do! Dx
