Pokeshipping One-Shots

•I might be leaving [Important]•

Honestly, I know I haven't been updating.

I do have an explanation for this, so if you don't want to do a lot of reading because this might be long. Long story short, as the title says, I might be leaving.

I don't know if it's going to be for good or anything; but I know it might be for a long time.

So, here's why.

Recently, on Instagram, I've been getting involved in the editing the community, I've been making icons.

And honestly, I think I'm quite good at it. It may take up most of my free time, but I love it.

I've also made the basketball team, first game's today.

Not only this, but of course school.

This isn't why I'm leaving, because I've found other interests, it is part of it, but it's not all.

Writing stories has always been something I've been interested in and like to do; but I guess I just don't anymore.

If I was as excited to write, I honestly would 24/7.

I just can't anymore.

There's another reason, and may be more, but I know this for sure.

Before I say this, I just also want to say this happened before, before I started writing Pokeshipping One-shots, so I may come back.

So, March 2016, I started watching Pokémon.

It was a while before I stopped watching it.

I guess I sort of fell out of the fandom, I wasn't interested as I was. I kept watching; though, and I was interested again because of one episode, I found something I will never regret. (The episode was Make Room for Gloom if you wanted to know)

I discovered Pokeshipping.

Pokeshipping was my passion. I loved it, I saw it in every way, I wrote and read FanFiction, I was becoming obsessed.

This lasted for a bit, and I was happy it did.

It wasn't until about the start of school again that I didn't like it as much, once again.

I just wasn't interested anymore.

Yet, the cycle kept going.

I became what some would call obsessed, once again.

At this time I was proud of one one-shot I wrote on Amino, so I decided to publish it on Wattpad.

I never regretted it, and I hopefully never will.

I started writing one-shots as more people came to read them.

I was happy.

I was getting noticed.

People actually liked what I wrote.

But, the cycle kept going.

I fell out of the fandom again.

This was about near the second week of school I'd say, I had bigger priorities and stopped.

If you don't get it, I'm not really a Pokeshipper anymore.

I don't ship Ash with anyone else (because honestly, he belongs with Misty, people), yet I hopefully never will, because I still see them and will always see them as a couple.

The message here is basically saying I'm most likely leaving for a while.

I can't write something I'm not interested in as I was before.

When I read FanFictions, I can tell if the writer just gave up.

Everything is rushed, as you might see from some of my endings, and nothing really makes sense; they still have unknown meanings.

I can tell you that it isn't just Pokeshipping, because I have proof it isn't.

I think a factor may be that Pokemon is meant for younger kids, and if you didn't know, I'm 12, almost 13 (10 days yo)

I can actually second this, it's like my Animal Jam phase. I promised myself I wouldn't grow out of if, I'd play forever, I'd make videos when I was 16.

But I grew out of it as I aged.

My parents tell me that I need to "act my age" because I'm almost a teenager. Yeah, I might act childish at times, but, I don't know.

Basically another example, on Amino, in the Pokemon Shippings community, I hosted a poll "which FanFiction should I write" and listed the main Ash-x-poke-girl ships, and, obviously, Amourshipping won (surprise surprise).

It took me a month just to get a sentence down.

It wasn't because I didn't work on it, it's because I need a theme and a plot where I'm not used to.

Ash ends up with Serena, not Misty, not how I usually write it.

It's very, very hard to write something you're against, writing for it. I'm not kidding.

So, I just wanted to say this. I know notes have been all that is here recently, but now you know why.

As said before, I don't know if I'm going to officially quit.

I have a draft right now I made a while ago, I'll try to work on it.

But I guess for a while, this is goodbye.
