Rent asunder

Well, I thought I'd become an author before I became a publisher, but life works in strange ways.

Does anyone else, when writing/reading pokemon stories, desire that the 'pokemon' aspect of the story is essential? So, a pokemon story wherein you couldn't just swap humans for pokemon, and nothing about the story changes at all?
          I know that when I read pokemon stories, I like the ones that need to be pokemon stories--not ones that just have 'POKEMON' slapped on as a label to attract viewers.
          Anyone else?

My little booklet is almost full, so the story's meat is almost all there.
          That, and I've got the title for it now in place, and am beginning composition now.
          But it could still take a bit of time.

I've got the plot, protagonists, and antagonists all worked out for my new story coming soon. I've been working on the building blocks of the story, not just slacking off.
          I'll start working on the actual writing and composition soon. That, and I'll likely be making my own cover for it. So it could be a while before it's actually out.

Ok, here's a change going forward:
          I'm going to start writing fanfiction again. That being pokemon fanfiction, as I'm now part of a group that revolves around said fanfiction. I would like to contribute to that, plus, it makes sense with my profile.
          This coming pokemon story will be all I'm focusing on in the long-term as of now. I will be putting my original works on pause, since no one reads them anyway.
          I will ask that whoever sees this and visits my profile on any basis, that you all just please bear with me. My emotional and mental state has been nothing short of extreme, and I'm feeling a bit stressed with what life online and off has been throwing at me. So please be patient as I push through to deliver this coming story.
          That is all for now.

I have to learn prudence with my announcements.
          I won't announce anything unrelated to writing my stories from now on. That should help.

Sorry for back-to-back announcements.
          
          Chapter 3 of I'm in a Weird School! is out. And the title is bound to change over time as the story progresses.
          This will be interesting.

When it comes to writing fanfiction such as pokemon (since that is the theme of my profile), is there any real difference between writing your own pokemon universe fanfiction, and an original universe story? I mean, of course, other than the pokemon fanfic has the big 'POKEMON' label attached to it which garners more readers out the gate. Other than that though, there's really no difference.
          I say this, writing original stories and getting little traction, while also having written pokemon stories, and getting attention nearly instantly.
          Overcoming the 'fanfiction crutch' is something I've always wanted to do, since original works are inherently more difficult to produce than fanfictions.
          Feel free to ignore this. I was just voicing what I've seen.

Chapter 2 of the Untitled Story has been published, along with a title change, which definitely fits more of what's going on at the moment.
          It's an interesting story, and interesting to write. But go ahead and check it out at your leisure!

Hi.
          
          I'm going to be a voice actor apparently.
          I got a role in something small, but it's a neat thing to me.
