Big updates this week! November is here, and big changes are happening in the Creative Works forums! (Yes, we are officially 'Creative Works' now.) The major change is the addition of a "Artist's Gallery" forum, which is meant to create an atmosphere of professionalism for serious artists. This is a place to post your very best works of art to be critiqued by other knowledgeable artists. We hope this new forum promotes creative thinking and the critiques will encourage everyone with a love of art & design to further their knowledge.
Also, Lilycove has been renamed to "Artist's Studio", which will remain a more casual place for collections of art. We have also decided that members will be allowed to offer services directly from their studios. If you see something you like, you can PM or leave a profile comment tot he studio owner to see if they might want to do a request.
We have many other changes coming soon, so stay tuned to the Creative Works forums! Check out the contests & activities we have to offer below and enjoy your first November weekend! :]

The Crusade of Dark Nostalgia: Feral Twilight (By [mod]Incinermyn[/mod])
Synopsis: Only in our darkest memories do we discover truth... Since ancient times, the souls of all creatures have been dominated by three dominant emotions: Lust as personified by the arachnid, Rage as personified by the serpent, and Fear as personified by the wolf. These malevolent gods stand independent of reality in a realm known to the Dallinos and Meridai tribes as Beyi Quofyi (the World of Dark Longings). For eons, they have remained silent until one night over twenty years ago when their mother suddenly awoke to destroy an abomination created by Man. In the decades to follow, the threesome have been seeking a way to return to physical reality after a previous conflict with Arceus sealed their power to away. Now, thanks to the exploits of the former Ronac League Champion, Jay Christie, freedom may be just within their grasp. And, once they're unleashed, the demons will stop at nothing to get their revenge.
The Crusade of Dark Nostalgia: Biohazard (By [mod]Incinermyn[/mod])
Synopsis: Eons have passed since the time in which mankind had mysteriously gone extinct. In that time, Pokemon have slowly built their own civilizations based on what the humans left them; however, this also meant having to deal with the unforseen catastrophes of their advancements as well. Over the centuries, many things of Man's exploits had been forgotten or buried and, due to the explorations of a local Rescue Team, an manmade monster was reawakened an unleashed upon the world once again. Now it's up to an exiled tribeswoman named Seraph Furlong and her new partner Chip Erminfyr to discover the mystery behind the abomination before another sinister force uses it to eradicate the Pokemon thriving in the age after people...
Nightmare (By [mod]DNA[/mod])
Synopsis: In a futuristic world where technology has progressed by leaps and bounds, Pokémon have been driven to extinction and replaced with mechanical replicas known as 'synthetics'. Cepheus White, a man feeling out of place in the world he lives in, is approached by Hector, a Flareon with an incorporeal body, and is asked to try and bring real Pokémon back to his world again. However, there are many individuals out there who would rather see him dead...
Mewtwo's Revenge (By [member]Kecleon-X[/member])
Synopsis: Fifteen years ago, the terrorist organization named "Team Rocket" twisted science and cloned the most powerful Psychic Pokemon: Mew. This clone was almost the complete opposite to Mew, having no conscience and a lust for destruction. This clone had been sealed away by his counterpart for fifteen years, but now he vows revenge...
Muddy's Stories (By [mod]Muddy68[/mod])
Synopsis: A compilation of short and chaptered stories by Muddy68. Current update: The Midnight Man, Chapter Two: Halloween.
Uncharted Territories (By [member]Dark-Giratina[/member])
Synopsis: Weary of the way the wolf's adopted pack is treating him, Eurace casts himself out of the pack and roams the wilds in a vain attempt to survive on his own. However, one by one, trouble brews in every direction he travels in and before he even knew it, the young wolf has found himself wandering unknown territories of unknown civilization. Then, he stumbles upon an intriguing event that changes the course of his life forever.
