Pokémon Add On!
A Collaboration in the Writer’s Corner
Ever thought about teaming up with your friends to make an amazing story? After rounds of competitions and discussion questions, we thought it would be nice to play a little writing game I like to call “Pokémon Add On.” Basically, a group of participants are going to be playing a Pokémon-based game that involves taking turns in writing a story. I will start by typing up a 600 word introduction, and then the next person in line will continue with the trend until one full round is up. We will have two rounds, the first consisting of a 600 word count and the second increased to 800. Each participant will have two days to write up his/her chapter.
Basics Rules: The rules are simple; along with the regular set of rules, I am putting a special emphasis on appropriate content. We need to stay focused and try to stray from creating plot holes. Our content can have humor in it, but limit your usage of puns. Remember that the person after you may be a serious writer, but you’re making it extremely difficult by passing on a page of goofing off. Even so, try not to make many mild references to TV shows or video games. Over my experience with the game, that comes up often. The person behind you may not know what Doctor Who is, for example. Word Count: Our word count, as stated above, will start at 600 words. In either round, you may write up to 100 words over the maximum as it is near-impossible to format it perfectly on one word. With that said, you cannot go below the word limit. It is not hard to write 600 words in two days. I will put below a Table of Contents for easy access to the chapters. This will allow readers to be able to keep up with the story along with the players themselves. It’s a good idea to read every chapter posted since your turn will come up eventually. Dates: Sign-ups end on Wednesday, February 26th! If you’d like to participate, please just say so below and I will add you in. The game’s end date is going to be somewhere near March 20th. Order: I will go first so I can introduce the topic, however I will generate the order of players so that it is completely random. After I post my chapter, the order will continue the story until I post with my 800-word chapter. Then, it will cycle once more so that every participant will get two full turns. Here is the official order that will begin when I update with the Introduction chapter.

Emergency: In the event that someone forgets to write a chapter, I ([mod]Turtwig[/mod]) will write a substitute chapter of 400 words to provide a transition from one author to the next. If you do not explain why you did not post your chapter, we will assume that you are not playing the game.
Goal: Our new goal is going to be 7,000 words! We can hopefully make that goal. As long as everyone contributes, we're sure to make it!
Remember: This is a game! Try to keep commentary to a limited amount of posts, but feel free to give constructive criticism to the authors above you. No one’s perfect, but you can certainly try. Do not argue about how the story has changed its flow entirely from before. That’s natural. As long as the author is following the rules, anything goes!
Conclusion: As our first game, I really want to impress the forums with an amazing story created by the whole Writer’s Corner. Wouldn’t it be amazing to show our dedication? Not only will we all work together to produce an original creation, but we all get to learn about each other’s styles and how to cope with them when collaborating. Even though this is not a contest, I am looking forward to all entries because I’m counting on you to make this PokeBeach’s best story ever.
