I guess this is on the right board...I hope. >>;

Anyway, this story itself is not...original, which ticks me off. The characters, and almost everything like that, are creative in their own way. But I have problems with breaking away from the plotline of a story. Which is EXACTLY why I want a writer!

Requirements:

-LITERACY. Oh god, PLEASE, literacy. n-n I used to chatspeak -is still horrified she admits it- and I actually once bashed people who typed literately. n-n BUT, that is why I feel being literate is so crutial now. I've realized how much of an idiot it makes you look like.
-CREATIVITY. This is the only thing I really need here. Being able to break from the plot and creating ideas that are totally original are exactly what I would LOVE!!!
-EXPERIENCE WITH POKEMON. If you've been living under a rock and have no clue what Pokemon are, please, leave me in peace, for I may freak out a little too much. If you can, I'd love you to have some experience in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but not the Time and Darkness versions. (Which are still awesome. <3) Red and Blue versions are what I'm aiming for in this story.
-ROMANCE. I'm planning to have it. That simple. No *****, but sometimes odd scenes. (Ex: Every morning, Sparky is excitedly hovering over Dai as he waits for her to wake up...while she's on her bed.)
-MSN, or YIM? I'd love to have conversations that don't take over the course of five days for one plot mark in the story.

So you know, I already have the beginning of the story in mind, and MAYBE the ending. However, the ending would flow into a different story of mine, and I'm not totally sure I want to keep it. I just really don't know where I want the story to go.

Also, for those of you who don't know, gijinka is pretty much just saying that the Pokemon will be human with Pokemon attributes...most of the time. When in dungeons, for fear of being attacked (or for being ready TO attack), Pokemon are just Pokemon. When in town or traveling, they can be in their "normal" (Gijinka) forms.

Characters
-Characters, I'll let you input on, but I need you to understand that they are going to need to stay a bit consistent throughout the story.

Really, I can't describe the story yet. But I'll describe the characters:

Dai- The Hero of the story. While she may sometimes seems selfish, she actually cares quite a bit. She finds it irritating to have been turned into an Eevee, since she feels so weak. She hates weakness, but throughout the story, finds herself breaking down. She doesn't care what other people think, which is probably why she has the guts to punch the leader of one of the toughest gang-teams right in the face as they try to steal her mail. She's actually pretty self-concious when it comes to how she looks. Like every other girl in the world, she likes a good looking guy. xD

Sparky- The Sidekick of the story. He is totally willing to give for others, and he often finds himself with the short end of the stick or no stick left at all. Later, he grows more confidence in himself, and starts fighting back. He doesn't realize his strength, and often feels like Dai is much stronger than him, even though Dai feels weak all the time. He is a bit protective of her, and he doesn't realize that he's making certain scenes romantically awkward. He actually introduces other male members to Dai. He dislikes getting into fights, verbally or physically, but if someone else throws the first punch, he won't let them hurt Dai. If they do, he retalliates in a fury of electric. He's an extremely happy and energetic creature, and is always willing to help, even if it's just moving a pebble from here to there.

Erm...I know this is weird, advertising here, but don't feel like you have to post here. I'm thinking about doing it with my real-life friend, but I'm trying to get all these different ideas. So if you'd like to help write this story, please, feel free to speak up. If you like the idea or characters, feel free to say so. It's late, so this last part might not make sense, and if you think so, feel free to reply saying so. xDDD

Here's a small piece of the storyline I thought up a little while ago, and I just wanted to share it:

Quote:

-Wakes up, and Sparky’s looking down at her (He was waiting for her to wake up, and was too excited to wait outside.)
-She smacks him off, and they head outside
-They get the Kit, Badge, and some mail
-A Mismagius, Absol, and Lopunny (replacing Gengar, Ekans, and Medichamp, respectively) take the mail from Sparky
-Sparky complains at them (“Hey! That’s our mail! Give it baaack! This isn’t fair! Right, Dai?!”)
-Dai then punches Mismagius in the face, kicks Absol in the stomach (she stood up), and trips Lopunny (Sparky: O.O) (Mismagius is kind of in a stunned mode from when she touched Dai. She knows Dai is a little…different, but she doesn’t know how.)
-Sparky then tries apologizing, but Dai calmly takes the mail back from Mismagius
-They ‘promise Dai’ll pay for that’ and run off (“Listen, you little freak! You’ll pay for that!” Dai just keeps shifting through the mail. "...#")

Lol. My outlining's a little disorganized, isn't it. ^^;

I'm not exactly familiar with the workings of Mystery Dungeon and I'm not sure I want to dedicate myself to another comic, but I'll at least offer my meager assistance and thoughts.

Since I have absolutely no idea on your plans for the plot, I'll just comment on the characters. Beware of harsh criticism and a tenancy to suggest darker plots.

Hm...Interesting criticisms. I feel that the impression of Dai might've been...skewed, perhaps. Honestly, I had no clue who Ginji was until I looked him up. =/ Dai herself is more of one who doesn't like to look weak, opposed to trying to spark fights. More commonly, she tries to avoid fights, simply for the fact of the energy they consume. But within those fights she can't avoid, of course she'll feel weak. Sparky's sending lightning bolts left and right, and she has to sit there and use the pathetic move 'Tackle'. Game parameters? I can hardly see how, though it might be because I have the bigger picture of her. But if so, I probably am. I'm not really that creative with fancomics, since I tend to stick to the original more than I'd like to.

Yes, I looked at my post, and realized it seemed totally different than how I actually pictured Sparky. Dang, I need to change that, because he doesn't hate fighting. In fact, he seems to have confidence in it. His whole personality is contridictary in my mind, but I'm defining it as I keep working. As I write, I understand who he is more and more. As for changing his species, (Yes, he is a Pikachu) I'm going to have to say no. It may be more cliche`, but that doesn't bug me as much as it would bug me to change how I think of him.

I realize I have work ahead, but I'm keeping myself focused on this one. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou a TON for the crits, though. I don't usually expect these, but these ones were actually very helpful. They've helped me to understand my characters a bit better, which is why I must hug you. -HUG- =)

Hey, no problem. I'm just glad my pathetic excuse for criticism actually helped.
