I have thrown down the gauntlet, my friends, and issued a challenge.
As I'm sure you all know, I read furry porn. A LOT. And As a habitual reader of www.sofurry.com I notice that there are a ton of stories featuring Pokemon, and the sheer number of Pokemon stories has left me with a problem.
I really don't like any of them.
Now before you get up in arms, I feel bad about this! There are so many, and many are very popular, I feel like I should like them. Perhaps the main problem is that apart form catching the anime a few times I really know hardly anything about Pokemon. I don't know a Parasect from a Gangar (thank you Wikipedia), so if you write a Pokemon story that tells me that your protagonist is a Marowak, only more blue, well I have no mental picture at all in my head. It's hard to connect with a story when you have no idea who anyone looks like!
There are other issues to mind you, but I'm not sure I want to give everything away. Suffice it to say, I know crap all about Pokemon, find a way to reach me.
What's it it for you, might you ask? Well besides winning a potential convert, if there is a story that I feel is great and wins me over I am prepared to read your story for an episode of the Bad Dog Book Club. I am further prepared to force Toonces to listen to me tell him why I feel your story is great and why I was wrong about Pokemon the following week!
A little FAQ:
-Your Pokemon can be anthropomorphic or zoomorphic
-Your Pokemon can talk like people or be limited like most Pokemon (Bear in mind i think that generally characters that talk make for more interesting short stories, but if you can pull it off the other way, go for it!)
-I like Porn (we've covered this). I'd REALLY love it if you could do a great Poke-porn short story
-That said non-porn is fine too, but I think writing some great Pokemon porn is the harder challenge, so I'm gently nudging you that way...
-The contest deadline is March 31, 2011
So what do you say authors and Pokemon fans? You up to the challenge? Keep informed on the contest, send in your stories, and check out some great stories at http://baddogbooks.com/bookclub/
Ciao!
