Hmmm, this is an interesting way of doing it. Every other forum I've been to has a separate 'ideas thread' and when you update you just PM your readers. Anyway, it seems to work, so here's the prologue of my fic, Equilibria (the first chapter of which I will shortly post).
Prologue.
The Cuaro Region. A dramatic place where towering mountains meet peaceful plains, boiling volcanoes meet sapphire lagoons and scorching deserts meet verdant forests. A place left untouched for millennia and unknown to all but the indigenous peoples of the mountain villages and the roaming tribes of the vast plains.
But as the years of technical advancement in the regions across the sea have continued and the need for energy has swelled, the black gold of the Ouwahlu Desert and the towering trees of the Serpent Forest have drawn in many outsiders: scientists from the dismantled oil-works of Almia, miners from the long-spent quarries of Orre, and money-hungry tycoons from the grand cities of Kanto and Sinnoh.
These people have profited enormously from the land and its bounty, building sprawling cities on the great, flat, plains and pumping the resources for all they’re worth, they spread there poisons like a plague across the once magnificent region.
This time is proclaimed as a golden age for the once ‘primitive’ land of Cuaro in the rich cities of the plateau. But elsewhere there are those who would rather see the land returned to its natural glory than drained of its energy and left to crumble like a dry husk when the corporate fat-cats finally move on; those who would sympathise with the locals being forced from their homes and even fight with them to right the balance in this land of disgustingly rich and poor, to even the scales in this region of the appallingly weak and terribly powerful - in short, those who would reclaim their:
EQUILIBRIA.
Fic discontinued due to lack of interest.
Alright, introduction of my fan-fic. A sneak peek can be found in a seperate thread.

Day 4, Night
We have been moving faster than ever before. We managed to get out of The Vale Mountains in the afternoon and got near a crater. Must have been created when The Gray Mountain erupted.
We have been walking until around midnight, so all of us are tired. But, if everything goes right, we might find the ruins tomorrow. It will not take long!
Day 4, Afternoon
We all took some rest and most of us slept until the afternoon. There is still time to get to the location of the ruins, but it will probably have to wait until tomorrow.
Day 4, Evening
We actually found the ruin upon arrival. It seems we came from the right place; the ruin is hidden under a hanging rock.
So, tomorrow’s the day. Tomorrow, I will travel through this unknown ruin, hoping to find remains of the mighty ‘Mazta’, our own predecessor.
Day 5, Morning
After exploring the entrance of the ruin, it became clear that it was blocked by boulders. I am planning to get rid of them today.
Day 5, Evening
Alright, the entrance is clear. Now, my well-earned rest and tomorrow, hopefully, a chance of seeing signs of the Mazta.
But, before I go to sleep, time to prepare for the journey.
Day 6, Morning
Alright, time to go. I am writing this while my 4 companions are waiting at the entrance of this ruin. Arentus Falvius, Inius Colus, Carius Cornellius, Salvian Matius and me, Lucien Longus will enter the ruin. Gods give us strength. We will find the true intentions of the Mazta!

Not much, it is actually a part of the first chapter.
Chapter Two of Digimon: Reloaded is up. I introduce soem random plot devices, and things are generally confusing, even for the characters. Enjoy! :P
Just added the forty-second chapter of The Trial Of Juno I: Dawn of Hope. Guess the people who have been reading it can already tell that it is ending... I'd also like to inform all of you of an upcoming Fan Fic Contest. If you are interested in being in it, PM me and enter your name and Fic. You will be able to change the fic your entering until I put up the thread and the entry session is over. This won't be a week contest or a weekly contest like the Sprite Contest that takes place here.
I'd also like any artist here to create ribbons or something for the first place winners. There will be more information as my idea comes to an end and I finally put up the contest. :P
I'm working on Chapter 7 of my fic. While writing though, I thought up an idea. I was thinking about making this chapter the confrontation with Flygon, and they fight in the next chapter. The other idea is that Flygon starts off hostile and the fight starts this chapter. Which do people prefer?:)

I haven't been really reading everyone else's fics and I don't feel good about saying that I haven't, but I won't and can't lie to anyone here.
I think that it depends. You should have Flygon acting "hostile" or "protective" if you're in the desert. The reason for that is, before your character and such get to the desert, recent attacks on Pokemon in the desert have been attacked or kidnapped by Pokemon Poachers. Suddenly, when you guys get to a certain part of the desert, a sandstorm picks up and Flygon starts its attack.
I just thought that because Flygon is known as The Desert Spirit.

Hm, I think you should have skimmed my last chapter first.:p My characters are all Pokemon heading to where the elder Flygon is. The question is whether they should try and talk him out of his madness first, or Flygon attacks soon after they arrive. I value your ideas though and I like the idea of a sandstorm. They're also already in the desert.:)
BTW, the name of Ch. 7 is The Desert Spirit. How'd ya know?:p
I quit writing it sinc3e no one is reading. I enjoy writing, but I'm not willing to put out 5000 word +chapters to no audience.
Chapter Three: Digivice of Digimon: Reloaded is up and available for reading, so please do. This is actually the biggest project I've started myself since I began writing, so for once I've actually got a plot planned.
