Hello and welcome! :sparkles:
I am hosting 2025's first writing challenge! Participants will be tasked to write a fable: short stories that teach moral lessons, often featuring animals (in this case, Pokémon) as the main characters. See "The Ant and the Grasshopper" or "The Tortoise and the Hare".
Leave a comment here and I will assign you a random wisdom. Examples: "Don't attempt the impossible" or "Kindness is never wasted". Participants will create a short story involving any Pokémon you wish. (Fakémon are also allowed, as long as you have an official Pokémon included.)

1. The story must be short and condensed. Please limit your writing to 30 lines or less. Use paragraph breaks to avoid large blocks of text.
2. I will be looking for reliable spelling and grammar.
3. Follow community guidelines.
4. Morals will be randomly chosen using The Wheel of Names. If you are not satisfied with your first moral, you are allowed to request a second spin and try again.
5. You may include art if you want, but it will not earn you any extra points.
6. Use the tag #Fablemons so I can find your post.
7. The deadline for all submissions is May 20th.

Wait- Did the deadline get an extension, or did my head mix up May with April when I first read this??? o:
I'm not really sure? I don't think I extended it. I wanted everyone to have a month to write their stories

No worries, and good luck!
