straight from the mouth of the ogre

An informal Pokemon fanfiction writing group

[ogerponswritingden]

Considering joining? What are we?

Ogerpon's Writing Den started as an informal group of Kieran pokemon fan fiction writers, but as we've grown, the scope has increased. We accept any and all levels of Pokemon fan fiction writers and readers, from the most seasoned to those just starting out.

We feature monthly events to participate in and coordinate via discord server. While joining is not required as the server is age-restricted (18+), it is recommended for the maximum experience for those able to do so.

It is not a large server (not yet at least!). There are pokemon fans who have been fans since the first game or earlier as well as some who have just joined in the most recent installment.

Let us know if you have further questions about the vibe, the events, etc!

See all prompt announcements & submission masterposts.

Here are our past events:

2026: Jan (Food), Feb (Flowers), Mar (Nothing)

2025: Sept (Beach), Oct (Fairytale), Nov-Dec (Isekai)

Happy creating everyone and see you in August!

You cannot convince me these two aren’t Bi. Yeah they both love Kieran, but— “As they sat down together on the grass, Juliana felt a strange, fluttering sensation in her heart.”

“Lilac simply shrugged, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink.”

I MEAN—

(Yes I am taking these quotes out of context. No I will not elaborate).

My submission for @ogerponswritingden’s June prompt: Pride, with Juliana and Lilac from @celestial-kyuk0n’s ELTZ.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapters: 1/1

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Haruto | Florian/Suguri | Kieran, Suguri | Kieran & Zeiyu | Carmine

Additional Tags: Post-Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero: The Indigo Disk, Spoilers, Established Relationship, Coming Out, Bisexual Suguri | Kieran, Internalized Homophobia, Headcanon, Fluff, Oneshot

Summary:

Kieran stared up at the dimmed ceiling lights, his chest tight with worry. “What if she thinks I’m weird?” Florian immediately frowned. “Kier, you’re not weird,” he said firmly. “There’s nothing wrong with you. At all. You are not weird for having a different sexuality. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with you just being you.”

Or: Kieran is happily in a relationship with Florian. However, he worries about how his sister will react once she finds out.

Arriving fashionably late with wicked eyeliner- here is Ogerpon's Writing Den's June prompt: Pride!

In addition to this month's prompt, I want to highlight ex-champion shipping week which starts tomorrow (the 7th) and last through the 13th. Please check it out as well!

Details, rules, links for OWD's June prompt under the cut-

AO3 Collection page is here. You can find an invite link and info on the server here. Send us a message if you have any questions.

Rules/Guidelines:

🍎 MUST include both the prompt and pokemon as a series. Being that we're Kieran-focused, including him will mean more engagement. It's recommended but not required.

🍏 Be courteous and kind- this means no phobic behavior (No homophobia, racism, transphobia, or otherwise discriminatory behavior). Be respectful of other people’s identities

🍎 Be constructive and keep criticism to a minimum. Ask before offering criticism on a posted work.

🍏 The pokemon franchise includes many minor characters. While adult content is allowed, avoid sexualizing minor characters. Lolicon/shotacon not allowed.

🍎 Graphic depictions of gore, sexual assault, pokephilia, and other controversial topics are not allowed. If you're unsure if something would be controversial, send a message to us for a second opinion. It never hurts to ask and we're happy to help out!

Hello there! Just off the tails from hosting Dipplinshipping Week, I’m happy to announce another event: Candyappleshipping Week!

The aim for this run will be to start on August 17 and end on August 23. I also plan to start the week on a Monday this time like a normal human being. Afterwards, a catchup session will run for the remainder of the month.

🍏 This blog for the event will help spread any additional news and updates as well as reblog all event submissions.

🍏 The form below is for a general participation check (even if you won't be creating anything) as well as prompt submissions for that week. It'll be open until the end of May, after which prompt voting will happen and there'll be an adequate amount of time to prepare.

🍏 Full rules will be posted once voting concludes.

🍏 The mods for this run are @birdcatt, @goldenpakari, @kieranneedsahug, and @shadowstep.

🍏 If you have any questions (rules, etc), feel free to send it in the ask box or the last question of this form.

*The power of Lilac opening a Dark Fountain in the Terarium shines within you*

In honor of @ogerponswritingden’s May prompt “Gaming” I present, courtesy of me interpreting the prompt in a different lens…

Deltazero!

(A.K.A @celestial-kyuk0n’s ELTZ except it’s Deltarune now)

I’m curious what you think about the Trio’s Dark World designs. Lilac’s is just the “pure” Purple Queen, but the Siblings are original. I do think I could improve Kieran’s design, though.

Hi hello! Excited to present yet another month of incredible content. See below for details-

The prompt winner this month was unofficially @id-purpose whose unwitting prompt suggestion ended up being a huge success! Thank you and some small apologies for picking that one, heehee. Our first submission was a surprise from @adelinesariana with her art of magical girl Juliana! @kieranneedsahug takes the trophy for longest fic at 5151 words. Our top procrastinator was @galpaladin64 for the submission on the 22nd.

Seriously wonderful work, everyone! Shout out especially to the several people who took the prompt literally (@kieranpon-nogood-awful-semester, @shadowstep, @bakacrazy-blog). I said we'd be impressed and we were!

Next month, April, is a hiatus month to give mod team a break. There is a Dipplinshipping week planned for those of you interested. Also, Ex-Championshipping has a week planned in June. Otherwise, we'll be back in May!
