    I read it because I haven't yet, and was given a good ride. Still love your work, and without your help I would be lost in mine. This One shot really showed me how different our stories are, and how different the characters are within. I hopw to see more on the continuation of the second arc soon, don't forget to add me to your mailing list.

    Vaez_the_wandering_assassin---It was fun to write a feel-good fluff story that didn't have to change a bunch of the real plotline. Means I might be able to mesh it into the main story someday...the marriage concept, at least.

    Psyence---I should make a honeymoon oneshot sometime. Cute, fluffy, and utterly PWP. HA.

    RAW19---Heh, kinda surprisingly, I really haven't played Pokemon that much for a while. I play Mystery Dungeon a good deal, and Crystal every so often, but the third generation...despite being the source of cute lil Gardevoir, I haven't run through Emerald in a loooong time.

    But the story is close to my heart, so it doesn't matter how much or how little I play the games, heh.

    Glad you enjoyed it!

    o.o my gosh, it's been forever since i've reviewed someone's work. But, i came out of the closet XD for this one. Not only this special, this particular installment of your sinners series, is awesome, but.............the whole thing is excellent. The wording keeps it fresh, the concept is still relatively new, the flow and follow-through, not to mention the action and drama, are all perfect. I'm just one of thousands saying such, but you and your your fic are magnificent and put the 'fan' back into this site.

    GenoLiger---I can't wait to see where they go, myself, heh.

    When I'm trying to come up with a new chapter, there's a few things that I do. First, I consider all the "key points" of the story that I need to cover in the next chapter, and jot them down in a notepad document. Then I start adding ideas for the in-between stuff between those points---conversations that can occur, events that need to be described, actions that can be done---and try to make them as coherent as I can. Sometimes though, once I actually start writing my ideas down, it becomes clear that an idea that seemed good in planning isn't practical (sometimes, downright stupid), and I edit/toss it.

    Sometimes I have fully-detailed ideas for scenes just..pop into my head from my muse. Those are pretty random, though, so...lol.

    I actually do something called "pillow roleplay", lol, where I assign various pillows to roles (ie, Slash and Psymakio) and just brainstorm with dialogue between them (yes, you heard right, talking to myself---WITH PILLOWS). Good exchanges are remembered or written down for later use.

    Other than that...I'm not quite sure, lol.

    DizzyRye---Honestly, I started crying when I was writing the "Watson realizes that he's grown old alone" scene, which was originally a lot longer and more detailed. I cut it down because it ruined the mood completely; the revised version has a quicker and happier resolution. The fact that I was listening to the orchestral version of "Inner Light" didn't help stem my emotions, either (Star Trek fans know what I'm talking about, lol).

    Watson will continue to be a main character in Sinners; while I didn't intend it when I started, he's become as dear to me as Psymakio or Slash.

    Slash and Gardie (yes, that's a new nickname, but I'm not sure when it'll come up in the main story) feel more real to me than any real-world experience that I've had with love. I've never felt true, unconditional love before...and so I must write it, perhaps to try and prove to myself that it can exist, even if only in fiction.

    Graveler may well be evolved by March...the reason I didn't make him a Golem was because I'm not sure of when he'll evolve, as opposed to the other Pokemon. I can't wait for Growlithe to evolve---if I could draw, I would love to draw Slash and Psymakio atop of Arcanine, heh.

    There will be a sort of epilogue to Sinners---while I don't know how it'll end, I'm sure of the consequences of either victory or defeat. It's unlikely that many people will understand it...until I start writing more original work, anyway...but it'll be good. Unifying. All I'll say now is that Slash is a recurring character in my writing (under various incarnations, of course), as are Psymakio and Kiako...and what they do in the world of Sinners may affect their 'other versions' in ways that may not be easily seen.

    T~SIDEWAYZ---Glad you like it, heh. If you haven't already, you may wish to e-mail me at slashfirestorm@inbox.com and get on the Sinners Mailing List, so you can be informed of updates to the main story, oneshots, plotmails, etc.

    Man, this has to be the best one you've written yet. I've been following the story, checking back every few days for an update or a short story. This one hit home though, it brought so much emotion and power from the words that i read it and didnt want to stop. You are an amazing writer and i hope to see this story continue and grow until everyone reads it. again thank you for this amazing story.

    Lesson learned. Don't have sad/romantic music playing in the background while reading this. Had to stop reading in the middle because I honestly broke down during the middle. All the standard comments apply, it was amazingly well-written, it is still the best fanfic I've ever read, quite possibly the best story I've ever read, period. You have a gift, update faster, and so on. And now you made me cry.

    Once more, I'm struck by just how real all of the characters are, and again I hope that eventually you'll write a side story for Watson, he's turned out to be such a big part of the story that I can't think anyone except yourself would have expected it. All that has happened through his life, it feels so real even from the bits and pieces that have been revealed.

    And of course, the love between Slash and Gardie (that caught my eye, too, a new nickname?) is as sweet as ever, a bittersweet taste of forbidden fruit, a poignant glimpse of heaven entwined with a flash of hell. Normal couples can be romantic and it comes off as comedy or triteness, but these two, it just feels real. When a fanfic couple feels more real than reality, it makes one pause.

    Even the development of the rest of Slash's team was well-done. Fully evolved save Graveller, a detail I hadn't even thought of at first.

    But yes, absolutely fantastic work, I will continue to eagerly look forward to each subsequent update, to read what happens next to the story that has so perfectly stolen everyone's hearts.

    That, and hope for a completely non-canon goof-off story, something like Sinners: Green Room. Everyone's at the wrap party after the story's done, goofing off. Kiako's getting drunk on punch and singing bad karaoke with Watson, a 'certain someone' gives a new meaning to 'break'dancing and so on. Goofy fun that couldn't possibly happen in the story. If it happens, that'd be a fun read.

    Hi me again. This story is thru the roof.I can't wait to see how this stuff turns out in the actual story. Hey I have a question. How do you get inspierd? I'm in a rut in my story.

    Satoku---At least I was only late by an hour or so, heh. Glad you like it.

    Imasuky Lomae---Most evolutions are planned for the main story, although not all.

    The original plan for this stories involved a lame-ass idea about Slash and Arcanine fighting their way into a colony of Sableyes and stealing a diamond for a wedding ring to propose to Gardie with. Of course, this suffered from two key problems: (1) Gardevoir couldn't wear a wedding ring without attracting undue attention, and (2) the idea is fucking stupid, lol. So I just decided to scrap the ring, change the setting, and make the story go from just having the proposal to the actual wedding.

    Hilariously, I did some research on wedding stuff for this story, and I learned that the idea that only virgins are supposed to wear white is bullshit. Apparently the white trend began with Queen Victoria, who only wore white because she wanted some lace. lols

    I purposefully avoid mentioning Fallarbor except for that one reference because I wanted to keep the events there a secret (the same reason I didn't include Slash's sixth Pokemon in this story)...but the fact that it's mentioned about six months after the fact should be a sign that what happens there will be cataclysmic.

    Purity is another of the major themes in Sinners---not in regards to virginity, but in personal purity; different key characters are at different levels of purity. Psymakio is perfect purity; Watson is mostly-redeemed; Slash is at the edge of light of darkness; Kiako is falling towards absolute darkness; Giovanni is beyond the light. The actions of the characters, and whether not they obtain redemption (or even desire it) is key to the story, whether in oneshots or the main storyline.

    Watson did terrible things after his wife died, and he has suffered for his actions. However, after a lifetime of trying to redeem himself, he is finally being rewarded...he is no longer alone.

    Heh, Slash will always love to tease Gardevoir like that. Why? Because the only thing better than a Gardevoir begging you to fuck her is a Gardevoir who is too turned on to say anything at all. :-D

    Most people hear the basic pairing in Sinners---human and Gardevoir---and don't expect much. And yeah, I could have written a simple oneshot or multi-chapter PWP for Sinners, and I would probably have a shitload more hits. But it wouldn't be right. The story of Slash and Gardevoir falling in love, of Watson's redemption, of Magma and Aqua, of Kiako's fall and Giovanni's corruption...the story of Mewtwo's torment, the imprisoned Shadow, the fallen King...all of that HAS to be told. And I won't rest until it is.

    Maybe everyone will die. It's a possibility...Sinners could end as a tragedy instead of a romance. But while I can't promise that I won't kill the characters off (my muse decides, not me), I can promise that I won't kill them off needlessly. All sacrifice will serve a purpose, even if that purpose fails to prevent the darkness prevailing.

    Vyers---One of the most unusual aspects of writing this was trying to project personalities on the other Pokemon, as I haven't had time to develop them adequately in Sinners. That's why I kept Pokemon speech so limited---I don't really know where they're gonna end up. Their personalities will be much more refined and thoroughly-explored by the time we get to March in Sinners, heh.

    Wow so just about the entire team is fully evolved and Slash can talk with them I can’t wait until this happens in main story.

    I kind suspected early on in this story that Slash was going to ask Psymaiko to marry him but still when he asked her it caught me a bit off guard.

    The part where Arcanine woke them up was funny as hell but I wish there had been a bit more about the lovemaking before hand.

    I was kind of pissed about the comment of what happened in Fallarbor because I’ve been dyeing to find out what will happen and I get the feeling that the Shadow may have something to do with the storm.
    I’ve seen a picture of a Gardevoir in a wedding dress before but I know that Psymaiko would look so much better in it.

    And I think it’s just a tad funny for wedding dresses to be whit in the first place most women aren’t virgins by the time there married anymore but of course in the case of Psymaiko even if she was deflowered a while back she’s still very pure and innocent so white is the perfect color for her.

    I had never thought about this before but Slash is not only into bestiality but he’s also a pedophile man that’s kind of messed up in a way but Psymaiko is more mature than most humans in there twenties but still…

    I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Watson I know what it’s like to lose the love of your life and to have only memoirs but at least he has them even if anything happens to them at least they’d have given him a few more happy memories because that is on of the best things you can give someone even after someone is gone from this world they’ll live on in the heart and souls of their loved ones.

    The ceremony was heartwarming it was just so sweat it almost made me fall in love with sash because his lines were just so romantic and beautiful and touching but than Psymaiko had her say and it caused me to fall head over heels for her all over again.

    And as for when the ceremony was over I just loved how Psymaiko was talking I love when she talks dirty there is just something about it that gets to in a special way…in my pants. But the actual sex scene that was just unfair I mean teasing her and us like that. No fair. I mean she was begging and rushing him to hurry up.

    Of course it was well wroth the build up that was on of the best sex scenes I’ve read since well the last Sinners one shot it was so hot and passionate and loving I just cant describe exactly how it made me fell other than pleasant.


    And the last thing I have to say is that when I first saw Sinners posted I thought it was going to just be some story about a guy having sex with a Pokemon which didn’t really appeal to me very much at the time but out of boredom I began reading it an it quickly become one of my all time favorite stories of all time I’m sure that even after the story is over and done with it will still entrain and inspire people for years.

    I know that there’s no grantee of a happy ending in fact I except the ending to be fairly said but I still look forward to it and this story gives me some hope that maybe things wont be to bad after all is said and down.

    With Eternal Love, Imasuky Lomae
