I believe this is the 'permanent' server link, btw, in the case the above one isn't.

My Nemona x Penny server, StarFruit Central, is now live!

Server icon above is modified from this artwork by @Sbj_Rocketlink, who's given me permission to use it for the server.

This is meant to be an all-ages, Pro-Nemona, Pro-Penny space when you're welcome to share creative works, gush about Pokemon stuff, and meet folks, with a emphasis on NemoPen shippers at the core. If you stumble into this after the link has expired, just DM/message me! Here's the server's intro info! Welcome to StarFruit Central, A NemoPen Discord Server! This space is meant to be a safe, all-ages environment celebrating the cast of Pokémon Scarlet/Violent, especially main characters Nemona and Penny, and specifically their romantic pairing. However, it will also double as a general community space for fans of Pokémon characters in general. What do 'StarFruit Shipping' or 'NemoPen' mean? They're just fandom terms used to describe a romantic pairing of Nemona and Penny. 'NemoPen' is a nickname mashing Nemona and Penny's names together. But Pokémon has a long history of shipping culture dating back to Ash/Misty from the original anime series -- where supporting that pairing became referred to as Pokéshipping.

Since then, pairings have been assigned special little nicknames that symbolize something about the characters. Nemona's catchphrase is ’Let's have us a fruitful battle!' and she also serves as a representative for the Academy in Paldea (which is named after a fruit in either version). Penny, meanwhile, is obsessed with constellations and stars. So, 'StarFruit Shipping.' (It could probably be mashed together as a single word, if you want, but it's more readable as two imo)

If you're here specifically because of my NemoPen fanfiction, there is a private channel ⁠#operation-comet-punch I can unlock for you to discuss it, specifically; just DM me or a Mod.

You don't have to specifically care about this ship to hang out here, but you do have to at least be OK with it, as it is the core theme of this space.

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"

I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

Meta commentary? What meta commentary...?

“Hah. That's my Rival-In-The-Making, for ya.” Nemona swiped a hook at thin air. “Takin' on giant, crazed Pokemon like it's... no big deal.” “It's kinda not. You'd think it would be, but... Engh,” Scarlet shrugged, trailing off. “And, erh. Between all this Gym training crap, it's... kinda nice to just... spend some time in nature. And whatever.” “Oh, for sure! Paldea's got so much to offer, doesn't it?” Nemona pumped her elbows down to her hips, trying to keep the mood up. “It-...” Scarlet blinked off to the side, then back to Nemona. “I mean. 'S got a lotta... hiking trails, I guess... Not even well kept ones, to be honest. With how much money rolls through some o' these towns, you'd think they could at least keep the damn roads functional...” At Scarlet's blunt critique, Nemona felt herself shrink a little bit. She supposed it was easier to see the flaws when you hadn't grown up here. Scarlet kept ranting, “Big surprise, there, not like I couldn't find miles of hiking trails where I came from... Tons of open space, sure, but... nothing much to do in Paldea, huh?” Nemona was feeling dragged down by Scarlet's mood, here, and opted to keep maintaining the optimistic approach. “Wh-?! Sure, there is! You can battle to your heart's content, for a start!” “Rrrright. Pick fights with strangers just moping around in the middle of nowhere? I'll pass. Mainly, though, just need to keep finding as much treasure as I can. Don't really care where it comes from. But the stronger my team is, the easier it'll be to find more. So. Yeah.” Scarlet bobbed their head sideways and pinched some water drops from the little tuft of bangs they had. “Of course!” Nemona encouraged. “So you can graduate some day—fulfill the Treasure Hunt and everything?” “Uh... Sure.” Something about the way they'd said it made Nemona suspect something else was up. When it came to the Treasure Hunt, they'd get real cagey, though Nemona couldn't figure out what kind of secret they had to hide about it. She knew better than to pry—she'd hate it if Letty was prying into her personal life, after all... Nemona tried to push things onward, this was giving her such a bad vibe... She felt like something was off but was too scared to draw attention to it. It stung a little, knowing that Scarlet, brand new to Paldea, was already making all these friends and stuff, going off on trips and whatever? Meanwhile, Nemona was so wrapped up with keeping up her grades, maintaining her reputation, handling Student Council business, and training up her multiple teams... She just didn't have, like... people? Individual, specific people, that she wanted to spend time with? Why and how did Scarlet become this exception to the rule? She just needed to keep spending time with them, regardless. That was all that mattered, really. She wouldn't bother putting much thought into it until she needed to. The excitement, the buzz, that was all she could focus on for now.

Excerpt of a flashback from a future chapter of my Pokemon fic. You can read what I've posted so far here (it's NemoPen fic btw).

My heart breaks for Nemona tbqh, I have so been there, gurl

Just fired off my server link to a bunch of people I thought I saw supporting NemoPen at some point semi-recently, hope I haven't annoyed of ya'll! Literally just looking to meet other fans of this ship as I write fanfic of them and wanna see what stuff others make!

Their battle themes are just SO GOOD!

Do you have a favorite Pokemon battle theme?

Last week, @ripplerain and I met, and I mentioned this scene from Masters EX, which they had not seen! So I recorded/uploaded it for them. When I think about how it makes sense for Nemona to get into physical training, it’s because of how she canonically has low stamina and tires easily, but she’s got high motivation! This scene from Masters shows her specifically talking about training herself!

It was seeing this scene that gave me the spark of inspiration to headcanon and write her training under Dendra and Bea to get stronger in my fic! And I've also reimagined a buff fighter style version of Nemona for my visual novel @project-fightstar But also... Nemona fans can just enjoy a scene of her they maybe haven't seen before!
