Hey ace!good to see that your still around and kicking and that PM is still as big a hit as ever!
I was a writer long before PM came out, but it was PM that convinced me that I was much better at Fan fiction writing then my many failed attemps at individuality. I have had some pretty successful stories… til my writing partner decided to grab the files and posted them on fanfiction.net as his own solo work… I think you will understand why I refuse to tell you which ones.
Looking over your stuff again the other day, I noticed how many unfinished works you had. Soul Mates is a very intreguing concept, and desrves to be finished, if not by you then by one of your hundreds of fans. My little group of fans also feel that PM itself is unfinished, due to the fact that you have glimpses of the massive Team Rocket war, yet not actually have a story about the war itself.
Regardless, I understand that you are a busy man, so we have no expectation of any of this happening anytime soon. I think I can speak for your fans when I say we eagerly await your retirment from professional life and return to your roots as the creator of the PM series.
Good job, and thank you for creating a wonderful series.

Soz for the late replies guys!!!
Steph: Haha, that’s pretty funny I would like to think so.
Theresa: Awesome, at heart the fic was bone big AAML haha
Cynthia: Thanks for comments; yeah it has been some time!!! Although I do look back and kind of cringe because I know I can write a lot better nowadays. But I just need that same motivation that made me just fully focus on getting something done. I guess it’s part of getting older -_-;;

Hi Ace,
I read your fanfic years ago, when you were still in the process of writing it. I just wanted to let you know how much I loved it (and still do)! Every single time you updated I would stop whatever I was doing and read the chapter in one shot. You are a fantastic story teller, and out of the hundreds of fanfics I’ve read, PM is definitely one of the top, if not the best. PM is something that I can read again and again without losing interest because the depth of the characters, the wit and the plot really pulls the reader in. I used to wish that it could be turned into a movie, or at least a novel that I could keep! Although it’s been 8 or so years, I still remember your story clearly and come back to it every now and again. I’m a big fan of your writing, and I wish you the best!

I’m so happy that you might be getting into writing again! And even if you think of writing a prequel to PM, I’d read that in a jiffy. It still amazes me that I can re-read PM and still get the goosebumps on my skin. Heck! I even got one of my friends to start reading it and now they are hooked. <3 PM and <3 your writing style. I hope you get more inspiration to write more pkmn stories! (I'm a pokenerd and aaml at heart)!

Gah, sorry about the double-post, it was a mistake xD ^^ Anyway, I was watching Heroes the other day, and I’ve just realised that even though there’s a ten-years difference between your cool awesome fic and Heroes (2008-09), the concept is fairly similar. I guess Tim King (producer of Heroes) read your fanfic! ^_^ and it’s strange, but the motto of Heroes is/was “Save the Cheerleader, save the world” and I noticed Brock said in chapter 13, “Save Saffron City, save…” or something similiar. Coincidence? I think not xD

I can’t believe it. I remember reading this all the way back when I was around twelve or so, and it blew my tiny prepubescent mind. A long couple years later, I scoured the Internets trying to find out where you’d gone, but your site was exactly the same and I couldn’t find any Google results for “Ace Sanchez” that could satisfy me as to your whereabouts. I used to print out your fan-fiction on actual paper and read them aloud to my siblings and my cousin when we went to visit him! Crazy!

I stopped playing Pokemon after Yellow came out, and stopped keeping up with the franchise after the third movie. Then I went to college, where it seems everyone is back into Pokemon in a big way. Today a friend and I decided to get together and watch the first three Pokemon movies, because we hadn’t seen them in almost a decade when they came out in theaters. Seeing all of that made me want to go back and check out some of the old fanfiction I used to read, so I was absolutely astonished when it seemed like you’d resurfaced with a brand-new blog and everything!

Bizarrely, I almost forgot that I too once wrote fanfiction (and not that long ago, either)- My most ambitious pieces were a novel-length Yu-Gi-Oh fanfic called “The Second Voice” and a novelization of Donnie Darko, both of which can be found under my old Fanfiction.net user name, Animagess.

It seems so long ago, but now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure these pieces owe a huge debt to PM, and not just in term of length or dark content. Pokemon itself really kicked off the whole North American anime scene in a big way- It was my first introduction to the concept of fandoms and fanfiction, as I’m sure it was for a lot of other people, and PM was in retrospect was probably a huge part of that whole scene. Yeah, it’ll probably never be analyzed as a cultural event the way Woodstock was, but it was a lot more fun in my books.

Since I’m an animation student now (and apparently animators never forget their roots- I just bought two issues missing from my Pokemon manga collection by Katsuhiro Ono for probably five times the price I would’ve paid eight years ago), my drawing ability has gotten a lot better. Maybe someday I’ll shoot you some fanart- Whenever I think I’ve outgrown this sort of thing, it comes back to haunt me in a big way. This is a great blast from the past, and it’s great hearing comments from everyone else who probably grew up reading this sort of thing, who haven’t forgotten about it at all.

Ace hows it going amigo! I hope all is well in the land down under. I’m a USAF flyer hopefully I’ll be making it to Richmond Aus. sometime in the next few months we got a new mission down there . anyways on to business lol first and foremost I just want to say you sir are an amazingly talented writer. I write a lot of fan fic for my personal enjoyment and seeing yours its nothing short of excellent and this is no small praise I’ve read enough books to know a good book from a bad book(I am a very avid reader ^^). You should really consider taking your talent and trying it in the market you already have a very strong fan base who adores you, heck man balls in your court. I first read your fan fic about 5 years ago when I was still in highschool and I decided to read it again these last few weeks. I really got to say I would love to see a sequel theres enough loose strings in the book that you have the manuverability to write another great novel, for me the best part of reading a series is knowing that when I get done with that first wonderful book there will be another waiting for me. Anyways I had a lot of things I wanted to say I’m sure I’ve missed some but most importantly I just wanna say thanks for a wonderful reading experience and best of luck to ya in all your endeavors.

P.S. Ever see an anime called code Geass? any recommendations for me? I just got done with record of lodoss war myself
