Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will you put a link to my site on your Links page?

A: Probably not! I'm sorry, but I only link to sites which I feel fit in with the "theme" of this site. Now, that doesn't mean I don't LIKE your site. I could LOVE your site and still not feel that it fits with my theme. If you want a chance of me linking to you, probably your best bet is to sign my guest book and leave your site addy, and I'll link to it if I want to.

Q: Can I link to your site?

A: Yes you can, as long as you're only doing it because you truly want to and not because you expect a link in return. You can use the button out on the main page to link to me, or you can just use a text link. Link it to http://kiss.to/palletshipping

Q: So, there's no way I can get you to give me a link anywhere on your site?

A: Actually, there is. If you'd like to join the PI Fanlisting, I will put a link to your site on the Members page, regardless of its content. For info about how to join the Fanlisting, go to the Rules link on the main side bar.

Q: How did you become a Palletshipper?

A: A few years ago, the idea of Ash and Gary love was basically unheard of on the net, and I hadn't seen very many episodes with Gary in them; I think only the first ep and Prehistoric Pokemon. So, the thought of Ash and Gary together had never crossed my mind. But then, one weekend, I saw both Battle of the Badge and Dig Those Diglett for the first time. In those episodes, it was just really obvious to me that Ash and Gary had something going on between them. I've been a Palletshipper ever since!

Q: So, are you biased towards yaoi and only support yaoi ships?

A: No! Don't you pay any attention? By looking around this site, you should clearly be able to see that I am a Rocketshipper, which means Jesse and James in love, which many would argue is a straight ship. Rocketshipping was actually my first ship and I still love it! You can also see on my Bits n Pieces sector, on the Magical Pokemon Journey page, that I am a HUGE Seasonshipper, which is Almond and Hazel, which is also a straight ship. However, there are also other yaoi couples that I like, such as Taito. I really don't judge a ship on whether it's gay or straight, I just like what I like!

Q: So what other ships do you support?

A: Besides Pallet, Rocket and Season, I also like Apprenticeshipping (Tracey/Prof Oak), Krazyshipping (Meowth/Pikachu), Gymshipping (Brock/Misty), and Neoshipping (Butch/Cassidy). But basically I'm pretty open to any ship that doesn't break up any of my most favorite couples (which are Pallet, Rocket and Season.)

Q: Will you ever have Leagueshipping or Shi3 on this site?

A: NO! I hate them! No offense to anyone who likes them, but I just don't care for them at all, for several reasons. One is because I just don't like Richie! Again, no offense to anyone who likes him, but I just thought he was kind of a boring, too-perfect Ash clone. I also think he and Ash are WAY too alike to make a good couple; they seem more like brothers! I mean, I can see where you're coming from in a way, I can admit that Ash and Richie seemed to have a small crush on each other, but obviously Gary is the main focal point of Ash's life and his one true love that he's destined to be with! As you can see I am a really hard core Palletshipper and therefore I absolutely hate to see Ash or Gary with anyone besides each other!

Q: So why don't you have any lemons on this site? Are you one of those hentai-free freaks?

A: No, absolutely not! I have no problem with lemons, and I even read them every once in a while, but I'm just not that into them and don't really feel they fit with the "theme" of this site. I stick with comedy fics, which I like a lot, and which I also think there's a big lack of in Palletshipping fandom. There are already a million other sites with angsty lemons, this site is for comedy/parody fics!

Q: Can I submit fanfiction to this site?

A: Technically, yes you can, but I don't actively solicit submissions because I'm really picky about the type of fics I'll put on this site. Basically, the fic should be a comedy/parody type of fic where Ash and Gary aren't with anyone besides each other.

Q: How about fanart?

A: I don't really take "submissions" for fanart, but I absolutely LOVE when people draw me Palletshippy Gifts that I can put on my site!

Q: Can I take pics from your site and use them on my own site?

A: Don't take the fanart or graphics. But you're welcome to take the manga scans and screen caps. I did the manga scans myself, and the screen caps I just took from other sites. If you want them you don't have to ask or anything, just go ahead and take them, I'm happy to share.

Q: Your site is weird. How come it's so obsessed with evidence and your club and it's nothing like any of the other ShiShi sites?

A: Well, one reason is because I don't make my site to please you, I make it to please myself! Another is because this site is like marijuana. No, follow me here...ya know how they say marijuana is a "gateway" drug? Like people start out on that and then move on to harder drugs? Well, this site is a gateway Palletshipping site. It's just kind of a lighthearted, main stream site that often first introduces people to the concept of Palletshipping and gets them into it. It's also a place where veteran Palletshippers can go for something a little lighter and different from other sites.

Q: This site contains homosexuality! Why don't you have a warning?

A: I don't feel that there's anything inherently dirty or wrong about homosexuality, and therefore I don't feel it's any more deserving of a warning than a site about a heterosexual couple.

Q: Will you ever have a "wall of flames" on your site?

A: No! I hate those things! I think they make the webmaster look just as bad as the flamer, and all they do is perpetuate hate! When someone flames me, I usually mail them back and try to calm them down and make freinds with them! It usually works!

Q: Who are those characters pictured on your guestbook on the main page?

A: They are Mondo and Rokuna, from the anime Mon Colle Knights which is on Fox Saturday morning. They are boyfreind/girlfreind.

Q: Waa, didn't you used to have a Team Rocket site?! What happened to it? What happened to TC? What happened to the RW message board?

A: Yes, I did used to have a TR site called Team Rocket Forever, and later called Crimson and Clover. What's left of the site today is the Under the Bridge. You can go to that site and read the link called "note" to find out all about what happened to all my former sites, boards and clubs.

Q: If I have any other questions, can I email you?

A: Yes you can, and I will definitely respond! I love getting mail; comments, suggestions, questions, whatever! I don't even really mind flames, I just like to know that people are visiting my site and it's making some kind of impression on them! You can mail me at ChaosRocket@hotmail.com
