Before I move on I'd just like to say that what started as a very silly writing project made on pure whimsy has actually gotten me to improve as a writer. This type of flash fiction where every entry almost demands something interesting to happen on every line is sometimes a challenge to do well. It might surprise some of you to know that many of the chapters in this are revised multiple times before I post them. Sometimes they are minor revisions, sometimes I look at whole paragraphs and realize they just don't live up to the standard of Doom. This is by far and away my most successful board project ever at 100 chapters now, not even including the few side stories and "Doom responds to the users" I've written. It is funny, writing this actually made me realize what I am truly talented at as a writer: Being villainous. It has given me direction in my writing that has surprised me.
It means a lot to me to know that a lot of people enjoy this, because I am going to make this my trade soon. This week has probably been the best week in my life with how many new and exciting opportunities I have been given. And those chances were given to me because I worked hard on writing about dead Naruto characters and now the glorious adventure of one Doctor Victor Von Doom. I think that might be a first.
I want to take a moment to thank the person on board 8 who has driven Doom the most over the past year and two months: Daranix. Most of you will barely recognize that name, if at all, but he is the person who tells me when my writing is not up to snuff and demands more out of me because he knows I am capable. I write Doom, but Daranix makes sure that I write Doom until it is right.
Thank you.
Sorry for spilling my guts a bit but geesh 100 updates you can take some of my sentimental crap.

Are you implying that Doom is capable of behaving in such a way that is inappropriate? Chris, the definition of appropriate changes with Doom's actions; they are appropriate no matter what they are because they are made by Doom.

Anagram you don't really know Doom as a character do you? He actually has a rigid sense of honor and morality about certain things. Doom has admitted to being in error before.

Aren't most of the errors he's admitted to things that he thought better of later on? How many times has he admitted to actually wronging someone?

Chris, curious - will you ever read the actually comics to get an idea of how Doom is written by other people?
I'm inclined to think not, as it might interfere with your own image of him. However, even though some people have said yours is accurate, some fans might find your Doom to be less than suitable?

Well I kind of view myself as a writer of Doom now without, you know, all of the prestige of working for Marvel. I think every writer has their own take on Doom and mine aims to be a bit over the top. I've read passing stuff about Doom though.

That is certainly a unique resume.

Actually, Houndoom only appeared in Kanto in both the original G/S/C and HG/SS. Same with Magcargo. They didn't appear in Johto at all despite being Gen II Pokemon.
So it's entirely possible for Doom to get a Houndoom.

I feel like this Doom is basically the personification of Doom's "prouder" traits. Take his most "fan-friendly' personality points and mannerisms and put those front and center while having a skeletal foundation of some of his other traits. I don't think "inaccurate" is the word, I think it's just an extreme, and one that fits well for this kind of story; It's Victor Von Doom's world tour of badassery, so you might as well put all of his badass traits front and center.

Thank you, as always, for your continued patience while I lose my soul to Diablo 3. The worst is just about done though, so Doom should see more updates soon!
(Love Diablo III seriously)

Doctor Doom watched as Jonathan Storm stepped forward to be the first challenger. This didnt surprise Doom, the boy was always the stupidest of his little group.
An achievement.
So eager to be defeated, Mr. Storm? Very well. Doom welcomes your demise!
Johnny snarled at Doom. I see you are the same as ever, Doom. Always so arrogant and smug. You arent going to be that way for long. We have scoured the world for some of the rarest and most exotic species of Pokemon and have trained day and night for a week for this battle!
I have conquered worlds in less time! Do not be so proud to flaunt your futility at me, boy. Now start battling before I regale you with all of the horrible things I did to your sister in alternate timelines!
Johnny paled at Dooms implication. Flame on! Johnny screamed as he simultaneously turned into the human torch and flung a Pokeball. The Pokemon that appeared out of the ball was a giant orange dog with black markings all over its body.
Arcanine, a Legendary Pokemon. Arcanine are known for their reckless stupidity, sometimes mistaken for bravery, as well as their loyalty to their masters. It is quite a strong Pokemon despite its personality flaw so it is suggested to brutally slaughter it to set the tone.
Despite a rough start to its existence Doom was starting to like his new Pokedex invention more and more. Doom found that butchering things tended to set some sort of tone, one way or another, and tossed a Pokeball into the field of battle.
With a buzz Logan the Beedrill entered the battlefield for the first time since his grave injuries against Richards Zapdos. Logan swiped its metallic blades a few times and then set its sights on the Arcanine.
The Arcanine was not about to be scared of a bug and roared defiantly in the general direction of Doom and his Pokemon. Johnny smiled at his Pokemon, he too making the tragic mistake of confusing stupidity with bravery. It is going to take more than bugs to win this battle, Doom! Arcanine, Flamethrower!
Destroy, Doom ordered.
Logan blurred out of the way of the fire attack and charged directly at the Arcanine which had to take a step back to avoid getting impaled by one of Logans blades. It was not so diligent to avoid the second one, however. The Arcanine did not have time to register what was happening before the metallic blade cruelly ripped through the flesh of its neck with no regards for the life it was ending. As the blood spurted out of the neck, the now detached head fell from the dog Pokemons shoulders only for Logan to quickly spear it with his other blade and place it over its own head in a clear sign of triumph.
Doom was pleased to see Logan was getting into the spirit of competition.
Let that be a lesson, Mr. Storm, Doom said contemptuously. Always keep your head in battle, lest you lose it permanently.
