Welcome back to The Writer’s Locke, a Nuzlocke Reading Project!
Thank you all for bearing with us! This episode is a long time coming. We at The Writer's Locke apologize for the unexpected hiatus, which took much longer than originally anticipated. A great amount of effort went into putting this final episode together, from all of our writers, editors, hosts and guests. However, due to unavoidable issues with the editing pipeline and general burnout, we were unable to finish the audio editing on this episode. As such, we will not be releasing the episode in audio format. However, we've still put together a full transcript of the episode for your reading pleasure.
This episode's transcript link can be found here.
This episode features not one, but two all-new discussion segments with special guests! In the first, our lovely host Rainey discusses character arcs with Vent and Garish Garchomp. In the second, Whozawhatcha steps in as our guest host to discuss racial diversity in nuzlockes with Wwarborday and Missy! Both discussions offer excellent advice from practiced writers, and are well worth the read. This episode also features Garish Garchomp's farewell, in which he discusses his feelings about having Carousel featured in The Writer's Locke, as well as his thought process throughout the process of writing it. Finally, it features farewells from both Writer's Locke producer Flopdisc and its host, Rainey.
In addition, we do have one audio segment prepared for you! The racial diversity discussion segment was so long and thoughtful that we couldn't keep it all in the final cut of the episode, so we've prepared a special extra-long cut of the segment as a bonus episode, which has been uploaded to our usual podcast streaming services:
- Listen on Anchor
- Listen on Breaker
- Listen on Google Podcasts
- Listen on Apple Podcasts
- Listen on Pocket Casts

Garish Garchomp
"Amongst all these foreign sensations, it's this feeling he never wants to forget. The feeling that he's defying reality in the most elegant way."
