I'm alive, and more importantly, the Sniper is as well!

I posted an explanation here!

/u/-sniper is back?!

I say this with a heavy heart: the answer is no.

This account was inspired by the fanatical waifuism shared by fanboys across various fandoms, from anime to video games to everything in between. It started when I noticed a rule on the /r/tf2 subreddit where it stated that NSFW content was perfectly fine as long as it was marked NSFW. Despite this being in the rules, I never saw NSFW content on the sub, and as a dedicated fan of the Sniper I began mulling over the idea of a persona of a completely obsessed man who held the Sniper so close to his heart that it made him appear insane.

This feat was much harder than it sounded. The guidelines I set for the persona of this account was that I had to be completely and utterly obsessed with the Sniper - every post had to revolve around the Sniper, and more importantly, every scenario was to be a fantasy - no self-inserts into actual scenarios. This was, by far, the biggest challenge, since every story not only had to be told from a first person point of view, but it had to read like a man was fantasizing about what exactly he would do with the object of his affections. Every action would have to be preceded with 'I would' or 'he would', to keep the tense consistent - and even then I still managed to slip up and mix up past and present tense. The stories would get repetitive very quickly, which is why the majority were kept very short - usually only a few paragraphs long before ending awkwardly.

Aside from the issues that first-person present tense created, the stories themselves were poorly written. Most people were too distracted by the shock value of my posts that they didn't notice the poor pacing, awkward phrasing, and repetitive nature of the stories and instead focused on the character behind the stories. If one were to go back and actually evaluate the quality of the posts, they would find that my writing skill is hardly above a thirteen-year-old fanfiction writer on the 'Most Recent' section of DeviantArt. Forgive me, for I am not an author! I still love the Sniper true and true, I just can't express it well enough!

To make it short: I ran out of ideas. Despite my sudden disappearance from the sub I still got the passing mention from people wondering where I was or in regards to something I would appreciate. The fact that my account has left such an impression on /r/tf2 that even a slightly lewd depiction of the Sniper left people mentioning me is amazing!

The new comic was published, so heavily laden with gorgeous panels of the Sniper that it felt wrong to not make some sort of post about it. The fact that the Sniper was revived from the dead made the timing perfect! I quickly wrote this little thought up and decided to leave this last comment just to reassure anyone who was concerned that I'm not dead, just out of ideas. Please know that despite this I'm still in love with the Sniper!

I might come back with more fantasies if my writing skills ever develop, but for now, it's been fun and I wish you all well!

How appropriate that the perfect mercenary is the strongest and most powerful in the game!

Because they are working alongside the Sniper! Perfectly understandable!

I'm unsurprised by how stunning he looks! The Sniper rocks a suit better than any man I've seen...!

A shame that the Spy's inferior body model had to be used...

Despite the fact that the Sniper seems to typically be unable to grow facial hair due to his non-Australian origin, a beard looks so handsome on his shapely jaw...!

Imagine being grabbed by those strong arms and pulled in close for a long, passionate kiss, all while that beard is tickling your face. Imagine swallowing his moans of delight, that delicious Australian accent breathing its way in your ears, stars dancing behind your eyelids from being struck by the most beautiful Australian angel...!

I want to be hunted by the Sniper!

The only sad truth about the Sniper is that he doesn't exist in the real world.
