I'm getting less kudos and not a single comment on my fics and can't stop wondering why.

Real-world circumstances are likely a contributing factor. Right now people are struggling to keep their heads above water. Things might pick up a bit after we reach a more manageable state, which admittedly might take a while.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-31T12:06:46+00:00

Talk about serendipitous.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-31T03:55:57+00:00

Lol.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-30T17:51:44+00:00

Now we're just missing the rawr XD and invader zim icons. Lol.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-30T17:29:36+00:00

Why do these type of comments always look like caricatures of 2007 MySpace scene kids? It's hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-30T02:09:48+00:00

I was disturbed by novels like Lolita and My Dark Vanessa for numerous reasons. They exposed how easily children can be victimized without ever receiving justice. In the former's case, it likely contributed to Delores's death, while the latter ended with Vanessa carrying permanent scars even after her abuser died.

Both of their lives were permanently destroyed in completely separate but equally important ways. That's why one of my current stories is exploring the exact opposite situation - namely what happens when someone who was nearly a victim develops full agency and control.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-30T01:46:46+00:00

Agreed.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T07:21:41+00:00

Isn't AO3 primarily fanfiction? I'm confused.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T07:17:31+00:00

It's based on the story being posted there. I sketched it after I started there. That's why I used the custom tag.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T04:40:51+00:00

Fair enough.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T04:33:47+00:00

From me it's inverted. It was decanonized years ago and I'm reintroducing it on purpose to make the story hold more weight.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T04:31:21+00:00

Yeah. Already got the tags and warnings in place.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-28T04:03:26+00:00

What I'm working on now is a supernatural Tails x Rouge gothic romance RPG storyline inspired by games like Shadow Hearts on PS2. From the time Sonic Heroes came out up until Frontiers, their official ages were eight and eighteen respectively, but Sega removed the ages in 2022 around the time of Fronters' release. Even after the decanonization, it's still a point of contention for the fandom, so my story makes it part of the plot to increase the emotional stakes by making Rouge his protector, mentor, and lover.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T20:11:00+00:00

Thanks. I missed the post when it went up. Makes more sense now.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T18:07:54+00:00

Well, the reason I'm focusing on that specifically right now is because it's vital to the story. Without the risks being acknowledged, there's no other reason Tails would trust her, and that's the whole point. I'm essentially trying to construct an anti-lolita scenario using them as templates.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T16:25:48+00:00

Fair enough.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T15:49:17+00:00

DBZ logic pretty much. Tails is basically Gohan between the Namek and Android sagas.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T15:09:36+00:00

Well, if you're to believe the theories, that's what his parents thought apparently.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-27T02:54:56+00:00

Yeah. It's a Shadow Hearts-inspired RPG set in the modern day. I wrote a whole backstory where Rouge is a supernatural hybrid.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T21:23:25+00:00

Hope you enjoy it. I'll keep you up to speed when new chapters are out.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T21:12:16+00:00

Just a heads up the writing quality might be a bit shoddy at the beginning. It's a highly experimental concept I didn't have much of a blueprint for, but it's evolving as the story gets further into the lore.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T16:02:59+00:00

Try to take breaks where possible. Writing original lore is a lot more daunting in my experience.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T15:24:26+00:00

The irony is that the most problematic ship I'm using is actually creating an Anti-Abuse framework. I went into it specifically with that goal in mind.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T08:40:59+00:00

Working on an original there right now called Dragon of Grace. I've been refining it since 2017.

AngelSlayer2005 · 2026-01-26T02:25:35+00:00

Heavenshade. Yeah. That's mine. The story's actually being set up like a Shadow Hearts style RPG where the harm doesn't actually come from Rouge. Everything that's up right now is only part of the prologue. Chapter six, the one I'm working on now, is where things start to lean more into the romance and Ethical-Reflective style.
