Healing

Fan-Fiction - Written by Felicia Rondo, Published: October 11, 2024

Whisper feels insecure, worried that she’ll never heal from the scars that life had left her, but Tangle is there to comfort her and let her know she loves her.

Sonic thinks he has everything he needs to make Chilidogs, but one missing ingredient makes all the difference and prompts him to call Tails for help. Little does he know, a can of beans isn’t all he’s missing…

Coming Back to Sonails

Rondo of Blog - Published: October 2, 2024

The silhouettes of Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails, standing in front of a slightly out-of-focus blue checkerboard background with golden diamonds.

Well, I tried. To the best of my ability, I tried to change how I liked Sonic the Hedgehog in order to fit in better with other Sonic fans. It never worked.

From my vantage point, two options remain - either I give up publicly liking Sonic, or I say fuck it and take back what I gave up.

So… Fuck it! I’m gonna write Sonails fan-fiction again!

Sonails Ring

Art - Published: October 2, 2024

Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails Prower sharing a tender moment while standing in a golden warp ring that has “Sonails” written on it.

It’s the first (of many, I hope) art piece for my Sonails AU, and I drew it all myself! It depicts Sonic & Tails as they appear in the present day of Aerial Union, looking familiar with some notable differences. Let’s go over them, shall we?

Review: Batman Hush (DC Compact Comics Edition)

Rondo of Blog - Published: August 6, 2024

People don’t buy comics. Not like they used to, anyway.

It’s been an issue for years, and it’s bigger than that people are uninterested in a given title. The market itself is drying up and publishers are trying to soak up as much cash as they can get on the way down (see: variant covers, increased number of useless one-shot specials, etc.)

But DC’s trying something new! The home of such classic comic book characters as Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman is now asking the question: What if comics were smaller?

A Legacy of Glass

Rondo of Blog - Published: July 1, 2024

I don’t talk about this terribly often, it’s not something I look back on fondly, but there was a time when I fell in line with other Sonic fans and posted negatively about Ken Penders’s work. These posts were deleted after I learned better and came to my own conclusions instead of letting misinformed fanboys decide what I’d think for me, but I bring them up to illustrate a point.

Each time I’d criticize Ken’s writing, I’d maybe get a few likes and that would be it. At no point, in the months I ragged on his stories in 2020 did I ever have someone replying to me in a desperate attempt to defend them. Some would argue that’s because “no one likes his stories,” a verifiably untrue statement.

But then also, sometimes, I would criticize Karl Bollers’s writing. To this day I don’t think too highly of Mike Gallagher’s, and I’ve posted criticisms of Evan Stanley’s stories on occasion as well. I’ve never been hassled by any fans of theirs.

Which brings me to the question I’m writing this blog post for - Ian Flynn fans: Why are you so scared of my criticism?

Whose Story Is It?

Rondo of Blog - Published: June 27, 2024

As of writing, The Lara-Su Chronicles: Beginnings is officially out in the world. Author Ken Penders is doing his best to keep up with the surge in demand, as people seem to finally have come to the realization that it’s true - he did it. Over a decade after it was first announced in December of 2011, The Lara-Su Chronicles is real. Ken Penders is continuing the story he started in Archie Sonic, and neither Archie nor SEGA can do anything to stop him.

What’s come as a shock to a number of Sonic fans is that not only can Ken publish his continuation featuring his characters that first debuted in the pages of Archie Sonic, but he can also reprint and sell his Archie Sonic stories as they were originally printed. Those who viewed the copyrights Ken registered for the Mobius: 25 Years Later story in the U.S. Copyright Office’s public catalog could’ve told them that and, well, I know I tried to.

So, Ken owns his stories, they legally belong to him. Is that it, end of discussion? Not quite.
