As usual work is boring. I browsed dA and came across a ShadAmy writing. As I read through, I just lost interest by a quarter of the story. It was just so..."fan-girly" and cliche. Even when the writer states Amy to be 21 years old, her personality is just as annoying as the Amy in Sonic X. Also, I can't stand when they force the romance between Shadow and Amy. It makes me remember about the writings by Morning-Strawberry. Man, even to this day her works are fantastic. To a point when they inspire me to make ShadAmy pieces (which one is already in the making).

And because of my new relationship with a guy named Cris :heart:

So to pass time, I'll be looking up random ShadAmy FanFic and write some critques. I'm not going to be picky on how it should be written to my tastes but I will point out their flaws. As you know, I don't like to bullshit people but I'll try not to be too harsh. Who knows, if one of your stories move my heart, I might make an art piece :aww:

Oh my gosh! Thanks for the kind mention! ^_^ I'm so happy someone remembers my ShadAmy work! :tighthug:

But yeah, I just love Amy as a loyal, happy person who genuinely cares about her friends. Her Sonic X version actually inspired me to experiment with her characterization. I wanted to write the characteristics I loved about her. The friendship to me, matters a lot in fanfictions. I've seen from experience romance CAN be forced. It motivated me to write about the bonding Shadow and Amy shared in the stories without officially pairing them up. I don't even think I wrote a kiss scene in any of them.

When it comes down to it, I think about what I love about Sonic - friendship and teamwork. ^^ And I wanted that to be the main focus. Looking back at my work now, I definitely noticed mistakes I could fix now. I actually might tidy up the grammar and word choices sometime. ^^; It just sounds weaker now than how I remembered it.

But thank you! :D The mentions made my day!
