Looking at the initial reactions to Sonic Fights Robotnik, the people of alt.fan.sonic-hedgehog did not know how to handle what they read. Met with what can generously be described as “mixed reactions,” there was not a demand for anything further from the author. Luckily, their reactions did not deter SONIC FAN from writing further stories, a secret blessing that few were able to appreciate at the time.
Though many claimed they did not like the stories, it did not stop people from engaging with them. Every installment was given the MiSTing treatment, where riffs were scattered about to poke fun at some of the stranger plot turns. A handful of people even attempted to replicate SONIC FAN’s writing style, creating their own versions of Sonic Fights Robotnik, though never quite as earnestly.
Located below are the people’s reactions, frozen in time.
“"Yo what up" I said
"Hey author" said sonic
"Hey how's it going" I said
"Past cool" said sonic
"See you later" I said”
