David Macintyre:
If you say it sexy.
Sean Catlett:
Oh you. *giggle*
What made you first want to write Sonic fanfiction?
David Macintyre:
It's a really horrible reason, but I can answer that.
So I was all up in the shit at GameFAQs forums, sadly enough, and there was what has come to be known as a 'blooper' thread running in the SA2 forum. (I was 13 or 14 at the time I think.) And I wrote a long ass one, which was less a blooper than one of those silly off-the-wall humor stories we see a lot now (which suck more and more nowadays, but still).
And then-- tragedy-- I found that I'd actually surpassed the word cap, and couldn't post, so I decided to copy the whole thing into a .doc file and post it on fanfiction.net. Then I wrote a sequel, a glorious, glorious sequel, the next day, and they came to be known as the Kung Fused... duology. Or something.
So that was my first shit.
Sean Catlett:
Did you read any fics before writing Kung Fused and the awesome sequel?
David Macintyre:
I did. I used to read MSTs and lemons, or MSTs of lemons. Which is how I found fanfiction.net, I wanted to MST some stuff of my own.
Sean Catlett:
Aha. Was Kung Fused well-received?
David Macintyre:
To an extent, I think. People who read it did enjoy it, but it didn't stand out enormously. At least that's what I understand. I don't pay my fancy money to the site to get a hit counter.
Sean Catlett:
They have a hit counter? Holy shit.
David Macintyre:
Yeah, if you expend dollars.
Sean Catlett:
That's terrible.
David Macintyre:
So is ffnet.
Sean Catlett:
Zing.
David Macintyre:
Burn, even.
