>>128596681For me, it's seeing the huge amount of passion for the subject showing through in the art and writing. It's also interesting to see these characters in settings Sega clearly never envisioned. They're definitely not to everyone's tastes, but at least we can all agree that Pontaff's writing's utter shit.
>>128596828We've gotten that in the official Archie (Werehog, robotization, etc) and Fleetway (he turns into a human, others I'm forgetting).
>>128596854There's always Gonterman's stories and comics. He wrote the original gets isekai'd to Mobius, turned into a furry (with a robot arm!) and makes out with Sally story, "Blood and Metal". If you don't know who he is, he's the Sonic fan everyone used to laugh at in the 90s and 00s prior to CWC's discovery. He also wrote a comic about Saving Sally after Endgame, and believes he's the reason Penders brought her back. You can read his works here:
