Argh...kill me, please. What? Not until I update Meaningless? Dangit...Fine. I keep intending to sit and write the next chapter, I keep getting in the mood, and I keep not doing it. Why? No clue. Don't expect it too soon, though. I have an animation due this week, amongst other things to deal with. Anyhow, I discovered the "reply to review" feature, and I totally intend to use it! And I think my head is starting to hurt...

A2: Ah, I know I wrote the information in my journal once...long ago...Anyway, in case you were interested, A2 stands for Awaken 2. It is really an extremely remade version of my first story which I was unsatisfied with, titled Awaken. A2 is the first well-written (or at least semi-well-written) fanfiction I've done, but it's not nearly as popular as I'd like it to be. Perhaps it will pick up once It's got more substance to it. A2 is set in present day, and I age any original characters from the time of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's release, which was 2001. Therefore, everyone is about three years older-Sonic is eighteen, Knuckles nineteen, Shadow...well...since he doesn't age it doesn't really matter. It's also set in a somewhat alternate reality. The history is partially based on the games, but Robotnik (Eggman) is no longer a threat at this point in time. Mobius/Earth is entering a war-torn era o destruction and despair, which is what ravaged the planet before Robotnik's terror began. It'll be easier to understand by just reading and seeing what goes on, but I thought I'd like to include some information on it anyway. If anyone has any questions just ask and I'll add the information here.

Meaningless: Ah, Meaningless. The accidental result of my being alone and bored while out of town during summer vacation. And my first shounen-ai ever. Before this I had read a couple shounen-ai stories on fanfiction.net, but I had never read a shounen-ai manga or anything like that, just fan stuff. And, I had never seen anything involving a Shadow/Knuckles coupling until this (then people started directing me to some). Well after I realized that people really liked this, I decided to continue with it. It was meant to be a one-shotter, but I decided eh. What the heck, neh? So I continued writing. And this time I had a goal. I wanted to explore a finding of common grounds between these three popular Sega born males, to find one thing that they all suffered from. This was most possible in a semi-alternate reality, especially since the three are all so different. This world is based primarily on the history of the Sega games, and is set in present day three years after the release of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, which I'm setting at the time of Sonic Heroes (so basically, pretend Sonic Heroes never happened).
