[@Shimmerlight]

1:38:13 So I did some digging on Lil’ Soniq to see how much he wrote before he retired. Dan mentioned that “Sonic’s Ultimate Harem” has 360 chapters, but the word count is an absolutely ludicrous 1,663,117 words. Excluding his retirement message (which he posted as its own work called “Farewell”), Lil’ Soniq published 28 fanfics over eight years. 8 of his stories are 100k words or more, 5 of those are 200k words or more, and his second longest story-“Fairy of Darkness 3: Age of Darkness”-comes in just shy of 400k. The total word count for Lil’ Soniq’s entire collection of works: *3,837,433* That’s about 3.5x the length of the Harry Potter series. It is *exclusively* Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic crossover fanfic. So… there is absolutely no way that this guy is not for real. Stay Chaotiq, Lil’ Soniq.

Is it still readable now?

[@texivani]

Please for the love of everything in the world, get the collection published. It belongs in a museum.

[@FabulousaAliya]

I've never read one of their works outside of the Grumps reading it, but hearing that they've retired has oddly saddened me. The world has truly lost one of its most dedicated writers...

[@obamapeepee]

honestly kudos to you for even going through the trouble to find all that out

[@Filthykur]

I was listening to this while falling asleep and I had a dream that the Grumps went to a Home Depot and read the entirety of the fan fiction thru a bullhorn. It was a WILD dream

[@srbrant5391]

That is the best thing ever.

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

Someone should do an animation of your dream using the audio from these videos

[@PixelaGames2000]

I would gladly animate that but first I need to get good at animation also I need to find a good software to use

I literally cannot watch this man play the Knuckles and Rouge Stages, I refuse to believe that same person had ever touched the game prior let alone completed it.

[@KarmaticFluff]

@Mega Norax to be fair, the emerald locations are completely random (also I haven't watched it fully but it's just based on how much I've watched and to me he's doing fine)

[@meganorax746]

@@KarmaticFluff I understand that much, I'm just meaning there are moments where he flies right in front of an emerald or he's standing over an obvious spot while the radar is on full blast, I'll just chalk it up to me being an asshole and continue about my day

I like the one where Danny reads poorly written sonic fanfiction for a looooooooooooong time.

[@srbrant5391]

I love how they don't take the piss out of the fan fic, they just let themselves get lost in the unintentional humor and celebrate the effort of the author.

[@EmeraldPhoenix-sp8hm]

Yeah, it is refreshing. I honestly find that hard to do myself, and I *also* write fan fic (maybe that's _why_ it's harder, because it can sometimes feel embarrassing because I don't write stuff anywhere close to this sexual and error-filled).

[@enzhotheomega9509]

I need a fucking audio book of Dan reading all of lilsonic's shit I would pay to listen to that

[@Stack_Of_Wood]

Same. It needs to be ALL of it

[@LinkVsRoxas]

[@user-2012July-A]

Plot Twist: Dan just wanted to share with us some fanfiction he wrote. But he had to write it in the dark so no one would steal his masterpiece.

[@GundamDragonLord]

I really want to hear more of Dan reciting Lil Soniq's fanfictions. They're more hilarious than should be.

[@Ciri751]

IT SHOULD BE A FUCKING PODCAST!!!

[@OfficerHotpants]

"Look at Rouge. My god." Danny may have come to the game 20 years late but he still had the same immediate reaction to the start screen as the rest of us.

[@jasperlevinstein8210]

Dan: "...wait, wtf is happening? XD" Arin: "It's Chao karate, don't worry about it, keep going." I fucking heaved laughing at that.

[@CalebratedTV]

HILARIOUS at the 1:27:47 mark "Oh he has unlimited stamina" LIKE THAT NORMALIZES THE 180+ CHAPTERS OF SONIC FANFICTION.

[@kamichu5412]

Really hope arin will go from "people really want us to play SA2 again" to actually fucking playing it again. He keeps teasing us instead of JUST DOING IT

[@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcon]

Who wants them to play it again? This was one of the most miserable series they have done.

[@ColeJacob]

no trust me i get you. the chao farm too. this game was a staple in my childhood and that's why i was so mad at the series basically getting ruined

[@kegmonkey5648]

I've noticed that a lot of people fail to realize that while there are 3 emerald pieces, there are more than three spots they can show up at. So people look up walkthroughs and get confused/angry, much like Arin, when the emeralds aren't in the spots they show in the walkthrough.

There’s a KZbinr I enjoy who made a review about the 50 Shades of Grey franchise, and he made a note that the author is terrible at illustrating the passage of time.
