I really hope he comes back, one of the AO3 writefags (AmoebaAnon) came back out of nowhere after like a year and a half of silence, so it can happen. :holo_impatient: 

He also might just be rebranding, cause I looked at the site of his "good friend" and it already had 3 monstergirl stories up since the July 31 good-bye post. So maybe this isn't as bad as it sounds. :jahy_want: 



(If it sounds like I'm coping, it's cause I am. :Miyu_Cry: )

Yeah, it sounds like he is just rebranding. Writing MGE fanfics is already restrictive, especially if you try to keep to /monster/'s interpretation of the series. Expanding out from that can allow for more interesting fantasy romance concepts.

Rebranding would do him good, especially if he keeps to the spirit of /monster/ even if not the form, which we hope.

I'm hoping that the whole "good friend" bit is what that means, and that it's not just one last plug for his actual buddy or something.

Either way, sad to see such a major figure go, even if he's only "leaving" on a technicality. :lain_sad:

I think he means "good friend" like how Jim/Metokur had several "good friends" on Twitter. The style and wording of his "good friend's" website is practically the same as his.

Reading his farewell post and his "good friend's" site, it seems he is steering away from erotic content.

I could see that if he believes it was religiously necessary or if he got married and wants to respect his wife. Plus, he probably will get a better publishing deal if his work was mainly non-erotic compared to his MGE fics.

That's pretty much what I thought, I was just worried that I was letting the copium get to me cause he's referenced that guy as his friend several times before on the site, without any of the emphasis or implication.

>he's said that he was a beta reader for the guy's novel
Well, if he's the writer of the story, then he's not exactly wrong about that. :heh:

Ok yeah, I read through the blogpost where he introduces his "friend's" site, and I guess I'm just an autist, cause it's super obvious now that they're the same guy. :gura_dum:
