Plot: After Sonic the Hedgehog has so much random sex he [[Idiot Plot allows several hugely telegraphed and easily-avoided plots to go off without a hitch,]] he attempts to get revenge. This leads him to the suddenly-important town of Pouncefield, occupied by a whole bunch of characters you've never heard of and don't care about, wherein he meets his rival, the Sonic Master, and [[Lemon even more people to have sex with.]]

Compared to everybody else, he is a freaking genius. with a first draft of the first chapter. Rather than edit earlier chapters when revising, he just interrupts the narrative with updated versions of the earlier chapters.

He describes her as "the only girl he ever loved" and states that when he gets to heaven he wants her to be the first thing he sees. Two chapters and several, several sex acts later, some random tart gives him a bee jay in a porno theater and he says "I had this felling [sic] I never felt before, and I think it love." Now that's cold. powers. Sonic forgets he can run at Mach speeds, Tails never flies. When they do use their powers, they're at a significantly lower power level than usual to keep the Idiot Plot intact. rather large meals for the protagonists, some of which sound pretty tasty. from a "cub"-themed furry porno comic. chapter is simply about a trio of rabbit lads who have mildly sexual misadventures. Other than attending St. Lovejoy's and running into what are apparently Robotnik's changes to the school, they have nothing to do with any of the characters, have no impact on the plot, and don't even have names. The end. are usually half-dressed or naked are described as... not. By chapter five everybody is clothed by default just to facilitate nudity.
