Alright. I know I said that I'd give up Sonaze in Dash Adventures...but after I looked through some Sonaze art I realized, I really can't accept this. I think Sonic and Blaze are meant to be soul mates, and I really just don't see Sonic with Amy at all. In fact, if Sonic can't be with Blaze, I see him as a loner. I feel the same way with Blaze, if she can't be with Sonic, I rather not pair her with anyone. Shadow included.
Then I got to thinking, when it comes to Sonic pairings and group projects like this, someone ends up losing out. I gave up Sonaze...but I'm also going to be writing the second installment of the series and I REALLY don't want to write Sonamy or Shadaze because it just doesn't belong IMO. So let me ask this? Do we really NEED romance in Dash Adventures? Romance between fan characters is fine, but what I'm really talking about here is official canon Sonic characters. Sonic has found other reasons to fight in the past, so why does he need to suddenly fall in love with Amy now? It causes a lot of stress and unnecessary drama when really this should be a fun project that builds stronger friendships in our community.
I'm trying to think of a solution that I think would be fair to everyone. I had to give up Sonaze, so I think we shouldn't do SonAmy or any official couples either and leave the characters the way they should be, not create some kind of out of character situation just to bend things to the way they want them. The focus should be a fun to read story and a game. Not drama over who falls in love with who. When we write our own stories then go ahead and write whatever couple you want, but this is a group project so I think we need to be fair to everyone.
