Writer’s Note:

This is Team Asanoya’s Main Round Two entry, written by me and my friend and cowriter Star. Art, once again, by our beautiful captain and artist @flippinflakes .

Regardless of it’s reception and rating, I feel this is where we really came together as a unit. And since this is the final post, I’ve got a few words for my team. We were grouped suddenly, had trouble throughout the entirety of SASO2016, and a few tears were shed here and there. Or enough to cure Cali’s drought, whatever. But to Cara, Marsh and Star, I wouldn’t have picked any other group of people to go through hell with. To Star, for sticking it through and helping me when it mattered most, and going all out in the bonus rounds. Cara for making time even though she was being worked like a horse.

And Marsh, for holding us together until the very end. You were our glue, and our driving force. No one could ask for a better captain, and friend. And I’m glad you’re mine. I couldn’t be more happy and proud than I am rn. Thank you for the ridiculous summer you guys!

So I’ve been pretty absent from fandom for the past couple months and I thought I would share why me (and a few other amazing people) have been a little awol this summer. 

I was able to participate in an AMAZING event coordinated by a lovely group of people named @sportsanimeolympics ! It’s a little bit complicated, but basically me and over 300 other people participated in event that brought together all of our favorite ships and fandoms in a clusterfuck of art and writing and edits (anything you can create tbh) that we could share among each other. 

My beautiful team and I (Team Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun) created two glorious main round submissions that we worked tremendously hard on. 

My team consisted of the extremely talented @condofixed @valoirs @plagalkey @starrwinter @kazayu @falsehero @sawamuracchi 

I hope you recognize most of them - they are some of the best writers and artists I know. All of the entries we created were formatted on a website! I’ll dump those links here, but they basically include some pretty amazing writing and beautiful art, all created by my wonderful teammates (I did a little too). 

For our first round, you can view the submission here. It’s pretty simple, just click through the pages! Warnings for anime/manga spoilers. The theme for this round was duality. Our interpretation of this theme was a role reversal. What if Miyuki was the pitcher and Sawamura was the catcher? The work was done by Sora and Order! They did a beautiful job. 

For our second round the theme was circuit. You can view this entry here. The work here was done by my entire team, with a special super thank you to Order who is the mastermind behind all of the fancy coding and stuff that I do not understand. Our interpretation was circuit of stars, each portion telling a story of love and goodbye. Warnings for manga and anime spoilers. 

This year I joined SASO representing team asanoya! Our Main Round One Entry was a lovely story written by @shafusu about Asahi and Noya as a Storm God and Earth God respectfully! Here are the illustrations I did!!!

We actually got into the final round of voting and hence were in the TOP 15!
