Hello i know this might be random but if you remember greaser sans or vinny do you remember posting the story you wrote for them anywhere? I cant seem to find it!

Oh my goodness what a blast from the past…

Truthfully I can’t remember posting anything publicly from Spice of Life (the name I coined for the insane universe that ended up being built as a spin-off from the Ginger and Vinny storyline). At the time of writing the original fic, I was still talking fairly regularly with Rodsee (Vinny’s creator), so there’s a chance I shared it somewhere…but at some point the story I was writing felt like a separate thing from Vinny at all, and posting anything involving Rodsee’s character felt a bit like stealing/copying, especially considering that the way I ended up writing him didn’t match with the original character’s intent and personality much at all. ^^;

(Basically my creativity got carried away, and it felt in poor taste to post something using a name that belonged to an old friend.)

I ended up swapping out Vinny for a character named Artie when writing more of the story in my own time, but even then, many of the core story beats for Ginger were created with the help of a few friends back then, Rodsee included. I don’t know if I’d be okay with posting them publicly now since it doesn’t all belong to me…but who knows? Maybe one day I’ll rework the story, make it entirely my own, and share it. But until then it won’t be making its way to Tumblr or Ao3, even though I’m sure the Google docs made their rounds through my friends group past and present over the years hah.

Sorry if that’s a disappointing answer! I just don’t want to disrespect someone I used to be friends with, and since we haven’t talked in a few years (not for a bad reason, just drifted to different fandoms) I don’t feel comfortable enough assuming they’d be chill with me sharing it without their permission. I’m glad you’re still enjoying the characters anyway!

Ginger will always be an old favorite of mine…I’ve got a soft spot for her, I really do 💕
