✦ Guest Spotlight ✦ Kharti ✦ Writer

✦ An extremely prolific writer even when she's fairly new to the fandom, welcome @kharti.bsky.social as our third guest writer! Thank you for joining us for this project!
Guest spotlight for the stobotnik fanzine Gloved Touch. This graphic presents the safe and not safe for work writer Kharti (she/her). Her icon is a drawing of Agent Stone's torso wearing pink lingerie and holding a cup of coffee as Robotnik's arms possessively hold him from behind. Her example piece reads: "Perfect as always." Stone's chest felt warm as he breathed in, his lips pulled into a smile that he tried to keep nonchalant. "Thank you, sir." Then Robotnik turned away - and it was over. The warmth faded, and though he tried to replay the precious words in his mind, they had no effect. He was a sieve, feelings sifted through until they had all been strained out of him and he was empty once again. He craved. He sought, he fought, he got, he lost. The cycle never ended. Sometimes, late at night, he would stare at the darkness around him, and the vague shapes caught in the stray moonlight leaking in from around the curtains, and he would try to remember the curve of Robotnik's mouth, the way his lips formed the words. All he saw was the curve of a chair illuminated by pale light. End of text sample. Her intro text reads "I cannot stop writing about these wonderfully toxic old men. And I hope I never do!". At the right side of the graphic is her social media handle for twitter, "khartiAO3" tumblr, bluesky, and archive of our own, "kharti"

✦ Guest Spotlight ✦ Sevi007 ✦ Writer

✦ Author of one of the biggest fanfic collections known to the stobotnik fandom (although she claims they were speaking through her), welcome @sevi007.bsky.social as our second guest writer!
Guest spotlight for the stobotnik fanzine Gloved Touch. This graphic presents the safe and not safe for work writer Sevi007 (she/her). Her icon is an image of Izuku Midoriya smiling happily at the viewer. Her example piece reads: Swallowing because his mouth is suddenly very dry, Stone searches for the words he needs, and starts a little shakily, "it really was only a joke, doctor. It wasn't easy at all; it took me dozens of games to even come close to understanding how you-..." "Stone," Robotnik speaks into his rant; not as cutting as he could have, and something about that - that calmness instead of the usual snap and eyeroll - is what makes Stone slam his mouth shut and really listen, really look. Robotnik doesn't look angry, he looks... a little uncomfortable, actually, face twitching every so often as if different emotions are fighting behind it at the moment, but his eyes are clear and his voice firm when he says, "This is me, saying Yes.". End of text sample. Her intro text reads "Maybe known for Coffee and Mayhem, though I insist these two genius idiots wrote that themselves and I was just their medium". At the right side of the graphic is her social media handle for instagram, "sevioo7" archive of our own, "Sevi007" twitter, "se_vi007" bluesky, "sevi007" and tumblr, "sevi007"

Guest spotlight for the stobotnik fanzine Gloved Touch. This graphic presents the safe for work and not safe for work Amorous Flammetta (they/she). They don't have an icon image. Her example piece reads as follows: Robotnik idled while Stone buckled himself into the passenger seat. Under the glow of the dome light, he looked at him closely. “Are you wearing makeup?” he asked. “Yes,” Stone replied, suddenly unsure of his choice. “Striking,” Robotnik said after a pause. It was delivered so flatly that Stone wasn’t sure if it was a compliment. Robotnik put the car in gear. Stone tried, without success, to steal glances at him, curious what he was wearing. As they drew closer to the restaurant, he steeled himself, placing his hand above Robotnik’s knee. “What are you doing?!” he hissed, flinching. “Boyfriends touch each other,” Stone explained, “You can’t jump out of your skin if I touch you. You want them to believe we’re dating, right?” “Yes,” Robotnik said, jaw tight, exasperated as he eased off the brakes. “Relax, babe,” he replied, patting his thigh, giddy as the pretend pet name slipped out, “or would you prefer a different term of endearment?” “Anything but babe,” Robotnik replied, sighing. End of text sample. Their intro text reads "AmFlam is a writer and long-time member of the stobotnik fandom, having written fics for the pairing since shortly after the release of SM1". At the right side of the graphic is her social media handle for Archive of our own, "Amorous_Flammetta" and tumblr, "wunderflammer".
