Oh, OP, I am so passionate about the F-Zero series (I've held out 10+ years waiting for Nintendo to announce a new game, waugh) and I have such deep fond feelings and so much love for it. One of my first big fandoms, too (I drew so much shitty fan art, wrote bad fan fic, and made fan characters that have since had the serial numbers filed off).

... but I really did not like GP Legend/Falcon Densetsu. Sorry. :(

Well okay, I only really liked Lucy Liberty -I even stole her car name as my internet handle most places, haha. And man, I had sketchbooks filled with Lucy-related drawings back in the day, and came up with an elaborate head canon to fit her into the X-GX continuity, too- and hope she becomes a canon expat in any future F-Zero titles Nintendo chooses to make, but that's about the extent of any positive feelings I have towards that part of the series.

That said, maybe you could try looking on Tumblr? I know there's a very small but devoted F-Zero fandom there, and a fair number reblogged a Lucy drawing I did a month or so ago, so there's interest in GPL/FD, at least. Worth a shot, IMHO!

Thank you for the post! Haha, it's nice being able to see that I'm not the only F-Zero fan out there even when it feels like it sometimes. Eh, it's OK to not like some things. Lucy was pretty ace though. :)

Do you know what tags the F Zero fans use on Tumblr? I'll go check it out, and maybe who knows, I'll upload my silly doodles on there.

Yeah, looking back on it, my main issue was changing things pretty drastically from the games (not that the games were very coherent to begin with) and arbitrarily making characters good or evil. That said, next to Lucy, Zoda was another part of the show I genuinely liked (and I'm ashamed I forgot all about him in my initial reply), both in the original Japanese version and the dub. He was the rare exception where I found the show to be an improvement over the game lore, haha.

(I do find it funny and yet sad that even Nintendo has disowned/forgotten about GPL/FD... they don't even reference it at all in the last couple Smash Bros. games, unless you count a couple inspired palettes in SSB4)

I think they use 'fzero'. At least, that's what I've used before with one or two of my drawings.

Oh hey, I never thought to check the tag without the space and there's a bunch of different posters in there too. On one hand it's nice to see stuff I missed, but on the other...

I'm just gonna silently seethe about Tumblr's crappy tag system. It used to actually work with hyphens back in the day too, but of course, a random update broke it one day without any warning.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for the help with the tags! I swear, Tumblr is like some sort of magic where I have to know the right words to type into it, and then suddenly, hey, here's the F-Zero fandom that you've been looking for a long time!

It's a shame that Nintendo hasn't done much with the series, especially when it was so fabulous...: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RWO5eJwXmc

Who knows, maybe in the future they'll pick it up again. ;) I'm also a Metroid fan, so I'm used to waiting, lol.
