[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9308523/1/Sonic-Evil-Reborn-Zero Sonic: Evil Reborn Zero]] (also known as [[FunWithAcronyms SERZ]]) is a [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction]] written by SelMelvins.
The story [[DeconstructionFic deconstructs]] many aspects of Sonic lore and Sonic fanfiction, and does this by throwing in two otherwise random characters: an emerald green hedgehog, named Koset, and an apparent demon/hedgehog named Wikke. From these archetypes, it initially becomes a straightforward Sonic fanfiction, complete with Shadow being taken down by a Sonic recolor and some instances of angst while also taking place in an environment that seems [[MythologyGag a little too inspired by]] the [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Sonic]] [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Adventure]] series, [[Main/OriginalFlavour even complete with some of the games' laughable dialogue.]]

[[CerebusSyndrome But then it turns.]] At first, we're treated to Cinos, a possessed state of Sonic, and it seems as if it's going to become an even more cliche fanfiction. But that's where the Deconstruction begins. The story is much wider and deeper than is let on at the beginning of the series, but it rides on subtle references to future events and plot developments that snowball.

The most peculiar aspect of SERZ is its episodic format. Instead of a typical chapter-based progression, it uses "Episodes". An episode ranges from 5 to 8,000 words (what would normally be a chapter), and this is split into 4 bite-sized versions meant for an easier read. However, a main criticism of the series is that, while this method is organized, it bloats the number of chapters. Five episodes is 20 chapters, and because episodes are the 'real' chapters, this makes the fiction appear longer and more daunting than it actually is.

[[CerebusSyndrome But then it turns.]] At first, we're treated to Cinos, a possessed state of Sonic, and it seems as if it's going to become an even more cliche fanfiction. But that's where the Deconstruction begins.
