-Mariofan48, after I casually showed him two nights ago that rant I wrote about bloodscorpion4ever. Said line marked the end of a PM exchange I was having with him throughout that day; I didn't bother answering it, out of fear of either seeming defensive, rubbing it in his face, or him asking if I actually reported Blood for hosting MA content, depending on my answer. I already hinted enough at having reported Blood, and would be lying if I said I didn't or that I regret doing so.
For the record, no, I didn't mean to piss MF48 off. I only thought it might be worth showing him, since I mentioned not getting along with Blood at the very beginning of the exchange. Of course, an apology probably wouldn't suffice here, because this is more than just a matter of hurt feelings.
Also, unless the fic does get taken down on him or people actually do get on his case about what I wrote, I don't expect that he'll even be aware of the rant. He probably hasn't gotten any notice about having been reported, since neither did Animepewds after I much more successfully reported something of his.
Yeah, I contacted him to ask what happened to his said fic, Konata's Favorite Pastime, just to see whether he got notified. I remember having been notified of my first account having been deleted for spamming; also for both administrative review and deletion of a certain pic on DeviantArt, even though that's a separate website altogether.
Also contacted Sqweebs, author of The Many Deaths of Koichi Shido, to see if he'd be interested in taking over with Cries Unheard should it still fester on end without an update. I think he missed the question while answering if he was aware of Blood's return. He did mention obtaining copies of Blood's previous works and intending to post said copies onto the site (I already took down my copies for obvious reasons), but also that he supposedly heard that Blood did intend to repost the fics himself. That might've been something else that he misinterpreted, because I told him what Blood said to me on June 13 when it was brought up through YouTube:
I didn't really plan on re-uploading them but if you want to and finish I Was Kagami Hiiragi, by all means be my guest. A lot of the key chapters are still missing though so there's a giant gap in the story but you can still try if you want. Also, do me a favor and look at this link and you might want to spread the word...

I did ask him should he end up being the one to post Blood's old works, if he could modify I Was Kagami Hiiragi to correct the relationship between the school schedule and the time of year. Whaddya know, he actually agrees with me there!

As far as Cries Unheard goes, along with the antagonists fates when the fic begins to end, I'm also curious as to why Kagami acts so blatantly out of character throughout the fic. ( spoilers )
I mean, Kagami's descent into drugs and crime in I Was Kagami Hiiragi was built up towards much more believably. It wasn't like she dropped her moral compass and thought "I guess just once couldn't hurt." She is narrated to have sworn herself off marijuana and heroin, and what drives her into that is a series of events leading to such depression that would have instead resulted in suicide had she had anything to commit with.
(Not that I was any better myself with Rockna & a Hard Place, in which one might as well have replaced "Rokuna" with "Tsukasa." Chelle had at some later point pointed out how much more easily she could get out of such a similar predicament that Konata and Miyuki have found themselves in.)
Such is one thing I asked Mario if Blood had already explained either in the fic or to him personally. Even though he left a review pointing this out very early on, he told me he didn't bring it up again out of fear of ruining the story. He did also say, though, that an explanation may have been already overdue at this point.
