- Sandra: I’m sorry, Zoey, but you know that I don’t swing–
- Zoey: — Wait! First, look at this!
- Zoey: See, this folder contains love songs and poems… This folder contains photos of me… And this folder contains Zoey x Sandra fanfics.
- Zoey: The files in the folders are sorted by lewdness.
- Zoey: This is the minnesang of the 21st century!
- Sandra: Walther von der Vogelweide would be proud of you.

Always like it when this comic has me learn something new. German musical history, in this case.
So the question is: who wrote all those poems, songs and fics? Zoey herself? Unlikely. She’s never stricken me as unbalanced.
Gilligan from the Zoey/Julia arc? Now he *is* unbalanced, so I could see him doing this once he saw Julia wasn’t working out. But given Zoey’s understandably freaked out reaction to his behaviour, I can’t see her approaching him for help with Sandra.
That leaves what I think is the most likely answer: various and sundry classmates who’ve shipped Zoey/Sandra, but more casually and not to the point where legal and/or psychiatric invervention would ensue if this were real life. Zoey presumably noticed these fics and other works popping up on social media and collected them.
But I could be wrong. Guess we’ll find out soon enough… assuming the next few strips aren’t yet more non-sequitur “HEY LOOK I”M CREATING CONTROVERSY” thingiedealies (with or without pre-emptively closed comments).

I’d say she downloaded fitting examples and then made more or less extensive adjustments.
She’s a musician, after all, and so a very creative person. Novril’s explanation is perfectly reasonable. (And I love the music history reference. WvdV was one of our favorites in lower division music history back in college.)
Zoey’s face in the last panel
She’s reaching her ultimate form – Obsessive Fan XD
@ Novil:
Will you be publishing the content of that folder somewhere? 🙂
(“asking for a friend“)
Someone better inform Zoey that writing sexual fiction about real, living minors is actually very illegal. Like actual prison time illegal.

Pictures are illegal. Written, fictional stories are not (so long as they aren’t interpreted as libel). At least in the US.
While I’m impressed that Zoey knows the word, I’m not entirely sure these qualify as minnesanger.
If nothing else, I don’t think Zoey is particularly invested in the ideals of courtly love, as per her mention of lewdness.
Why are the comments disabled on the two previous strips?
So what is Zoey trying to talk Sandra into? Making a new folder of videos? Mud-wrestling poetry slam? Does she have plot treatments of the Cursed Adventure 2- Forest Maiden Combat? Puzzles and cryptography and Breakout revealing Sandra floating naked on a cloud? err, cloud not Cloud. What sort of raccoon bikini would Sandra wear? Swimwear or fur bikini in the Lum style? If Zoey takes a photo of herself smugly holding the leash of Sandra in the Leia Bikini, would that mean that Zoey is in charge, or that she’s a big fat slug?
Zoey’s a real keeper. First the charts, now a “well-structured” collection of wooing material.
She sure put a lot of effort in her … efforts.

In that case, Tina Belcher is in trouble.
@ Zippy:
Would vary widely from jurisdicton to jurisdiction, surely?@ Zippy:
I seem to recall more than once that Sandra has kissed a girl, and liked it. She should give Zoey a chance!
@ George:
It was Larissa who kissed Sandra and sang that song: “I kisssed agirl and I liked it….”
The comments are getting to be even funnier than the strip despite that fabulous line about ‘sorted by lewdness’. I almost fell out of my chair.
@ Icalasari:
And Sandra’s in the third panel. Thought balloon: “OMG!”
Are you sure that the Zoey xSandra communitity is not strong enough to break the fourth wall, and what Zoey has collected, has come from this side?
Great to see someone like Walther von der Vogelweide (Walter of Bird-Meadow) getting a mention here. I guess he hasn’t been this popular since the 13th century!
evidence of attraction is gathering 3… 2… 1… 🙂
@ AnotherBear:
And then Larissa appears with Cloud somehow, convincing the entire group to be polyamourous
And gets extra credit for her assignment from Satan
@ Asrial:
The girl can’t help it.
She’s autistic.
@ Awolf:
Same diff, but she also then told Cloud, after getting his kiss, that Sandra was a better kisser. Poor Cloud…!
Not surprised to see nobody complaining about how terrible trying to change the sexuality of a (straight) person is 😛
