Considering how difficult it is to sink a ship girl (if it is not on purpose), it is surprising how often sinking of a ship girl happens on doujins. Thinking about it however, writing a fan fiction means one can deviate all he/she wants from the canon material and create his/her own version of the world, which can be much easier than working with Kancolle's own, somewhat difficult setting. That is one of the powers of a pen after all. That, combined with the fact people do like tearjerkers and/or darker stories explains the large amount of doujins like that, I suppose. Then again, sinking of a ship girl inside the game itself may actually be more common than what I think. I've sunk a ship girl during my early admiral days too, after all.

Well, I digress. I personally do not like doujins with the sinking of a ship girl or with that sort of a premise, but in practice I often end up liking them to be honest. This doujin is one of the prime examples (SFW and fully translated):

Despite it's very simple art, it became one of my favourite Kancolle doujins. It follows a rather different kind of Kitakami, an almost pathetic one, for who Kiso is a huge bro to. Sample picture to the right:
