Hmmm... Things to talk about today...

1. "The Story Board" Changes
2. Awards
3. My Day
4. Sonic Generations
5. Mention story
6. My "Let's Play"

Hello everyone! I am that new person mentioned on the last blog. My name is Hedgestar and I've been writing since 2008. From then until now, I hold more than 250 characters (although, not all of them have been written into a story).

I love to write, play video games, watch Let's Players, listen to music from old, animated cartoons, and my favorite movie of all time is The Brave Little Toaster. I get inspiration for my stories in just about every way possible (dreams, ideas, leftover toothpaste in the sink, etc.)

But, let's move onto some of my stories!

FictionPress is here

Well, it's official. I'm excited. We have our first author joining us from FictionPress.com. As you all should know, FictionPress is FanFiction's sister site for original works of Fiction. As in not based on other content from video games, movies, already published books, TV, et cetera.
For more details, and how to tell the two target sites apart on our story board, continue reading the post.

Alcohol Awareness

I recently learned that October is Alcohol Awareness month, a time to reflect on the dangers of over use and over-consumption of alcohol. In honor of this month, and the millions killed each year, I present to you, the music video for my favorite band's song, Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?). Please take the time to view the music video in it's entirety. I am aware of the fact that this player does not work on the site, but it does provide a link to the video on YouTube, do not let this deter you from the song's important message. The song in and of itself was written in honor of the lead singer's girlfriend, killed in an accident by a drunk driver, or so I understand. At the end of the video is a fact that I will re-type here for emphasis, because if this hits home for even one person, than this has been worth it.

Traffic accidents are the number one killer of teens. One-Third of these accidents are alcohol-related.

 Without further ado: Simple Plan.

Before I sign off, I want to explain something so we don't get a flurry of comments about it. In the video, when the family goes flying off in co-ordination with the crash, it is supposed to be representative of the fact that more than just the people in the car are affected by the crash. This should be obvious to most, but some people won't get this off the bat, hence this explanation. Good night everyone, and remember, don't drink and drive.

Small Update...

Well, mostly out of boredom (and determination), I was able to finish the second chapter of Baby Legendaries and get it posted, a couple of days after posting the full eighth chapter of A Being of Insect and Steel. Currently hoping to continue this streak with regular updates now.
