Before We begin let me make this perfectly clear here. I am by no means an accomplished writer in fiction. The only experience I have in story telling of any kind is a couple of event stories I wrote for my local newspaper as a journalist and a couple of fan fictions I have helped a couple guys out with in both co-writing and editing. Other then that, I have had absolutely no experience in writing fiction prior to writing this. So If my story telling skills are off or you see major holes in my story, please go easy on me. The point of this is to show how I feel IDW Sonic would have been at least more interesting and memorable then what we got
Personally, I think it's lovely that you've created a community for artists who are still learning it's a great setting for critique and the artists involved will grow exponentially as a result! It's wonderful and exciting!
