:D HELLO TO MY LOYAL FF.NET FANS!!

This is Cherry speaking.

I've got a few announcements, and I don't talk much, so please, listen up.

1. All fics prior to the release of OtB are being REMOVED. One for being a poem, one for featuring a sue that I killed a few years ago, and one for being lazy, unoriginal, and in script format. I might rewrite the script formatted one into a more...normal story...

2. ONLY THE BEGINNING is on a hiatus, and has been for some time, but I haven't announced this because I've been busy with other things in my life. I apologize for this, but I haven't been able to get a decent version of chapter 7 together to put up here, and because a lot of people seem to like it, I really don't want to put shoddy work up.

3. Because of the previous announcement, I have officially decided to find a beta reader/fic helper...I had one on DA, but we don't talk to much anymore, so I might just look around here.

Thanks so much to my loyal fans, favoriters, and revieweres. Your support really means a lot to me. I promise, when I can get a version of chapter 7, tentatively titled 'Land of the Dead', it will come up here, and updates will resume under a slightly different format...because I've got less ideas for Sonic's side of the story, as well as far less developed characters, the majority of the OtB will feather AMY ROSE and SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG, starting with chapter 8. If I can get Sonic's side up with Amy's, he'll resurface into the spotlight a bit more...

EDIT- Chapter 7 is about halfway through...It's going to officially put Sonic and Maria's story on hold while I expand on Amy and Shadow's 'saga'...
Just a preview of what's to come...Chapter 8 brings Shadow to us, Chapter 9 has guest apperances by Knux and Rouge, and Chapter 10 guest stars Tails. Cream will not be showing up, because she has been cleverly written out.

I also have plans to post character designs on DA, and well as possibly finish the OtB comic...or find another artist to help me =3...
