User blog:Sunshineandravioli/A TSI Preview, and a Bunch of Other Random Stuff I'm Sure None of You Care About

If the title of this blog doesn't tell you what it's about, well, I dunno what will. I can't help you. XD

Anyhoo, here's a little preview of Total Sonic Island chapter 3, which I have been working on. It doesn't have a title quite yet (I need to find a good quote) but I have something in mind. If I'm lucky and put a lot of work into it, I might have it up within one or two weeks! ^^ So, here's a little preview to satisfy you.

''Last time on Total Sonic Island… our 22 unsuspecting creatures had to face their first challenge: jumping off a cliff into shark-infested waters! Some made it and impressed their competitors, others chickened out and put a target on their backs. In the end the Chaos Emeralds won the challenge and the advantage in part two: building a hot tub! After many insane events involving seagulls, conflicts, and explosions, the Chaos Emeralds were declared the winners! Unsurprisingly, it was Omega who was forced to walk the Dock of Shame, thanks to his random outbursts that were often accompanied by weaponry. Stay tuned for the most dramatic episode yet of… TOTAL! SONIC! ISLAND!''

It is a clear, sunny morning in Muskoka, Ontario, particularly Camp Wawanawkwa. Exhausted from the previous day’s challenge, twenty-one creatures sleep unsuspectingly in their cabins. Outside, Chris approaches with a megaphone and an air horn. “I love this job,” he chuckles, placing the air horn against the megaphone. He then proceeds to blast the air horn, the noise cutting through the quiet of the early morning and snapping nineteen of the twenty-one contestants awake (Vector blasting music too loudly through his headphones to notice, and Big simply sleeping through it).

“Anger management…” Knuckles mumbles to himself, his fists clenched. “Anger management… think happy thoughts… happy thoughts… like killing the host…”

“This had better be good,” Rouge growls, coming out of the cabin. “A girl needs her beauty sleep, you know.”

“Oh, this is good,” Chris retorts, grinning. “It’s time for your second challenge!!!”

“YAAAY!!!! A CHALLENGE!!!” Charmy cheers, buzzing around his much less enthusiastic teammates.

“Sleep now…” Silver moans, drowsily leaning his head on Blaze’s shoulder. “Challenge later…”

“I never thought I’d say this,” Shadow comments, “but, I have to agree with the psychic cockatiel.”

“I thought he was a hedgehog,” a confused Chip comments, nibbling at a chocolate bar.

“I think he’s talking about his hair,” Sonic laughs, gesturing to Silver’s “unique” hair.

“It does this naturally!!!” Silver wails, blushing as he attempts in vain to straighten the strangely cockatiel-like hairstyle.

“Um… hello? Back to me, guys,” Chris complains, gesturing to himself. “Anyway, you guys are going to do a jog around the island and meet back at the mess hall!”

“Please tell me that’s a joke…” Shadow groans.

“Aw, c’mon, Shaddy!” Marine chirps, punching Shadow in the arm. “We can handle it! Cap’n Marine’s team isn’t losin’ today!!!”

Shadow gives her an annoyed glare, then growls, “it’s Shadow. Not ‘Shaddy’, Shadow. Got it?”

“I am not running around the island before seven AM,” Julie-Su complains, stubbornly folding her arms.

“Come on, you guys, try to think positively,” Tikal suggests. “Just think of it as an opportunity to commune with nature!” Much to her dismay, her teammates merely give her blank, incredulous stares; in fact, so does Chris and the other team. Glancing to his teammates, Jet points to Tikal, then makes a “she’s crazy” gesture.

“You know, somehow I don’t think my teammates are really taking me seriously,” Tikal confesses, a worried look on her face.

...yeah, I know that was lame. It's going to get better from there, trust me. Moving, on, since this is my blog, I'm going to talk about random stuff that I want to talk about (whether you guys like it or not XD)!

First of all, recently I've really gotten into Megatokyo. For those of you that don't know (which I think is most of you), Megatokyo is an online webcomic inspired by Japanese manga. The series follows Piro, a quiet, insecure anime and manga fan, and Largo, a mega-gaming-fan who's debatedly insane. After an incident at E3, they go to Japan, only to end up stuck there, and the rest of the story follows their wonderfully hilarious misadventures (featuring ninjas, giant monsters, magical girls, retired superstars, and a hamster! XD). I found and read the first published volume of the series and loved it, then proceeded to read the rest at Megatokyo.com (where you can read the series if you're interested). Personally, I feel Megatokyo is a wonderful series; it has a great balance of humor, insanity, emotion, and drama. I highly recommend it to anyone with some free time and a love for that kind of thing (I suggested it to Chimmy the other day, she then spent at least an hour reading strips and loving them). MEGATOKYO FTW!

Secondly, as I'm sure most of you know by now, the 25th was my wiki-birthday. I've officially been on this site for more than a year, and I couldn't be happier. In just this year, I've wrote several stories (and haven't finished any of them XD), gotten adminship, and made lots of friends. I love the community, and though many of the people I knew when I first came here are now on rarely or not at all (I miss ya, TDI19, Redflare, Ricky, Sorrie, Zak, and all the rest!!!), I'm now friends with a lot of the new users who have joined (Chimmy, Nonny, Turnertang, Kenzen, NIzzy, Sprink, Gigi, and anyone who I forgot/was too lazy to list!!!) and I'm truly proud to be part of such a wonderful community, one that's still growing and expanding today. Thanks, guys. :)

And finally, if y'all would me kind enough to respond to my desperate cry for help, that'd be great. Thanks!

That's all folks! Pixie out, and yes, I'll get back to writing TSI and the TWE finale (both of which are going pretty well and will hopefully be finished and up in less than two weeks ^^).
