For those of you who have not yet heard tragedy hit the SatAM community when news of writer Ben Hurst's death spread throughout the Sonic community. You can find the first topic on this posted by Nique, a friend of Mr. Hurst's here:
http://sonicsatam.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2423After talking it over with John last night, we decided to do a memorial on FUS for Mr. Hurst. Ben was a great source of information for everything we know about SatAM and the "what would be" third season. He has taken part of interviews, live chats, and was always willing to help with anything he could.
I only had the chance to talk to him a few times, he was a good guy to talk to and willing to do a lot for the fans.
So, we would like to take this chance to allow the community to say a few words, post a story on your favourite episode, post some fan art for Ben. Ive already seen a few good drawings out there in memorial of him. Perhaps when Nique is ready she can share a story or two of what Ben has told her, as they were close to each other.
So post a poem, a drawing, a story.. Or even just a few words of whatever you would like to say. Everything posted in here will eventually be put up into a memorial section on the main site. Ben write some great episodes for SatAM as well as giving us plenty of information on the show. Lets show him our thanks eh?
If you aren't a member of the board just email me with whatever it is you would like to contribute. chief_fus@hotmail.com
I think I can speak for the whole FUS team when I say thank you for your respect, and we look foreword to seeing what you submit.
