As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
In my opinion the parts of your story itself you released until now can stay as they are; just change the header. The cool thing later on is that you can see the progress you made from the beginning to the point you'll have have reached then. There practically is nothing to be fixed about the story you may not have used descriptions that exact that I as the reader have the same image in my mind as you have in yours, but they're definitely good enough. What I like about using less descriptions sometimes is that it leaves some space for imagination which is a cool thing too.
Pretty weird that KidsCo re-dubs all those shows. The only reason could be that the channels that made the old dubs cleared out their archives and got rid of the SatAM tapes in the process, which would be a shame. Or the licensing fees for the old dubs would've been quite expensive so simply re-dubbing (in that quality) was cheaper.
@ scififry: thanks, I'll be sure to check them out. I love Nena too, that woman has a beautiful voice and her backing band was excellent.
Thank you for the clarification; I think that Hamlin can be seen at the end of the SatAM intro too when all the background FFs are cheering shortly before Sally kisses Sonic. It's just that I've only read one of the Archie comics so far which I saw by coincidence in the local tobacco store. I just checked that one issue and found Geoffrey St. John
Now that I'm filled in on all the characters my point about introducing new characters became partly invalid - you could easily note in the introduction part saying in which universe your story is set that it includes characters, or the names these before unnamed characters got from the comics.
Agreeing with Stranger on the concept being intriguing - haven't read a fanfic (haven't read many yet, though) before, in which a main character got injured this badly, and also with getting to the core of why Mobians are humanoid animals and not just animals.
I see the thing Stranger pointed out of you using relatively little description compared to his fanfic, EoT, from another perspective. Since you stated that it takes place somewhere in mid/late Season 2, I think it's not necessary to describe things that much, e.g. Knothole, as opposed to his fic, in which we're in a somehow different Mobius because it's set about 3 years after the events of Season 3. Everybody here should know what it looks like in Season 2 though so it's in my opinion unnecessary to describe it any further, so a more detailed description would only be necessary for places we don't know yet, like that colony of old concrete buildings. The thing with introducing new stuff applies to characters too of course so I was wondering who Hamlin is. Otherwise I like the fast pace your fic has.
Despite all of this I really enjoyed reading your fic, looking forward to the next parts!
