Hello everyone.
As we know Halloween isn't too far from now, unless if your Halloween is in September in which case I completely missed the bar.
Anyways, I got a little something cooked up for this Halloween as a Sonic fanfiction so any other fanfiction I done that is in-progress or was planing on doing will be on hold for now. Mainly because the themes of most of them is mostly wintery while the season on this fanfiction is well timed. It won't be a long fanfiction, just something for the season.
Looking at the theme of this story, it has a mixture of genre's really. There is mystery/suspense and adventure as we follow the main character. There is also bits of a horror since it is for Halloween. Bits of Friendship, Hurt and Comfort and Tragedy... lots of tragedy but not enough to get you depressed... I hope.
This will be considered an AU though the world that the name character is in is Sonic's world... ish. Sonic is the main character in this. In a way, It's going to be very much like the Sonic Storybook series games but not completely. Story sort of got inspired straight after I re-watched Over the Garden Wall recently. I recommend that as a good Halloween watch. maybe more creepy than horror but it's still good.
You will see different character from different sonic series and the events that take place will relate to sonic or events of his past. To the chapters will be set as varying little stories, they all tie together to one event. So in a way while you read this story, the challenge is to try and figure out the main story. If at the end your still puzzled by the meaning, feel free send PMs with questions... and not just empty message please (''-_-) or you can even post questions or your theories on whats going on in the reviews. As you read the chapters until the end, everything wil be in metaphor.
Bearing in mind, this story is not an attempt of a head canon for the actual Sonic series. It is a self contained AU story that is making use of the sonic world.
Although I know this is coming late for Halloween, the hole story was meant to be a Halloween special. I've been trying to work with the first chapter and constantly rewriting it, I got stuck with that chapter for a week. Got started on the second chapter. The first chapter has the more obvious reference to Halloween so we'll call it a Halloween premier. I'll still continue with the rest of the story.
I hope you consider this story for your read and have a good Halloween... or hope you enjoyed it. I don't know If I can get this all finished before the official end of the Halloween season as chapters are having to be re-written and re checked and may work out to be quite long so bare with me on that.
Now let us journey together...
