Hello all!
I thought before I started this story, I best post a little note about WHY I'm writing it and, more specifically, why I'm writing it NOW.
Let me take you back to September 29th 2010, when one of the best 'Over The Hedge' fan fictions was published, 'Over My Head' by the glorious Cadd9.
As many of you Over the Hedge lovers will know, this story was sadly never completed. However, the story was a really important part of my childhood, and still all these years later, it's stayed with me.
You may think this is slightly strange, how can a STORY mean so much to someone? Well, it was the friends I made in the review section that were truly important to me. You can tell how important, because here I am nearly 10 years later.
As it's drawing up to the 10 year anniversary since 'Over My Head' was published, I've been feeling very nostalgic for those days. To commemorate the anniversary, I've decided to continue the story in my own interpretation (As I've not heard back off Cadd9 over whether this is okay, or know how he intended to end the story).
So even if this fandom is dead, and no one ever reads this apart from me. I just wanted to say a goodbye to my childhood really! I was 12 when I first read this story and now I'm coming up to 22. What better way to say goodbye then a tribute to the story I loved.
So, I'm going to finish the story of 'Over My Head' as best as I'm able! I'm going back to school in September to study creative writing so this should be good practise! It may be a little more mature then Cadd9 intended it to end, but hay we are all older now!
So I hope you enjoy this story, and of course if Cadd9 is out there and decides he doesn't want me to continue this story, I will take it straight down.
Much love,
Chicky :)
