Hey guys!

I'm back from vacation and better than ever! This isn't really a one-shot, more like an announcement page (ok yeah there might be a one-shot... NOT). The reason I didn't want this to be in a one-shot because it would make people feel like I was using announcements to beef up my word count. So here they are (they're really important DONT SKIP THEM)

1. I decided to get off my lazy arse and write a real LEGIT story for TF2 (I've started one for Don't Starve and I'm re-writing it right now, and I started up a couple other ones not getting any attention at all, and I'll release a minecraft story the same day as the TF2 and will announce it here...) AND I NEED IDEAS! Well I already have ideas and I wanted to have a vote. I will be writing two of these stories:

A. ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE FREAKING ONE-CHARACTER-IS-FEMININE AND EVERYONE ELSE TRIES TO IMPRESS HER if you choose this please state which character you'd like to see fem

B. The Tenth. A girl called Lily who had some... 'surgery' by Mann Co when she needed to hide from criminal organizations around the world. Epic escalating plot and slowly revealing an epic backstory (created by one of you in a contest I will announce in the course of the story)

C. Pineapples. All about pineapples by the Team Fortress 2 characters. This one was meant to be a joke so if you pick this one... It will say a lot about you. Namely the fact that you're like me and you really like pineapples.

D. Ceasefire. What happens when there's a ceasefire. This was meant to be a one-shot but hey! Maybe I could make a pretty good story out of it!

THAT WAS YOUR VOTE! Please don't PM me what you want just because you want your vote to be private, I'm also making a closed poll that will end when I announce the winner here. Probably by August 10th, so vote fast!

2. I'm making a new steam group called Mannly Group in steam for you guys and my new youtube channel coming up. It will be up by the time I publish this notice to you guys. Please join to participate in my Starbound, Team Fortress 2, Don't Starve (coming to multiplayer), Minecraft, and other videos!

3. Acknowledgements. Seriously, you guys are the best. Unless you guys write yourself, and I think I speak for the whole writing community here:

It takes us soooo much courage to start up a story we hope will not get negative feedback (happened to me once, someone said some stuff that made me feel crappy about releasing that story and I deleted it out of the web. Looking back I see how it was actually a really bad story)

You guys did nothing of the sort.

YOU, yes you, reading these nonsense word when you could be off doing better things, you are my inspiration, my light, and my REASON. You are the reason I take time to give you guys these clumps of bad grammer that somehow still make the cut.

You have noone to thank for this but you.

Well, I guess me too, but the whole community is THE inspiration for all those writers on the web.

So next time you read one of my works, one of ANYONE's works,

Think of what a good job you've done.

NOW THAT WE'RE DONE WITH ALL THIS LET'S GET TO WORK WITH THE INTERVIEW! (Yeah, I lied, Scout's interview is here. Please join the steam group though, it'll mean a lot to me. Or you can friend me - Mannly Mann is my current steam name. I'll update it if I ever change it, but I change it often so just join the group.)

Review acknowledgements will be in the next chapter because you guys had to sit through sooo much nonsense shit already.

Some of the questions were by me and my friends when I told them I was doing an interview for Scout. Don't worry, all of your questions are here.

Q: So Scout! You're the first person in the lineup of the game, how does that make you feel?

A: What game? You made a game out-a' us? I dunno 'bout it, but let's just say that it makes me feel like I chugged down a hundred cans of dem Bonk! and had a couple ubers fired at me at the same time. You have no idea, no idea how much that hurts.

Q: Why did you mess up your lines so much?

A: Why don't you try not messing up ya know ya got 'bout a couple million people linin' up ta watch your vid.

Q: Er... Seven Million and a few, actually.

A: Shit, man, ya guys watched that clump of pics seven million times? Ya guys are messed up.

Q: OK, a question from IcedFireFrenzy: During Halloween when you have your Scary Hat on, why do you sometimes blame the hat for one of your mistakes?

A: Because it scares me man! That thing is like fuckin' haunted or somethin'.

"Oooooooo, I'm a scary hat, and I'm gonna haaaauuuuuunt yoooooouuuuuuuu..."

A: SHIT RUN!

Q: Two from Marezin: What's yer favorite type of hat? And do you smell funny when covered in Jarate?

A: WEEEELL, I have a few, but the funniest would be dat hot dogger. I know, it's not very funny or somethin', but you can always rely on it for a snack.

... Also I'd like to see you not smell bad when covered in dat sniper's piss.

Q: Question from someone by PM (obviously that someone wanted his/her name not to be mentioned and that's why he sent it to me by PM): Y U SO FAST BRA?

A: Y U SO SLOW, BRA?

Ok, guys, I'm off to write a one-shot that someone described like this:

Krulla Chief chapter 5 . Jul 16
Heres an idea:SIR ISAAC NEWTON IS THE DEADLIEST SON OF A BITCH IN SPACE

Yeah that's gonna be interesting.

Join the steam group and send in your questions for interview 2: SOLDIER (Which will involve him screaming maggot a lot)
