User blog:Smash The Echidna/Six years

It feels awkward to post about this with all that's been going on recently (and with the rather egregious day I've had,) but today marks my 6th anniversary on Sonic Fanon Wiki. Honestly, it really doesn't feel like it's been that long. But not only that, but this month also marks the 10th anniversary of my meeting with my best friend, right around the time I began developing my first characters. That makes March extra special to me. Where has the time gone?

When I stop and think about it though, I've made a lot of progress on my fanon works since I got here. Maybe not so much these past couple years, especially considering I've all but stopped roleplaying, but I've come a long way, and so have my characters. It's been a heck of a ride, too. When I came here, my main man, Smash The Echidna, was a few months away from turning 21. Heck, we were a couple more months away from the timeline in which my fangame, Splice The Hedgehog, takes place! (August 2010)

Way back then, I was actively joining roleplays and all, progressively adding more content to my evergrowing series. Way back then Smash still had dreads...Which is funny to me because I can barely remember him being 'an almost recolor' during my time here. I don't remember when Memph drew that picture that changed it all. Kudos to him for that. That was a major step in the right direction for me.

Back then I was still developing my characters, wondering what kind of new episodes I could add onto Season 3. To be honest I kinda miss those days. Remember Memories of David The Echidna? I was seriously considering ending my whole series with that. By that point all the loose ends, story arcs, backstories and conflicts would have met their end. It was gonna be the grand finale. If Season 4 is anything to go by, that didn't happen. :V I realized that there was more I could work with. Just because cases from the past have been closed, doesn't mean that we can't have new adventures!

Then here we are in 2016. Smash is almost 27 years old, (myself nearing 24,) and I can't believe it's been that long. My last episode, barring the timeskip, was in 2012. The years after that were very slow, as I gradually stopped roleplaying altogether. Instead I'd been looking back over my filled plate, and cleaning up what I got down. My series has changed dramatically from what it originally was, but I'm proud of where it stands now.

What are my plans for today? Well, the day's practically over, now. I'd had half the mind to sleep it all off, but I didn't want to waste the opportunity. So, I'm gonna take the time to give a much needed, long overdue update on what I've been working with Splice The Hedgehog these past few months. On its proper thread, of course. I'm hoping to get some updates on Smash's page in as well. If not today, then sometime this month. I still feel there's a lot to his character and development that I've yet to go in depth about.

Well that's enough of my ramblings. 'Later, people!
