Welcome to my first Internet Storybook, the first of many, I hope. Just as long as FTP Space can remain readily available and as long as Copyright Lawyers and CDA Thought Police are kept at bay.

Blood and Metal is the first FanFict I wrote; shortly after I got into the Internet via America On-Line. The people who read BAM loved it extremely; just as much twoard the manga-style illostrations that I occasionaly uploaded.

I wanted to put Illustrations in my story, but I didn't know how to do it economically, since I am still a college student. That was until I learned HTML and was able to combine my pictures with my story and put them up on the World Wide Web for all to see. What was produced became the now-defunct Deluxe Edition.

I wasn't quite satisfied with the Deluxe Edition. There were errors to be corrected, graphics that needed fixing. There were some parts I wanted to add in and move around, and lastly, I wanted the story to be packaged like a real book.

This is the result; The Storybook Edition of Sonic The Hedgehog: Blood and Metal. I invite you to return to the cover and bookmark it, and then return whenever you feel like it when you want to read a good story. Also feel free to use the hypertext links to see the many liner notes that show the background of the story. And basically, I hope you enjoy this as much as I did creating it. Who knows? Maybe I'll be enticed, er, inspired, to make more of these.
