Sonic the Hedgehog Chronicles Chronicals

Over the course of a few months in 1997 and 1998, I tried to write Sonic fanfiction. I had big plans, wanting to create a saga called the Sonic the Hedgehog Chronicles. It was meant to not only be an adaptation of every Sonic game that existed, but give origin stories to the characters, fill in the blanks, show multiple generations of Sonic’s descendents, crossover with other SEGA titles...

It was perhaps a bit ambitious for a twelve year old.

Though I wrote them with the intent of putting them on my AOL Hometown website, I never got around to uploading them there, or anywhere. I only sent one copy of my first story, “The Hidden Palace Zone,” to one person. After I e-mailed them, they promptly stopped talking to me. Was it related? Heck, maybe.

For over two decades, they’ve just been sitting in a folder on some dusty floppy disc. Not that long ago, I found them again, printed copies I had put in a three-ringed binder. Because I couldn’t find the original files for most of these, I transcribed the printed versions as best I could. Why? Considering everything else that’s on this website, I figured, “eh, if I house other people’s bad fanfics, why not mine?”

Warning: these aren’t very good. But if you’ve clicked here, I don’t think you were expecting them to be.

Biography of Tails and Knuckles

The first story in the binder, the “secret origins” of Tails and Knuckles are told. For some reason, they both have evil twin brothers. They were based on pallette glitches, which was good enough for my twelve year old self to make them evil. I guess?

The Sonic the Hedgehog Chronicals

Things kick off with another story about a Sonic character having an evil twin brother. And then another evil brother who was born later. Then, one chapter steals all the dialogue from the promotional comic for the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. This is all very original, I swear.

The Hidden Palace Zone

The first Sonic fanfic I ever wrote. I remember being pretty pleased with this one at the time. Even when I scrapped “Chronicals,” I tried to rewrite this story over the next few years. Not sure why, now.

Sonic: Man of the Year

Based on the animated short from Sonic Jam, so bothered was I that it ended on a cliffhanger, I wrote an ending. It’s what you’d expect a twelve year old to come up with.

A Sonic Christmas

Knuckles hosts Christmas on the Floating Island. Eggman plans something evil, but then the plot from A Christmas Carol interrupts his schemes. Gasp?!

Virtual Sonic

In 1996, SEGA released an album called Virtual Sonic. I bought it for seven dollars. Listening to it over and over, I went “aw yeah I’m gonna adapt this and turn it into a story!” Not intended to be the finale, since it’s the last thing I wrote, it becomes one now. Whoops.

I do have a small journal which includes brief plot descriptions of the numerous sequels and spin-offs I had planned to write in this fanfic cycle, but as it’s all in middle school cursive , I can’t be bothered to transcribe it. Maybe at a later date, the full scope of a misspelled fanfic will be revealed to the masses, but until then...umm...enjoy?

Return.
