I know what you did with Thrash was not your intended plans due to outside forces but do you think that Zonic or the other Zone Cops should’ve stepped in and arrested Thrash for his crimes against the entire echidna race, and have him imprisoned in the No Zone Jail and be separated from his sisters for the rest of his life?

When the story it is run through a “certain group of people” it could provide some insightful feedback for “someone”to bring to a “certain”fandom Someway. dose this count as a fan idea I tried to make it a vague as possible so it dose not count.

A crossover between Metroid: Other M… and Other M?

Awf
Question for Kyle: In light of Sonics recent anniversary concert, other gaming companies want to do an hour-long orchestrated concert of their video game music, and they’re letting you pick! What gaming series do you choose to do a symphonic arrangement for?

Let’s come up with a hypothetical situation, where Sally was to be written into a relationship with Shade the Echidna, how well would you be able to adapt that into story form and how would you build up to that moment within said story…?
