Story Announcement #10

Remember how in my review of Hoot, I briefly mentioned the Cartoon Network series Craig of the Creek? Well, my next story will be a fanfic (fan fiction) centered around the series, called 'Born to be Wild'. In case you're unfamiliar with the show, Craig of the Creek is about African-American boy Craig Williams. He, along with his friends Kelsey Bern, JP Mercer, and Mortimer, Kelsey's pet parakeet, explore the kid utopia known as the Creek, located in their backyard forest.

'Born to be Wild' will center around the gang helping Wildernessa, the self-proclaimed Guardian of Nature, go on an adventure to free some animals from the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, since the show takes place in Maryland. Wildernessa, inspired by San from Princess Mononoke, is a girl, presumably around Craig's age, who wanders the Creek on her Tibetan Mastiff Cheesesticks helping animals in distress. However, she hates humans, even though she's human herself.
As I am typing this, she has only appeared in two episodes: 'Wildernessa' and 'The Great Fossil Rush'. I wanted to write a story that would flesh out her personality into a three-dimensional character, even though there's a good chance we'll see more of here in the future.
As with my other stories, 'Born to be Wild' will have a good amount of Easter Eggs and Author's Notes in every chapter.
Chapter 1 of 'Born to be Wild' will be posted on May 2nd.
