Howdy there  MrNeedlemouse here,
So i really fell off the band wagon here and I am sorry for that, it was kind of a disconnected year for me.
there were some issues with work, computer issues, family matters with the property, and I have several art pieces I was waiting for on my account that have yet to be done or worked on for about a year. So all in all, I was a little disconnected with things and that got absorbed into an obsession with Destiny 2 on PC, but I'm gonna work to fix that and be more active this year.

Was awesome running into Buttons (even though ya called me a porcupine =p) and pretty sure I saw Lenny at Texas Furry Fiesta.
would be pretty sweet to catch more of y'all around, though we are pretty spread out.

I'm gonna see about trying to get more art for the page this year, and maybe over the summer I'll see about a group piece for the page.
Currently its late and I have work in the morning but I'll be sifting through the sonic swamp tomorrow so expect me to get caught up on favoriting ya'll pieces here shortly.


And if any one plays Destiny on PC message me, I need people to play with!

Howdy there  MrNeedlemouse here,

Since it is past the first I think it is safe to say it is not a prank.
The Page is back and running! Hope everyone is doing well.
I'd like to thank everyone who is still here and a big hello and welcome to all the new visitors!
So a couple of exciting bits of news, I'd like to get a big welcome for  FatalSyndrome!
He is gonna be stepping up in helping run the group and bring more to the social side of things!
Speaking of social, We've started discord! Now before we go off the deep end, there is still some
setup work to be done, and things are looking to be more of a hangout online setting than
A group for planning meet ups IRL but there is room to grow ideas for the future.
The join link is https://discord.gg/ansy3k6 so feel free to say hello!
Things are in development so we will be changing thing slowly, suggestions are always welcome though!

From FA_Hedgehogs!

 mrneedlemouse Here, sorry for the quiet past month or so.
Things kind of swamped me at the end of last year but new year, new ambition!

So the current plan for the new year is I plan on trying to have at least a sketch of our mascots Krista and Marshmallow for each month at the minimum.
I'll be looking at the options for having another group picture done this year, but personal finances are a priority over group items, since I am a solo act.
Group gift art will be highly appreciated!

I'm up for suggestions for things to do for the group for the new year, so leave a comment or shout!

Looking to see some awesome things in the new year!

Howdy ya'll!

 mrneedlemouse here, I wanted to apologize for the brief inactivity lately. school kinda pulled me away from things and I got sucked up into some IRL stuff. I'm planning on getting a couple pieces for the group, so keep on the lookout!
also, don't forget to check through the favorites for new finds!

Howdy Ya'll!  mrneedlemouse here!

So there hasn't been much activity as far as uploads and journal posting for the past month, and I apologize for that. things have been a little rough IRL lately but don't forget to check out the favorites as I log in every other day to browse the site and find great hedgie works to fav and see!

Now, there are some current group related things in the works, for those wondering, however with current conditions they will be slow coming about. hopefully things will change a bit in the coming few months. So keep your eyes open!

Thanks for reading!

Howdy ya'll!
who else is dressed up like me in three layers of clothing!
anywho  mrneedlemouse here, sorry for the seaming bout of inactivity
School has been kicking me around and I let things get a little out of hand.

updates: currently waiting on a sketch of Marshmallow and Krista in a holiday theme Sketch.
Other: I dressed up the page a little and gave it some color.
:if anyone has some suggestions to further gussy it up, let me know:

But that is about it for now, trying to plan out the next group picture. Thinking of going with the Mario cart one, having the drivers bunny hopping several hills with two cars on each hill. will let you all in on it more once things settle down after finals.

See you on the flip side! don't be afraid to comment!

Howdy,  mrneedlemouse here,
So the group picture of "hedgehog mafia is on last call for anyone interested in getting in on the piece.
After that we will have the next one coming, I'm waiting for my accounts to fill a little. School really smacked me this semester....
I'll be working on talking to the artist to see about getting a sketch up and seeing how many people are going to in it.


Hey everyone,  mrneedlemouse here,
its been a bit of a freak week and I'm kinda getting a handle on things finally.
I'm with school coming up,and having just finish a crazy summer of house hold projects, I'm gonna start with keeping all my plates clean. I'm gonna be taking a little break from my main account and focus on things here.
I'm talking to the artist for the beach picture, and with my next paycheck I should get a sketched out idea for everything, then everyone can chip in for their place. as for those wondering about the HM piece,  fatalsyndrome is working on the preliminaries and should have something out soon with the YCH spots.
Other new is I'm working on a tumblr for our page as I know some people spend their time running around on there. I'm going to be working on tying it into the existing group page. and maybe adding in features like a chat box and some other stuff, may setup an ask box on it as well for admin questions (notes here are still acceptable).
I'm also going to work on the main part of the page and try to "pretty" it up a little more to be more appealing.

Any comments, questions, suggestions? stories of your life?

here,
So the last week and so slipped me by as I was swept up to Chicago on a trip. But I didn't let that hold me down much, aside no time on my laptop. YOU CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH ON A PHONE!!! That being said, here is what is going on:

The most popular choice was park/beach (though not many took advantage of the multiple selection part of it)
So it a toss up of if we want our hedgies to go to a:
Park (trees, green shrubbery, picnic planket...)
Or a Beach (sandcastles, Orona surfing, Zing mixing some beats, Urbie giving Winchester a sand body with breasts... These are just suggestions people....)


So ya'll get to decide on where we are gonna go, keep it friendly and toss your ideas of what you'd like your character doing!


Now, as for the hedgehog mafia picture... I understand that some of ya'll are not fans of gangs, mobs, shoot-em-ups, and such. But don't worry, you don't have to be in them.
It was something fun that I decided to carry over from the original group...
which is currently underway. I purchased this myself so it has set characters, BUT there is going to be YCH spots if you decide you want your character in. You will see the YCH posted on the page.
There will be at least two opportunities you nab a spot for the YCH based on interest

that all said, I hope to see lots of participation from the group!!
Let the comments roll

Howdy Ya'll!
 Mrneedlemouse here with the next month! So things are kinda slow with finding more hedgie art as I believe I have found most of what was floating around FA, half of the stuff tag hedgehog being because its part of the sonic uni- and being tag hedgehog because of it.
So having dug through all of that... I think its time to add more antho hedgehog art! starting with a Group Pic!
we have a couple suggestions! (hedgehog restaurant theme, Super Mario Bro, Smash Bros, Mario Cart, Park, Beach, Roller Coaster, Water Park, dance, game night) If we come up with more, I'll add them in ^^.
Big news is we are at (if you haven't counted) 20, Character spotlights! Woo! Hedgehogs!

So, for participation in this journal - Please vote on which Group Picture Idea you would like!
You can choose more than one, one with the most will be the first choice for the group!

Howdy everyone
 mrneedlemouse here, time for June updates.
So, things are a little quite due to my life being really busy, brother graduated and we are overhauling the property because of it.
So I've gotten some art we're waiting on for the group, and I was thinking about looking into some group pictures once bills go through.
Anybody have suggestion? Talking to  FatalSyndrome about a mafia themed one, once he finishes the current group picture.
I'm working on some code for the page to try and beautify it.
Then, I was thinking about looking for some help managing and running the page.
its small now, but I'm hoping for us to grow as we go down the road.

Howdy ya'll!  mrneedlemouse here.
Finals have been over so I'm gonna put some effort into building the page and group up a little. maybe an irc?
I'm thinking of building some directories for all the hedgehogs and try a couple things.
I'm also getting the reference for marshmallow so his spotlight will be up shortly.
That being said, I'm out of reply's for spotlights, so once the albino's reference is done, it time to start getting group art!
that's is it for now.
comments? questions? Stories of your day?
its raining cats and dogs out here!

 MrNeedlemouse here,
Hope everyone has been enjoying the spotlights! (however slow the roll out is)
And I wanted to say thank you to all who have responded.

 mrneedlemouse here,
So, I'd like to apologize for the past week as I didn't get around to things like I had planned. work kept me busy as I was being trained for a new position and my brother through the house out of wak as he needed to be picked up from across country from springbreak. still that is no excuse for dropping things like I did.

Now, I promised to be active, but there is only so much activity on an FA page. I'm working on a list of all the hedgehogs on FA to figure out who to send emails to and am creating a questionnaire to fill in with things about your character. now I'm only one person who is working close to full time and going to class with homework on top of that, and mobile only goes so far... if people would be interested with helping moderating and can prove you're not just going to hijack the page. it'd be appreaciated.
note here or catch me on skype tomorrow at Mr.Needlemouse and we can chat

Alright,  mrneedlemouse here;
So next week is and I plan on getting going on posting every Hedgehog with permission and a bio (linked to artist and owners) to kinda give this page a push.
I'm looking for full figures clothed preferably, but artistic nudes will work.
If you feel like helping out, comment or note the link to the picture you'd like to use and give a bio for the character. I'll edit the journal to have an example format later when I'm home for the day.

but if you don't reply, be expecting a note soon asking to post your character.

catch ya fuzballs later. ~Needlemouse

 mrneedlemouse here,
Like the title says.

I'm looking for Ideas on how to go about keeping this page "active"
I'm currently working on the ref for Marshmallow and am going to be
posting things of him and probably other hedgehogs, but what do you
expect from the group? How often do you like "updates,"
once a week, once every 2 weeks, once a month? and what
are you expecting the updates to be like?

And content, what are you expecting to see. I'm planning on
Marshmallow popping in shots with other characters, but would you
like to have individual hedgehog character shots posted with
their stories, personality, and of course credits being linked back
you and the artist(s) page?

All participation helps with this, so if you like something or have
and idea ya want looked at post it!

If you another hedgehog not watching, bop their head and tell
them to watch and participate in this "pointy" community.

Howdy Y'all
 Mrneedlemouse here!
I've gotten to work finally and I'm looking for suggestions for how to dress up the front page better and content to put up.
I've currently been up all night so I'm gonna be napping for a bit after posting this.
Current things I want to do are work on getting are
1.) reference done for the page's mascot Marshmallow, the "burnt quill tips" albino hedgehog mechanic/80's music loving dancer.
2.) is kinda build a members list of the hedgehog characters and members of the group/fa.

other suggestions are open. discuss in the comments!
