    INTERVIEW: Höbin asks Finley Greenhopper about Fungal Horrors

    This was not what I was expecting for my first interview, but here it is. During my personal tour of H1-C-FIN101 (a.k.a. PINWHEEL), armed with my cheap portable recorder, I was shoved into a decontamination chamber to avoid being assimilated by a walking, human-sized fungal parasite chasing Finley and I.  Under the hum of the air exchangers, I try to ask what questions I can think of. I was actually here to talk with Finley about the classifications fo dragons he'd discovered--but sometimes you just get what you get when in the field and doing things live. If you'd like to read the actual article on the Fungal Horror, you can find it here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/wantedhero/a/fungal-horror-species - Höbin

    MUSIC: Chucks Theme Song (never thought this would happen)

    WantedHero.com continues to expand and expand.  Three more composers have come on board to craft music for this epic fantasy world, and Tyler Eddington, a US composer, worked with me to shape what we now present to you: Chucks Theme Song No one knows how old he is.  He's forgotten more about magic than most mägo have learned, His greatest gift and most painful curse, is seeing the past, present, and future at the same time. ...and no one really knows how much Chuck truly knows. In the end, he's always a bit...off. And we love him dearly. ----- Make sure to satisfy your Fiction-Addiction over at WantedHero.com, you can watch Jaime draw live on TWITCH, see us on YouTube... and we now have a new DISCORD community--so JOIN US!!
