Penny: The Winged Hamster

Added Date: *Sept 25, 2013
Rating: A (For Anyone)
Genres: Adventure, Action, & Fantasy

A remake of my old Melon Ham fan-fic; Hamtaro The Movie: A New Ham-Ham (that is available to read on my biggest site: Spat and Harmony Heartbreak since I had a big crush on Spat in the past, Melon felt that way as well) but now the name has changed to Penny. She is a pet hamster who hates being locked up in cages and will do anything to get out, owned by a small girl named Sydney. Hamtaro and Oxnard are excited to see a new hamster in town but a hamster named Mainyu kidnaps her! From a hamster who lives in a village (called Ham-Ham Village) she tells Penny to leave the village in case Mainyu strikes again. So, Penny goes on an adventure to escape from his evil grasp.

*It was added to it's mini site on Sept 25, 2013 but the story and the mini site didn't get announced on MPS until Oct 8th of the same year. When Melon's Personal Site was around I hosted my stories through mini sites that linked to MPS.

The Past and Present of The Story

At first the title of this story was going to be 'Melon: The Winged Hamster' but since I decided to change her name to Penny later on it became what the title is now. I stuck with the same idea that I used in my old fic with her being able to get her wings which is how the title came but then I got the idea for Penny to be able to transform into a wolf from an ex-friend of mine and decided to add his character to the story as well but then things got out of hand.. so then I made Hunter (that was sadly a replacement since I didn't like the idea for his character to be in the story anymore..). The story is mixed up.. with adding hamsters being able to transform into wolves even though it doesn't make sense with the part on how Penny got her wings in the first place and has nothing to do with a soon to be winged hamster since I no longer wanted her to be a hamster who can transform into a wolf but kept Hunter and Mainyu. If I took out the two wolf-hams then there won't be any reason to keep Rebecca as well.. since her and Hunter are friends and how Mainyu is her enemy. Even if the story is mixed up and isn't the greatest reason on how Penny got her wings in the first place... I still want to keep it and see if other people than myself like it as well. Besides, it's a lot better than Hamtaro The Movie: A New Ham-Ham. As I look back at that fic.. it's even more messed up than this one and doesn't have Penny being obsessed over someone. I was so weird back then XD but oh well, as the years go by you get better at stuff.

I was going to let Penny meet Hamtaro and Oxnard in order for her to be able to be invited to the clubhouse but I had a hard time thinking of an ending so I decided to create an ending similar to the endings of the Hamtaro episodes where Laura and Hamtaro go to sleep, which wasn't hard at all. Even though it's not mentioned in the story; along with Penny, Sydney is also sleeping. If I ever plain on continuing this story then Penny will be able to meet the ham-hams but since the story line doesn't fit with Penny getting her wings, I probably won't.

Characters

The images for their profiles are old drawings that I drew back in 2010. Hunter and The Old Women's images aren't available since I didn't create them until later but when I make better images for the characters in the future I will but for now enjoy what I have. The characters; Hamtaro and Oxnard are in the story but aren't my characters since this story is fan-made from the anime show; Hamtaro so I will not be making profiles for those characters.
