Have a free hour to waste? Spend it reading The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, a twisted tale put together by Chewbot and the Something Awful forums. It's a mixed media production -- consisting of text, screenshots, artwork, audio (radio series-style), and even a Flash animation -- broken into twelve parts. Far from your run-of-the-mill fan fiction, The Terrible Secret is a captivating account of one boy's struggle to hold onto his sanity as he unravels the infernal mysteries governing the town that holds him prisoner. The story goes far beyond your typical "Tom Nook is a crook" plot, suggesting something much more sinister. Peek past the break for a larger version of the amazing promotional poster you see above.

Wow, it's really grown since I last saw it (which was before the audio clips and whatnot)! Looks like I have some catching up to do.

I hadn't been over to that site in years... I was suprised that I remembered the password I used back then and that my account was still active... I don't recognize hardly any of it (and DPPH is sadly missing)

Wow, another external reference! Thank you for the kind comments, I'm still amazed by all the great feedback I've been getting on this.
By the way, the movie poster was done by SA goon Demon Allie. Mad props to her.
