Misty Rain Garden * Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon series is popular- I mean, how can it not be?! Who wouldn't love planting seeds, watering crops, playing with your dog, wooing your future wife, making friends with the villagers, learning about all the intricate lives that the other villagers lead, fishing, taking care of cows, sheep, chicken, and a horse on top of a million other things?!
I've been into the game since way back in the '64 days... (Yeah, look at me talk!) and have tried to keep on top of everything and constant all the way up to here and now, the days of the beautiful, utterly unique Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. *insert magical pretty angel singing music*
And now that it's here, I'm going to put all my love of it out for everyone to see- so I can show off. XD

Guides and basic information on Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life can be found at the wonderful Harvest Moon Otaku. This site is really great- its run by six admins, well organized, and contains all the basic information you could ever need. However, I'm after the more unique stuff.
I will post, eventually, a couple guides on things like plants, animals, and my speciality- villagers. I'm going to have all sorts of hints and tips as well... but if I wanted to make this site just to inform people, I'd be joining tons of sites already out there. I want to get my own unique flavor of the game out for other people to admire.
Stories, on-going reports of my farms, opinons on villagers, and a special section that will list the requirments for special scenes, but not ruin the scene itself, will be added over time, so enjoy!

About to update with a few HM things, but until then, I'm getting started on a brand-new fanfic called A Wonderful Life. It sounds unoriginal, but just read it and view the meaning. Only chapter one is up now, but I'll get more up soon!

I'm going to work on a whole new level with the new knowledge that I've been gaining thanks to surfing sites and spending more time reading about Harvest Moon: AWL than I have been playing it!
What I'll be gathering, information wise~

All the triggers (JUST triggers- I dun wanna spoil anything for you~!) for the character events.
The selling prices for the various quality of the hybrid plants.
The cross-breeding effects of the cows! Like, if you breed a normal cow and a star cow, I've heard a rumor that if you breed them then you get a marble cow!
How soon you can get the seed maker by befriending Daryl.
