Thanks for all the Fish
by Olivia_Allin, HSM team writer
It is with a heavy heart that I must announce my departure from Home Station Magazine.
The staff at the magazine has become like my family, and I love each and every one of them. I cannot express how much I have enjoyed being a part of such a wonderful organization. I never considered myself a writer, but with the encouragement of Norse and Terra and the rest of the staff, I was able to put out articles that I will always look back on with pride.
A very exciting opportunity has opened its doors to me and I must pursue it. That is the only reason I would leave! A developer out of Pennsylvania has offered me a lead position in their marketing department. My primary responsibility will be to promote a new game in development for the PlayStation 4. I’m not allowed to say too much about it as it is still in development. But I am allowed to mention the title… Wait for it… Grand Theft Amish.
I’m excited to see their offices in a brand-new freshly raised barn. I was hesitant at first, but they really know how to butter you up and they won me over. But one of the conditions is that I have to keep my mouth buttoned — not zipped — and not spill the beans. But I will say you should look forward to seeing amazing things coming out of this powerhouse.
So to the management, editors, staff and my fan (singular – you know who you are) I bid a fond farewell, and give my notice of effective as of April 1, 2013
Hugs and kisses and sniper misses… Thanks for all the fish

Olivia_Allin is a team writer, photographer, model, curator, graphic artist, researcher and comic relief for HomeStation Magazine; she lives in Texas with her boyfriend, and Home is more than just a game to her. Years ago she discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. On weekends, to let off steam, she participate in full-contact origami. She saw a Bigfoot once, made a sound you never want to hear twice, and was so proud of her Special Olympics gold medal that she had it bronzed. She is, in her own words, adorkable.

I hear the Amish have really nailed computers this era.
No, really, they just hammer them right into that devilish plastic…
Bye Olivia! I LOVE YOOO! (that only fan is me right, RIGHT!?)
Sorry, dude, she meant me. I’m Ollie’s biggest fan.
I totally want this game when it comes out!
I heard this game is rated M for drive by milkings at 3:00 a.m., Sectarian violence, and of course the suggestive barn raisings. Tsk tsk Olivia.
The “pimp your horse” minigame is superb!
Nobody does graphics like you Olivia! I assume when you thank the staff you are referring to me, but I don’t remember any fish.
I always liked in your bio below the article the joke about seeing a bigfoot. Now that I’ve seen the picture by the buggy I believe you are Bigfoot.
Nice idea about the horse and buggy game. With ideas like that you’ll go far in your new job… although it’ll take you a long time.
Good luck!!!
What perish is that exactly? They sound like fun,
and prolly have no problem with outsiders.
