I was sitting in my room last night when I heard the news that Jerry was gone. My little brother came in and told me. I haven't been on MC in a while, but I had to come and go through this with you guys! I thought about a lot of things that night, and I have an idea.
The Muppeteers have said repeatedly that they don't want young people just copying what they do (I"m not being mean about fan stuff when I say this) so I have this idea for a thread where aspiring creative people of all kinds can post bits and pieces of non-muppet stuff they've done and get it critiqued. I thought this up because one thing I learned from the Muppets is is that creativity is one of the best ways to inspire people. I think that when the original Muppeteers have all passed, they will want us to have unique ideas of our own, and remember their creative legacy while at the same time creating our own.
I probably haven't explained this very well. I love fanfiction and fanart ( why would I have written my stuff otherwise?) I just think that the muppeteers (Jerry was a member of this site) like jerry, Jim, and Richard, would have liked to see what universes we could dream up. Sinct they are gone now, I think one of the best ways to pay homage to them is to share these visions with each other-you know?
Even if you are, like me, afraid that your non-fan story will get stolen by internet plagiarists, or just not all that comfortable with your creative ability, you can still come to offer your opinion or even post bits and pieces of your work! This thread is open to everyone! So go get your art supplies, writing paper, and whatever else it is that you use, if you think this is a good idea. We love you Jerry! *goes off to change signature to reflect Jerry's passing*
