  2. Remembering Jim Henson
    It's hard to believe that it has been 23 years since Jim's passing on May 16, 1990. Share your memories of May 16, 1990 and the impact Jim Henson continues to have on your life.

  4. Muppet Newsgirl Active Member

    Yeah, those little rodents have quite a few quotable lines.

    "Aw, Marge, compose yourself!"
    "More like compost yourself!"

    Sometimes Philo and Gunge are hard to tell them a part.
  6. Easy way to remember, just match the first letters of the name and the color!
  7. Collgoff Well-Known Member

    True but the voices sound the same if you know what I mean.

    One thing I noticed about the voices after a while is that Philo's voice is higher than Gunge's. I dunno if that helps any but thought you'd like to know anyway.

    Hello! Don't mean to interrupt this thread. Gunge is the grey rat with one tooth and Philo is the pink rat with two teeth. The catchphrase I love is "The all-knowing Trash Heap. Nyeahhh!" LOL!

    It took me a long time before I was able to figure out which one was which. I finally just resorted to memorizing which was which by just saying over and over "Philo is pink, Gunge is grey."
  11. GopherCoffee Member

    You mean "the all-KNOWING, all-SEEING Trah Heap! Nyeaah!"
  12. muppetfan24/7 Well-Known Member

    Ooooh! Yep! Thank you for correcting me, 'cause I forgot what the actual wording from Philo & Gunge was. Oops! :sigh:
  13. GopherCoffee Member

    That's OK, friend, always happy to help out!
    PS: I was just looking at your story on another thread and I think you are VERY, VERY talented!!! I was just wondering, it'd make me really happy if we could please be friends?
  14. muppetfan24/7 Well-Known Member

    Sure! We can be friends! What thread was it that had my story and what was it called?
  15. GopherCoffee Member

    The thread and the story are both called Remembering Jim Henson. I really like how you've written for the characters as they all sound right, but its just confusing in some ways (if you don't mind a tiny bit of criticism:) I don't quite understand who Mike Quinn is and I just don't know about certain things such as why Doc and Sprocket and Marjory aren't mentioned (from what I've read so far and how do we know the neighbours exist? (I mean, they might exist, but I've never heard anything about Karen Prell's neighbours before...)

    Oh, and I've come up with an idea for a story of my own! It's called "Boober and The Great Laundry Thief" and it's about how Boober's just spent a really peaceful, blissful night doing his beloved laundry and he wakes up in the morning, his bed and room are all messed up and damaged or broken and he is SO upset and then he goes outside and realizes ALL of his laundry is gone, his washtub is lying down on the ground, broken, his clothesline is broken and everything is really horribly wrong. Later on, he realizes that he too is in a mess and everything is really, HORRIBLY wrong!!! What has happened and why? ( I had a weird dream last night about Boober getting, hypnotized to put on a black mask, and say things like, "I LAUGH in the face of danger! Ha! I LAUGH in the face of DEATH!! Haha!! I LAUGH in the face of LAUNDRY!!! Hahaha! Befall before me, my loyal slaves or I will..." and then my dream ended. I don't know what happens next, but I know that much...) Doc plays a trick on Sprocket at night, with Doc in a really weird costume, trying to get Sprocket scared or frightened to see how dogs (namely Sprocket) responds to fear. Uncle Traveling Matt visits a fancry dress party/ball complete with a pantomime show and wonders how the Silly Creatures put up with it all. Please let me know what you think and if it is worth writing or not... (Keep in mind I have only JUST today finished Season One...)

    Oh my gosh! I'm glad you're reading my fanfic, but ugh it is so imcomplete and now I am so out of ideas. Please help me and how I do edit this fanfic. Mistake after mistake makes feel like not a good writer.

    What are your ideas that I can try to make this fanfic a whole lot better.
    I knew I forgot about the Trash Heap including Philo & Gunge.

    You should write your own FR fanfic. This MC forum does need a little bit of magic anyway.
  17. GopherCoffee Member

    Well, if you really want to change it, even though it's just beautiful as it is, even though I haven't read the whole thing yet, here's something I would do: When you are speaking about the performers wanting to talk to their corresponding Fraggles, you mention each one wanting to have a long talk, a serious talk, a conversation and a talk and some playtime.
    You show how the serious talk and the long talk with Boober and Dave and Gobo and Jerry, respectively but you don't show the others. If I were you I'd start by doing that. Or you could just leave it as beautiful as it is.



    I know, but I want to do the right story and I want to be true to the characters. Please tell me if the idea's any good or if it is terrible. If it is terrible, I'll just throw it out and start again, don't worry.
  18. muppetfan24/7 Well-Known Member

    You know what? You're right, I will start that right on the next chapter. Thanks for the advice!
  19. GopherCoffee Member

    You're welcome! I'll start work on my story too.

    Here's something else I want you to think about- you have described how the Fraggles all have a silly creature- Dave to Boober, Jerry to Gobo, Karen to Red, Kathy to Mokey and Steve to Wembley. Can they have multiple Fraggles because Dave is not only assigned to Boober but also to Uncle Traveling Matt. He is also Philo. Also, Jerry is also Marjory the Trash Heap and Pa Gorg whilst Richard Hunt is not only Gunge but also Junior Gorg.

    Oh, if I were you, I'd do every few chapters a part like this:

    Back at Fraggle Rock...

    "Marjory, don't you think we should help?", Gunge asked.
    "Help who?", Marjory asked, absentmindedly, focusing on her knitting.
    "Marjory, would you give that up?," Gunge cried.
    "Yeah," Gunge seconded.
    "Give what up? Knitting?," Marjory laughed, her mind on her work.
    "Yes! You're our Oracle, not our chief knitter!", Philo and Gunge cried out together.
    "Now, I can be both. Somebody'll come along when they really need my help, just wait and see."
    "But they can't come along! They're trapped in Outer Space!"
    "Who are? The Fraggles?"
    "Yeah!"
    "Oh, all right. Scrimmagy doo and scrimmagy dee, all of you Silly Creatures, let the Fraggles be!"
    "Hey, thanks, Marjory," Philo said, curling up to sleep on her.
    "Yeah, thanks, Marjory," Gunge repeated, doing the same.
    "Any time, boys. Good night," Marjory said yawning and putting her head on her shoulder to go to sleep.
    "Good night, Marjory," Philo and Gunge both sighed and fell asleep.
