    Fraggle Rock TAS one-shot: Boober Strikes Again

    I just finished up The Minstrel's Path, and, whew, that was a marathon of a fic. After something like that I needed to relax and write something silly. That's what this story is. As for continuity...that's where it gets messy. It's set in the world of the animated Fraggle Rock series, which...

    I'm a little Fraggle; Boober is my name.

    Boober gets no respect at all Why does Boober look so cheerful? Yeah, I made a Boober puppet. Considering that I've just finished Sidebottom and had the pattern just lying around, it was inevitable! Boober has a few physical differences, however. His upper palate is segmented so he can...

    Slackbot's derpiest puppet

    I just don't know what went wrong! I made this puppet, Derpy Toes (a spoof of Derpy Hooves from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) as a goof. I've been getting faster and faster at making puppets. Janken took me months. Skeeter and Shonky took about a month each, and in Shonky's case a...

    MB: What happened between seasons 5 and 6?

    I usually put on my homebrew Muppet Babies DVDs when I'm working on puppets so I can "watch" with my ears while keeping my eyes on the crafty stuff. I recently got to season 6, and... whoa. It felt as if I wasn't watching the same show. The babies no longer had cooperative adventures together...

    Slackbot Builds Puppets #3: Shonky Fraggle

    Behold Shonky Fraggle, my current puppet-in-progress. Unless I find something that needs fixing or think of something to add to him, the puppet itself is done, and I just need to clothe him. I'm thinking something yukata-like. His hands seem enormous because he's a live-hand puppet. As I've...

    My second puppet: Skeeter

    After building Janken Fraggle I felt ready to tackle a canon character, one who actually has to look like something we've seen before. Well, sort of; Sheeter was Scooter's twin sister in Muppet Babies, and had no other canon appearances outside of kiddie books, if you count those as canon...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Here we go, on another serial, this time starring Cantus the Minstrel. I've had bits and pieces of this story in my mind for some time, and in fact I've posted bits and pieces in this forum already. So, if some of it looks familiar, beg pardon; I'm tying it all together here. So... what...

    Fraggle/Muppet fic: Cooking with Boober

    Here's a short one-shot that follows Brothers and Sisters. It's not necessary to read that to get what's going on here, though. Basically, Scooter and Skeeter are visiting Fraggle Rock, and cultural cross-pollination is inevitable. Rated PG because, underneath her clothing, Skeeter is...

    My first puppet: Janken Fraggle

    Well, not really my first. I used to make puppets when I was in high school. However, this is the first puppet I've made in over 20 years, and it's by far my most ambitious: Janken Fraggle. He's the guy in my userpic. I've been wanting to build him for a while, but when I found out that...

    Boiling "Punky Muppet" fur

    I'm building my first puppet in decades. It's gonna be a Fraggle, and I want him to have more or less authentic fur. "Punky Muppet" seems to be recommended, and they have the color I want (which is not common) but I haven't found any info on how it reacts to boiling. Has anyone here worked...

    I don't know what to say about this. So I won't say anything before posting The Muppet from Mars By Kim McFarland ***** Kermit, Gonzo, Piggy, and Scooter inched down a dark tunnel leading deep into the earth. It twisted and turned. Strange creatures crawled on the walls. Weird noises...

    Smell like a Fraggle

    Bizarre merchandise alert! This may edge out the Fraggle Rock shot glasses as the oddest legal FR merchandise: Fraggle Rock perfume oil blends by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Here are the mixes: Gobo: Tangerine, lemon peel, sugared pink grapefruit, and vanilla cream. I'm guessing they were...

    What do Boober Fraggle and Ma Gorg have in common? ***** A Spicy Story by Kim McFarland ***** It was a dark and stormy night. Rain pattered on the roof of the Gorgs' barnlike castle, occasionally dripping through to make little puddles on the kitchen floor. Ma Gorg marked those spots so...

There are eight designs: Miss Piggy in front of the Eiffel tower: "You are the only Valentine for Moi!" Kermit in...
