    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Heh, that's the episode. And it's one of the songs that made the transition to animation well. They didn't rewrite it extensively, or make weird cast changes, or otherwise mess it up. Marjory was trying so hard, but, c'mon, what did she really think she was going to accomplish by setting off a...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Heh, I was hoping Fraggle Cave would be recognizable! And I've likened Balsam to a beetle before, but I think this is the first time I really thought of him as one. Anyone who has tried to kill a cockroach with a broom knows how sturdy the little monsters are. There's a story I remember...

    Stage Performance Focus Puppet or Puppeteer?

    When I saw Avenue Q I was startled to realize that I was watching both the puppeteer and the puppet, but they only registered as one character. Princeton's puppeteer could dance around, and it would register as Princeton dancing. At one point Rod looked like he was about to burst into...

    Fraggle Rock Fic: Loneliness and the Lily Creature

    It's good for Red to be able to share her secret, even if it's only with the one the secret's about. And I'll bet The Last Of The Lily Creatures is pleased to have someone to talk to. Lilies are pretty, and possibly tasty, but they're not good conversationalists. Thanks for posting!

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Another chapter already? I'm outta control! ***** The Minstrel's Path Part 18 by Kim McFarland ***** The last few days had been interesting. Balsam had offered to guide the Minstrels to other people who lived in this region. The first one they had visited was a colony of Fraggles who...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    It's been a long time since I arted, hasn't it? Been so busy stabbing my fingers with needles and dyeing them icky colors and sticking them together with contact cement to draw. Today I got ambushed by a Sharpie and piece of scrap paper, and there's the reault. When I paint this up I'll post...

    Fraggle Rock Fic: The Princess and the Pickle

    Now this was a fun fic! I could see this happening--and, being the left-brained person I am, figured they'd have to make at least one, if not two, custom Red puppets for this story, one with the hair tangled in branches and one with short hair. Or if the pigtails are detachable, one custom with...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Thanks, guys. Glad you liked it. (I say that a lot, don't I? Oh well, it holds true.) The gang's all here, and if anyone reading this has also read "A Wandering Heart" you've probably noticed that the story has moved into familiar territory and time frame. Pretty soon Fraggle fans may get...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    The Minstrel's Path Part 17 by Kim McFarland ***** It's been fun, but now I've got to go. Life is way too short to take it slow. But before I go and hit the road, Tell me when, when can I see you again? -- from When Can I See You Again by Owl City ***** Water sprinkled down into a...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    That makes sense. I don't know how many people read stories listed as in-progress, really. I avoid unfinished stories that aren't actively in progress because reading only part of a tale frustrates me. I try not to be that kind of author; if I start a story I'm dang well gonna stick with it to...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Once again, thank you for maintaining that FFLI. It is an incredibly useful tool, both for newbs looking for fics to read and longtimers looking for something they remember. You rock. As for reducing or eliminating the in-progress section--it seems the only way to do that would be to put the...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Asking questions is a good way to find out things. Unless you're asking Cantus; he'll leave you more puzzled than before. I didn't think the in-progress section was being updated; I had the idea it was for grandfathered fics that were either perpetually in progress or which the authors...

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    Next chapter's coming along. I took a break from writing over my vacation, and now I'm trying to get back into the flow. Here's a teaser for the chapter-in-progress:

    Fraggle fic: The Minstrel's Path

    I've heard the "top shelf" thing in various places, and I don't get it. I'd think the top shelf is where you put something to keep it out of reach, but that's not how it's used.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I've done a few "Ersatz 8-Bit Theater" comics, including two guest comics. (My most lasting claim to fame may be the invention of staff-chucks.) Anyway, I did a strip in 2004, and now, 9 years later, someone tells me that "I hate to nitpick, but Clevinger's "style" is actually just the style of...

    Slackbot's derpiest puppet

    "Derp" originated on 4Chan. It's generally associated with photos of someone looking goofy-stupid, often with eyes not pointing in the same direction. In the first episode of My Little Ponies: Friendship is magic there was a party of ponies, and because of a layout change some background...

    Slackbot's derpiest puppet

    Derpy is a Fraggle. She has gray skin and fur, and short, light blonde, fluffy hair and a baloobius the same color. Her eyes are crossed, with one pupil looking up and the other down, hiving her a "derpy" expression, and she has a rather foolish grin. She has a complete body and feet, and one...

    Fraggle One-Shot: Tell Me A Story

    Heh heh. I can see this happening. Boober checking Wembley's nose, and glands, and tail, and toes, and telling him a story with all sorts of didactic, Boober-ish details. I can see that Boober has matured since The Perfect Blue Rollie; he now knows that things don't bring happiness; the act...
