    On Writing Fan Fiction (Rules & Advice)

    --------------- I think OCs work best if they fit into the plotline...which is such an outrageously obvious point that I hang my head at having made it...but many inexperienced writers will throw in OCs based on themselves or their friends who really have no purpose to the story other than to...

    Any other obsessions?

    -------------- Halloween items, particularly from the Victorian era through the 1930s. Animal skeletons. There's just something breathtakingly lovely about the architecture of bones. Such inherently wonderful designs, built for use and yet so graceful...don't get me wrong, I love critters and...

    Lucky

    -------------- Aww...you know I love sexy and playful squashed together in a fic sammich... VERY nicely done (like that's a surprise)! The verbal sparring and jostling for position both power-wise and physically is always amusing when it goes right, and I think the frog and pig would say this...

    Uncredited Performances

    ---------------- To anyone who hasn't yet been able to see the Bluray (or catch some of the tidbits from it posted online)...both J G and the sheep have a somewhat larger part there than in the theatre-run film. During one of the deleted scenes (the arches, which I really really wish they'd kept...

    I just lost my job

    ---------------- Start sending around resumes, and apply for unemployment. Now. CYA as fast as you can. Something similar (and even nastier) happened to me last year and I was unemployed for five months before I found something so totally outside my comfort zone I would not have considered it...

    Uncredited Performances

    Part Four (the Last) Gina tickled Newsie’s foot. “Better watch out. There are ticklebugs on the rise this spring, I hear.” He yanked it away from her, grimacing. “Gina...” She tried again, one hand creeping like a spider across the sofa toward his midsection. “Uh-oh. I think we need an...

    Uncredited Performances

    Part Three A very disgruntled Newsman slogged up the loading-dock stairs at a quarter to seven, grimacing at the cherry syrup covering his clothes and still sliding in glops down his nose from his drenched hair. A group of penguins paused in their conversation about changing social mores as...

    Phantom of the Muppet Show

    --------------- Uh, Winslow has NOT left the building, guys; check out his hilarious posts in Hensonville lately. Slightly off-kilter, but I recently acquired a kids' picture book from 1991 entitled "The Phantom of the Muppet Theatre". Lovely large format, cute story -- but it has NOTHING AT...

    Hensonville City 2011

    --------------- :news: Ahem. So, Link, were you aware that the new film doesn't mention you in the credits? If you could speak directly to the producers, what would you say about this? Do you blame their allergy to hair gel? ---------------

    Overused Plots in Movies and TV

    --------------- I winced at reading the early entries in this thread and realizing I've been guilty of one of them in a fic. Yeek. I hope and like to think I've improved... Slightly off-topic, but I've often found myself depressed because I loved a particular character but was having trouble...

    America Dumbs Down

    Er...sorry...how do you NOT see those as inherently related? Everything is a continuum. Art does not exist in a vacuum but as a response to the culture, values, and issues of the day. Shows are dumbing down BECAUSE a significant and deeply disturbing segment of our populace is clamoring for...
