    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    Heh, glad you liked this chapter. I hope it wasn't too much of a cuteness overload. We'll get back to the angst soon, and see some more of the Chamberpotter's plot. I'd better 'fess up about one thing: the Storyteller's tale is an homage to The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry...

    Server Move Sunday March 20, 2011

    Sigh. Ever since the transition, I can't access the forum from home. Can't find server. Looks like someone's DNS records are behind the times. :(

    The Mamas and The Papas Part 4: The Right Somebody to Love By Kim McFarland ***** Janken woke up in the middle of the night and looked around Wembley and Gobo's room. When the Ditzies slept, their light faded almost entirely. The familiar caves of Fraggle Rock felt alien...

    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    If I write this thing--and it's looking more likely now, as it's already acquired a working title, "A Wandering Heart"--those two will definitely meet. After all, when someone's having an identity crisis, what a person really needs is mystically vague answers that just have to be wisdom 'cause...

    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    The main problem with Mary Sues stems from their creator loving them too much and favoring them as characters to the detriment of the story. In effect, the character can do anything, including dominating the story and eclipsing everyone else, 'cause the author loves him or her best. Look at...

    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    Janken is indeed named after the Japanese version of "rock, paper, scissors." His parentage was left up to chance, so it seems a fitting name for him. "Jankenpon" was too long, so I cut off the last syllabub to make it snappier. My main concern about writing a story about him is that I don't...

    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    Hee hee. The Poobah meeting was fun to write. I wasn't sure I could pull it off at first, because my outline merely says "Opening silliness. Lots of silliness. Rolecall, of course. Inductees? None. John is surprised; they'd expected Janken to be here. The first order of business is the selection...

    The Mamas and The Papas Part 3: The "In" Crowd By Kim McFarland ***** Janken hurried through the passageways of Fraggle Rock, unseen by anything but cave creatures and a cluster of Inkspots. The twisty tunnels led upward, and finally opened in the Gorgs' garden. Hiding...

    The Count: You are very close with the chapter titles. I was hoping someone would catch that. TogetherAgain: Thanks! Don't worry too much about Janken. He's obviously going through a rough time, but we've seen him as an adult, and he doesn't seem too scarred. ;) And yes, more to come...

    Mokey 'n' Boober: an illo for the just-posted second chapter of The Mamas and The Papas. I really wanted to draw this pose, and only afterward noticed the interesting pattern their colors made. Rated R for full Fraggle nudity.

    Fair warning: this chapter may be hazardous to those allergic to either ush or gush. ***** The Mamas & The Papas Part 2: I'll Remember Tonight By Kim McFarland ***** It was early evening, and Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and Janken were clearing the clutter in Gobo and Wembley's room...

    Fraggle Rock fic: The Mamas and The Papas

    Thanks, I'm glad you like this fic so far! I always get worried when I post stuff and it's met with silence. Heh, I'm insecure that way. Thanks for breaking our silence and reassuring me that all is not in vain. ;) I've been wanting to write something about the Poobahs for a while. It'll...

    Fraggle Pairings

    Heh heh. I just posted the first chapter of a fic, The Mamas and The Papas, which is gonna be pretty heavy on the 'shipping. Gotta admit, I'm looking forward to writing for Boober & Mokey. Or vice versa.

    ilovemusic: I think the plural of fez is fezzes. I want one myself, complete with tassel. Tassels add fizzazz! TogetherAgain: Heh, I guess all one can really say is that that strange face is just another one of Wembley's little quirks. When I first watched FR, I found his buzzing grunt...

    Hi ho and happy Pi Day. Eat a slice of pie in honor of irrational numbers. While you're eating that pie, you can read this story if you so desire, which seems likely as you're reading this thread right now. This takes place some years after Commonplace Miracles. ***** The Mamas and The...

    Of Muppets & Men - possible reissue?

    To be honest, I think that's wishful thinking. So much has happened since that book was written, and there are other books out on the subjects, such as "Jim Henson: The Works." That said, if they did update and reissue it, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
