It was a warm Tuesday afternoon. The...
wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at the reception this last chapter has gotten. I must confess that I was a little nervous about posting it, not only because of the subject matter, but because it's a very personal one for me. I put some of my own experiences into it. Not events so much as...
I'd be glad to help out with this. I'm no big name in the fandom, but I've been a fan of the Muppets since Sesame Street premiered (when I was one year old). I started reading at age two in no small part due to that show. I was especially into The Muppet Show when it was on the air...

Face-Off, Part 2

The Muppets reached the boarding house in high spirits despite that night's snafus and improvisations. In fact, those complications was at least in part responsible for their cheer. Clever acts that went off like clockwork were...
Thanks! It won't be long now. I finished the first draft of the next chapter earlier today. Now to edit it into decent shape. For now, here's a teaser:

"I know," Scooter replied. I've been feeling kind of crummy about it-"
Skeeter swatted her brother on the back of his head...
Puckrox: Thanks! Heh, the members of the Electric Mayhem are fun to write for. I just have to remind myself to include them. Have you never seen TMS before?
The Count: More fic is coming soon. The next part is half-written. Skeeter is giving me problems, but then she's giving everyone...
Thanks, glad you liked the Vet's Hospital sequence. It was the first part of this story I wrote. In fact, I had the sketch done about two months ago, and just polished it a little when I wrote the rest of this segment. As for using Muppet vegetables, that would have been cool, but then I...
Yes, I was very happy to see Dark Warrior turn up, and have some actual in-character lines rather than just filling out crowd scenes. That was a great line, and shows that the writer really knows the series.
The Sailor Moon Darkwing made me grin, but the Lady Gaga Darkwing broke my brain. It...
I spent at least an hour just looking at all the little AU Darkwings. Mario DW, Waldo DW, Silver Surfer, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, many many Disney character caricatures... I wonder how many bar napkins Silvani has covered with lists of references to draw in.
For anyone who's wondering, Yakety Sax is a wonderful piece of music that most people know as the theme from The Benny Hill Show. You can hear a sample right over here, and it probably isn't too hard to find a MP3 of the whole thing floating around on the web.

The Battle of the Salad Bar
by Kim McFarland

Most of the Muppets had gone straight from the TMI benefit show to the Muppet Theater to prepare for that night's show. It was Saturday, the night of the second show of that set, and they had had to cut one act after it...
Doodle dump: Fraggle 5+3: What do you do in a two-hour all-hands meeting about office space? If you're like me you draw a whole lot. In this case, I was trying to draw, without the benefit of reference material, the Fraggle Five plus their whelps from "Trials and Tintinnabulations."

*chuckles* I wish the demonstrator was Doc. It looks like his computer, after all.
Gobo, I hope you're just giving Mokey a backrub. And who's that under Boober's behind?
D'OH. I am such a dingbat. If the passages in the Matthew T. Fraggle Room are stable, then they could find one leading to a cold part of the earth and freeze stuff there. Of course, they didn't discover that room until the final season so it wouldn't explain earlier references to ice cream...
I don't know that they would want it, though. When it's winter and ice is all around you and you're layered in clothes to stave off hypothermia, who wants a frozen treat? Ice cream would be more welcome in the summer, but Fraggles don't have electricity, therefore there are no freezers and no...
I noticed the chicken reference in Pantry Chant too. I just chalked that up as a first-season inconsistency. I think Fraggles are vegetarians--not vegans, as Boober has an omelet pan--so they might make vegetable chop suey, at least.
As for the ice cream, Gobo also mentions it in The...
