    Brothers and Sisters Part 4: The Cave Between The Worlds by Kim McFarland ***** It was morning. Birds were twittering in the trees, asserting the boundaries of their territories and informing other birds what they intended to do with or to those who encroached upon their space. The sound...

    Favorite little moments and details

    There are so many little moments in Fraggle Rock that make the characters that much more vivid. One that comes to mind is in Doomsday Soup, when Gobo meets Mokey, Red, and Boober, who had been planning a picnic outside. Gobo greets Mokey and Red, and after an uncomfortable pause Boober says...

    I got some stuff! Would you like 'em?

    I would love the Beatles-themed Fraggle Five. I'd be happy to pay the postage, at least. Please let me know.

    Happy Birthday, Charlietheowl!

    Happy birthday! You are allowed to eat as much cake as you like today. Or pie, or baklava, or whatever.

    Thanks. Heh, it's probably obvious who Jago is, or will be.

    How I Spent My Summer Vacation (A Muppet Fic)

    Snerk! I could see this in my mind as I read it, and by the end I could hear Piggy's voice as she came one step from losing it completely. I think this needs a sequel titled "The Totally Justified Bludgeoning of Link Hogthrob."

    Brothers and Sisters

    He's not used to such loud behavior from the Cloth-Cave Creatures. He probably still has the gift that one gave to him just outside the original Hole to Outer Space. Gobo has Sight Beyond Sight (by our very own Foodie!) Thank you! I will write more. Right now I'm busy being on vacation and...

    Your signature-explain yourselves!

    Mine is shameless self-promotion, pure and simple.

    Can Fraggles get headaches and migraines?

    When Wembley was playing sick to avoid having to re-race Gobo, he complained of a headache (and stomach ache), so Fraggles can get those, even though they have precious little head to ache. Boober's also complained of headaches. As for migraines, I don't know if those have ever been mentioned...

    Flonkarillion: a fantastically high number.

    Contest: Design art for Fraggle Rock 30th anniversary merchandise

    Hmm... I'll enter this, of course, but I wish I knew what it was going to be used for so I'd have an idea what would fly best. Simple color design for a T-shirt, full painterly pic w/background for poster-ish stuff, etc etc etc.

    Calendar Oneshots: April Showers

    Hmm... It's not Why Don't You Do Right, although I get a definite Jessica Rabbit vibe from the singer. I know I've heard the original song, but heck if I can remember enough of it to find the title.

    Calendar Oneshots: April Showers

    *chuckle* I do indeed recognize the Muppet incarnation of the Shadow Chateau. And I also appreciate the opening line. You can't go wrong, beginning a story that way. Overall, fun to read. Thank you!

    Brothers and Sisters Part 3: Things That Go Bump in the Night by Kim McFarland ***** It was a dark and silent night. Right here, that was; where they had just come from it was a typical noisy midday. This was not unusual. When you traveled to other places, day and night and weather and even...

    Video: The Fraggles at Carnegie Hall!

    Back to the video, now that I'm finally on a fast enough connection to watch it... Whew, but it's great to see them back in action. The characters sound just great. They look great too, except for Matt, who, um, seems crosseyed and goofy. Fix his eyes and he'd be perfect. Work those...

    Wet rat or not? Janken the wet rat - Actually, Janken does eat cheese. He was just getting a little tired of the gag. Guess I shouldn't have asked him to wear a pair of false buck teeth.

    Brothers and Sisters

    The Count: Thanks, I'm glad you liked this story. VMMC isn't part of my timeline except as a TV movie. But their productions contain elements from real life in among the fiction, and JP's passing is one of those elements. So, yes, I guess that this fic does take place after that. : )...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    They added new characters to TMS as the scripts called for them. If a movie script calls for new characters to fill a certain spot the way the Moopets did, I'm fine with that. I'm sure the writers have the sense not to let the newbies eclipse the veterans. So many ideas being thrown around...
