Hey ya'll. I am currently working on a pretty intense new muppet fanfiction. But this time I am not doing improv and just making it up with the posts, thats the reason I never finish them. This is actually pre-typed. But anywho, the story is called The Green Bullet. And here is a mock-teaser trailer for the story. So here is goes...
WARNING: This is a pretty dramatic story, which tests the Muppets in a huge way. But it does have humor and original music as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Trailer dims to a shot of the muppet theater)

Narrator: For years, the muppets have been entertaining millions...

(Cuts to shot of the muppet theater on fire)

Narrator: But somebody is trying to destroy there fame...

(Cue racy dramatic music) *flashing scenes!!* Cut to shot of a gun.*flash* Cut to shot of Miss Piggy kissing a mystery man. *flash*Cut to Gonzo crying on the street. *flash* Cut to Clifford and Fozzie in the hospital. *flash* Cut to Robin all bruised up *flash* Cut to Scooter next to an unknown grave. *flash* Cut to Rowlf the Dog drinking a beer sobbing *flash*

(Fades to a little dark room with Kermit the frog and a man holding a gun)

MAN: The dream is over Kermit. There is no Rainbow Connection...

*Fades out*

Narrator: The Green Bullet...

(Cut to a shot of Kermit talking to Scooter)

KERMIT: "Sometimes I really wonder, if the dream is worth it..."

Narrator: ... a new muppet fanfiction coming soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Whew*

:big_grin: I had a big laugh with the bit about the theater being on fire at the very start.

Then it got to the nitty-gritty. Very interesting and intense. Piggy kissing a strange man, Rowlf crying while drinking alcohol, and all the other scenes of muppets bashed and bruised up strike my curiosity Barry.

Obviously this isn't going to be a pleasant day at the beach for the Muppet gang in this fan fic:wink: and parental discretion may be advisory. But you've definitely captured my attention with this preview. I think it'll be absolutely great.:excited:

Well, I'm not much of a fanfic reader, so more than likely I won't be reading it. But I agree with Marty about it being kinda heavy. The Muppets would never do anything this violent. They are, after all, the Muppets, and while it's understood that they're not necessarily just for children, this is a little too adult for me. I like anything involving the Muppets light and with limited adult undertones. Also, think of what Jim would think of this. I know that most people say "Jim's dead, he's not coming back, etc.", but even so, this is not the medium he created, and he would no doubt be ashamed.

Its not a violent thing AT ALL. And the Muppets arent killing anybody. Its basically about this man who wants to ruine there dreams.

Fair enough Barry. That was a little unclear in the preview that you posted. But I'm still very much intrigued by it all. :big_grin:

Good luck with the preparing and presentation of it.

I believe the trailer was supposed to be unclear so people will be tuned in and to see what happens.... but anyways. Thanks for the compliments.

Aw, you didn't really delete the file, did you? Anyone who thinks this story is a bad idea, obviously never saw Beau's Visions series! I would have enjoyed reading it!
