Journal Entry #3.

Please forgive me dear keeper of my thoughts... But it seemed fairer to maintain a dirrect correlation between the entries and the total number of friends rescued from that illusory Plutonian shore we know as slumberdom. Went back and changed the headings, though it may not show in the already saved records.

The Count decided to explore the depths of the caverns beneath his castle home... Seems there was a plaintive wa-wa rising from the subterranean level. Stalactites fell from above, making the master watch his step very carefully. There were also a few craggy steps leading up, down, sideways, and all roundabout leading to a nowhere in particular. The winding path presented no problem, since a trail of Doozerstick railings guided the Count towards his destination.

At the heart of the cave he found the ancient clearing... Kept clean from his beautiful bats' droppings, the dance floor was still perfectly pristeen. It hadn't been that long since we used it for our cavorting on the night the family was invited to the celebration which started this rollercoaster ride in the first place. A female ogre stood waiting by the cracks in the cavern wall, more of a giant teddy bear in a corset than a woman, but a monster nonetheless. She summoned more teddy bears, marching to a melody unheard by the human ear. Having vampire blood in him, the Count was able to pick out the waltz... Stepping in three-count time past the grizzly grouped trios. He moved in between one set of dancers only to make it to a second set, and then a third, and a fourth... Until he finally reached the ogress at the cracked cavern wall. One last dance, saved for her, deftly avoiding the falling stalactites in a quick three-step netted the Count his reward.

He was bathed in a short shower of magical essence, followed by a "Wocka-Wocka" behind him. He caught the ghostly form for a split-second before the comedian's trademark laugh greeted his fellows up on the mantle's shelves. The Two-Headed Monster's heads argued with each other, eventually agreeing it was good to see Fozzie, while Kermit just put his hand on the bear's shoulder welcoming him to the group. There was a brief clap of thunder as my roommate now had a glowing white 3 hovering above his head.

Fozzie! Yay! Fozzie's okay! And TEDDY BEARS! <hugs three teddy bears> Good to see the Two-Headed Monster arguing, and Kermit so kind and welcoming to his friend. Wouldn't expect anything less, of course. A lovely chapter, Count.

A chapter of threes- give us MORE PLEASE!

Well... Not sure. Seems to me I can do this in a better fashion, and mayhaps not such in a way that's a bit drawn-out with just no end in sight. I mean, no end because it just keeps adding aimlessly without a resolution in the distance.
Me thinks I'll just let this one sit for a while, probably work on a different take of what I kinda wanted to accomplish in another fanfic version.
*On further notice, the story's shunted for now.

Well, I did like that chapter, with Fozzie and teddy bears and it was so descriptive. But, if you feel like you need to just sit back for a little bit and let it rest, that's ok too. But I just want you to know I was enjoying it, so I do echo Lisa's sigh.

Such a great story, Ed! I'd hate to see it fall to pieces. A nice haunting bit that you've woven for us. I love it. It's mysterious, haunting, and so deary with bits of sunshine weaving through. I love this story, Ed. :wink: Good job so far!

Can I join you in that sigh Lisa? Well, since you nag yourself when you haven't posted story in a while... What? Turnabout's fair play isn't it?
This narrative's OK I guess... But *sigh* I think I can do it a better better organized and mayhaps with a slight haunt of happiness.
We'll see though. If I start what I'm thinking of, maybe that one'll end up getting me the satisfaction I long for.

I don't read fan fics very often now since with my internet deal I can only log on after 11 o'clock at night and by the time I browse the forums and maybe work on some of my own fan fiction it's getting pretty late.
But I did read this thread just now and I have to say I really liked what I saw. But I can understand how you're feeling Ed. I've barely started a Fraggle Rock story about the history of the Gorg Empire and how it fell and I've put it on hold while I consider how I should truly write it.

Don't be discouraged though Ed. Believe in yourself and you'll find inspiration to try and try until you're satisfied. I have had the same experience. :smile:

Thanks Martin... Though I left this pretty much unfinished, and I think it'll somewhat stay that way. The one I'm working on now is a bit better and I think it'll give me the opportunity to do what I wanted. Check it out if you like, A Muppet Family Gathering.
