W.G.U., I read the new chapter and I loved the caroling scene. I could picture (and hear!) it all! I loved Miss Piggy's line about age before beauty. I also love when you use two words near together such as "throwing fish" and "throwing a hissy fit" -- There were a lot of times when you used this kind of creation, and I admired each one as I came across it.

J.P. is played as a little mean, but I can't quite hate him, especially after he sort of justifies his actions. (Also, as mean as he may be, he is still a Muppet, so I can never dislike him the way that I dislike Doc Hopper or Bitterbuns). The bit where he knew about the Muppets living in the threatre, but wasn't planning on mentioning it...as long as Kermit didn't ask for anything extra...was good too.

Looking forward to seeing how the story pans out.
Thank you Bo! A million times!! The interest you guys take in my first (well, second, but we will pretend the first one never existed :smirk:) fan-fic means the world to me! J.P. I did play a little too mean...he's one of the very few (or only?!) Muppets to be basically cruel, which is part of the reason they scrapped him. Still hanging on and hoping and praying to finish this out before Christmas....we'll see!!

This story is really good. You managed to capture all the muppets voices in a matter of sentences. I could never juggle that many characters! Good stuff!

Oh! I totally just started saying your name (WGU) as "Wugoo" like an alternate of "Hugga Wugga". Hey Wugoo!

Is not stealing quote from me. Is stealing quote from Pete in MTM. And it is fun to say, no?

Good luck getting more posted. Can't throw any stones about that today. Too busy helping Mom with party prep for today and tomorrow.
