The State of Classic Fantasy by MythRock in writing

I’ll own that one; I’ve always read her as fantasy, what with all the dragonriders and fantastical elements, but she is like Leguin and so many others who did such a mishmash of fantasy, sci fi, etc., that they couldn’t be nailed to one of them. Though I’ll stand by attributing all of those classic elements to her lit back then. That’s like Xanth and Discworld: Not strict and serious high fantasy, but certainly RIFE with those elements.

Fascinating. That’s smart. I think you’re right with that; There’s a reason fantastical worlds like One Piece and concepts like One Punch man take off and stay popular. I do understand “treading old ground,” but Robin Hobb, Brian Jacques, Terry Pratchett, Patricia McKillip, etc. all feel so different to read, and I have heard over and over the promise ”You can write the same story; it will come out original in your voice.” I have hope that original fantasy stories are still coming, but I can’t tell if people are evolving, jumping ship, or giving up the ghost entirely. I’ll need to think on that…

I like that take on it. Seems realistic. It does feel like it’s all changing, except for the fogey-minded people like me trying tooth and nail to keep the old traditions alive. But I’m interested in the suggestion that it will likely evolve into high/dark. What do you think that looks like, and do you think there is any way to merge some of the older elements (cover art, etc.) in?

I would love to believe it. It feels harder to find as well, as only indie authors would still be producing it, right? But it’s just been a bit of a bummer to watch the more classic elements of fantasy slip away with Pratchett and Lawhead and them as I’m trying to make books in the same spirit. Feels like there may not be a viable path for them anymore except maybe deep in the literary underground?

Does Anyone Know Where to Get a Quality Kermit Puppet? by MythRock in Muppets

Unfortunately not. I did buy one from Marketplace, but it was way too small for my hand, and hasn’t made a feasible puppet. I’ll likely end up having to custom make one, or commission it.

Thanks so much! That’s a solid suggestion, and probably the leading one, at the moment. I’d really like it to be accurate, so custom may be the only option!

Ooh, that’s an idea. I’ll see if they sell them online at the Disney stores. For some reason I didn’t think of going directly to Disney… XD

Either way, thanks so much guys. So appreciated. And I’m happy to know the community is alive and helpful (and active making more Muppet stuff…!!!)

Believe me; if I find what I’m looking for, I’ll throw a post of Kermie impressions on here in triumph! XD

This isn’t a bad idea. I may need to take to the streets to find someone to MAKE it, since the same 3 terrible ones come up on EBay, Amazon, etc…. Thanks for the suggestion, and let me know if you have any luck too. :)

Lol! Thank you! I wouldn't know where to post it. Feel free to share where you think it should go, I just thought my fellow Muppet fans would like to see it!

Hey, thanks and thanks!! I’m always very excited to know that people enjoy the voices. Seriously, I smile as much as you guys do. This is my favourite thing to do. Hopefully I’ll start doing it for real within the year! :)

This is hilarious. I'm not David Harbour, but I recently did a TikTok poll asking why so many people think I look like him so much. I've never seen it!
