Nope, don't even know what that is.
Hmm, my post count has remained on 17 for a while now... Oh well.
I do have a question for you, Griffin: What are your duties as Premier of the Kimmunist Party?

I'm sad to say that the Kimmunist Party has been dwindeling as of late, so not much. Though when we were strong, it was basically making sure that people in the party got along, and to make new rules and decrees for the party. and if you want to ask me anything else, you can in my "ask me" thread. The link is the picture in my sig. Sanctuary

Sounds like you need a cause to strengthen your resolve, a benevolent goal or a common enemy perhaps. Brainwashing is good too. Checked out Sanctuary and Dr. Horrible. I'm mainly a horror fan, and was hoping for a good monster-of-the-week type show, but I'll have to give Sanctuary the thumbs down. There just was no real hook, the cast made it impossible to forget that they were actors, and it just took itself too seriously for the premise. You'd need some pretty fantastic writing to pass off a story like that as serious business. Ah well... I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Horrible on the other hand. Harris gets another gold star in my book. Turning point: "all the birds are singing that you're gonna die!" That's just fantastic! ;D Evil is such fun!

I would have to say act III, though the highlight of the whole miniseries is "Brand New Day" (act II).

Oh man, I was a huge fan of ALF and Ninja Turtles as a kid. ;D Tried watching ALF again a while back, but it just made me cringe. Ninja Turtles on the other hand had their renaissance* back in 2004, I think, which pleased me greatly! I loved the darker, slightly more serious take on it (well, as serious they could make a show about 6 foot martial-arts amphibians . I even bought my first Ninja Turtles action figure back then, and I don't think I've ever felt such a gleeful, unadulterated sense of completion in my adult life, as if a missing piece of my childhood had been replaced. It was like what Christmas used to be like. I bought 7 more shortly after. Hey, if that makes me a nerd, then I don't want to be cool. ;D And the CGI movie was awesome!! And they're renewing the show based on that movie. Man, that show is going to go on forever.... *yes, there's irony in that statement, and it is not lost on me

I remember the Turtles. They were awesome. I loved them as a kid. Haven't seen the movie, but I guess I should.....
fanfics, you ever read or write any (not neccesarily for KP)

Have read a few, which is another first for me. The show may be finished, but the story is not done. Not for me anyway. There are so many possibilities that I find intriguing: Ron's future is an open question. Shego has an enigmatic past and an uncertain future, which she would have to deal with to function in a relationship. Drakken has to deal with the possibility of his life's work being a sham, which should lead to the mother of all midlife crises, plus he has to deal with the beginnings of possibly the most frustrating romance ever. Should be a handful, even for someone as used to frustration as him ;D. And finally, Kim... who's all alone for the first time in her life. An excellent opportunity to find out what kind of hero she really is...... *evil grin* ;D So I do consider where I want the story to go, and the problems one might run into when continuing the story, but I wouldn't write anything unless I think there's a real possibility of it being animated. Which may or may not happen... For now, I'm happy trying to adapt to the style of the show and make a little fan art. If you haven't seen it already, I've put some up here: ronstoppable.proboards89.com/index.cgi?board=fanart&action=display&thread=15821&page=1This is in my intro thread as well... i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp259/perpetual_notion/shegophotobucket1.jpgAnyway... of the stuff I've read, the quality varies widely. Some of it has been downright bizarre, but entertaining nonetheless. What vexes me is when I can't recognize the characters at all. I've read fictions that describe Kim as a useless crybaby, while Ron is the stoic hero. Some of the fictions go overboard on drama and plummet into raw tragedy. I'd never do either, but keeping a bit of levity and still getting the proposed amount of character development without some life changing tragedy, it's... a tall order. Which is another reason why I don't write. That and I'm too lazy to do several drafts. Mind you, I would like to see Kim challenged a bit more than she is in the series. A little doubt, perhaps even regret.... or something more sinister?? ;D She does have flaws to be exploited... Under the right set of circumstances, how far could she go? Wow, that got a bit ranty, but it's been on my mind for a while.

I don't get much time to read many fics, but I've written a few. My first (and best, IMHO) was a crossing of Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles and KP.
fav crossover in a fic?

None yet. This is the first time I've read fanfictions of anything, and I do so to see how people think the story should continue. I've yet to read crossovers, alternative reality type stories and what-if-fics...
