POTATO MOON, Part 25 by Matt “Ampersand” Duarte

Jakob was filled with nerves and a primal fear of getting anywhere close to Dick Cheney while still looking like a were-chicken, which just happens to look astonishingly similar to a monster-sized quail.

He struggled to change back to his human, or at least a shape close enough to it, ...

PAD

POTATO MOON, Part 24, by Chris Gottschalk

With some of the craziness cleared up, Edwood and Bela
embraced like the not-quite-so-young lovers trying their hardest to reestablish
the early dew-eyed phases of their puppy love that they had become. Edwood stared at
Bela, who stared back at him. If only, he thought, there had been one
spelling of “vampire.” No, wait. ...

POTATO MOON, Part 23 by Richard DiTullio

NOTE FROM PAD: Richard came up to the hairy edge with character names here, but I let it go because--although he used a popular alias for the individual in question--it's not the character's real name..

The stranger whipped out a black billfold from his pocket and flashed

POTATO MOON, Part 22 by Mark C. Dooley

Captain Irony and the Irony Watch: Spock/Uhura

We are seeing a rare head-butting of agendas in various fan discussions of the Spock/Uhura relationship.

The new film has Uhura involved with Spock, building upon a flirtation that we hadn't seen since "Charlie X" (when there was clearly something cooking between her and Spock in the rec room sequence). ...

POTATO MOON, Part 21 by Jack Scheer

Bela froze as the short man approached her. His full, thick eyebrows
reminded her of her beloved Edwood, yet on this intruder she found
them thoroughly off-putting. More disturbing was the ungainly helmet
he wore, his name emblazoned across the front in large sans-serif
letters: MIKE DUKAKIS.

"I hope I haven't alarmed you, young lady," ...

“POTATO MOON,” Part 20 by Steven Marsh

"Will someone explain what's going on?" shrieked Woeisme as Edwood revved the engine into a fine red whine.

"How to explain the immortal perspective?" began Edwood. "I'll try. Over 50 years ago, encrypted messages began appearing in newspapers. Strings of seemingly random letters could be decoded by keen eyes ...

Cowboy Pete Plays With “Dollhouse”

The conventional wisdom is that one should give a Joss Whedon program much longer than you would give a show produced by just about anyone in the known universe because it takes you THATLONG to realize the full scope of what’s involved. This is a fairly recent worldview considering ...
