“Potato Moon,” Part 19 by Amanda Panda

They drove into the drive-thru. It took Woeisme hitting Edwood on the back of the head to get him to stop at the right section. He glanced at the menu, but it all seemed like meaningless gibberish to him. Just like the past few days. Just like all of his ...

“STAR TREK”

Long story short--I thought it was great.

Fairly spoiler-free comments follow:

How many times are fans going to have to be proven wrong after they engage in massive bitch fests over initial announced concepts, preliminary photographs, etc., before they realize that howling "It's gonna suck!" months (if not years) before a film ...

POTATO MOON, Part 18: “In the Kingdom of the Potato, the One ‘E’-ed Potatoe is King,” by Corey Tacker

“Edwood, why are you sparkling at night?” Woeisme asked.

“Oh, sorry,” Edwood said, and took off his sequined jacket. "I'm not going to let you have her, Quayle,” Edwood growled. "She's my daughter. And she's Jakob's… something.”

POTATO MOON, Part 16 by John Finnan

Edwood’s brow was deeply furrowed, as if by a team of horses ploughing furrows of soil into which could be planted, well, almost anything. His hands inched over the soft yielding King Edward potato, caressing it into a highly passable version of Jakob's features. He was deeply frustrated. Making a ...

POTATO MOON, Part 15 by Al DeSantis (aka TallestFanEver aka Not Related to the Other DeSantis Who Wrote Part 7, Unless I Don’t Know About It So, In That Case, Sup Cuz)

Meanwhile, in Europe, a small boy was born. Unfortunately, that didn’t help Woeisme since was she currently was hanging upside down outside Jakob’s kitchen window.

Woeisme didn’t have any tracking ability. Bela was simply a terrible driver and had left a pretty clear trail of destruction in ...
