calliopes_pen | Writer's Block: The Kids' Section

[Error: unknown template qotd]

My favorite movies as a kid? The only ones I can think of that could fit were probably The Little Mermaid, Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and Mr. Boogedy. I think we actually kept a tally of how many times I watched The Little Mermaid--we ran out of room after it hit 150 times. Then, the tape broke. And yet, I couldn't quote anything from it, because I preferred the version with the original ending. I also remember fast forwarding through all the songs--I did that with all Disney movies--because I didn't like musical numbers.

I've discussed Mr. Boogedy (and Bride of Boogedy) and Ghostbusters before. Ghostbusters is still my favorite. Reading through the other Writer's Block comments, I would have to add The Last Unicorn, Unico (both movies) and the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula to the list. Having finally watched The Last Unicorn again a few months back, it's still good--and the novel is on the to-be-read pile.

I could keep listing things, but it's easier to just point out the nostalgia tag.

Okay, thanks to that prompt

brewsternorth gave me, I had three prompts (I'll still accept them in the previous post, though) and was able to sign up for the Finish-A-Thon. I’ll let everyone know when voting starts, so you can vote for what story I should write. According to the rules, that’s around the 21st, and the voting ends a week later. When the polls are posted on

multific, I’ll let everyone know.

Merlin is coming to NBC, and should start airing in June. I read about it just as I finished downloading the entire series.

I'm also downloading all of Being Human, since someone recommended it.
