*a furry hand adjusts the dial, pausing on 107.07. The cheerful voice is heard clear as a snow-and-sun day*
"Hey, bouncers!! Cheets here with a lil' message for all you early risers, as it's 10:56 AM on the West Coast: It's Valentine's Day this year of 2001 so hug your sweetie and don't forget the flowers and chocolates! Gummies and furries love BOTH of them but any amount of showing you care is all we ask. Heheh. And speaking of love and gummies, just a note to all you fans of fictions out there, THIS furry thinks it might be better if she does't tread on thin ice and DOESN'T tackle the eternal toon question, 'Where do babies come from?'. Ya see, it IS a children's cartoon in the deepest respect and I don't wanna violate that. So no matter how many both-parent stories I have or when I finally get to the Queen telling her daughter 'You have a new little sister now.', I vow NOT to go into _how_ that was accomplished. 'S better left unsaid in this furry's opinion.
"On a totally un-holiday-related subject, I was reflecting on the show yesterday. It really was perfect. It elluded and hinted and showed such promise but I think I figured out why it was so successful as a show. First, it appealed to a huge audience. Adult, kid, boy, girl. Demographics through the roof! It also dealt with fantasy in an era that we are not in-- a plus because it's easier to suspend you disbelief when you aren't saying to the t.v., 'But how can they do that now?'. But most importantly was the potential of the story. A race of mythical creatures separated from the group and hidden from all but two good people. Throw in a few reoccuring bad guys, a bunch of humor, cool gadgets for a 10th century era and you have Disney's Adventures Of The Gummi Bears. Mostly...
"There's one little thing I gotta mention. Now, we never got to see the Glen Gummies meet up with their gummi cousins across the sea, but where would the show go then? You could take the show into dealing with gummies of other lands (like the great gummies) still hiding from humans; for you see, bouncers, without them hiding, the show loses major charisma. It would be like any other Saturday morning cartoon these days. And this, sadly, is what Gumwyn is missing. Believe me, the situation will be remedied somehow. Gumwyn was never supposed to be such a permanent fixture! In that it was a trip to a place that could have been and then it's time to go home again. I realized this yesterday when I thought up yet another gummi. It's great in a fandom but I need to stop creating and start delving into the ones I already got!
"SOoooo.. That's how this furry feels about Gumwyn's progress and the whole sha-bang in general. I like it, but it needs some rules in order to thrive. The cheets got too involved with her characters and she runs inta this. Unlike most things, if you want a script to fly, put it in a cage. I must constrain Gumwyn to better fit the perfect mold that is Disney's Adventures Of The Gummi Bears. Or more likely, I'll create a whole new world to separate all the Gumwyn bundles.
"Okay, enough shop talk. On to some new Gummi Trivia! Some are tough. Good luck!
"Okay. #69...
Is Gusto left- or right-handed?
#70. What are the most number of spells Zummi has ever cast in one episode?
#71. How many flashback sequences (ex. like the ones where you see the great gummies fleeing and the one with Cavin's grandfather finding the Gummi medallion and even counting the proposed flash-forward of the gummies reunited with their cousins) are there throughout the series?
#72. What name did Igthorn think Cavin called himself when he was an ogre in OGRE FOR A DAY?
#72. What was the name of the Irish/Scottish/Viking type guy who sold Igthorn the Flower of Lochlorien(spelling needs checking) in IF I WERE YOU?
#73. What was the color of Lady Bane's Dress in LIFE OF THE PARTY when she went to a 'summit meeting' at Drekmoore to discuss defeating Dunwyn and capturing Gummies with Iggie?
"THat's all for now but keep up the reading, writing, and drawing and I'll be back soon with a proposal and some more news! Cheets, out!"
