Valentine's Day is coming up, so let's rescue Duckie from singlehood before he gets too cynical. Takes place years after the 1986 film "Pretty in Pink".

5 Windfall
Making ends meet isn't easy sometimes. Archie Bunker finds he might have a chance to make a few extra dollars in a story that takes place during season three of "All in the Family".

3 All I Really Need to Know I Learned in a POW Camp
Found an empty category for the 2002 film "Hart's War" and watched it before penning a short sequel. The film took place during a snowy winter, and I'm snowed in right now so - why not? I don't own these characters or a seat in the Senate.Hart's War, K+, English, words: 1k+, favs: 1, follows: 1, 1/10

3 Beefer Madness
We travel back in time to 1938 for a look at "Reefer Madness". Use of Mary Jane is a little more socially accepted now, so we'll pick on something else for a parody. As the most tenuous Christmas tie-in, some people have a tradition of eating roast beef for the holiday. I don't own these characters and haven't eaten an Impossible Burger.Reefer Madness, K, English, Parody, words: 3k+, favs: 2, follows: 1, 12/25/2024

3 Passive or Aggresive? The Nature of a Thing called Death
A sequel of the story "Knock" broadcast on the radio drama "Dimension X" from 1950. The Xon tried to turn the Earth into a zoo and failed. Did they make it back home? Sort of. You could try a text-to-speech conversion for this one, but I honestly don't know how it would sound - certainly not as good as an old static-filled radio broadcast.Radio Dramas, K+, English, words: 3k+, favs: 1, follows: 1, 12/19/2024
4 Hardware Wars II: The Warranty Strikes Back
A sequel to the first Star Wars parody film made, the 1978 "Hardware Wars". That 12-minute film is in the public domain and can be found on YouTube and other streaming services. This sequel is written in the same manner - a cheap, "Coming Soon" type trailer that gives the whole story away in 1/10 the time of the film. I don't own these characters or SW action figures.Star Wars, K, English, Humor, words: 2k+, favs: 1, 12/11/2024

2 Daffy's Finest Hour
Judge Doom is gone, but Toontown isn't without its legal issues after the 1988 "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Courtroom savvy is a real gift, but can a 'toon rise to the occasion for Wile E. Coyote? I don't own these characters nor can I draw them. For Mischmasch 2024 Week #48 challenge.Who Framed Roger Rabbit, K, English, words: 4k+, favs: 2, 11/28/2024
6 Beyond Tomorrow »
Bill Cage was long retired from the events in the 2014 movie "Edge of Tomorrow". Life moved on with him and Rita Vratski until an event occurs that made him question what lay beyond tomorrow. I don't own these characters, and even if I wrote it again I still wouldn't own them. Okay, I added a chapter to the story - I couldn't leave it alone *blows raspberry* Now completer.Edge of Tomorrow, K, English, chapters: 2, words: 5k+, favs: 15, follows: 7, updated: 11/25/2024 published: 3/2/2019

Digging all the back in the Marvel movie vault to the 1986 "Howard the Duck". Two months after the events of the movie, and Howard finds out about this event called Christmas. Part of my series of (sometimes) yearly Christmas musicals where I spare you the music. I don't own these characters or a laser spectroscope.Misc.
