i find this story so disturbing. in the best possible way. :)

You aren't the first person to say something along those lines... : )

"Near the ocean with a dungeon" LOL

So glad to see an update on this. This is such a fun story. Thanks for writing it.

Tom A.

It's a lot of fun to write : )

Sometimes, you just have to wonder how some of the Sunnydale places would be described by a realtor...

Lucinda

This chapter really reminded me that Kermit was a reporter as well as a weather frog. He'd probably have made a decent private eye if it came to that.

The Count is always entertaining and I like the help he has chosen to call in.

Great chapter.

I didn't see that you updated both.

Thank you,

Jonathan.

*I give up...fanboy squee*

You are most... velcome.

ah-ah-ahhhh

This is one of those crossovers that shouldn't work but OMG it so does. You handle it beautifully. Thank you.

I have to admit that it does sound a bit strange :) But I've done quite a few strange ones ( with Looney Tunes, with the Munsters, more Muppet crossovers... I even wrote a snippet crossing BtVS and a skittles commercial) - I have wondered if that says something about my mind, and what that something might be.

I am delighted that so many people are enjoying this one, and your kind words are most welcome (maybe for this story, that should be most velcome)

Lucinda

Oh wow, this is hilarious! Certainly much better than I expected of a Sesame Street crossover. I've really come to like your characterizations.

Thank you : )


I'm delighted that you're enjoying my work. Why should a crossover with Sesame Street be handled any less seriously than one with X-Men, or Harry Potter?

Lovely.Poor fool who snatched Kermit. :(
Now the question on everyones mind is what ritual needs a very large frog?
Can't wait to find out. :)

and here I thought the big question was what horribly painful thing was the Count going to do to that poor fool.

There will be some answers in the next part.

This story threw me at first...how could you POSSIBLY cross those two genres?! And so I read...and I laughed so hard at so many points...I love it! For everone asking about the cross, point to the Angel episode Smile Time (5x14)...Angel was a "Wee puppet man" for that ep...it kept popping into my head as I read this...please, keep it up! Ok...off to read your other fic!

My mind is a strange and tangled place with some scary dark places.


I'm delighted that you're enjoying and entertained. Hopefully some of my other work also makes you happy.

medallion explanation - clever

thank you : )

Though you will notice that it doesn't solve everything.

:::::The person responsible vill need to be made an example of, so that I do not need to be distracted by another attempt in a few years. I have arranged for people to deal vith the maerrocholith demons, they are not the ones making the poor decisions. Sveetums, Thudge and Dvight vill take care of them for me, or perhaps for Kermit.::::

YES! The monster trio!

For some reason, I get this twisted image of Sweetums, Thudge, and Dwight standing in a warehouse somewhere over the broken and unconscious bodies of maerrocholith demons.

Sweetums: "So...who's going to go get the pizza?"

Dwight: "The hell with that, we gotta' call Oscar and tell him about this town, we got some prime real estate he can invest in."

Thudge (looking around): "Y'know...with a little work, we could probably make this place look like the old theater."

*******************

grrr...arrrgh...dammit Lucinda, you made me do it again.

*Bangs head against desk to get crazy images out of head*



But seriously, I loved this update and I'm so glad that you haven't abandoned this fic...except now I have to update my fics too before I get yelled at...(yes, more Marriage Counseling is going to be put up soon...and I still blame you for that idea).

As for the the chapter...I loved how you wrapped up the whole thing with Paul...although I'm surprised the Count didn't do something really vindictive like tying Paul to a cross in the town square so he can watch the sun come up and go "FWOOOOOOSH!"....oh wait...can't do that, people might get the wrong idea.

I can't wait to see what the Count's going to do to the one foolish enough to take his frog. You do understand that after what you had the count do to Paul, you're going to have to find a way to top that, right?

The conversation is brilliant, and is trying to talk me into 'borrowing' it. : ) Isn't part of the point of TtH to share my (and all the other authors) creative crossover visions? Maybe they'll have more fun if they can talk to you as well.

I haven't abandoned my scary muppets, and I'm not planning on it. Things just got a bit hectic. Contracts is nearly done, and this one's winding up, but they should both be properly completed. And there's also the rest of my WiP list...

Your Marriage Counseling fic is delightful - I look forward to seeing more.

Paul wasn't important enough to go to that much effort when there were real issues at hand. He had gone from someone who needed a painful lesson to a diversion to a loose end - and loose ends can too easily trip someone up. Count doesn't intend that someone to be him.

I am well aware that the one behind Kermit's kidnapping must be suitably punished. We're still plotting the precise details.

*grins* I love this story. It's good to see a chapter added.

you're quite welcome, and I'm glad it entertains you.

This has redeemed a rather miserable day for me. Thank you ever so much for this wonderfully creepy update. Go, Count, go! How old do you estimate he is, anyway? I rather suspect that the Count's skin color and texture is a result of his age, similar to The Master's "bat boy from the Weekly World News" look and Kakistos' cloven appendages.

Glad that I could help you feel a bit better : ) I finally got the Count to stop fuming and start moving, though I had to talk to Kermit first...

As for the Count's age... I have the feeling that he'd count it up year by year, 'starting vith vun, two, three...' and nobody's every lingered long enough for him to stop and end up with how old he is today.

Age-induced muppet-ness... giggle... Well, they do say that people shrink as they age, and it does seem to be a bit individualized.

Lucinda

I missed this update when it came out. The Count is coming across as a wonderfully creepy, relatively powerful vampire. Made of felt... OR who looks made of felt? It's bizarre, and shouldn't work, but it does.

Please update. This fic is hilarious, i'll never look at the count the same way. I acn't wait to see what you have him do to Kermit's abductors.

This is so great! I love how you've managed to take something a absurd as the Muppets and integrate it so well in the BuffyVerse. Making the Count so frightening yet still so.... Muppetish!

More soon please!
