Muse Scouts

By overwhelming popular demand.

Let’s not put the Girl Scouts out of business, though. Some of their cookies are flamablamablous.


Meet Our Muses

Who’s your Muse?

Suggested by The Man For Aeiou, who describes it this way: “remember the feature from 2003ish in the mag? like that, only for Muses of us artist, writers, Etc. What’s POSOC’s Muse like? Who’s Alice’s? what about the rest of the MBers?”


Other Muse Academies

Let’s Get Physiognomical, 2008.1

It was a hit last year and is bound to be again. Here’s how we described it then:

“Physiognomy” (which rhymes, sort of, with “Frog? Nah, me.”) is a fancy word for face. Here, by popular request, is a thread whereon MuseBloggers can guess what other MBers look like.

When They’re Not on the Blog, Album 2

More offline ventures of our irrepressible MuseBloggers. See also the previous album.

Grant took advantage of a strong wind to get some photos of the Union Jack rippling in full glory. The flagpole, which he is making, is not yet finished.


And here we see Midnight Fiddler in her natural habitat.



Muse Academy RPG*

*Role-Playing Game, of course.

National Pie Day (January 23)

As Gingersnap has just pointed out, today, January 23, is National Pie Day.

It’s true! You can read all about it on the website of the National Pie Council at www. piecouncil.org/national.htm . The Council’s list of “Random Acts of Pieness,” however, seems woefully incomplete…


Muse FanFiction, v. 2008.1

Continued from Muse Fanfiction, v. 2007.2.

These are not RRRs but solo projects which share the same thread. Start your own, or just stop by and visit.


penguini’s Christmas Bunny Melée

She explains, "I was decorating my Christmas tree a few days ago… And I opened a box and out sprang an hpb. It made off with an ornament and unplugged the tree." And adds: "The bunnies took me by suprise, hence the bad focus and weird angles." (Photos are below the fold.)

Ask the GAPAs, No. 5

More questions. Occasional answers. Continued from No. 4.


Ships’ Logs: Beyond Museica, Part 10

In which we bid Captain Canix a dull uneventful rewarding and pastry-laden retirement as his crew scrambles to adjust ranks and ready themselves in time for the next voyage. In other developments, the former coxswain of the Black-Footed Ferret now captains her own ship, the Amphitrite.

For further information, you’re on your own, or read Ships’ Logs: Beyond Museica, Part 9, for all the good it will do you.


Role-Playing Writing, v. 2007.2, Part 1 [Settling the Planet]

Alice launched the first RPW thread in May 2007, describing it as follows:

Everyone makes up one character (made up, mind you!) and we decide on plot, time, etc. just like usual. Then we start. It would be in the form of letters or e-mails, and we would say at the top of our post who the letter was to.

Everyone would have to read all of the posts, though, to prevent conflicting plot twists, but their character wouldn’t know about whatever the letter said unless it was addressed to them.

Get it?
If not, then phooey. That was hard to explain.

Even though the original one is still going on, we’re starting a new Role-Playing Writing thread from scratch so that newcomers and latecomers can participate. Have fun!
