Hi Everyone, I've been meaning to get a post like this started on Neds.. we need a place where we can all list those fleeting random ideas we have from time to time - you know where we think: Whoooo that would be a fun blog post!!! and then it promptly gets forgotten! eek!! Here is the place to post them - feel free to think up ideas and suggest away - there is no obligation for you to write the post.. or anyone to write the post.. If you decide to go ahead and put some thoughts together on a topic just let us know here. There's plenty of space for people to have a go creating a post if they wish to [you can just write it in word and email it to me if you want to make it easy on yourself] - and if you don' t want to bother with images I can help you with that.. or if not me then maybe one of the other JWWM authors may be able to assist.
(BTW- sorry this is not a thread for fan fic ideas..)
I'm excited by the idea of having a little repository of ideas that we can add to as we have these random thoughts, and which any of us can come to.. if we are seeking inspiration and if you wanted.. you could share if you really love an idea- and hope it gets done one day.. you never know - your wish may be granted byeee!!

Oh I just remembered something else I said on the blog the other day.. *If there is anyone around who has a passion and knowledge about music - it would be wonderful to hear more of SMK music.. and I mentioned on the blog that Rubenstein wrote the music for 55 episodes.. I wondered.. was the music really different in the other 33? could we guess which episodes he didn't write the music for? I know I'll never write this post.. I don't know enough! *I'm remembered another idea I had! ha!! I was thinking it could be fun to do a little poll regularly - where 2 outfits are presented.. and we all get to vote on which is the worst out of the two. The worst of the two outfits then goes on to the next poll and is compared against another horrific outfit.. and so on and so on.. until we are left with the ultimate... all time worst smk outfit!!! - what do you think? could be fun.. and quick.. and easy! *I think a blog post of SMK pick up lines could be fun too.. (intentional or unintentional ) *And I've just created a neds thread asking for ideas for an 'smk guide to dating' post or maybe a few posts.. so I'm going to go ahead with that idea I think.. but umm I'm no promising!!! lol.. The walk through the eps will continue the rest.. is if I can squeeze in the time! Hey learjet.. what about an SMK make-up post?? [Captain Sparrow anyone?!] byee guys..

I'm currently reviewing S1, looking for material for an insults post.
I'm also wanting to do a what-is-that-in-Lee's-apartment post...

I'm still playing with the idea of another Francine post - mainly about what we can learn about her background from the show and what conclusions can be drawn from that. Also, how that might (have) affect(ed) her personality. It'll have to wait till we're through season 4, though, since basically THE essential Francine episode is "A Matter of Choice" and that one's the second to last ...

I like the sound of the what-is-that-in-Lee's-apartment post, KC. I once saw some sand paintings on his wall that I swear look like some that my parents had when I was a kid. Maybe somebody (who knows more about interior decorating than I do, hopefully) could do one about how Amanda's house changes over the different seasons because she redecorates. Glad that the pig pictures disappear. I wish I knew what happened to those cow signs from the first episode, though. I'm almost finished with my Billy profile, although it should still be left for the 4th season because I had to cite some of the 4th season episodes. Was someone going to do something on Dotty?

When you are ready to write it we'll be ready to read it Knell's Francine post will be great no doubt - but guys - others can do a Francine post if they wish too - there is ample room for many views of characters..

It's fun to think of all the expertise we bring to smk.. great idea Jestress!!! is there an interior decorator amongst us? Kiwismh did a fab job sharing her housing knowledge with us and comparing how Amanda' s house changed in season 1 and 2.. did you catch those posts? Billy profile? Ohhh if you must leave it till season 4 then fair enough.. but if you want it to be a few posts and you are building up to season 4 - well we can publish the earlier ones if you wish.. really up to you - and will depend on the style of your writing and ideas.. so really - anything is fine. and I"ll look forward to reading it! Dotty.. Hmm.. I know Learjet just did 2 posts on Dotty.. there was talk of more wasn't there.. me confused.. Was Valerie working on a Dotty post? [sorry if I'm mistaken!] sorry guys I get confused as I really just take it all as it comes we do what we can when we can and that's all good! I've always thought a life lessons by Dotty would be a hoot.. not just the romantic ones but the ones relating to architects and camping ha!

I've always thought a life lessons by Dotty would be a hoot.. not just the romantic ones but the ones relating to architects and camping ha! Oh, yes, I remember those posts now. Sometimes, I get confused about what people have actually done and what we just talked about doing. Other ideas I had for posts (unless someone else has done these, they’re up for grabs if no one has): 1. Lee’s surprise appearances – I’m pretty sure we’ve talked about the odd places where he’s suddenly popped up, but is there a separate post about it? 2. Improvised Weapons – something else I noted in the character awards, Amanda particularly seems to have a knack for using various ordinary objects as weapons 3. Book/literary/movie references in SMK – Most of the books characters read aren’t real books (like Dotty’s romantic spy thriller and Amanda’s favorite childhood book), but some are and there are other literary references such as all the Wizard of Oz references. They also mention a number of real movies like Camille and Wait Until Dark 4. Parenting advice in SMK – This is probably best done by someone who is actually a parent, but Amanda and Dotty are both full of advice about raising kids. Remember, children are like Chihuahuas (according to Dotty ). I listed some of these things in the character awards, but I think it's worthy of a post that goes into more detail.

I think you should definitely do 2. and 3. You have the lateral thinking ability to do 2. and the encyclopedic knowledge needed to do 3. I think I'd quite like to try the parenting one. Warning: I don't think I'd agree with a lot of the advice!

As I mentioned at JWWM, I'm starting a list of guest posts including who is interested in doing them, so we don't overlap each other. Let me know if you are interested in anything so far. So far I've got: 1) jestress - Billy post but only during S4. Any others you want to do, Jestress eg from your greatlist above (unsubtle hint) 2) Cindy and Happycamper - JWWM dictionary post 3) KC - insults post, what's in Lee's apartment post ?more vehicle patrol and tie patrol posts 4) Me - SMK Drinks, SMK food, SMK sports Other thoughts I've had - 1) Favourite goodies eg Emily, Mr Brand etc 2) Regular agency characters eg Leatherneck, Mrs Marston I think they'd not warrant a whole post each so could be grouped as per 1) and 2) Anyone interested?? Another thought for a once off - an introduction to Neds mini-post to follow-up on Jenbo 's introduction when Neds started. By Jenbo (if she has time) or maybe one of those who has posted more than - ahem - 500 times.....

If Jestress doesn't want to do it (or anyone else) -- I could see myself covering her great suggestion of an improvised weapons post...
Of course, now I just need to find to work on those and on the transcriptions I have. LOL!

Warning: I don't think I'd agree with a lot of the advice! I've started making notes for 2 and 3, but if KC would like to contribute to 2, that would be good. Actually, I was thinking that I'd have to get a little help from one of you because I don't have the pictures that I want to add to the posts and I'd have to get them from someone else. So, maybe what I could do is finish up the part that I've started, and if KC is willing, I could pass it on to her for some proofreading/additions and added pictures, and we can call it a joint post between us. How does that sound? And, for all the help Learjet's given Iwsod on JWWM and coordinating the guest posts, I'd like to present her with . . . The Cookie! Enjoy its virtual chocolate-y goodness and then pass it on to the next person who does something that deserves recognition!
