You know when you get one of these ideas that seems just so perfect and takes hold of you, but you can't or won't start on it just yet? It took me awhile, and the thoughts have been plaguing me for a long time, writhing about in my skull and multiplying into more and more ideas. I was determined to first write my analysis of Donald Duck in the role of the trickster god in Chip and Dale classic shorts.
That has now been accomplished, in all its glory and length, and I've checked the initial reactions from the peanut gallery. Nezumi likes it and agrees that Donald Ducks fits the roles of Coyote or Anansi quite well. Neal Wolf admits that I make many good points, but as of yet doesn't think Donald would fit very well, and Nezumi/Neal Wolf have gone off into a little thing about how well Loki qualifies as a "typical" trickster god. Owlor and Clockwork Cat seem warm to the idea, and Racebest seems floored by the fact that someone would a) think this in-depth about a cartoon, and b) write all that down. Little does he know that I had analyses written for the other three episodes on the DVD, but cut those out in the interest of keeping the post to a controllable length and sated myself with only a few observations about general trends in the episodes. Also, BOC42 noticed that I finally got around to doing this, and made a suggestion on my future thesis paper. Overall, I am feeling quite pleased about this.
*ahem* Back on topic... Wow, I'm hijacking my own post. Anyway, now that my analysis of a mythological archetype in old Disney cartoons is up, I can move on to the ideas that have been plaguing me.

That's right, it's fanfic time!

Welcome to Rubbish Bin #3. In my room, there is a small white trash can with the words “Rubbish Bin #2” on its side in permanent marker. Rubbish Bin #1 is a small decrepit blue notebook where I write stories, scenes, and half-baked ideas that never see the light of day.

Floating in cyberspace, you see the words "Rubbish Bin #3" hanging in neon purple letters. They melt and reform constantly.

There is a pile of linguistic drivel on the floor.
