a minor glitch about look read! play make share

About This Section

"Welcome, my child, to a minor glitch's Read-Only Room-- a storehouse of a bunch of stuff that MG has written about ReBoot. And my favorite way to go a little more insane-- by reading some of this nonsense. If you promise not to touch anything other than this window--"
CRASH!
"Hey! What did I just say? You'll have to pay for that!"

Phong

Uh... thank you, Phong, for that interesting introduction. Now I guess it's my turn to tell about what you'll find in this section.

First off, the stuff here is fanfiction. Stories and things I've made up because I like ReBoot and think about it too much. Someone told me they didn't think it was too likely my stories would be made into real episodes. Believe me, I know they won't! It's all just a bunch of nonsense, and I generally don't even try to make it seem much like the real show.

Second, everything here is by me (MG) or co-authored by me. I don't know why, but some people are under the impression that I am looking for fanfic to post here. While there are lots of good ReBoot fanfic archives out there that would love to receive your submissions (check The ReBoot Fanfic SiteRing if you don't know where to start looking), this is not one of them. No offense, that's just the way I choose to run the R.O.R.

If you'd like to have some idea of what you're about to get yourself into before you begin reading, just check the list below.

skits & bits
(buttons, the renegade lamb)
A serial story of Matrix and his new sidekick, a fluffy little lamb.
 
(practical reboot)
Can't make it through a half-hour when you're not watching ReBoot? Let Brent Byte show you the way!
 
(from the case files of emma fee)
The adventures of Emma Fee, Prog Censor. Includes the secret of... "unmentionables," and how a naked dog is bad for business.
 
(glitch bob's yule log)
Glitch Bob spent the holidays with us, and we made him keep an online journal.
 
(spinoff showcase)
"Here at Rebo-Lu Studios, we're committed to producing only the finest cheap knock-offs of more innovative shows. With that goal in mind, we proudly introduce our newest batch of shows, all inspired by the hit series ReBoot." [This one's illustrated!]

stories
(slumber party, aka...)
How do I explain this one? Hmm... it could take a very long time... It involves a night at Bob's apartment after a peculiar disaster has struck the city. You'd have to read it to understand, but I can't guarantee your mental health won't be affected if you do read it.
 
(back to school)
Enzo has to go back to class after the restart. Both of him.
 
(bobopoly: the fic)
You've played the game, now read the story!
 
(reboot takes to the air!)
The exclamation point in the title implies a wacky adventure, and that's just what you get! Unless you're Bob.
 
(a wedding in mainframe)
No comment.

co-authored
(bein' the command.com)
Co-written with Julia_Cat, it tells of Dot's troubles as the first female Command.Com. As a special bonus, it's written in actual paragraphs!
 
(reboot tonight)
Co-written with Al's Waiter, it's a ReBoot/Muppets Tonight crossover. I guess I just have a thing for green and blue characters...
 
(plot twist: the fic that would not die)
I really did try to kill it, but it overwhelmed me with its bizarre campiness. It's not over 'til it's over-- and even then it isn't over. Help!

MiST-ish
(bobndot's appointment with charm)
MG tries to convince Bob and Dot to get married by making them read an old book. They are surprisingly receptive to the idea when forced to be so. Fun is had by all.

lists
(ykywtmrw: road trip edition)
I've been on more ReBoot roadtrips than... Well, more than I care to admit. Here's some of what I learned out on the open road. Or something like that.
 
(unlikely suspects)
The top ten least likely to be Daemon-- no matter how much I'd like them to be.
 
(top 10 merchandise ideas)
Not yet available in stores-- but you never know! No, I don't really wish any harm to kittens or children. Please don't hurt me.
 
(seven cadet scenarios)
Why did Bob make Enzo a cadet? I've got a few ideas...
 
(top 10 ways to get a season 4)
Some ideas born of desperation during the long wait following season three. Thank goodness we didn't actually have to use any of them.
 
(top 10 unusual costumes)
For when you want to dress in a ReBoot costume, but don't want it to be anything normal.

poems
(ode to bob)
My guardian-obsessed poem. *sigh* I missed him terribly.
 
(reboot haikutopia)
Oddly enough, an episode guide. Sorta.
 
(song for the system voice)
The System Voice's very own poem-- I've also got a thing for characters that aren't given much to do.
 
(ykcowrebbob)
Also known as "Bobberwocky," but it depends which side of the looking glass you're on.
 
(that's my bob!)
Strange words, bad puns, and lots of rhymes for "Bob."
 
(instant love poem generator)
If you like well-thought-out romantic poetry, DON'T go here.

and
(mg's notebook)
For those of you curious about how my mind works, I present the following samples from "The Big Book of Beetroot"! You will regret ever caring about me after reading it.
 
(fics i'll probably never write)
I had the ideas, but I didn't have the time, creativity, and/or stupidity. And you should be glad of it.
 
(what i did last night...)
What happened one night while I stayed up late for finals. Sadly, this is not a fic. This is my life.
 
(hostile takeover)
My first encounter with Guardian Skipperdee of the Sprite Liberation Front. At least she's not in my computer anymore...
 
(fwd: who knows?)
*Who knows* what makes my mind work in such a way that I feel compelled to create fake junk mail?
