Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!

Hello! Serious Heart here with the prologue of It’s the Seriously Good Show! In this show, my Poptropican, Serious Heart, after defeating Zeus, is trying to convert the people of Mythology Island to modern times by having a chat show. Both real and fake people will be here. Let’s begin!

It’s the Seriously Good Show
Prologue

The audience was waiting. Serious Heart was panicking. He needed to make a good impression on them. He got dressed in a handsome suit, and prepared. Serious Heart came out from the curtain in the Café at Shark Tooth Island.

“Welcome to the chat show. It’s the Seriously Good Show, where I interview famous and/or smart Poptropicans! Now, I bet you’re all wondering, what are you doing here?”

“Yes!” a woman with fruit on her head shouted.

“Well, you guys are old school. You need to be familiar with modern times. Look, there are more futuristic islands out there. I plan to get you guys some respect,” Serious Heart explained.

A girl named Shoeless Raptor raised her hand. Serious Heart pointed at her. “Yeah?”

“Me and my BFF, Curious Clown, were wondering, why don’t you just hold it on Mythology?”

“Zeus hates me after I defeated him. We’d probably have bad weather, if I chose there,” Serious Heart explained. “Besides, the owner of the café was happy to let us use it! Anyway, I’ll pick Poptropicans that are famous, Poptropicans that are smart, or Poptropicans that are famous and smart! Any more questions?”

Silence. “No? Then we’re going to come back next week. We’ll have our first guest!” Serious Heart said. “Stay tuned!”

अच्छे समय के लिए चीयर्स,
Serious Heart

A Letter to the Poptropica Creators 📝 re: Game and Blog Inactivity

June 25, 2023 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Anon. Enjoy!

Hi Poptropica Creators,

What’s going on? I know you might have been bothered by this subject, but you haven’t posted on the official blog in four months, since February, despite comments about it from fans on social media.

To be honest, I’ve been really worried sick about you and your game. Many Poptropicans are saying the Pop Creators’ Blog is dead and so is the game. Many are losing interest and walking away. It seems like Poptropica is heading down the same path as MovieStarPlanet, a game that was abandoned by its developers without new updates.

The Pop Creators’ Blog was last updated in February — four months ago!

But I’m not gonna stop playing your game or supporting you guys. I still really love Poptropica. I just think it needs a lot more improvement, and I’d love to help, but it’s hard to know how.

Poptropica has been a major part of my childhood, as well as lots of other people’s childhoods. I’ve even been a guest blogger on the official blog. You’ve talked about bringing back the old islands, and if fans could help, we’d love to — particularly for all the old-school islands like Early Pop and the original Reality TV that didn’t make it to the Steam bundle.

If we could play these classics again, people would come back to the game. And I still have that hope that things can get better.

Nessie?: Hard to make out those shapes in the water…

So I wonder and I ask, will you really bring the classic islands back? How about other popular features now lost, such as the Multiverse or common rooms on every island? And is there any way fans can help, whether with programming, remembering, or just general support?

Thank you for reading, have a great summer, and hope to hear from you soon…

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 6: Chaos in City Hall

June 19, 2023 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Ohhh… you must be pretty upset with me for ruining that perfect, happy in the last episode with another planted blueberry smoothie machine and ANOTHER zombie. But I didn’t like all this… peacefulness and decided to send certain people to their doom (if you’ve ever written a story, you’ll understand). But now you want to know what happens next! Of course, of course! (Or start from the beginning here.)

Please enjoy Episode Six, and PLEASE don’t hate me for all the events that happen. (Feel free to tell me if you want any characters/islands in the future episodes! Bosko was suggested by Fast Lizard.)

Magic Kid— over and out!

Episode Six: Chaos in City Hall

The City Hall of Goofball Island is frozen. Nobody is moving. Athena has her mouth open, and Birdy, Pick, and Hawk seem to turn to stone for a moment, because of that terrible, terrible shock. And then fear floods the bones of all the Poptropicans in the City Hall. Fear that is so surprising, so frightening that for a solid minute, everybody is staying still, like they are made of ice.

Zombie

Bleh?

And the chaos erupts. Poptropicans screaming, fainting, running. The zombie chases the scared-silly mayor around until…

Bosko

No!

…The mayor becomes indigo as well. Another zombie.

Fanfic: The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder 🌩️ Chapter 3

June 15, 2023June 14, 2023 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Serious Heart. Enjoy!

Hello! Serious Heart here, with Chapter 3 of The Chronicles of Friendly Thunder, taking place on 24 Carrot Island. Enjoy!

(Start from Prologue) (Continued from Chapter 2)

FADE IN.

FRIENDLY THUNDER, DIZZY CLAW, and ICY SNAKE are in the pipe. They go through the pipe and enter a dark room.

DIZZY CLAW:
Why is it so dark?

ICY SNAKE:
I don’t know! I can’t see my hand in front of my face!

FRIENDLY THUNDER goes over to three switches.

FRIENDLY THUNDER:
I’d love some light right now.

DIZZY CLAW:
I second it.

The lights turn on, and a claw starts moving.

DIZZY CLAW (sighs):
Was that supposed to be a name pun? You know, Dizzy Claw, and that’s a claw?

Crickets chirp in the background.

DIZZY CLAW:
No? Fine.

FRIENDLY THUNDER:
Come on, Dizzy Claw!

Fanfic: Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES! 🧟 Ep. 5: Goofing Off

June 4, 2023 Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Magic Kid. Enjoy!

Heya! The day that you have all been waiting for— Zombies, Zombies, ALWAYS ZOMBIES. I might as well give you a brief introduction, but if you had missed the last chapter you can catch it here, or start from the beginning here. I also have some art that you can find here.

The story ended last time when Clumsy Bird, Witty Toothpick, and Jazzy Hawk got word that there were more people out there surviving, and that they would hold a meeting on Goofball Island, in the city hall. So they set their yellow blimp on course to that island… but… someone is watching their every move. And the team knows nothing about it at all.

What happens next?

You’ll have to find out for yourself.

ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ALWAYS ZOMBIES!

A Zomberry Series

Episode Five: Goofing Off

It’s nearing morning.

The yellow blimp passes several peaceful fields, gliding through the crisp morning air, over dew-spangled grass. The sun, just peeking over the horizon of hills, is bright and pure.

And then there are the zombies.

They are a bright indigo color, and occasionally speckling the grass. But they are what turn this rather calm morning into something of a nightmare. The birds tweeting and calling are drowned out by the eerie moans and groans.

Clumsy Bird

It’s MORNING? Isn’t this WONDERFUL?!

Clumsy Bird (or Birdy) seems extra cheerful this morning, perhaps because they were on their way to meet fellow survivors. She is bouncing around the small blimp, making it shake a little.

Witty Toothpick

Stop shaking the blimp! It’s too early in the morning! *yawn*

Clumsy Bird sits down on the chair by the blimp’s steering wheel, and keeps bouncing her feet off the group.

Clumsy Bird

I can’t help it!! I’m just TOO EXCITED!

Jazzy Hawk

Stop talking! We’re t— *yawn* t—tired.

Birdy

Well, too bad! Wake up! WAKE UP!!! I CAN’T WAIT!
