New Citizen Focus


This month's user profile focuses on Cat Foxglove. Here's how she answered one of her questions...

"What character in the movie do you think you are most like? Why?"

"I'd like to think that I’m a combination of Jareth and Sarah, but it always ends up that I'm more like Sarah than I'd like to admit. I can be stubborn, but once I set my mind to getting something done, there's really nothing that can sway me from finishing a task. And, like Sarah, there's always that part of me that wants to get away from life. I guess most people do at some point."

New Writings Available


There are a few more additions to our writing sections...

THE HUNGER, by Melissa Davis

"Her milky white skin beaded with sweat, the scratches and tares that raked over her entire body no longer visible as they had healed. She looked so pale as she thrashed about within the dark sheets, oblivious to Jareth’s presence as he tried to hold her still. He had tried everything within his power to help her but nothing he did would help. He felt helpless as he was forced to watch her on the brink of death."

DISSECTION OF A FAE KING, by Cat Foxglove

"First, I observed this man’s eyes, which while a deep cerulean, were colder than ice. Yet as I looked more closely, I could see the vast vault of the heavens in those eyes, and the coals, now dead, that at one point must have shone brighter than a thousand moons, and sent out more fire than a hundred suns."

Poem entitled "JARETH" by Echo

"Jareth; King of Goblin fame
Maharajah of dark domain
Those eyes of glass, sharp splinter gaze
To pierce my heart - a peaches' haze.
"

New Underground Gazette


The second issue of the Underground Gazette is available.

One on One from the Oubliette (by Jody)

"It was a rainy day in the Underground, and I'd been given a peculiar assignment that took me to the fringes of the Labyrinth and into the old fashioned and genteel world of one Mr. Alexius Worm. Featured briefly in the motion picture "LABYRINTH," Mr. Worm is depicted as Sarah's would-be saviour from immediate access to The Castle. In his cameo Mr. Worm offers up his favorite beverage...tea. Sarah politely declines, but after the film Mr. Worm found himself privy to far more glamourous takers of his humble invitation."

The Underground Howl with Mistress Wolf

"Wearing masks is a central theme throughout the film: Jareth's 'mask' is his fairytale role as the Goblin King. He has to live up to the expectations of this role, and he also has to be Sarah's adversary throughout her Labyrinthine journey. Sarah wears a proverbial 'mask' as well. She recites the lines of a fairytale heroine in her bid to escape the obligations of 'real' life..."

New Jody's Oubliette - Beauty


"Apparently the whole thing began some eighteen years ago when Jareth decided that the goblins were really just too dirty and smelly. He decreed that once a year would be "Beauty Day" and that each and every goblin in his kingdom had to bathe and apply a facial cleanser. He decided that as further incentive he would reward the goblin who acheived an appearance closest in nature to actual beauty with a 'SMACK PASS...'"
