Snowflake Challenge #9
Jan. 17th, 2023 06:00 pmCelebrate a win in 2022.
I dipped a toe into both a new writing format and a new fandom, Hogan's Heroes. Thanks to a challenge on theforce.net, I wrote a tanka to provide a finale for a fondly remembered show. Poetry came hard and this tanka ate my brain for about two weeks. Vielmouse made my day with my nicest review in twenty twenty-two.
Series finales proved rare in this TV era, let me tell you; in fact, I'd need to think hard about any show that had one because the emphasis on renewal made showrunners wear blinders, I guess. Falling ratings destroyed the very idea of finales getting produced to make the fans, well, not happy, but maybe fulfilled? Allow Sergeant Saunders and Lt. Hanley to at least fight their way into Germany!
