Hey, folks. This is another edition of Mancub's Den. I got a lot to cover regarding what went down lately with Fanfiction and my stories. So farr, I'm doin' good and I'm a little on the fence about the recent revamp of Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin in Disneyland. Which I'll also express my two cents on. Let's get it.

====About The Fanfiction Issue=======

For those who are not aware, Fanfiction had issues with their website and I found out about it yesterday that evening. I was done doing the prologue chapter to my new Roger Rabbit fanfic, "A Rabbits Vacation: High Rollin' Hijinks" and I was in the process of uploading my new story to the site. However, I couldn't access the "back door" to my account in order to do so. The page was blank and I tried to refresh and close my browser and repeat the process. I googled the issue and my questions were answered being that the website had issues with post login and they were fixing it up. After dinner, I checked again and I can access my account and finally posted the story. However, I couldn't access my private messaging on the site. It was blank on the page as well but Fictionpress who operates Fanfiction said that their server in charge of the PMs overheated and bit the dust. So I'm out of luck to tell some of you about the new releases. Sometime today, they're suppose to get that issue fixed. That's all I can say on the issue for those wondering why. Hope that helps and maybe today or tomorrow that the Private Messaging system will be up and running in no time.

====My Take On The Revamped Version Of Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin======

Before I can say anything about the ride, I'll make a quick history lesson Of the ride. Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin is a dark ride in Disneyland and Disneyland Tokyo where you ride On Benny's twin cousin, Lenny The Cab as you race through Toontown to help rescue Jessica Rabbit from the weasels before she gets dipped. It was a success hit with guests at the park that it's the only Roger Rabbit related ride in Mickey's Toontown to date. There were going to be more rides related to Roger Rabbit being the first rollercoaster in homage to the short Rollercoaster Rabbit and a buggy ride called Baby Herman's Buggy where you ride in the buggy to witness Roger and Herman's adventures related to Tummy Trouble. But due to difficult decisions and other priorities, they were scrapped. But now, the update to the ride brought the fans' piss to a boil.
Now why is that? It's because Disney decided to strip Jessica Rabbit's role as damsel-in-distress and removed her role from being in the trunk of the weasels' car and is replaced with barrels of dip. People thought she was gone for good but the silver Lining was that she wasn't gone from the ride. She was fully covered up with a trenchcoat to update to the modern times. That pissed the fans off because of the fake outrage by people who do not care about the movie nor try to watch it.

When I heard of this I wasn't that Pissed but really disappointed. Today's culture is all about walking on eggshells and try to appeal to the 1% who don't give a damn about the product and alienate the true fans that were down with Disney or any other company in the west since day one. In a way, it makes me angry because fans want good entertainment and not the BS that's going On. In fact, if Disney were to release a Roger Rabbit sequel next year or after, they'll most likely be bound to eff it up because of the nonsense going on. But hey, that's why sites like Fanfiction and Wattpad exists so us fans can express our passion of the things we love like Roger Rabbit, Star Wars, DC or any fandom without any stupid interfering. Boy, I need to calm down about this. Anyway, that's my take on the matter regarding the update on the ride being that Jessica Rabbit is now a private eye. I'm fine with her being a detective but at least keep some of her characteristics that made her iconic in the first place like make her outfit a little scanty. That's all I have to say on this.

======Status On My Stories======

I recently uploaded my stories in the past few days. Aside from the new story I've mentioned above, I did the second case Of Rabbits At Law and a third canceled short called Clean and Oppressed in Roger Rabbit's Wacky Toons which is the only updates related to Roger Rabbit fandom I've done. As for the other story outside the RR fandom, I've uploaded a new chapter of Captain Hurricane and the Superhero Girls yesterday before parts of the Fanfiction site crashed. Feel free to check those out when you get the chance. Hopefully, I can get the final canceled short finished in Roger Rabbit's Wacky Toons called Bronco Bustin' Bunny which I would complete all 4 of the canceled shorts Disney could've made. Oh and I Forgot about the short starring Benny and Roger as they pick up guest characters in Toontown in the vain of Crazy Taxi. I spun that short into a pilot in another fanfic called Roger and Benny's Crazy Fares. After I'm done with the short, Jessica will get her solo short followed by original shorts I can Imagine. Anyway, that's it for the story updates.

====== Other Stuff=====

I recently made a poll related to Rabbits At Law where you guys can vote on the 4th case I can work on. The 3rd case is currently in development but I'll give you guys the 3 choices with a description below.
Oscar Proud vs. Toontown: Some Of the Toontown residents suffer from Oscar's Proud Snacks and they had enough of it. The Proud Family goes to the Rabbits for their services. However, Winnie Weasel, the rival attorney to the Rabbits reps the victims of Oscar's snack failure.

Titannia vs. Giganta: Two of comics' giant babes has beef with each other fighting and raising hell in Toontown and now it's up to the Rabbits to sort this one out.

Cast Of Luca vs. Pixar: The cast of Luca want their fair share of the cut from their movie but Pixar isn't giving them their demands. Now the Rabbits and Mickey Mouse must make a settlement in favor of their clients.

That's the choices of the poll, folks. I'll give you all a month until October 22nd and then I'll close it. Until then, I'll keep an eye on the results once in a while.

Also, I heard about Disney announcing a 4K UHD Blu-ray pack of my fav film being who Framed Roger Rabbit coming in December 7th of this year in a standard or steelbook edition. Although I always watch the film on Disney plus anywhere and anytime. It's just a heads up and maybe Disney would have a teaser of a sequel since a placeholder is the year 2022. Maybe Disney might've worked something Out with WB to include Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera. After all, they own Droopy, Tom and Jerry and others they can add in behind the veil. But I hope they can work something out.
Anyway, that's it for this newsletter. And once Fanfiction's Private Messaging issue is resolved, please PM me anything related to the newsletter or my fics. As always, LilMancub out and I'll see y'all in the next one. Next up is behind the scenes of Roger Rabbit's wacky Toons.
