I made a ttte fic! based on these engines:

Ant and Bee are small mining engines that pull ore, coal, overburden, and, of course, the mines workers. other engines call them "hobbits" but they know it's all in good fun, and they don't really mean to be rude.

One Day, On The Great Laxey Mine Railway...

"Ant, Bee..." Their Controller Boomed "Yes?" The two asked. "I am buying a new locomotive. They shall arrive soon."

"Do you have any more information?" Bee Asked. "Yes. They Shall Be a Battery Electric Engine. They will be unveiled at Valley Gardens at 6pm." he said. and walked off. Soon, the two were off to work, pulling ore, coal, and overburden from the mines, and workers to the mines. while at the water tower, they talked. "What do you think the new engine's name will be?" Ant asked "maybe fly?" Bee thought "or cockroach?" said Ant. suddenly, they heard a bell

"They must be calling us to see the new engine." the two went to see the new engine. "Hello." the engine said "I am Wasp." "Hello, Wasp! I'm Ant!" "Bleh! you smell horrid!" Wasp said "How Rude!" said Bee "It's true, Ant. have you Been cleaned?" the electric engine asked, "well...only lightly, this is a mining railway." Bee said, "So it would be redundant." They Continued. "speaking of" said Ant. "you have to take these flatbeds." Wasp Bashed into the foolish flatbeds carrying some new thumpers. "OW!" the flatbeds yelled. "We'll pave that green square out...'' they said. "No problem!" Wasp said. Wasp drove recklessly, bashing the flatbeds. though soon, they stopped in the mine. "Alright. unload the thumPAAAAAAAAA-" Screamed Wasp "ON ON!" the flatbeds screamed, and SMASHED into the mine. "OH NO!" said Wasp, as the mine COLLAPSED! the workers were all out, but Wasp Wasnt. "Don't worry!" said Ant. And Them, With Bee, Tied Ropes To Wasp. and pulled "GRRRRRRRRRRRR" after lots of pulling, They Finally Brought Wasp, The Flatbeds, and thumpers out. "now you know not to Bump flatbeds, don't you?" said Bee "Yes, I do..." Wasp said. soon the thumpers were breaking down the rocks, so the engines and miners could get back to work.

Flatbeds: The Ultimate Solution for Transporting Oversized Cargo

When it comes to transporting oversized and bulky items, traditional cargo vehicles often fall short of meeting the demands. That's why flatbeds have become the best solution for safely and efficiently transporting large loads. In this blog, we will explore the benefits and applications of flatbeds and understand why they are the ultimate choice for any transportation needs involving oversized cargo.

What are flatbeds?

Flatbeds are a type of truck trailer that has a flat and level platform. They are commonly used for hauling oversized items. Unlike enclosed trailers or trucks, flatbeds have an open design, which allows for easy loading and unloading. This makes them well-suited for transporting goods that cannot fit within the limited space of traditional trailers. Flatbeds provide a stable and secure base for transporting a wide range of oversized and unconventional items. The unrestricted loading and unloading capabilities of flatbeds make them a preferred choice for many industries.

The Versatility of Flatbeds

One of the key advantages of flatbeds is their versatility. They can handle a wide range of oversized cargo, including construction materials, machinery, vehicles, and even shipping containers. Their open design allows for easy loading and unloading from any direction, making them the preferred option for industries such as construction, manufacturing, and logistics.

Stability and safety

When transporting large and heavy objects, safety is most important. Flatbeds offer superior stability and security compared to other transportation options. With the absence of walls, the risk of cargo shifting during transit is significantly reduced. Additionally, flatbeds are designed in such a way that they can easily bind the load, ensuring it remains in place throughout the journey, even under challenging road conditions.

Efficiency in Loading and Unloading

Efficiency is crucial in any logistics service. Flatbeds excel in this aspect due to their easy and quick loading and unloading processes. Unlike enclosed trailers that require precise alignment, flatbeds allow for fast and hassle-free loading from various angles. This not only saves valuable time but also reduces the risk of damaging the cargo during the loading and unloading process.

Cost-Effective Solution

Flatbeds offer a cost-effective solution for transporting oversized cargo. Unlike specialized heavy-haul trailers, flatbeds are readily available and can be easily sourced from a variety of transportation providers. Their versatility also allows businesses to utilize their flatbeds for a wide range of transportation needs, reducing the need for multiple specialized trailers and further cutting costs.

Conclusion

Devise logistics play a crucial role in the transportation of oversized cargo. Whether it is construction materials, machinery, or shipping containers, the use of flatbeds provides the necessary reliability and flexibility to accomplish the task. If you want an oversized load to move, it is highly recommended that you consider the undeniable benefits of utilizing our service to fulfill your transportation needs. Our expertise in the field ensures efficient and safe delivery of your cargo, making us the ideal choice for your transportation requirements.

Aberration

[lets-steal-an-archive]

I doubt this'll get far enough to reach anyone who might have anything kicking around but yelling into the void has worked before (e.g. Supernatural, The X-Files, bonus X-Files):

Back in June 2024 TV Writing added a nice little set of 12 Xena: Warrior Princess scripts.

I made the four scripts Cousin Liz shared many years ago into pdfs and sent them to TV Writing, they were added in October 2024.

In December I stumbled on a new upload of the 2008 Photobucket images of "The God You Know" shared by LadyKate63 and made the draft where all of the page numbers were visible into a pdf. I sent that along with the first and last of season one to TV Writing:

Xena Warrior Princess 1x01 - Sins of the Past (READ NOW)

Xena Warrior Princess 1x24 - Is There a Doctor in the House (READ NOW)

Xena Warrior Princess 6x12 - The God You Know (READ NOW)

Finally, my question:

In celebration of the pilot first airing on 13 March 1995, is there anyone out there who still has any of the Creation Entertainment scripts from Xena: Warrior Princess kicking around that they'd be willing to email* to TV Writing, XenaGabrielle, and/or me?

Update 02/01/2025:

We're up to 35 Xena scripts, 2 Hercules (crossover episode) scripts, and 3 Xena outlines/beat sheets!

Outlines/Beat Sheets:

Xena: Warrior Princess 2x00 - The Last Days of Socrates (Unproduced)

Xena: Warrior Princess 4x07 - Locked Up and Tied Down (Outline)

Xena: Warrior Princess 6x11 - Dangerous Prey (Beat Sheet)

*If you send any you'd be willing to share directly to TV Writing he won't tell who donated what (e.g. less than a month after he added almost all of the remaining the latest drafts of the Supernatural collection, someone scanned and emailed Supernatural 6x01 and he hasn't shared who donated it to me, one of the original lunatics who started building that collection in 2019 and retired the project in 2024).

**The owner of XenaGabrielle will also change the contributor info to me, when I cold email fan collectors working on a public script collection I use the old project account.

I don't understand why anyone would pay full price for a flatbed truck rental when you can buy 'DETOUR' signs online for like $10.

I'm so angry that the organisers immediately let the next race go ahead while they were still clearing up the accident.

That race was mostly under SC because of the conditions. The race after was cancelled because of conditions and now the next race is going ahead again.

[vinyls-and-valentines]

Sooo tempted to add a migratory mirrage into the Zones that just shows you the most looney toons ass shit, like a chase scene between Korse and the Fab Killjoys, but Korse is riding a weird scarecrow human horseshoe crab and the killjoys are all wearing stuff like snowboards, ice skates, and skiis. Or folk music ensembles from various cultures riding in the back of flatbed trucks. Or Destroya eating handfulls of stars like pop rocks. The Phoenix Witch putting on a cabaret act (this one is particularly popular amongst Zone dwellers although there's only ever been 3 reported sightings at best)
