My first one would be some sort of roleplay- I really love those. Second would probably be a mission in the RWBY continuum, since it's overrun with uncontrolled badfic.
Third would probably be a recommendation of f/f goodslash. It's easy to find m/m slash, and some of it is even pretty good, but f/f is rarer and, given the badfic to goodfic ratio, the good stuff is therefore harder to find. :/
Would anyone be willing to beta the things I wrote for Permission? I'd need email addresses, since otherwise I can't contact specific people.
You may want to be familiar with Monster Musume before reading, as one of my agents is from that continuum.
I do think you're trying to make the effort to fit in and learn the ropes around here, so thank you for doing that. But... you're still making the same mistakes.
-You've already posted a request for a beta. eatpraylove and SkarmorySilver replied. There was no need to make a new thread to ask again.
--Specifically, you've had quite a few people point out that making new threads pushes old ones off. With that in mind, making a new thread as a repeat of an old one could be characterised as... shall we go with 'thoughtless'? It's the same as making multiple badfic threads (which you have not done, just so's you don't think I'm accusing you); we're all capable of scrolling down, so don't repeat yourself while a previous thread saying is still up. And if a thread drops off without getting the replies you want - let it go. People saw it, they just didn't have anything to say.
---And yeah, that can hurt. I've had three recent things I really wanted to see people reply to, but... no-one was interested, and so I let them drift away.
-Neshomeh said on the 14th 'Four days ago, you said you don't expect Permission yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I sorta figured that by "yet" you meant "at least in the near to mid future," since you mentioned you wanted to take time to learn more about writing.'. You, uh, are still doing that, right here. You said on your returning thread that 'I've been gone for so long, I'd need to restart the "get to know everyone" process anyway'. Ten days really isn't enough time to do that.
Sit back. Comment on threads that you didn't start. Don't try to drag things out of the Board - accept what it gives you. Because honestly, we're giving out insanity, frivolity, and good times with both hands here - you just need to join in. Don't spend your time sitting on the sidelines waiting to start your next thread.

... so as not to let you reply to this part and forget about the rest; we all do it, but my first post here was more important than this one. If you haven't already, Voyd, please go back and read it, understand it, and reply.
That said... Voyd, what are you looking for on the Board? I don't mean 'Permission', we know that. But when you come onto the PPC Board, what kind of interaction with your fellow PPCers are you after? To put a more concrete frame to this question: if you could come here one day and see three perfect, ideal threads, what would those threads be?
Actually, that's a question for everyone. I think for my part, one would definitely be a mission plug - a good, old-fashioned mission, probably in LotR, which I can read and enjoy reading.
My second thread would be an in-depth, geeky fandom discussion. Again, I'd want it to be LotR, because that's my fandom, but I'd go for others as well. Something that everyone can get their teeth into.
And third... some sort of writing challenge. Fill the Plotholes, the Badfic/Shipfest/Plort games, PoorCynic's workshops, my Monthlyish Challenge, or a genuine old-style fanfic writing challenge. I'd love to see the PPC Board in full writing force.
So what about you, O my co-lunatics? What would you go wild about, if you woke up one morning and found it here on the Board?

First off, new missions. I feel a bit awkward typing this, since I myself have not had a mission out in six months and it was six months before that.
I would especially like to see a co-write. Or just something with cameos from other Agents. I know that this is something a lot of people would like to see more of and yet it doesn't happen a lot. Maybe we could think out some way to make it easier to interact. *archives thought for further reference*
Secondly, a recommendation-thread for good fanworks. This could be a goodfic thread but it could also be about fanart and we had one about fanmusic a while back.
Thirdly, just general silliness and geekiness and goofing around. Like me, posting a picture of my fosterkittens, Frerin, Thorin and Dis. 
And World-Jumper and I have been kinda sorta working on our mission. Okay, maybe not. We've gotten our agents into the badfic and that's it so far.
doctorlit and I are in the middle of editing an interlude though, so yay?
Yay to co-writes!
Also, I have to say, I'm really, really sorry that I never got back to you about betaing your last mission. I'm usually not such a flake but I completely forgot about checking that email. I really have no excuses to give, I'm just sorry about it.
Besides, you saw what I acidentally did to Storme Hawk, didn't you? :P
I'm already working on my next mission, so when that's done maybe I could send you the link?
My first one would be some sort of roleplay- I really love those. Second would probably be a mission in the RWBY continuum, since it's overrun with uncontrolled badfic.

If Neshomeh posted another Nume/Ilraen mission I'd flip. Wait, is that too specific? ^_^
Really, any and all missions are great! I love getting to read new stuff, but it seems like there just aren't that many these days. Then again I'm really impatient, so it's probably just me. (By the way, hS, I loved Wednesdays because I knew you would be posing a new Driftwood mission.
Fandom discussions are also great. I just didn't participate much in the Star Wars one much because while I've seen the movies multiple times, I don't know half the technical stuff I'd need to know in order to really participate.
(That's a blushing face, right? I didn't just make that up?)
Alas, I've been in a dry spell as far as writing goes. I DO have things in the works, it's just been like pulling teeth trying to write lately thanks to various factors, some internal, some external. Unfortunately, a Nume and Ilraen mission is not one of them, but would you settle for some backstory, a very much non-canon AU that I started during the badfic game, and/or or a Derik and Gall mission? I've got those things in various states of (in)completion. Maybe, maybe, once the holidays are over, I'll be able to make some progress again.
~Neshomeh
Fandom discussion sounds good. I love being able to go on about the things I like. Mission plugs are nice too.
Writing challenges... hmm. I enjoyed the Holiday Filk thing, but I don't know what else I'd do there.
I would like to write or co-write an MST at some point, though. I wish there was a master list of PPC MSTs somewhere.
I have posted on other threads, at least.
*shoves aside the Permission stuff*
