Has anyone heard of Mervin and Hyde?

Hm... by JulyFlame on 2014-10-18 23:05:00 UTC Reply

Definitely don't recall them on the board in 2008 or that being posted to the board then; this is the first time I've read this mission and I read everything back then.

Of course, it may have slipped through in some manner, but I suspect Nesh will have the same recollection as I do.

Yeah, I don't remember them. by Neshomeh on 2014-10-21 16:16:00 UTC Reply

Have to say, though, I found the story very amusing. If it weren't labeled as a PPC mission, I'd have absolutely no problem with it. I mean... dangling Snape from the ceiling as bait and letting all the most horrible Sues destroy each other... {X D Kinda reminds me of the Sparklypoo comic.

These missions (there's 1 more) may have been posted earlier by DawnFire on 2014-10-19 22:01:00 UTC Reply

There's a note at the beginning that says 'originally posted on the STFU'. Eris Discordia was posted in November 2007; Threshold was probably earlier, unless I missed it (I'm going through the archive).

I do remember wanting to read these missions (after seeing the link from Miss Cam's site), though; reading them now is resulting in excitement, recognition of in-jokes from their sporking community (das_sporking on LJ), and...yeah, it's not entirely the PPC as we know it, but it's definitely historic?

Eh, I'm happy to have the chance to read them, anyway.

I'd heard of them, but not in connection with the PPC. by Ekyl on 2014-10-18 10:16:00 UTC Reply

PGs, do any of you remember either of these fellows (fellowesses?) applying and getting Permission? Because like PC points out, this is very much not the way we do things...

They were listed by Miss Cam between February and December 2005, according to the Wayback Machine. Miss Cam was one of the original three Permission Givers; being listed by her is, pretty much, acknowledgement that they have Permission. The fact that we don't like what they did with it is pretty much irrelevant to that question. ;)

Fair enough. by PoorCynic on 2014-10-20 07:49:00 UTC Reply

I can live with that. I'd just never heard of them before now and wanted to make sure that they had been recognized in some capacity.

Ah, good catch. by PoorCynic on 2014-10-20 07:48:00 UTC Reply

I missed that. Guess I'm not as well acquainted with the history of the PPC as I probably should be. Thanks for pointing that out.

I've heard of Das Mervin and Mrs. Hyde. by Iximaz on 2014-10-17 01:52:00 UTC Reply

I think they're- or at least, Mervin is- best known for their/her Twilight sporkings. I've never actually come across them as agents of the PPC, though I have read the Rose Potter sporkings and unless I'm misremembering, there had been several mentions of the PPC throughout.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely familiar! by Iximaz on 2014-10-19 22:15:00 UTC Reply

I spent last Christmas Break binge-reading the Twilight Sprorkings and greatly enjoyed The Wedding Crashers. It's actually thanks to the sporkings that I can follow along with my friends' conversations about Supernatural>.

I'm also a big fan, though I've yet to start 50 Shades because that series scares the crap outta me.
