Originally I was exclusively a new who fan with vague knowledge of the classic series but recently have explored classic who more and become a big fan of it. Mostly because I feel it had more variety back then in terms of companions and doctor potraials. Plus I'm just a big fan of old films in general so seeing the older sets, special effects, and acting styles brings me nerd joy! That in no way means that I'm not still a major fan of current who. Though I do believe Moffat has made a mistep or two. What about you? Have you seen the recent episodes by any chance? (Also thanks for the fudge!)

Newbie saying hello by kjnitsch on 2014-09-07 18:35:00 UTC Reply

Hey Boarders! A friend of mine has been telling me about this site for a while now and on Friday I finally decided to check it out. Two days later I have become completely obsessed with it. I've been getting lost in the wiki pages and reading up on all the history and what not. I can't wait to get more involved and read up more on the agents. But I wanted to take the time to say hi and introduce myself. You can switch my name around anyway you want I'll respond to probably any variation of it. So yeah, I guess I"ll see you guys in the forums!

Have a trumpeting fish with urple scales! As long as you don't look at her directly, I don't think the color will drive you insane...

Wow, quite a few fandoms, I see? Is Pokemon perhaps one of them? It's one of mine.

Speaking of which, your newbie gift. As is my custom for new Boarders with many fandoms, have a Ditto! And not just any Ditto; like Ditty from Pokemon Adventures, it can transform into any shape it wishes, not just whatever is in front of it.

I've actually been eyeing the show and all for a while now. I know a lot of people into it so maybe this weekend I'll finally give it ago. Also that is a the niftiest gift I have ever seen. I will put it to good use thanks!

Happy Newbie day! by Sevenswans on 2014-09-08 02:37:00 UTC Reply

... Honestly, I just show up for goodfic posts and presents nowadays, but here you go:

Here is one endless skein of string, so that you can backtrack through plotholes and never get lost in the labyrinth of contradiction! Here also are fresh cornbread muffins! And last but not least, have some wilver paint!

Why thank you! by June Blue Night on 2014-09-08 03:00:00 UTC Reply

Understandable. People are busy, but at least you show up some of the time. That's good right? And thank you for the gifts I'm sure they'll all be quite useful in the near future!

(Also while we're on the subject do you have any good fix suggestions?)

I ment goodfics oh my guacamole what is up with me today!

Hello, hello! by eatpraylove on 2014-09-08 00:09:00 UTC Reply

Always nice to see a fresh face! (Metaphorically speaking, of course.) I share most of your fandoms, too! I love it when that happens! ^_^ Your newbie gifts are an iron ring to punch Sue-wraiths with, some packs of instant ramen (because reasons), and a Union Jack T-shirt.

Why hello! by June Blue Night on 2014-09-08 00:19:00 UTC Reply

Yes metaphoric faces are nice to look at. And yay!Its always great to find fans that share your particular fandom passions.I also absolutely love all three of those gifts. They go so well together!

I'm curious about the origin of the name "kjnitsch" by Thantosiet on 2014-09-07 20:05:00 UTC Reply

Hello! I just joined a few days ago myself. Once you've read around I'd love to hear which agents and missions are your favorites, and so on.

Still pretty new to gift-giving so I don't have any signature presents, but here's a deerstalker, a sonic screwdriver, a Mockingjay pin and a glider (Mechanist-style, so you don't need airbending to use it).

Now I'm curious... by June Blue Night on 2014-09-08 03:21:00 UTC Reply

Now you have me wondering. What's the story behind Thantosiet?

Wikia's Captcha Policy by Thantosiet on 2014-09-08 03:25:00 UTC Reply

Back when I was just an anon, whenever I wanted to add a photo to an article, I had to do a captcha thing to make sure I wasn't a robot. Surprisingly I got a lot of neat-sounding words instead of just random letters and numbers, and one of them was "Thantosiet."

Wow by June Blue Night on 2014-09-08 14:43:00 UTC Reply

Wow that's actually pretty cool! Very original, (and way better then the origin of my email by far)

Its actually my email by June Blue Night on 2014-09-07 20:11:00 UTC Reply

So yeah the name is from my email account on yahoo. It got plugged in by accident when I made an account on the Board. I'll be sure to post a working list of favorites once I read more missions. I appreciate the gifts, thanks a ton! They'll be put to good use.

Hello and welcome!

I give to you now a lined Infinite Notebook, complete with urple colours and wilver binding. Don't look at it straight on!

I have heard of these afamed Notebooks and will charish it (while wearing sunglasses of course). Thank you!

Sorry guys... by June Blue Night on 2014-09-07 18:52:00 UTC Reply

Sorry guys still trying to figure out how the board works. The name is June Blue Night. Not that other thing.
Welcome kjnitsch! by James Shields on 2014-09-07 18:51:00 UTC Reply

I too lurked quite a bit around the wiki before I joined a few days ago. I take you also The Original Series and the Constitution?

Also, what are your favorite fandoms? do you have any favorite PPC spin-off so far?

Have a Rorschach Book (Changes according to your current reading interests. Think of it as a book your mind writes automatically just for you!)

Its June Blue, but thanks! by June Blue Night on 2014-09-07 19:10:00 UTC Reply

Yes! I've only read part of the Original Series but I have managed to read the rather humorous constitution. I have a giant list of fandoms to be honest. Some include Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin, Supernatural, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Hunger Games, most Marvel and DC superheroes, Young Justice, and a few others I can't think of at the moment. I haven't read many missions yet to have a favorite so I'll have to get back to you on that one. And I'm not sure if I completely understand the term, but yes I think I do have a Roschach book of sorts. Probably several. And I have to ask is the Board a little slow when it loads for you? I have to wait several minutes every time I reload the page in anyway. But anyway what about you? What fandom's do you enjoy? What's you're favorite mission?

Hi, have some fudge!

Are you more of a Classic Who fan or New Who?

Mostly because I feel it had more variety back then in terms of companions and doctor potraials. Plus I'm just a big fan of old films in general so seeing the older sets, special effects, and acting styles brings me nerd joy! That in no way means that I'm not still a major fan of current who. Though I do believe Moffat has made a mistep or two. What about you? Have you seen the recent episodes by any chance? (Also thanks for the fudge!)

Re: Classic/New Who by Antigone68104 on 2014-09-09 13:32:00 UTC Reply

The only new episode I've seen is Eleven's "A Christmas Carol" -- BBC America is a pay-extra cable channel around here.

Some friends of mine have that channel, but I know better than to try watching with them. One of them isn't nearly as good at giving quick recaps as she thinks, and I'd never be able to follow the episode with her talking over it "explaining" who all the characters are.

Well then hi June Blue by James Shields on 2014-09-07 20:24:00 UTC Reply

That´s much easier to write.

I have a giant list of fandoms as well. I´m a fellow Potterhead, but I also mainly like Nanoha, Sakura, Sailor Moon, Mass Effect, Kana: Little Sister, Katawa Shoujo and Clannad.

A Rorschach Book is my made-up Newbie Gift. It is named after the Rorschach Test or Blot Ink Test, that thing in psychology were you look at a oddly shaped picture and what you see in it says something about your personality or psyche.

My favorite missions are those by Sergio Turbo, Corolla and Nikki Cherryflower and those by
Ari and Tera

Hello by June Blue Night on 2014-09-07 21:05:00 UTC Reply

It is isn't it. I've heard a lot about Salior Moon but haven't had the chance to look into it more. If you have any suggestions on where best to access it I'll give it a shot if I have some time. Oh goody now I have some good suggestions for missions to read. I tried checking out the list of agents but its so long and daunting this will hopefully be easier to tackle. And that Rorschach Book sounds awesome. I'm glad to now officially own one!

Well... I don't know about the old series but... by James Shields on 2014-09-08 01:34:00 UTC Reply

You can watch Sailor Moon Crystal, the new anime series just released this year, right here at Crunchyroll http://www.crunchyroll.com/sailor-moon-crystal.

You legally watch it for free there, you will just have to deal with some advertisements while you are at it. Depending on your region a service like Netflix may have the old series playing.

Thanks! by June Blue Night on 2014-09-08 02:48:00 UTC Reply

I'll look into it thanks! Hopefully Netflix has it.

Good luck! by James Shields on 2014-09-08 18:31:00 UTC Reply

I hope you find it. it's a great series!
