Hmmm... where should I begin?
Well, I've read the Constitution, and find it fun to check for updates on the wiki. I've known about Mary Sues and Gary Stus for over a year, and I don't want to create any myself (parody Sues are an exception, but only if done right). I haven't written any fanfiction, but I hope my decent English and my knowledge of the PPC makes up for it.
I'd love to help with the missions, but I'd feel it would be a bit easier and more fun to do it with someone else. If you have any more questions (like fandoms and... other things) feel free to ask me. -

Hola!
(And welcome a-Board!)
*Badum-Tish!*
Pleased to make your acquaintance Kaite.
(Wow. Kaite. A normal name. That's not a bad thing, don't get me wrong, I'm actualy quite pleased to see a normal name. It's just, I never thought I would miss run-of-the-mill names. Anyhow, my name is John Johnson.)
...I thought it was Jumper?
(It is. On the board. Outside however, when I am on a regular planet, like to use John.)
Well, yes, but I always thought that was your quick, say-somthing-quick name. I always thought your real name was-
(We are waisting this poor girls time with our chatter.)
Oh, yes. Sorry about that.
So, you seem to have done the required reading, including missions, which is always good. Any favorites? Plus, while on questions, I must ask you... other things?
(Now, I beleve, is gifting time. Since you are a Nintendo fan, I shall give you one fire flower! Not as famous as the mushrooms, but when facing a particularly aggressive Sue, it becomes a wonderful asset.)
Glad to see new faces around here, and I hope to see more of you in the future. Till then, see you.

Goodbye.

Oh, and just in case it was not clear, I want to explain the whole Jumper talking in parentheses thing. Jumper is my OC. I find that I work best when I have someone to bounce off of, even if he is a fictional multiverce-traveling piece of my imagination, so I separate his lines with parentheses so people don't become confused.
(Hey, Worldie, I got a season two Friendship is Magic marathon going on now, wanna- Oh, hey, the newbie got herself an OC. Hello there! What's you're name?)
Jumper, that's not her OC.
(Then who is she?)
Currently a figment of your imagination brought on by Katie here. I think.
(Oh, my mistake. Man, that was weird. She just looked so... real. Yet not. Like a mirage. Anyway, you coming Worldie?)
My name is not Worldie, and yes, I'm coming. You got popcorn?

I do have a question or two or you:
-What are your fandoms?
-Have you read any PPC missions yet?
Also, don't worry about not writing any fanfiction - if you do or don't, it's up to you and does not make you a good or bad person. (Also, if you feel safer doing missions with a helper or several, you don't have to ask for Permission to co-write with someone who already has Permission.) -

I'll try to answer these the best I can:
1. I'm involved in various fandoms, both popular and obscure.
My main fandoms are video game fandoms, and may fluctuate depending how interested I am in them at the time. I guess I like just about anything Nintendo or SEGA related, Dragon Quest, Shadow Hearts, and The World Ends With You. It's kind of hard to list them all.
2. I have read (and stil like to read, mind you) quite a few PPC missions. They are quite entertaining to read.
I'll save these bleepnerds for any upcoming missions.
Thanks! -

Funny thing is, I associated myself with the number 20 before MLP: FIM.
For my favorite pony, it's hard to decide between Fluttershy (She's so adorable!), Pinkie Pie (Who does't like a crazy, bubbly pony?), and Twilight Sparkle (She's nerdy and can be awkward, someone I can associate with).
I loved all the 2-parter episodes, especially "Return of Harmony". It was full of emotion, and although things looked grim, good eventually prevailed in the end. -

Best villan: Discord. Was there any doubt? In my opinion, he is not only the best MLP villain, he is one of the better villains I have seen in a long time.
Villan that got the short end of the stick: Ahuizotl. What, don't remember him? He's the villain from Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone. You did not even remember his name. You all remember Sombra, right? So there you go.
Actually, I liked Sombra. Or, at least, I like my head-canon version of Sombra. A unicorn, not an Alicorn, who is the ultimate dark magician in the world. He cannot be killed, have his mortal form disintegrate until he is nothing but shadow. Essentially, he is the closest My Little Pony will ever get to a Lich. Unless Grogar comes back. But that's G1, not G4. -
Mostly agree with Jumper. by

Discord was definitely my favorite villain. Not only is he essentially insane and wacky (two traits I like), but he was so close to defeating the "Mane Six" by corrupting every one of them. If Celestia didn't send back all those friendship reports, Discord would have won.
Don't remember Ahuizotl. When I think "Ahuizotl", I think of the sea dragon creature that changes territories to blue from "Culdcept".
(Psst. Jumper, you created a mini-boarder...) -
Fun fact about Discord... by

Reply
I don't know much about My Little Pony, but I do know that Discord's voice actor (John DeLancie) played a very similar character in Star Trek named Q, who is also one of the best villains--if you can call him that. I always thought of him as a trickster rather than a true villain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q(StarTrek)

I've heard of that. by
on 2013-01-12 21:06:00 UTC

I've never seen Star Trek (I feel weird admitting it), but I heard Lauren Faust was actually inspired by Q to make Discord. She was very exited when she got John DeLancie to voice him.
Well, Discord is the embodiment of chaos. A lot of his work may just be natural for him. -

We should get into each other's fandoms. There are five Star Trek series, and I recommend starting at the beginning with Star Trek: The Original Series and then moving into Star Trek: The Next Generation, which is the one where Q appears the most. Meanwhile, I'll go hunt down episodes of My Little Pony on YouTube.

It was only Tolkienverse misspellings. I mean, it doesn't make sense that Sauron or Morgoth should be able to affect the spelling in, say, sci-fi continua where Dark Lords of the magical kind are impossible.

I also remember he was a villain in the Daring Do series Rainbow Dash gets hooked on after she messes up one of her wings. I don't think he ever stood a chance for better characterization, considering his status as 'fictional in a fictional canon'. :D

The first three games were this. Where you build your bace, to build up your armies, to kill the Alliance/Horde/Scourge/Night Elves/Burning Legion, to win the game. Then you finally collect just enough resources to build that last house so you can build your army, when suddenly ZOMG, ZOMBEH RUSH!!1! Then your base is destroyed, and the Scourge laughs at you, or the other player types out LOL ALL YUR BASE ARE BELONG 2 US BEYCH!1! KEKEKEKE GG!! and you ask yourself, why do you like this game?
