Hey, everyone! I learned about the PPC through TV Tropes, and figured I'd sign up.

My gift to you is a tree. A baby tree. Go plant it somewhere.
I know it's incredibly rude to hijack a newbie's introduction post...but the topic has to do with newbie introduction, and I doubt it needs its own thread. What happened to the Big Sib/Little Sib program? I found it on the wiki and it seems like a good idea, so why did it die out?
--Key is up for adoption by House Darjeeling, House Kind Words and a Two-by-Four, or House Skull Goblet, if we decide to make this a thing again. -

Least, not in theory. A few houses don't have Big Sibs, the system doesn't get much attention, that sort of stuff.
Which, er, might just mean that it's dead, actually.
I tried joining one and that sort of poofed into nothingness, at least. Perhaps my natural charisma just scared everyone off.
Er. Speaking of sibs.
Anyone open in Grave Energy, Two-by-Four, or Skull Goblet? Skoblet? Assuming it's all still working? -

Come on in, have a seat by the fireplace, I promise the dragon egg isn't due to hatch for another few weeks.
Leastaways that's what the handbook says.
Anyway, take this Replica Holocron as a newbie gift. As I see you enjoy the Elder Scrolls, I've taken the liberty of storing a map of Tamriel on it.
And on the subject of fandoms, might I ask what Hogwarts House you're in? And, while I'm at it, what's your favorite Elder Scrolls game and/race? -

As a matter of Hogwarts Houses, I would probably be Hufflepuff because I don't really fit the mold for the other Houses. If I were a more ideal version of myself, I'd be a Ravenclaw.
My favorite ES game is certainly Skyrim, with favorite race being Argonian because of the racial powers and roleplay potential. -
Well, I'm always happy to see another Hufflepuff, by
on 2016-06-16 00:41:00 UTC

But if you think a more ideal version of yourself would be a Ravenclaw, then a Ravenclaw you are. In my personal opinion you should never choose your house because you don't fit anywhere else
Very nice. I tend to lean more towards Oblivion and Khajiit, but Skyrim is very fun (especially with mods) and Argonians are great. -

Please have this pot of black-hole coffee. We could almost add a badge 'I'm a troper' too, given the number of people coming from there. ;)
Now, I see you answered all the essential questions, so you have got only one thing left to do. Read the Dresden Files. Oh, and Butcher's other series too. They're all awesome. -

I'm not the newest anymore! Here, let's see... Ah ha! For your newbie gift, take this Royal Ice Cream Container. Simply speak the flavor of ice cream you desire, and it shall appear. You can literally ask for any flavor, though I won't guarantee that they'll all be to your liking. Don't worry about it getting messed up, this thing can survive giant explosions.
So, if you've read the Original Series and the Constitution, have you read any of the other agents? If so, which ones? -

Uh-oh. Shouldn't have immediately thought of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans for the first ice cream request.
I've only read one other agent because I was... foolish. Let's just say it was a Legendary Badfic done primarily by Trojie. The only reason I'm still sane is that I only read the sporking and wasn't a fan of the source material.
No, I'm not big on the whole "self-preservation of sanity" thing. Why do you ask? XD -

Oh, dear. You're talking about the Land Before Time one, aren't you? I haven't read that one. Those movies are my childhood, and I'd rather not ruin them.
You'd better not read Rina and Zeb then, because... Well, let's just say that they deal with a pair of particularly infamous butcheries of Harry Potter.
And I don't think anybody here is, especially those who write missions. Especially, especially the ones who do Legendary Badfics. Especially, especially, especially the ones who do multiple Legendary Badfics. Especially them. (Making words meaningless is fun, isn't it?) -

Are you treating it primarily as Harry Potter badfic, My Chemical Romance badfic, or just as an amazingly muddled crossover?
Because I know way too much about MCR and other bands referenced in the fic and would like to feel as if that knowledge was something other than wasted brainspace, if you need a beta who knows about these things.

MCR and Good Charlotte and the like only feature as backdrop, not prominently enough to be even supporting characters.

I'll cover your spot in garbage! *Snaps fingers. Suddenly, dozens of buckets of ice cream appear and empty their contents upon the spot, then drop on top of the spot.* Ha ha!
Well, I don't want to agree, but I'll go ahead and say Rose Potter, Little Miss Mary, and My Immortal.
Anyways, I think we're hijacking, and that's a horrible thing to do to a newbie. -

Taking those three into account, that's still only 1/21 of my missions. And take out My Immortal because it's not been written yet, that's 1/31 of my stuff.
...though if you count Rose Potter as six different missions (which I do because they're long), that's still only 1/9th! I do other stories people remember! Right?
...right?

And yeah, we probably are. I'll just leave it there, then. -

If you haven't yet read them, may I point you towards the Original Series and the Constitution? They're pretty much the only required reading around these parts. Another useful resource you might use is-

Hey, thanks! I definitely read the Original Series before deciding to join, and read the Constitution, too. The Wiki has been quite helpful with the quirkier pieces of story.
In terms of fandoms, I like The Elder Scrolls, Harry Potter (of course), and the Symphony of Ages books. Been meaning to get into the Dresdenverse, too, but haven't gotten there yet! -
