Welcome to the PPC! Have a baked potato with melted cheese on top. It's the kind of cheese with the texture of plastic, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. People call me Key, or sometimes Cat, and refer to me with the pronouns she/her/hers. Rampant nicknaming is okay. My questions for you are: How do you feel about nicknaming? Are there nicknames you hope to encourage or to avoid? What pronouns should we use when referring to you?

I couldn't help noticing that you're finding fics to spork and working on your Permission prompts already. It's great to see this enthusiasm, but I'd advise you to relax a bit. You can't even get Permission unless you've been an active member of the community for a while (around a month, I think it was?). So poke around, get to know us. The PPC is a big place; there's lots to see here. You said you were only part-way through TOS; that means you haven't even read about an exorcism, much less a WhatThe mission or multiverse theory. Of course, if you're more interested in the badfic than the PPC universe, that's okay. Just keep in mind that the universe exists and the agents' characters are important to PPC stories; this isn't MSTing. And because of this, rage often isn't the best mode to write PPC stories in; it's a levelheaded sort of sporking, because you have to write a good story around that bad one. (This is mostly a summary of things other people have said. I don't have Permission; I've only been here since March and I'm still getting to know the universe and style.)
