Welcome back! *tosses Spikes* (nm)

...*awkward wave from the Abyss* by KittyEden on 2016-05-21 09:23:00 UTC Reply

So, um.
Let's just say that I took a wrong turn trying to get back from our last Ill-Advised Camping Trip O' Doom, and it took me, what, nearly a year to make it to a computer?
*heavy sweating*
Anyway, hello again! It's... uh, been a while, hasn't it? I'm not too sure how long I'll stick around, but I'll definitely try to visit the PPC more often!
I've been up to a lot of stuff during my absence, including a heck of a lot of writing (I'm getting some of my fanfic published in an anthology in a couple of weeks!) and... more writing, I guess? I've joined a few fandoms, cried over fictional characters... nothing especially interesting.

What about you guys? TELL ME EVERYTHING, I WISH TO CATCH UP ON WHAT I HAVE MISSED OUT

Welcome back! It sounds like other people have filled you in, so I won't bother. Suffice to say, it's been an interesting year or so.

Since everyone covered the big stuff, I'll just give you this fresh plate of SPaGhetti. :)

And congrats on the anthology! That's seriously awesome.

EXCELLENT, HUMAN! I THANK YOU FOR THIS EXTRAVAGANT GIFT OF SPaGhetti FOR THE GREAT KITTY EDEN!!!

No-one mentioned the most important thing: by Huinesoron on 2016-05-23 09:13:00 UTC Reply

We went to Pluto!

Which I think means it's about time for another Ill-Advised Camping Trip, don't you? >:D

You'll be glad to know the two previous trips are archived for all eternity now, too.

(Also, welcome back! Also also, you don't have to, don't worry.)

Heck yeah it is! by KittyEden on 2016-05-25 00:05:00 UTC Reply

I'm going to do the thing.
We're going to do the thing.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're heading on another camping trip. I have no idea when it's happening, but it's going to happen.

Godspeed. (nm) by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2016-05-25 03:48:00 UTC Reply

Bloody hell! by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2016-05-24 06:54:00 UTC Reply

I remember that, now!
I'm not sure how I forgot.
I did die, after all.

Next time you need a camping buddy. by JulyFlame on 2016-05-22 20:03:00 UTC Reply

Well besides what was mentioned there were also PPC Hunger Games going on, I released a PPC story set on a ship, and the first part of Agony in Pink is also up for that matter.

Definitely try to stick around!

We also have a Minecraft realm now, if you're into that. We cried a lot over several people dying, had a pokemon tournament, had two annual PPC hunger games, hS made a Dungeon Crawler, Badges and did something called Operation Oscilloscope. I also probably did something stupid that I can't remember. Other than that, nothing that you need to know.

Fun times for all, it sounds like. by KittyEden on 2016-05-24 23:55:00 UTC Reply

Operation Oscilloscope? o-O What's that?

hS tried to bring up the post count of The Board. (nm) by DCCCV on 2016-05-25 00:11:00 UTC Reply

It didn't really work, did it? :-/ (nm) by Huinesoron on 2016-05-25 08:09:00 UTC Reply

Well, it did a little bit. by Iximaz on 2016-05-25 08:13:00 UTC Reply

I know you had me going nuts over what each of the badges could have meant, at least.

Oh, yeah, the driving-people-crazy part worked. by Huinesoron on 2016-05-25 08:18:00 UTC Reply

That bit was fun. ^_^

But the increasing-posting part didn't really stick around, I don't think. Though I haven't checked the stats recently, I guess.

Doesn't seem to have done. by Scapegrace on 2016-05-25 10:18:00 UTC Reply

Of course, I'm as much at fault for this as anyone else; I lurk here all the damn time, and I could be reading and reviewing more missions than I am. I just... don't. Plus, I don't tend to make threads because I can't figure out really what to say in them that will inspire discussion. So that's fun.

I'm a productive member of this community, honest...

That bloke is a mad scientist. by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2016-05-25 07:45:00 UTC Reply

The best kind of scientist.

Welcome back! by eatpraylove on 2016-05-21 17:25:00 UTC Reply

Congrats on the anthology! As for what you missed; the PPC Pokemon Tournament, a handful of newbies and people getting Permission, Blank Sprite chapter 5, the Boarder formerly known as Data Junkie reintroduced herself as Delta Juliette, JulyFlame started work on "Agony In Pink," a whole big mess involving a ban and Iximaz leaving for a little bit, a Karaoke Night RP over on T-Board (still open), the Purim RP...and two new missions on my end, one of which ended on a non-violent note.

Small correction: Delta Juliette is Techno-Dann, I think. (nm) by palindromordnilap on 2016-05-22 18:28:00 UTC Reply

Ack, you're right. Sorry! (nm) by eatpraylove on 2016-05-22 18:29:00 UTC Reply

I'll definitely have to check out those! :) (nm) by KittyEden on 2016-05-22 01:12:00 UTC Reply

Hello! Welcome back! by doctorlit on 2016-05-21 14:02:00 UTC Reply

Congrats on the anthology deal! Please, you must drop me a link once it's available! I'm dead set on reading everything PPCers get published.

—doctorlit is super excited for you, yo!

Well... by KittyEden on 2016-05-22 01:10:00 UTC Reply

The last week of sales is just beginning, over at their website. o-O *shameless product placement*

It's a whaaaa'? by Huinesoron on 2016-05-23 09:13:00 UTC Reply

How, uh. That looks really interesting, but how is it... y'know... legal?

Well, by KittyEden on 2016-05-24 23:58:00 UTC Reply

it's being done for charity, and no profit's being made from it. I can think of quite a few other Doctor Who anthologies that have been done like this (Chicks Dig Time Lords, Companion Piece, The Science of Doctor Who). The BBC doesn't seem to be too fussed about this sort of thing, really...

Hooh, what have you missed. by Larfen J. Stocke, esq on 2016-05-21 11:08:00 UTC Reply

It's been a wild, wild ride.
Someone trolled us, got their posts deleted endlessly, and quit after less than three days.
I don't know whether we, as a community, ought to feel good that the problem disappeared so quickly, or insulted that it was such amateur work.
I'd tell you EVERYTHING TO HELP YOU CATCH UP, but I haven't reached omnipotence quite yet, so, sorry.

What I can do is give you an imaginary gift that will leave no bearing on reality at all whatsoever!
Here, have a towel, for all that heavy sweating.
Don't go losing it, now.
Think of all the sweat hiding inside of you, just waiting to pop right out.
But you'll be prepared.
Welcome back!

I think I've stopped sweating now, but thanks for the towel nonetheless. :D

Stuff happened! by Desdendelle on 2016-05-21 09:39:00 UTC Reply

As it were, I'm terrible with recaps, so somebody else will have to do that. But welcome back! Have this cup of monks' tea as a welcome-back gift.

Mm, tea. by KittyEden on 2016-05-22 01:12:00 UTC Reply
