Hello, I am Midnight Starr. I'm a fanfiction writer of Pokemon, and MLP:FIM (Fluttershy is best pony.) I don't currently have any published work but I will need beta readers in the future. I'm exited to have joined the PPC community.
Well, I'm definitely not a newbie now. Just a lurker. Here, ignore my monologue and have a plate of cheeses.
Have a sewing machine to hide in.
So you'll always look cool without trying!
I'll give that right to my agent. Though that might override her SEP field though... Ya know what, I'll just think about it.
Have a shovel enchanted to dig up... um... I think this is one page of the Book of the Damned.
I'll just... be over there.
Agent/ Teams: Not familiar enough to choose
But departments I'm slightly more familiar with.
Favorites include:
Dept. of Bad Slash/ Het
Dept. of Mary Sues
Dept. of Technical Errors
Repetitive Dept. of Repetition
Mostly because those are pet peeves of mine.
As yer newbie gift, have this replica of the One Ring, that also works as TM25 Thunderbolt! You can also have this brand-new Net Ball and a sealed Safari Ball with a 0.001% chance of having a Chansey in it.
Just watch I open it and it's a Paras. *Opens it*
Iiiit's a Dratini!
Woo! not a Chansey but, woo!
*Gives Dratini the one ring, Dratini learned Thunderbolt!* I think I'll call you Sauron.
Well, aren't ya lucky? Those Safari Balls usually have a 99% of having Tauros in them!
(If you get the reference, you're awesome! If not... Well, you're still awesome.)
... A reference to how ash caught a billion Tauros in the anime? I'm runnin' on Game/Manga logic anyways.
As your prize, you can have this Ability Capsule that will give your Dratini its hidden Ability: Marvel Scale!
Thanks!
*Uses Ability Capsule on Dratini, Dratini now has Marvel Scale*
I don't care that it breaks game rules, it's just cool. We can just call that thing a Hidden Capsule!
Have a box of Jacob's Cream Crackers and some Wensleydale. Cheese, Gromit!
Also, what's your favourite Pokémon? Type? Gym leader? Generation? Side-game? :D I'm excited for more Pokémon buddies.
Welcome! Have an Apple of Discord
To be honest I have no idea what it does.
*Wheeze* Or that could be my ribs... Anyways thanks for Discord's favorite fruit. My guess is that the core is what you're supposed to eat, and the outer bit is full of cyanide.
Have one of my own shed feathers, and a Lyra plushie (now 100% free of any suspicious holes)! :D
You washed the plushie, right? Anyways thanks for the feather, my agent could craft it into a sword for slaying sues.
Hello, hello, and welcome to the PPC! I'm Ivy, unofficial and self-declared resident deductionist. It's good to meet you! Have some chocolate; on the right is some fancy imported type with ginger and cashews, and the left contains Bleeprin. Happy reading!
-Vee
... to see how many badfics you can read without using Bleeprin?
You'll need a large stack of soothing goodfic to make it out with any semblance of sanity. *worried glance* Are you planning on embarking on such a journey?
-Vee
... But I know a couple goodfics I could read, not mad stacks(z) though.
If you ever do plan to put your mind at risk, I will provide goodfic therapy.
-Vee
*high-fives* Have some popcorn to eat while you read the Original Series, a Focus Sash, and a jar of Zap Apple jam!
... apple jam? How did you know that was my favorite? *Squee* *Glomp* Ahh, my ribs still hurt from when I got glomped. Ow... Well I know it's my ribs now at least, as opposed to my boobs.
Have a seat by the fireplace. Don't worry, there's a below average chance it's a gateway to the elemental plane of fire.
For your gift, take this Replica Holocron. Useful for storing ancient knowledge of all sorts.
I look forward to seeing you around!
Have a random item as a welcoming gift! *rummages through closet* Have a pair of beaten-up sneakers and a cursed ring.
What does that do? You didn't nick the One Ring, right? The Flowers would be super ticked if you did, and if it's the Ring of Sairalindë, well let's just say I'm not impressed.
I don't really know what it does. Guess you just have to find out. ^^
I'll be careful...
Please accept this elegant and finely-crafted starter Pokémon:-
Iiiiiiit's Onix!
And your starting item is:-
Copper Ammolet from Enter The Gungeon!
The Ammolets are really interesting items, in that they boost the damage of multiple-target moves by 25% and grant them an additional effect, in this case a 30% chance to burn. However, Onix isn't necessarily the 'mon to use them on. While STAB Earthquake is nice for burn spreading, Onix's Attack is hot trash and its low Speed means it won't be able to spread many of them. Additionally, there's a limit to how useful burn spreading even is for a physically defensive 'mon like Onix. The best thing to do would probably wait for it to evolve, but if you're determined to use it, try a Jolly one with EVs in HP and Speed and the ability Sturdy. Then, you'll want to give it the moves Earthquake, Rock Slide, Stealth Rock, and Explosion in the last slot - not a lot of people realize that the Ammolets affect moves like Explosion and Selfdestruct. Most importantly though, have fun. =]
But in all seriousness that item seems to be a double edged sword. If it were a Toxic Ammolet, whatever that would be, THAT, would be an Uber item.
The closest is the Uranium Ammolet, which gives a chance to Poison rather than Badly Poison. There's also the Chaos Ammolet, which applies a 30% chance to Burn, Freeze, or Paralyze, and the Gold Ammolet, which doesn't apply a status effect but increases the damage boost to 50%. Now THAT is a powerful item, especially since you don't get the power drop from hitting multiple enemies in the Singles format. EarthSlide best slide. =]
I may fight you about best pony... RD all the way.
But besides that, welcome! Make yourself comfortable and have a slice of Infinite Pizza
It'll be good for missions, if ever I write one.
Have these black-hole chocolates, please. So, you presented us some of your fandoms, so only question left is how many PPC stories did you read until now? Enjoy your stay.
(P.S.: By vertue of utterly destroying a giant robot, Rainbow Dash is the best pony. Better patch up the way you write her name.)
Basically none. I'm reading the original series now. in fact I found the PPC wiki through TV Tropes. Specifically I found it through the Citrus Scale. (And then I found C*l*br**n) Good thing Bleeprin isn't necessary to read the plot summary, or at least I didn't need it... I think...
Tonight has hit me in the feels, but I can still offer something: a lullaby I learned at the same time.
Once in a time, there lived a boy, together with mother and father.
The dad beamed with joy, the mom wept with woe, for she wanted a daughter.
The son loved them both with all his heart, for he didn't know any other.
Yet you should not fret, my darling child, you should neither mourn nor cry.
The dad was sweet cane, the mom gingerbread, the son a marzipan pie.
Or, at least that last two lines! It's almost the same as an old lullaby we have here in Poland. In rough translation, with no rhymes it goes like this:
There was a king, there was a page, and there was a princess.
Among roses they lived, they knew no storms,
of that you can be certain.
She was loved by the king, she was loved by the page,
this little charming lady.
And she did, too. She loved them both,
they lived in love together.
Alas, a sad day, a cruel twist of fate,
happened to all three of them.
A dog ate the king, a cat ate the page,
princess got eaten by a mouse.
Yet you should not fret, my darling child,
you should neither mourn nor cry.
The king was sweet cane, the page gingerbread,
the princess a marzipan pie.
... I had an easier time following that lullaby than the other one.
I believe that it he version I saw was translated and rewritten to fit the context that I heard it in. I omitted a few lines, because things got really messed up, and it was heartbreaking to watch the slideshow that came with it.
But if you want to see it in the way I did....
WARNING: TIME PARADOXES, SPOILERS AHEAD.

Starts at 7:00.
My eyes have crossed like Derpy's in an attempt to understand that thing...
...I am a girl, and a Canadian. I'm a native English speaker so feel free to mock my muck ups. I also have interest in creating original works like art, writing, and video garmes (not to mention I'm a Jim Mother******' Sterling SON[!] fan)
*Spaceballs puns intensify*
Hullo there, new person! Have a cup of soothing mint infusion. And the accompanying Nug, of course.
Good day, Midnight Starr.
Always good to have more people. The more the merrier, and such.
Suppose I ought to give you a fake gift you can't use in real life, then.
I give you: One of those plastic grabber claws!
They look real bloody cool, don't they? Think you can grab from miles away, don't you?
Nope.
It'll break within two uses, so use them wisely.
Well... I could use it to grab an escaping sue... I mean the fictional Agent version of me that has never been in a mission. anyways thanks!
Make sure you check out the constitution if you haven't done already, as well as our FAQs available on the wiki. All of these things are linked up in our header there.
If you've got any other questions or just want a chat, feel free to hit me up on my email up there; it might take a wee bit because currently I'm on a ship, but I do try to reply promptly.

...to spell "Princess Luna".
Jokes aside, welcome to the Board! Have some hydrophobic water to commemorate the occasion. It's a part of any complete breakfast.
So, a fellow Pokémon trainer, eh? Firstly, allow me to direct you to the ongoing PPC Pokémon Tournament's thread. You can find the Google doc with all of the matches and the bracket so far in there. Secondly, what's your favourite starter? I'm partial to Piplup myself-- Empoleon is a hella cool 'mon, isn't it?
But I'm more of a Treecko kind of guy. Unfortunately I haven't used an Empoleon in a while. so let me ask you what your favorite legendary is, mine is the Renegade Pokemon Giratina. Anyways thanks for the Cthulhu saliva, I'll be sure to sear my shoggoth in it.
Shaymin because... well... look at it. Seriously. It's a tiny, happy, squeaky grass hedgehog. With flowers. And it goes "peep!" And it's adorable. So very adorable. And huggable. And-- well, you get the picture.
And I suppose Reshiram is cool too, but that's double-dipping, isn't it?
Honestly Shaymin looks like a Chia Pet hedgie. If I were to choose a favorite Mythical Pokemon (which Shaymin is one) I would choose either Jirachi, or Celebi.
... Oops.
Nobody's gonna jump down your throat for a lone typo.
*passes a plate of fresh SPaGhetti and vanishes*
Quick question, do you prefer chocolate or coffee?
...Dark Chocolate...
I can eat 90% cocoa dark chocolate with no restraints! And gummy bears, but that's not important right now :D
I've got pure cocoa chocolate. Now we're talking about real deal.
I hope you enjoy your black-hole chocolates then. The question was however aimed at your Anonymous greeter. Other people here will get gifts someday. Fat chance of taking the bait, but I had to try.
Oops... Thanks for the reality warpingly small chocolate anyways...
You have the right of answering the question too after all.
I'm sure you'll appreciate them. They're so black they suck up light.
