This action should not be construed as making any judgment, moral or constitutional, on Hardric's actions, either positive or negative. It was enacted purely to prevent the thread from being derailed and being made uncomfortable to look at.
I distinctly remember it happening sometime around March.
Ship me all you like, with whoever or whatever you want. I mean, I got shipped with an actual ion last year, so... well. Weird shippery is fine. I'm female IRL, but I am totally okay with genderflippery and such.
This is my ship, there are many like it, but this one is mine.
Darkotas/Desdendelle because they have the Ds
My body and will are yours to defile. Enjoy!
This message and all replies has been wiped by the Nameless Admin Committee for the Prevention of Cruelty to Shipfests.
I'll stay away from the event after... that. I'm still okay with being shipped with anything though.
This action should not be construed as making any judgment, moral or constitutional, on Hardric's actions, either positive or negative. It was enacted purely to prevent the thread from being derailed and being made uncomfortable to look at.
Because Nameless Admin/the Board (as in the software). We all know that sometimes, the Board needs a little maintenance...
I think the answer must be 'yes, unless he/she/it/they objects'. :D
In which case, naturally, Nameless Admin/Tomash. Board Admin/T-Board Admin. "Administration is a lonely affair..."
hS
Let's list our ships!
This is not the thread for writing stories. That'll be a little later. This is a thread of pure madness wherein we list the pairings (and more-ings) we ship in the PPC community. And then the list will be used to kick-start the main Shipfest, because it's actually made things dramatically more fun for the last two years. (Weird, right? I do something and it works?)
Da Rules:
-List your PPC Community ships - people in the PPC community (not organisation) that you totally think are/should be together.
-Give reasons for your ships. Otherwise it's just a random name generator.
-Revenge shipping is perfectly okay!
-Shipping someone with yourself - if you're not actually in a relationship - is a bit creepy; please don't do it.
-No stories. This is just a list. Stories is a later thread. (If you want to say whether you're willing to have stories written about you, go ahead; people can get a head-start on the writing-but-not-posting that way.)
-Have fun! It's a ludicrous exercise in ridiculousness, after all.
If you have a vehement objection to being even mentioned in a ship name, speak up, and people won't do it; it's as simple as that. And again - when the main Shipfest thread comes round, no-one will write stories with you in them unless you specifically give consent.
So... let the shipping commence!
hS
(I'll give my ships in a reply, so as not to clutter things up here.)
When's the actual shipfest supposed to happen?
Male, 30, bearded, devastatingly-handsome ;-)
Elcalion/Huinesoron/Phobos, what with you all being 30 years old.
We can also go Elcalion/Phobos, the beardship.
I ship Badger421/the Board (I obtained his consent in a different thread). He watched it for so long, never quite brave enough to say anything, until one day he screwed up his courage and introduced himself. . . and was accepted enthusiastically. Fluff ensues.
I'm not sure how I'm going to personify the Board yet, but I've got some time, right?
I am she, and shippable with anyone you like!
And my ships are...
Iximaz/desdendelle - well, it's canon, after all!
Tea/desdendelle - Also canon.
hs/Elven languages
[EvilAI]UBEROverlord/Cat-on-the-Keyboard/Data - computer-involved usernames.
I am female, but genderbending's okay. I don't feel like I know any of you well enough to come up with ships, but if you write something about me, I'll knock myself out with stalking research, and retaliate.
;)
-July, who cannot resist today.
I am a he, as I am told this is unclear, shippable with all manner of people and pottery.
Can't have pottery without fire. Even a DawnFire will do.
The more the merrier!
Roses are red...
Now, take something like Catullus' poetry, on the other hand...
Yes you can use me in whatever abomination you want
But since three of you lot have already included me in your pairings, I may as well make it official. Feel free to ship me with whomever you can justify, but please keep it safe for work.
I said I was okay being shipped earlier.
Don't you worry.
Well, maybe you should worry.
-July, ominous
Or have I got you curious what it could possibly be?
-July, who won't tell
I'm cool with whatever you decide to throw at me. :P
With that sentence you've given rather impressively full permission.
:>,
July
On second thought, one stipulation: no incest.
Other than that, go nuts.
For clarity: do you want to not appear in any stories with foofooman3, or are you okay with appearances where any interaction between you two is strictly platonic?
hS
I am shipable any which way. And female, in case anyone was wondering, but you can mess with my gender if'n ya want, too. I'm not fussed. {= )
I doubt I'll be participating much, if at all, though, since I'm working all weekend. Siiigh.
Oh, and apologies if this has been suggested already, but July/Des: The Military Lovers. (Sadly, I can't find a video of the Smothers Brothers ditty by that name to link to, but just pretend it was funny and you chuckled a bit.)
~Neshomeh
And I think they have been shipped already, but under a different ship name :)
~DF
Why staying away from the fun?
Unfortnately, ships are launched faster that I can follow them, so I've got only one in mind for the moment.
Scapegrace/eatpraylove: Shipping Pokefans!
(Note that I use "they" pronouns now, though.)
Anyway, here's a bunch of ships:
Hardric/SeaTurtle: Francophonie ship.
(Alternatively, SeaTurtle/The French language.)
eatpraylove/doctorlit/firemagic: team all lowercase names.
Voyd/SkarmorySilver: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
...but Voyd has told me he's straight, so I'm not sure what he'd think of being paired with a guy TBH. ^^;
BrOTP is fine, though.
It's all in good fun, right?
Because there's a looooot of orientation-bending goes on in the Shipfest.
hS
Remember French Press?
This should not be construed as me shipping myself with Des. It is just a horrible joke that I couldn't resist making because "French press" sounds kinda sexy. ^_^;
In other news, my brother recently violated the French press I use for loose leaf tea by putting coffee in it. Now, despite soaking the thing over and over in hot water, once with dish soap, once with baking soda, there's still a faint smell and aftertaste of coffee. This displeases me.
Make of this information what you will.
~Neshomeh
Burn the heretic and use his ashes to clean the French press! :P
-Des, tea fanatic
Now, if it was coffee with cream or sugar, I'll join the fray.
In a bag for steeping, even. {= /
(We don't drink coffee around here, so we keep Folgers Singles on hand for guests.)
~Neshomeh
It's certainly instant, but whatever the hell micturated that off-brown slop into a poor, unwitting cup, it certainly wasn't anything connected to coffee.
Then again, I can't really talk. I scarf Irn-Bru down by the carboy, and that's not technically something you can drink.
That is, I declare the good ship Mesh/Ix/Des/Scape/Hardric/Tea/Sweet Coffee/French Press/French Press' cousin to be extant. Write it if you dare!
(It's me, isn't it. I'm going to end up writing this. And then it'll be wacky. Although now I'm thinking it could potentially be...sweet.)
~DF
...and replace it with Neshomeh herself. /sighs/
While I'm at it, though, someone ought to write about the love-hate relationships many of us have with our autocorrect. It could be interesting.
~DF
True coffee is only espresso-density coffee. Anything else is just dirty water.
That's what I, as the Board's resident Italian, want to make clear.
Mind if I ship Sergio Turbo/coffee?
I only drink it at work when I need the caffeine.
But still, any self-respecting Italian thinks long coffee is heresy.
Nonono! You should ship Sergio Turbo/True Italian PizzaTM!
Sergio Turbo/real!confetti is the only way to go :P
~DF
Sorry, couldn't resist.
We clearly haven't had that discussion recently enough.
Also: 'confetti'/coriandoli ship?
~DF
Only way things could be worse would be if he ate white chocolate with it.
Sacrifice him to the gods of taste buds, please.
'Black coffee is the best coffee!' I mix pure cocoa with it sometimes, but anyone know that sweet coffee is an heresy as serious as mixing green tea with sugar and milk.
Let's start with some ships of my own devising:
-Neshomeh/doctorlit: Quiet, bespectacled, probably spend a lot of time reading.
-JulyFlame/Scapegrace: Fiery tempers lead to hot lovin'? I think so.
I'll come up with some more later.
-Phobos
Matt Cipher/Iximaz - Jackson Squad
Matt Cipher/eatpraylove - Cipher's First Collab
(hS mentioned a ship with the two of us so I don't have to bridge that awkward gap)
All aquiver with anticipation, too.
To further confuse: I'm me.
Desdenshildr/Iximaz/Kaitlyn/Clara Oswald corsetship! Anyone else seeing this?
(Look, it's either corset jokes or bunkbed ones, you pick.)
hS
Clara Oswald in a corset yesplease. :3
Since about three seconds after posting that.
"It's like a dress... and a ladder!"
Can't even begin to imagine what that'll get me into.
That stands, though. I'm available for shipping.
As to ships of my own, I'll get on that when I can. In the meantime--ShipfestShipfestShipfest ship away! Let's make this the best Shipfest yet!
...also, I should probably dig out the rest of that hS/Desdendelle fic, finish it, and post it. That was fun.
~DF
DawnFire/Hieronymus Graubart/Sergio Turbo: Central European ship.
:D
hS
(Well, you did ask!)
Since I'm now French, and all :P
Although, technically, I'm informed that Lumiere d'Aube would be better outside the badfic games. Ah well. Should anyone write this, you can choose whichever works better for your story--whether it be the literal and literary translation or the one that conveys the meaning better (according to ST).
~DF
This has possibilities.
hS
:) But yeah, I guess I am. Well, French me, anyway. French me is secretly an anthropomorphic candlestick. Whyyyy not.
I look forward to the fic :D
~DF
Following in the wake (heh) of Matt's #TeamJesus, Silenthunder/sonofheaven176-- the ship of Jesus and not-capitalizing-your-compounded-name. (It's a stretch, I know. Forgive me; this is my first attempt.)
-Alleb
... to call Alleb/Silenthunder/sonofheaven176 the Holy Trinity Ship.
So I won't. ^_~
(Question: you said no slash, but would the above count or not? I'm guessing it would depend how it was written?)
hS
Oh gosh, that's hilarious. XD Heehee! If it's written as a love triangle with me and Silent both vying for sonofheaven (not a sentence I ever thought I'd type), then it would be fine. And please call it the Holy Trinity Ship. God has a sense of humor and hopefully He'll forgive us.
-Alleb
Also also wik: I'm assuming at present that you're okay with people listing whatever ships they think of, but that stories should be restricted. If I'm wrong, let me know.
hS
Platonic ships like the ones you posted and love triangles are fine, but please restrict the listings as well.
-Alleb
Alleb/Silenthunder has been removed, unless... er... I guess unless someone wants to say it again with 'platonically' on the end? Is that right?
hS
I'm sorry for making things difficult. But hey, the platonic Alleb/Silenthunder "friend"ship is technically canon, so there's that. =]
-Alleb
Therefore I once again submit the beautiful friendship of Alleb/Silenthunder as #TeamJesus!
So that would be Alleb-Silenthunder
I'm quite curious about what people will come up with, honestly. ^_^ I'm so glad this is a thing.
-Alleb
I'm down for being shipped with everyone, as always. :)
Lessee, ships, ships, ships...
Myself and Desdendelle, of course
SeaTurtle/DawnFire (Canada, eh?)
DawnFire/Desdendelle (Israelis unite!)
JulyFlame/Scapegrace/Neshomeh (the lovely gals I've come to see as my PPC big sister types)
hS and K'eth (the oldest Boarder with the newest)
Possibly more to come later. :)
Search your feelings. You know it to be true. =]
*scurries away to a more private corner with her lunch*
It's gotta be...
*dons sunglasses*
Cheesy.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-
It could be worse. It could be Scapegrace/Horatio Caine, but that would be a Trans-Dimensiona Snatching, wouldn't be it?
WOOHOO, FIRST SHIPFEST!! I'm ridiculously pumped. Anyway, ship me! No slash or genderbending of me or my partner please, and nothing beyond mediumish levels of kissing, if you would. ^_^ WOOT.
-Alleb
Just don't write the fic, and you're fine. =]
-Alleb
Guess I should add one.
Hardic/Neshomeh/Phobos - Team Book on the creation of deathtraps
...that my birthday is in July and see where that takes us
All ships of course pending permission from those involved. But here are a few.
HG/Phobos -Bearded, metaphorical or no
Neshomeh/Iximaz Wiki this
Scapegrace/Neshomeh(optional: /Phobos) So I heard something or other about leather goddesses of Phobos...
Huinesoron/Phobos- 30 Divine
Kaitlyn/Neshomeh- Ringed Hearts
Huinesoron/Scapegrace/etc? Putting on the... *glasses* Brits. (Yeah.)
The Council of Boarders Who Write Time Lords (I figured twas quicker to just leave this one as is without listing every single body.)
Every PG/PG Hat
As compiled over the last few weeks.
But I'm gonna go with
Alleb/Silenthunder: #TeamJesus
Huniesoron/Neshomesh: Because oldbies need to stick together
Desdendelle/Hardric: My brothers-in-creativity
Black_Cat/Cat-on-the-Keyboard: Never enough catness!
Yeah... Nothin' clever, I know.
But yeah, abstractly, the idea of a romance between cats appeals to me. Cat courtship is something I've never really thought about before. . .
Huniesoron/Neshomesh: MiniShip.
Lemme flex my dusty, old shipping muscles and see what we've got here:
Dawnfire/Julyflame/firemagic: completing the Burning Triad (sure to set off some fireworks).
Dawnfire/Silenthunder: because tell me they don't sound like a superhero duo.
Phobos/Calista: Greek romance!
*blushing hugely*
*really, really hugely*
*and smiling super wide right now*
thank you.
... trying in terror to figure out what I'm meant to have remembered.
hS
Which I wrote, and tried really hard to make both high quality and sensual without being explicit. I was really proud of that. And, um, it's nice to make positive contributions round here. So thank you for remembering it.
I get it now. ^^ All you've done, you realise, is ensured you will be held to higher standards for the inevitable sequel. ^~
hS
It means that a community of writers about whom I care very deeply think I can achieve them. I'm... not used to that. I remember going off to one of my AS-level exams and my mother saying "Try not to fail too badly", so, yeah.
Thank you for believing in me.
It means a lot.
<3

Thank you for believing in me.
It means a lot.
I can remember first reading your writing and thinking... woah. This is good. Like, really good. Wow. You have the gift of communicating exactly what you want, and you use varied and interesting words to do so. I hope I can be as good some day.
-Alleb, who is sorry for randomly butting in and isn't sure if it's against unspoken etiquette, but just wanted to add that
AKA I feel exactly the same way. Scape, you're amazing :)
The luuuuuurvefest. ^_~
(With Alleb's feelings for Scapegrace obviously totally platonic, etc.)
hS
Seeing how he luvs it so much ;D
No, really. ;P
I eagerly await the newest installment!
You've heard this or similar things from me before, Scape, but seriously, you--one of the writers I know who I think is very, very talented and whose style I live--wanting to cowrite with me, and having a good opinion of my writing, was just amazing, and there are people--including you, actually, I think--who can attest to how excited I got.
...on that note, we should probably take up second-cowrite planning again...
~DF
*blushing hugely*
*really, really hugely*
*and smiling super wide right now*
thank you. <3
Huinesoron/Scapegrace: BritShip.
SeaTurtle/DawnFire/Iximaz: the other edges of the Feelspiracy.
Neshomeh/Tea: It's there, we know it is.
K'eth/Irrelevant: newest newbies ship.
JulyFire/Huinseoron: weekly plug ship.
Firemagic/Sergio Turbo/James Shields: the other Nanoha fans ship.
Iximaz/Firemagic: Troper-Boarder ship. Probably should have more members.
Partial list only — I'll probably come up with more.
Neshomeh/Desdendelle/Tea: Search your kettle, you know it to be true...
hS
hS/kAITLYN/iXIMAZ: Because I adore me some mentorshipping and also poly is something I am very much down with.
JulyFlame/Desdendelle: Service persons, alike in dignity / On active service, where we lay our scene...
The Giant PG Cuddle Puddle: There is one. I've seen it. It's located in an abandoned toothbrush factory just off the B481 near Watlington. =]
I have a few others, but they have not consented to be part of the Shipfest yet that I have seen. I shall post an updated amourmada should they do so. =]
Is this a thing which a newbie without Permission could potentially participate in, in some way/shape/form?
One of those very weird and strange things that people can take part in, but only if they want, considering as mentioned, it ships Boarders, rather than agents (though they too, sometimes show up).
As long as you're fine with silly shipping and things sometimes getting out moderate (well intentioned) of hand, it's more than okay for you to take part.
-July
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPCBoarderShipfic_Fest
We're shipping other boarders, as it turns out.
I imagine you could participate, if you're willing the handle the pressure.
And, yes, I did properly research the Shipfic Fest after panicking and shipping Huinesoron and Desdendelle.
I stick by it completely.
But if it's not over already, I guess I'll participate
... may still be seen here (link to last year’s shipficfest, may be mildly NSFW)
Since this is a rather long thread, some random recommendations:
Jumping the Shark
Desdendelle/Tea, also featuring Neshomeh
The German Pretzels Ship
HG
I ship Cat-on-the-Keyboard with capslock.
They started off rough, but, in truth, capslock just doesn't know how to express its feelings.
I-IT'S NOT LIKE IT LIKES YOU, OR ANYTHING, BAKA.
(it does)
Though I guess I can bump it up to today, since you've got a thread all ready for it...
hS, pondering
I suppose I'm a participant this year.
-July
Um. Er.
Uhm.
I SHIP DESDENDELLE AND HUINESORON!
AM I DOING IT RIGHT?!
hS: Please do.
*all excited*
