Let me give you a pot of my special brand of coffee, so black it can suck the light, my chocolate supplies are running low.
How did you discovered this community?
Did you read the Original Series and the Constitution?
Did you read some spin-offs, and which ones if you did?
Could you also present yourself, even basically, and present us your fandoms, please?
Hi! I'm an aspiring writer looking to get my creative juices flowing and looking for a new group of internet chums to talk to.
Welcome.
Have a +3 cold iron shovel! Super-effective against demons and fairies.
I pinched it from the Tanz der Vampire fandom; hopefully Krolock doesn't mind… *nervous laughter*
Anyway, have fun with the community! Glad to have you onboard!
Have a live Yi qi, a Monstrous Nightmare tooth, and an umber hulk action figure!
Welcome to the board and here is a whirple light pen.
*high-fives* Here's a Chocolate Frog, a composition notebook, and a box of pens! Also a photo of Leader Erika, so you have something nice to look at when you feel beaten-down. :)
Erika is my favourite Gym Leader! :D
Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!
Why thank you Mr. Skarmory! What beautiful, invisible feathers you have.
I'm also relatively new to the PPC. They're (actually, that would be 'we're' now, wouldn't it? Cool) all fantastic people. Except for that Dorano character - she's a strange one...
Have some Bloffee. You'll be needing it.
I'll keep an eye out for her ;P
Hi there! I see from your response to Des that we both like Yugioh and Harry Potter. What are you favorite goodfics from those fandoms?
Have a Rorschach Book, which can change into virtually any written text in existence. It works kind of like the Room of Requirement. Basically, you hold while having your eyes closed, think about what you wanna read and then blink on purpose three times.
I like the first two Shadowchaser fics. The rest are kinda hit-or-miss for me.
Also what would happen if I though about the Book of Rorschach while holding it? o.O
For Yugioh, my absolute favorite is Battle Zone. The duels are really well written and properly described, specially the Monster cards. You can pretty much always picture the action as if you were actually watching the duel.
It's technically GX, but only in the sense that the beginning of the first arc takes place at the end of the protagonists' Third Year. After that the action pretty much takes place in tournaments and things like that. And also some arcs involving Haou, but that's it.
Aren't there any HP fics that you like?
As for your question, I don't know. Best not to try it.
I thought that The Evil Overlord List was hilarious and I like Harry Potter and the Boy Who Lived.
I'll have to give Battle Zone a read sometime.
My favorite HP fics are The Harmony Bond, Tragedy, Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Future’s Past and Marissa and the Wizards .
Harmony Bond and Tragedy are Harmony shipfics, so if you can't stand the pairing, it's likely that you won't like them all that much.
Nightmares of Futures Past is one of those AU fics where Harry goes back in back to fix things. It works better than most because we get to see him struggle with his morals when he has to prepare his friends for what's come while feeling guilty about doing it, feeling like he is manipulating them and that they will hate him when the truth comes out. He also has to balance wanting to change things for the better and trying keep his knowledge from future relevant.
I love Marissa and the Wizards in great part because it's about a Wizarding School set in my very own country, Brazil. Witness Stone comes across as unique and very different from Hogwarts, from how students are sorted into the Houses to how the fantastical creature that live there are based in local folklore.
Here's your starter Pokémon:
Iiiiiiit's Diglett!
And your starting item is:
The Candle (aka. Blue Flame Candle) from The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth!
The Candle is a very, very good item: every time you use a non-contact move, you make an additional 60BP Fire-type Special attack with a 20% chance to Burn the target, and it's affected by any and all abilities. However, it's not a particularly brilliant fit for Diglett. While it works well with Earthquake and can do additional chip damage, the problem is that Diglett is a Pokémon geared towards taking out very specific threats in the Little Cup meta, which is basically Chinchou. Diglett's Special Attack is also straight-up garbage, so even if you invest in full Special Attack (and frankly there's no reason why you would) then you're not going to be able to kill stuff off with Candle damage alone. Sorry. Both 'mon and item are good, they just... don't go great together. =]
That's ok, Diglett is cute and I can use the candle to read by when the power goes out.
I think Des would be the first Plover, actually :P
The plover is Tawaki’s traditional newbie gift, and probably the first you ever got.
Welcome aboard.
You wonder where your gift is? You got free information about plovers :-)
HG
Might be referring to this.
Focus, guys.
*hides*
Good times.
#VirusGuy2013NeverForget
Heya, and welcome aBoard! As your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
Since Des already covered the basics, I'll just leave you with a smile, and I hope you like it here!
*is poked and glomped!*
Why thank you! Everyone is so friendly here.
*happily eats the SPaGhetti*
Let me give you a pot of my special brand of coffee, so black it can suck the light, my chocolate supplies are running low.

*sips the coffee*
Thank you. I'm still working on the Original Series but I'll get to the Spin-offs soon.
As for the rest I've already told Des.
Fancy seeing you here and things. You should read the Constitution and the Original Series. We also have a wiki; links are all on the top of the page.
Here, as a newbie gift, have this cup of Lapsang Souchong tea. No, the leaves are not going to eat you.
Oh, also. What are your fandoms? Your preferred pronoun? What is the meaning of the goggles?
Thank you Des! Fancy seeing your here as well. I've read through the Constitution and I'm now making my way through the Original Series.
My fandoms are Yugioh (but you knew that already :P), Pokemon, Fate series, Xena, Reboot, Beast Wars, Gurren Lagann, Gundam, Wrestling, Sigma Force, Harry Potter, LOTD and a bunch of other stuff.
My preferred pronoun is "he/him" though I also accept "ble/blim".
As for the goggles, they do nothing but they are a symbol of mankind's determination and "FIGHTING SPIRIT".
