As I assume a good deal of you know, I have been threatening the board with a second permission attempt for at least a few weeks now.
Well, after some time to think it over, I've decided that I am actually not going to try for permission again.
This isn't just some spur of the moment thing to cause unnecessary drama. I've thought good and hard on this.
My reasoning is simple: I lack the maturity in skill, my writing style is too whimsical to accommodate the structured, if wacky nature of mission writing, and I just don't have the capacity to write missions on my phone.
With Christmas coming around the bend soon, I could end up with a tech upgrade; but that still leaves me hanging on the other two points. I just can't make myself think like an Agent - I think too much like SC: cynical, snarky, not-entirely-on-point, always preoccupied with other thoughts, etc.
However, this doesn't mean I won't write; I love doing MSTs. In fact, part three of my Narnia MST is almost done. So I'll definitely be doing MSTs whenever I can.
And hey: the rules do say that I can plug stories as well. I probably won't do that as much, but definitely keep an eye out if you follow me on DA.
I felt the need to let people know because I've been very talkative about permission and missions and agents for a while now, and this suddenly clicked in my head. I like READING stuff by the PPC, and I enjoy being on the board - but I don't think I can bring myself to write for the PPC. That's something for those more apt than I.
So, to summarize: I'm not going for permission, but by all means, send fics my way to MST, I'm all up for that.
