I'm even an actor, I should know this! Oh well, people can afford to be ignorant at times. Still, I hope you can save him. He's my brainchild afterall...
Oh, lemming-aid. I'll take a glass. Minus the brick chunks.
Well, after my little...informal greeting in the IRC chat (I just wanted to see how you all worked, I did not mean to take over discussion like that!) and properly embarrassed myself both with my mobile/tablet/lump-of-garbage acting up and my inability to spell, I decided once I had a proper computer, I would introduce myself! Properly!
I've been lurking around the wiki for about, oh, two weeks, reading sporkings, and chuckling at the antics of Agents, when last night I decided to see the community in action. How interesting that someone else that same day decided to do the exact same thing. I have a feeling that if we ever become agents, she'll probably be my partner. Well, I'll leave that to the Flowers that Be (look at the newbie, using PPC terms) if I ever get the chance.
To answer the questions I know you are going to ask: I found you guys on TV Tropes while looking at Protecters of the Multiverse for a potential story I was writing/planing, thought the premise was humorous and noble to say the least, and decided to see if you sporked some Friendship is Magic badfic. You did. KittyNoodles, love your work so far, I loved the sporking of Rainbow Factory. I have to wonder, how would Caroline react to the goodfic Fallout Equestria? Anyway, sidetracking. I already know about the wiki (duh), I have read Da Rules, and got through about a third of the original series. There were only so many 'secial gurl join da Felloseep, and has one or mor o the felloshiep fall in wuv wit hur,' with subsequent murdering of said Sue. I intend to finish the seres at some point, but school and new fics/sporkings come first.
As for the name, it's in reference to that story I was thinking about making. If you want more information, I would be happy to share, but without some serious changes in his character, I have a Gary Stu on my hands
(But I don't have women falling in droves to woo me! I was not even going to GET a romantic partner!)
Sorry, with your powers, you'd STILL be a Stu.
(Curses.)
I know.
Anyway, I'm glad I gathered the courage to finally able to introduce myself, and semi-dedicate myself to this little community.
I like to give the newbies personalized gifts nd I couldn't think of anything until now. So, have some writing utensils of your choice for that story you're writing. I know I go through them when I'm writing something.
Sorry for the belated welcome, but Real Life has decided that for the entire month of December I should have no free time whatsoever. So. Here I am. On with the spiel.
Welcome a-Board, newbie! I see you've already settled yourself into our ranks and added your own brand of crazy to our sanity-free community (well, not really sanity free, just sanity lacking). I can't say that I share your interest in MLP, but Doctor Who is one of my more recent obsessions, so I will happily chat endlessly with you about such things if you so wish.
On that note, have some salt, pepper and arsenic shakers. They're shaped like Daleks.
As a welcome gift have a floating pen. Just try to use it in places you can reach the ceiling.
You look like a very keen new person, and we're glad to have you, as the long list of posts below me testify. Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object, and make yourself at home!
Shiny things and some pebbles to fidget with... You know how to win an ADD heart.
I come bearing a self-aware adjective! Here, have an Awake. It's a lovely creature, really. Just remember to feed it lots of espresso and/or caffeine unless you want to breed the things.
Note: The Awake is not an edible creature, although it does look delicious.
And I'm loving every minute of it!
(A self aware Adjective? Fasinating, in this univerce, words can come to life, not only bearing a physical form, but also personify it's very definition. I'm never going to sleep with this thing nearby, and considering how the ironic overpower works...)
Jumper, is that what I think it is?
(What?)
Character.
(Hilarious.)
I'm serious!
Thanks, someday I hope to repay all you guys for the gifts. Perhaps by learning how to spell. Or perhaps a poem a good frend of mine wrote. It has nothing to do with the ppc or any fandoms, but it's a very good poem.
Here, have a cup of tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you. And yes, the community is slightly (well, quite) crazy. There's a reason you're asked to leave your sanity at the door, after all. And, besides, people who spork badfic have to be a little crazy.
We're very free with our gift giving here, so don't fell obligated! Just remember to welcome the newbies!
I dont feel obligated, I just feel that I should. Wait...
This is quite the warm welcome, with you self professed grammar Nazis putting up with me and my spelling inefficiency (though I am trying), even giving me things to role-play with. Actually, I have to make a list, I do intend to use every item at some point in some form of role play, be it on this board or somewhere else. Still, I feel thankful, and hopefully can find the darn poem. It's by my friend Jacob, about love, life and depression. It's very well written, but I semi-ruined it for myself when I thought about how the girl may be a Mary Sue. Argh.
Hello dear neophyte! As I see that you've already read pretty much all of the "required" reading I will cut to the chase and give you your gift.
*rummages around in large sack*
Ah! Here we go! I hereby present to you a propeller cap that takes you wherever you want to go through deus ex machinae and magic.
P.S. For help with spelling, if you use Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer or whatever it has a built in spellchecker that can be pretty helpful
Greetings, new friend! Have a quantum leap!
*blue lightning effects*
Congratulations! You are now occupying Justin Bieber's body!
Dang it, of all the possable bodys, like David Tennant, I get Justin fracking Bieber!
...Although...
(chorus of Baby plays)
And I was like, Mary, Mary, Mary SUUUUE
Gary, Gary, Gary NOOOO,
Mary, Mary, Mary SUUUUUE
I thought my OC was fine!
If anyone else got sugestions for PPC'd Justin Bieber songs (as much as I may dislike it let me know. This might ust become a thing.
If I was the Canon, I'd never like your Sue
She's trampled over Rory and made Amy quite blue
She's party-ing with Daleks and dancing with the Oods
And turned the Weeping Angles into geometric pseuds.
Unfortunately, the parody muses have desided to not grant me anything to rebuttle with. Still, I like it!
I love making up PPC versions of Christmas carols.
OK, is there anywhere previous incarnations of this exists? I simply must know. Oh man, "Deck the Halls with Sue Intestine," "Roudolf the Red-nosed Suethor," "Grandma got comatosed by a badfic," and of corse, "I saw a Flower kissing Sana Clause."
Give me a bit, perhaps tomorow morning (Alaska time, so, like, noon everywhere else)and I'll have some PPC song parodys. Look at me, first day and I'm helping!
I'm just, er, trying to write something to start off with first. And it's not quite coming together yet. But I figure I'll take this weekend to see if inspiration strikes, and then if not I'll go ahead with it anyway. {= )
~Neshomeh
Although admittedly that could've been my point.
Have some lemming repellent for the circle of lemmings (although now I must give you the obligatory TRAVELLER BEWARE warning o' doom about that site), and welcome!
Lily!
What have you done!
YOU'VE SPOILED OUR SHINY NEWBIE!
(srsly, he just got here! Why u dump circle of lemmings on him?)
I mean, they're just a bunch of illiterate, dumb rodents right? Yeah, that's totaly what you mean by lemmings. Right? ...Right...?
OH GOD MY EYES! MY SANITY! AAHHHH!!!
Also holy crap, you can html post titles, who knew this.
Also, I write two OFUs. Surely I'm evil enough.
All I do is babysit immature humanized expressions of my personality and physical capabilities.
Speaking of which, it's MST night, I should probably make sure that Monocle is tied up and locked in the closet.
You don't want to try and explain why the theater is burning from giant, blade-like slash marks on the walls to the cops, trust me.
(Have a crunch bar while I'm at it too...) That's gotta be as great as sharing your pre-finals headspace with a genteel velociraptor and a mildly pissed off (ex) Space Marine Mechanic. The ex-sniper is, thankfully, nowhere to be seen... wait. That's not a good thing.
BACK YE SMALL ILITERATE RODENTS! BACK I SAY!
Thanks for the welcome. I just... I feel so loved right now... *manly tears* Thank you all.
Hello, World-Jumper! Welcome to our fine Board! Here, have some Bleepnerds. They come in urple and glose!
Also: Somebody read my sporking before joining up (or at least while they were doing the required reading)? I... hee~
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the sporking - although, since Riese helped me write the second half, I can't take all the credit for the mission being as good as it is (or for managing to stay sane the whole way through.) Might I suggest you check out WarriorJoe's sporking of Cupcakes, too? It's excellently done (and better than mine, really.)
Since Agent!Caroline is PPC!me, I can safely say that she knows Fallout Equestria exists, but chooses not to read it for the same reasons she wanted to destroy 'In which pony juicers kill my soul'. Most likely she'll end up peeking at it out of curiosity during an interlude, and then we shall see what she/I think/s of it. :)
I was waiting for you to show up! Even though you're new compaired to the others, you still make some of the best sporkings (at least that I have read) as well as creating very strong characters. Hope to see more of your work in the future.
Now, if you realy want to freak out, I personaly enjoyed reading your two sporks and interludes than the original series. No I'm not kissing up...
(Yeah you are.)
Shoosh.
Yes I did read the Cupcakes spork, as I said earlyer. You can scroll down if you want my opinion on it, but the tl;dr version: I liked it.
Well, if you DO ever read Fallout Equestria, I would love to read 'your' reaction. I will say, it is very dark, but very very well written. The charicters are fairly strong, and the author somehow makes 'Equestria post nuciar apocalypse' make sence. Give it a shot, and be sire to read at least five chapters before jugeing TOO hard.
Ooh, blee...nerds? What in the name of Celestia was Wonka thinking? Oh well, thanks. I'm sure the sweet blast back into sanity will be helpfull.
Er... Wow. Thank you! But there are probably a lot of missions you haven't read yet - personally, I don't think I'm half as good as some of the more seasoned PPCers...
'Snapback' is AWESOME. Reading it is what inspired me to join up.
I'll keep that in mind, that bit about not judging Fallout Equestria too soon. I might even give it a go sometime this week! :)
Actually, I think SpecstacularSC came up with Bleepnerds...
It's hilarious that you should mention my sister's Rainbow Factory sporking. What were the odds, seriously.
But I'll let her bask in her own glory, there.
All I'm here to do is present you with:
An atomic F-Bomb.
Mind where you go dropping this, now. Highly volatile.
I'm sure there's no way this could-
OH WHAT THE FU-
*BOOOOOM!!!*
(MUHAHAHAH, MU, MUHAHAHA!! THAT'S FOR MY LIBRARY!)
___________
What happened above is not cannon to anything. Now, you say your sister wrote the Rainbow Factory spork? She's a good writer, I love the characterization she managed to put in for the agents, and portraying perfectly the rage of a true brony (I know she uses the term pegasister, but I know several other female bronies who hate the term, so I just use brony, to be safe. That and I would have done the same thing) I am completely invested in the two agent's future, and hope to see more from them. Hmmm, now if I can just find a World of Warcraft-FIM crossover badfic...
Anyway, thanks for the greeting, and I hope to see more from you and your sister in the future.
Expect MSTs from me (either Specs and Co. continuum or one if my other continua), and missions, co-writes and maybe MSTs (at least one that I know of) from Kitty.

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. A Time Lord's favourite drink!
So, we've got another Valve fan! Here, take this HEV suit as an extra gift. I'm yet another Valve fan waiting for the day that Episode 3 will be announced...
Tell me, have you read the killing of "Cupcakes" by Fritz and Silas? It's also a very good read.
*le shameless self-plugging* I also sent an agent into the Rainbow Factory, if that's any interest to you.
...I dont know what to say, other than THANK YOU!!! While I am not usualy a fan of first person shooters, Halflife was one of the best games I have ever played. Gabe, if you don't make episode three soon... I'll just wait some more, like we have so far.
Alright, enough of that silliness. Yes, I've read the Cupcakes killing, and I must say, I cheered when Pinkamena's neck broke and all was well. That was a fantastic sporking, and I loved every moment of it. Actually, I've read ALL the MLP:FIM sporkings, because I had a compulsive need to read what agents had to say about my *little* fandom.
However, for my character OUTSIDE of the PPC, I was presented with a conundrum. You see, Pinkamena was going to be one of his enemies, because he helped create her. He saw the signs in pinkie as a young filly, about three months after she got her cutie mark. While she was great with parties, a rock farm required her to do more work that she just could not do as well as the others. Because rock framing is a very hard lifestyle (pun not really intended, but welcome) her father started to yell at her for not picking up the slack. He never hit her or anything like that, just rough on her.
She started to go insane, and scared about one of the dreams she had one night: her standing over the body her father, a bloody knife in her mouth. Jumper, visiting to collect some stones he needed for ...something, tried to prevent Cupcakes from happening. Instead, he split Knife-happy Pinkamena from cannon Pinkie, and fought her, hoof and nail, trying to kill her. All the fics and popularity kept her from dyeing though, so he locked her inside a different grimdark version of Equestria, to be forgotten.
Each pony (or person, depending if she found her way into another universe) she killed, he found as his responsibility. The blood may not be on his hands, but the mark rested on his soul. However, I wanted him to interact with the PPC. If you killed the original fic, Pinkamena's life support essentially failed, and the whole Pinkamena plot line I thought of was useless. Still, I found a solution, I think, but no need to get into that now.
Oh, so you also sent an agent into the dreaded Factory? Which one, the intelligence report, or the extra agent who was called in in the second half? Either way, I loved it, and you did a good job helping to kill that blasted thing.
...Yes I like to ramble. Got a problem with that?
I do Intelligence runs, not assassinations. If you're looking for Kilroy, try to page Riese on the Board.
According to the latest rumours, Episode 3 is in Limbo until the dev team gets their act together. It's still being worked on, albiet at the conceptual level. Have you ever played Portal, by the way?
That's a pretty interesting backstory for your potential agent. There has been some talk a while ago on "freelancing" or previously employed badfic-killing specialists joining the PPC, but the idea has never really been implemented.
So many new folks...I'm gonna need to make more hats...
Hi, have some fudge!
What do you like besides MLP:FiM?
As for what I enjoy, any game made by Valve, The Elder Scrolls (spesificaly oblivion and skyrim), Fable, LOTR (not as much as you lot though), the Inheritance Cycle (deal with it), Doctor Who, Warcraft to an extant, Warehouse 13 though I've missed a lot of it, Minecraft, and while it's not nessicraly what you're asking for, the SCP-foundation. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. If you were asking for fandoms I am a part of, however, basicaly just the brony fandom, with dabblings in the Portal and Doctor Who fandoms.
And here I seriously thought I was the only guy who liked Fable.
Cheers to Albion, then!
I was a fan of fable for a while, but when I found the moding community for fable one, I was hooked. I was testing so many mods, though I could not make any myself. It's been a while since I've played it though, having moved on to other games. Still, a very fun game. Good times, good times...
God silly, sexy, and very much British times.
Hey there, Jumper! I'm Sevenswans, and school has eaten my life as well. The last newbie got my vial of antifreeze (distilled from the Lemmings of the Circle of Lemmings,) so you're going to have to deal with string, a pocket-sized model of the Taj Mahal, three oranges and a roll of Gaff tape as your introductory gift.
Your name actually makes me think about some stories I wrote, back in the day - and a story I'm still writing, where the multiverse is vast and traveling it is a pain in the ass that people actually do undertake on a fairly regular basis. Also, I've co-written or run writing workshops for several years now, so I'm fairly good at rehabbing borderline sue's and stus, if you wanted to throw any info at someone.
Welcome to the board! Watch out for the Lemmings, we seem to be flooded in the little beasts...
(Hmmm... If I had a growth ray, I could have a life-sized model of the Taj Mahal in my library!)
Now now Jumper, I'm not sure weather you can even HAVE your library.
(WHAT!? Oh come on, I travel to worlds represented by fiction, I need the work of fiction to travel there, therefore with a pocket dimension, I have a library that contains every written work, published or not, so I can travel and learn! It's like the Doctor's TARDIS, but cooler for me!)
...Yeah, either you're not getting it, or you are going to have to take Apocrypha from Hermaeus Mora by force, which would confirm your status as a Gary Stu.
(...We'll work on it.)
Indeed.
Thanks for the gifts, I know there are plenty of things one can use... Gaff tape? It it like duct tape? Still, perhaps I can MacGyver something with this stuff. Or make orange juice. Whatever.
As for the help with the character, I would very much appreciate it. While I don't have a huge amount of time at the moment, I would be happy to provide more information about who he is, and how I wanted to use him later.
Do I detect a fellow Elder Scrolls player? *Grins.*
I tell you what, have a D&D-verse Bag of Holding. It's not huge, but you might manage to fit a few books in there. I guess that's close to a pocket dimension, and without being a 'Stu.
(...A bag of holding? I could of had the greatest library in existence, but instead I have a generic, small, d&d bag of-)
-Ignore him, he's a little upset at me for making him less powerful, just so he does not BECOME A BLODDY STU AND GET'S KILLED RATHER THAN BECOMING AN AGENT!
(*Pffffht!*)
Immature little...
Thanks for the gift, if I ever do make it as an agent, I will be sure he uses this. I must admit, I could not get into D&D, table tops just take too long when the entire group is learning how to play. However, RPG video games, expeshaly The Elder Scrolls, are just too much fun. While I almost always play a good, knight-in-shining-armor type character as my main, the Daedric Princes' quests are always worth doing, especially Sheogorath. After becoming a brony though, I wondered what would happen if either Sheogorath and Discord met, or if they switched places. What a perfectly maddening, chaotic prospect that would be...
Unfortunately, I have not played as much of the elder scrolls as I would like. I beat Oblivion, game of the year edition with my Divine Crusader Paladin, and managed to get fairly well through with my evil and Sheogorath-want-to-be characters, but then I lost the disks and I am sad :(.
Still, thanks, and I hope to be able to interact with you guys more in the future.
Get Skyrim; enough said. It also runs via Steam, so once installed, no disc required! Epic game, beautiful graphics, and there's a new expansion coming out in January (or earlier, depending on your platform).
Silly me, didn't read other threads before posting. Looks like you already did get Skyrim. Enjoying it?
It peels off cleaner, though, and is preferable for paint, wire, and lighting work. I used to wear a roll of each as bracelets when I ran props and was on set build in high school.
Lovely. I am a sucker for improbable libraries, by the way. And when life throws you lemmings, make lemming-ade! /Gets bricked by the rest of board.
I'm even an actor, I should know this! Oh well, people can afford to be ignorant at times. Still, I hope you can save him. He's my brainchild afterall...
Oh, lemming-aid. I'll take a glass. Minus the brick chunks.
I did odd jobs mostly when I was in theater; I'm at best a mediocre actress, but I do love building improbable set pieces and then admitting to my directors that they're saddled with them for the foreseeable future since I used an old lighting pole for the base of the design. (Oh, but that was a fun tree to build...)
