Say, isn't it time for the Shipfest? by Desdendelle on 2017-03-03 12:02:00 UTC Reply

I distinctly remember it happening sometime around March.

AHHHHH IM LATE! by World-Jumper on 2017-03-10 09:03:00 UTC Reply

Well, even though it is rather late, I should say that I'm in, I'm cool with having stories being written about me, and have no limits on whom I'm shipped with.

21, male, white, rather on the chunky side. Brown hair, hazel eyes. There, thinks that about covers it.
You know what? IÂ’m going in. by KimchiRamen on 2017-03-09 22:30:00 UTC Reply

Hope it's not too late.
I understand that my minimal presence would make it difficult to include me, and I might not be able to do much anyway due to personal reasons, but I'm in need of an incentive to strive to write more and socialize despite real life stress.
Anyway, my descriptions:
Male, 18, 5'8", light brown, short black hair, dark brown eyes, thin facial hair.
As for restrictions, do whatever you wish. Bend me, shake me, anyway you want me, it'll be fine.
Just putting this out here. by Storme Hawk on 2017-03-08 17:46:00 UTC Reply

Because I won't have time to write it myself, but given the current top post on the board. There should be a Matt Cipher/ALL THE LADIES (Who are willing to be shipped) fic. You know, because they want to show their 'thanks'.

Also where's my ship Granz? I asked for a destroyer and you haven't delivered yet?

Who has ideas, but neither the skill or time to write them into stories.

I swear, it's a conspiracy. by Granz the Ice Cream Monarch on 2017-03-10 05:26:00 UTC Reply

All of you are conspiring to prevent me from including any girls in my stories? Because it's not going to work, you know! I have at least two, no, wait, three ships planned, and I swear, a girl will be in at least one of them! But, since you insist, I will put you in a story. Good news for you, I had an idea, but needed another candidate to write in. You'll fit perfectly. Or, perhaps, somebody else will. ;)

Count me in! by Akrinor on 2017-03-07 23:49:00 UTC Reply

There are no restrictions for shipping on me. Genderbend me, put me into kinks, ship me with food and inanimate objects, whatever floats your boat.

My main boarderships are Aegimaz, Nesh/Phobos, Des/Zingy, Larfen/Granz, and, freshly arrived, Alleb/Larfen

As for details about me: Male, 19 years old, 5'9"-5'10", blueish-grey eyes, pale, wears mostly black, long hair, goatee.
Is it too late to add my name to the Shipfest? by Jay - Awesomeness Central on 2017-03-06 05:47:00 UTC Reply

I sure hope it isn't, because this sounds fun. Description: 15 year old male, blue/green/grey eyes (no joke, my eyes literally change color day to day, it's freaky), shaggy brown hair with bleached yellow highlights, strong jaw, 5 feet 4 inches.
Phew! Lengthy description.
I'm mostly gay. Have fun!
Oh yeah, this! by VixenMage on 2017-03-05 18:58:00 UTC Reply

I'm shippable, if anyone is so inclined. I'm short, blond, and androgynous in every particular. (Bi-directional gender-bending!) But I also haven't hung around here much, so whatever!
I am available. by PoorCynic on 2017-03-05 18:14:00 UTC Reply

And also, I am still alive. Just very lurk-y.

Male, late twenties, glasses and beard. No restrictions that I can immediately think of.
I'm in. by Cat-on-the-Keyboard on 2017-03-05 08:33:00 UTC Reply

I'm an older teenager, cis female, but rather androgynous and something of a drag king wannabe (quote from someone who knows me in Real Life: "Are you sure you're not trans?"). Very okay with any form of gender-bending. My ancestry is Mediterranean European and have the tan skin, brown hair, and stunning good looks which come with the territory. I'm getting over a breakup; feel free to use that in your story and make up the details. I'm frequently stressed out; there are lots of opportunities for hurt/comfort. I'm inclined to be monogamous and prefer long-term relationships, but I'm also kind of a pushover, so my being in a poly relationship (other than a really stable one where everyone involved is deeply in love with everyone else involved) or involved with a brief fling isn't unrealistic, but that relationship being healthy is improbable (although not, I suppose, impossible). Kink of any kind is okay -- in fact, encouraged -- but bear in mind my most important guideline:

Keep it SFW.

I consent to fluff only. I suppose sex can happen offscreen, implied as obliquely as possible. But otherwise, I am here doing my part to promote the proliferation of kinky romance stories because they are the actual cutest.

--Key

P.S. If you can write kinky fluff that is SFA, you get a medal.
I'm available. by YpsiFang on 2017-03-05 07:34:00 UTC Reply

I'm available for shipping, though this might be a bit late and unless you're on the Discord, you probably don't know me very well.
Appearance:
Male, somewhat short, short and very slightly messy blonde hair, pale, hazel eyes. Can't grow proper facial hair. Typically wear jeans and a military jacket.

Personality:
I like reading, drawing, writing, and occasionally playing video games or D&D. I like mysterious stuff, but don't really read or watch mysteries. Really like speculative fiction, especially fantasy and horror. Identify as a man. Often tend to be sarcastic, quiet, and slightly awkward.

Shipping rules:
Couples only if I'm involved, please. Nothing kinky. Aside from that, I'm good.

Female, tall, looks to be early twenties, shoulder length hair that's probably going to be dyed some neon color soon, and cat eye glasses. I'm also openly bi.

She/her/hers, Ancientbie by the reckoning of years.

Let's see here. Elbow-length brown hair, gray-blue eyes, enjoys circus and books and all the things. And tea. Prodding at my transness is okay but please be careful (I'd be happy to sensitivity-read before you post).
There is now a Shipfic Story Thread! by Zingenmir on 2017-03-05 03:33:00 UTC Reply

It can be found here. It's not meant to pressure anyone, but if you have a story already and/or expect to get pretty busy in the coming week (hi, fellow busy people!) it's there. Why a separate thread? More time on the front page, of course!

I remain, as always, shippable. by Badger421 on 2017-03-04 21:23:00 UTC Reply

I can't imagine who you devious people could possibly ship me with (fear my awesome powers of lurking), but hey, can't hurt to throw my name into the hat, right?

Right...?

Ahem, so appearance. I'm a lanky, pale as an albino snowflake, 5'9"-ish, 18-22 (at this point I'm just trying to see how long I can go without directly mentioning my age. Blame Alleb.) year old Washingtonian lad. Add long brown hair, slate blue eyes with a milky white right pupil (cataract), with some oval lens glasses, and voilà, a Badger.
My wardrobe practically never varies from dark colored t-shirts and jeans, except when it's cold enough to wear my comfy jacket. I wear a leather-wrapped magnifying glass around my neck at all times.

So, that's done, on to the ships!
All the canon ships. All of them. They please my canonshipper heart.
Larfen/Granz: Does anyone in the Discord chat not ship this?
Larfen/Granz/GMA: The PPC love triangle. Drama, intrigue, romance!
Larfen/The Adoring Masses, A.K.A. everyone who follows him when he starts a name trend: I'm sure others start them too, but when Larfen does it, everybody follows. It can't be a coincidence, I tell you! ~~Totally not leaving out the fact that this includes himself. Nope, no conveniently absent facts here.~~
GMA/Ypsi: Don't ask 'cause I don't know. The idea popped into my head one day, and it hasn't left yet.
Matt Cipher/Magick: Come on, he's our resident occultist. Plus, Mattick. 'Nuff said.
Alleb/Google Translate: I don't know if Alleb was responsible for the terrible things we did to poetry that night, but that's who I'm blaming.

And I think that about wraps it up. Had more ships than I thought, it seems.

And as for boundaries, pretty much none. Who am I to squash whatever eldritch and abominable flower blooms in your mind's eye?
Seriously, though, go wild. I've been hanging around the furry fandom even longer than I've been hanging around here. Nothing surprises me anymore.

. . . *looks down to the side*

Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine. . .

I don't really have any restrictions on whom I'd like to be shipped with, honestly, should anyone feel inclined.

Right-o, physical descriptions. Approximately 6'2", 20, male, slim build, pale, blonde hair totally not styled to copy the Tenth Doctor's, with blue eyes you normally can't even see because there's a great honking pair of thick-framed lenses in front of them.

As for suggested ships, I'm also standing in favor of Granz/Larfen, because seriously, this has gotta happen eventually.

And I obviously have a preference for Aegimaz. :) by Aegis on 2017-03-04 04:02:00 UTC Reply

Though, I mean, it's not like I'm biased or anything. 'Cause that would be ridiculous.

Buzzed-short brown hair, eyes blue or green depending on what colors I'm wearing, 5'8", clean-shaven. Male pronouns, demiromantic asexual (I think). I don't care what sort of story I'm used in; my only request is, let's maybe not continue the doctorlit/David Bowie jokes anymore? It feels . . . not so funny, anymore. :(

I'm All In by The Triumvirate on 2017-03-04 01:25:00 UTC Reply

Calliope, reporting for extensive shipping! Physical guidelines are as follows:

Sixteen years of age, brown hair (shoulderblade-length and growing), eyeglasses, and my eyes actually change color sometimes, but seem to have mostly settled on green and hazel by turn. The other color I know for a fact they like is grey. I can usually be found in jeans (Lore insists they're skinny, but they're really not, I swears it) and a tee, plus a jacket of some kind (my current one is a somewhat longer-than-normal brown coat, some kind of soft material (maybe flannel?), has two inside pockets and two outside pockets) and either tennis shoes or boots, depending on the weather. On the other hand, I just came into a collection of long skirts and three pairs of heels (two of which are in boot form), so feel free to write those in, too.

Now then... ships. *cracks knuckles*

I'd be technically okay with some daily-life-as-siblings stuff with myself and Lore, but... please... please no more than that. He's my older brother and I love him more than anyone else, but... he's my older brother.
Granz/Larfen: Please. PLEASE. You two are the most adorable thing ever.
Matt/Granz/Larfen: This is partially a joke, but discounting those with unfair advantages, you three are my absolute favourite people here.
Pokémon RP Group Ship (Granz/Storme/Scape/Hardric/Delta or any combination thereof): This is being put forth by request, and I won't say from whom.
The Town of Salem Crew: I can't think of exactly who-all usually joins, but I'd be very interested in seeing what anyone who writes this comes up with! Bonus points if you include lies and deception, especially the thing where the person who rolls Godfather pretends to be a Doctor. (And name themes. Those are almost always a thing, at least between two or three members.) Again, this is mostly a crack ship. I'm primarily thinking of this as something like 'mass fluff everywhere', but feel free to take liberties. (Yes, I know it's bad form to put forth ships including yourself. I think this one's special, but that may just be because I'm still incredibly new.)
More ships will be forthcoming when I think of them, probably.

As far as relationship boundaries go (aside form the aforementioned Lore rules) - go wild! I have no problem with genderbending, threesomes or more (just keep them healthy), being shipped with other females, crazy kink stuff - I'd prefer not to take too much damage, but that's about it. If you think something's too out-there even with that statement, feel free to run it by me, but I'll probably approve it.

Cheers!

A Few Minor Details I Forgot by The Triumvirate on 2017-03-04 12:55:00 UTC Reply

One, there are three (sort of three and a half) things about my appearance I think ought to be mentioned. Two, I completely forgot to describe Lore whatsoever.

I have some of the palest skin you'll ever see - possibly because I have to be dragged outside kicking and screaming, and even then, I'm in all that stuff I mentioned before. It's to the point where, under almost all circumstances, you can clearly see several veins under my skin - mostly in my hands and arms. Second thing: height. I usually stand around... five-foot-eight? Something in that range. (Those of you who have heard me feeling short: you're about to see half the reason.) Thirdly: scars. No, not self-harm scars or anything like that, I'm not that kind of girl. I have tons of really small round scars all over my feet and lower legs; they're part of the reason I will not wear shorts.

Now, then! For my brother. Lore's, like, six-foot-one or something like that. (I kind of hate him for it.) His incredibly messy hair is pretty long - a little more than my own, but still in the shoulderblade area. He has darker skin than me, possibly because of marching band and the fact that he got more Italian genes than me. His eyes are brown, they will always be brown - but he wears glasses, and just got a new pair, which means that he no longer looks like he's trying to be Harry Potter. (No, really, when he had short hair people were always commenting on how he looked like Harry Potter.) He's always in a tee and some light, loose-ish jeans - not the kind that fall down, just the kind that don't show off his legs - and either some old sneakers or his military/hiking/combat/whatever-they-are boots.

I think that about covers us. Questions?
So the Town of Salem crew would be. by Storme Hawk on 2017-03-04 11:43:00 UTC Reply

Storme Hawk/Granz/Aegis/Iximaz/Tomash/Silenthunder/The Triumvirate/Mattman/Matt with perhaps a cameo from Scapegrace as well.

Also the Pokemon RP Group should at least contain Aegis (who seems to be the star of the ships) and maybe Iximaz?

And in that case, to complete the RP groups that I know of, we should have the (I'm really sorry I haven't updated it lately I swear I'll do it today) Dungeon Crawlers Storme Hawk/Granz/Aegis/Iximaz/Mattman with potential cameos from Scapegrace/Skarmory Silver/TheShyIon/Alleb. Bonus points if it contains dungeons and/or crawling.

It's been, what, hours since this has gone up? For shame, me! Anyways, I am willing to be shipped. Male of an age ranging from mid-teens to mid-twenties, and that's all you're getting out of me. Now, pardon as I run away to hide in a locked room while I allow my badficcer self out to write all these horrid, horrid things.

Now how about a few ship ideas? by Granz the Ice Cream Monarch on 2017-03-04 02:00:00 UTC Reply

StormeHawk/SkarmorySilver - Because birds!

Badger421/Silenthunder/Akrinor/Tomash , or any combination of them - They infect Discord with things that take up lots of time, such as Freefall, comedy sketches, robotic giraffes, and snakes.

Desdendelle/Tomash - Because higher education is ever so stressful, and they like to help each other let off steam.

Mattman/Matt Cipher - Mattfest. It’s as good a reason as any!

GMA/Larfen - The fires of jealousy and envy create the best of Kismesissitudes.

Silenthunder/GMA - PPC: Agents of Skyrim.

GMA/Badger421/SkarmorySilver/StormeHawk/Maslab/Cat-on-the-Keyboard/VixenMage/Squidboi - As many animal-associated Boarders as I could think of.

Aegis/Every Conceivable Person - Because of all the things we haven’t done in Aeg(i)s.

Desdendelle/Neshomeh/Huinesoron/Zingenmir/French Press/Tea - What they couldn’t understand was that Tea was perfectly happy being with all of them at once.

Zingenmir/Iximaz - Because of Dax and Jacques.

Oh, I forgot one/several. by Granz the Ice Cream Monarch on 2017-03-04 06:17:00 UTC Reply

Namely, what must be now obligatory, shipping everybody in any particular -bie category, these categories as dictated by Huinesoron as follows:
-Originalbie. 2002-August 2003.
-Ancientbie. Aug '03-February 2005.

Iximaz/Aegis: Because it's canon

Iximaz/Neshomeh: One-sided squeeeing that transitioned into a collaboration. Also, we all know who MrsSupernumary was in the badfic fest, no?

Larfen J. Stocke/Granz: Sure, those over-the-top pet names in chat started as a joke...

Granz/GMA: You two were looking forward to this way too much

VixenMage/scapegrace/(maybe palindromordnilap): Per the last political compass map, communist ship

Katlyn/Huinesoron/Neshomeh/Delta Juliette/...: "Get off mah lawn, you darn kids!" the ship (ancientbies and up)

All the PGs: Because no one's proposed it yet. The PG hat may or may not be involved.

CodeCom/Katlyn: The traditional newest Boarder/oldest Boarder ship

Maslab/Bad puns (possibly also Aegis/Bad puns, or both of those combined): I mean, have you seen the Discord some nights?

Mattman/his railgun: The fic writes itself

~~I cannot confirm or deny the existence of a techie love nest~~

Also, I ship all of you who were pretending to be me in the Discord the other day (unless you don't want to be shipped, of course). As I recall, that includes:

- Neshomas a.k.a. Neshomath (Maslab)
- N3sh0meh (1visible)
- Neshomash (Tomash)
- Scapeshomeh, or something like that (Scapegrace)
- Neshumvirate, Calliomeh, or something like that (Calliope of the Triumvirate)

... Yeah, my memory sucks. You'll have to help me out with anyone I messed up or left out entirely.

Anyway, have fun coming up with a ship name for that mess! ^_~

One: Yes, I consent to being shipped with you.

Two: I was Calliomeh! Yes, you got it right! The full name was The Triumvirmeh (Calliomeh).

Welcome to the Shipfest! This is where we all pour out our shipping urges onto our fellow Boarders, and laugh maniacally at the results.

There are two things you can (and should) do in the Shipfest:

1/ Share your pairings! These can be anyone in the PPC community, unless they specifically ask that they not be paired. People are also allowed to request specific limitations (we've had one person ask not to be shipped with their sibling in the past, for example). List the couples (or moreples) you ship on the Board, and say why you ship them! It is generally not a good idea to ship yourself with someone (unless it's canon) - it looks a little desperate-slash-creepy.

2/ Write appalling shipfics! This is opt-in: unless someone has specifically said they're okay with fics about them, don't do it. Shipfics should be kept within general Board guidelines as far as ratings go; if you're unsure whether something's okay, ask the people you're shipping. (This especially goes if you're writing yourself into the story - that's allowed, but be careful.)

There is a master list of ships (for inspiration) and people, which I'll try to keep updated. We're going into the weekend, though, so it might lag behind the thread.

My ships:

Huinesoron/Kaitlyn - it's canon, obvs.
Neshomeh/Phobos - Neshbosh!

Desdendelle/DawnFire - come on, have you seen their agents together?
Iximaz/Scapegrace - again, have you seen their agents? Whether it's Ave/Notary or Dok/Gabrielle...
Tomash/Delta Juliette - I imagine they have a techie love-nest somewhere. ^_^
Desdendelle/eatpraylove/Scapegrace - you're all a bit... eager to get started, hey?

(Obviously, I - and Kaitlyn - are open to any ships.)

So I have an historical shipfic chunk. by Zingenmir on 2017-03-03 22:55:00 UTC Reply

It's from 2014, and is apparently the first one I ever tried to write. Me, I think it's pretty funny, but I'm also the author, so I'm entitled to bias. It's still making me laugh, though, and I'm reasonably sure at least some other people would be amused as well.

I don't think it's something I can continue without changing 3+ cast members (who aren't hanging around the Board this month/at all anymore), but I do want to share what there is of it. It has about six non-platonic ships (plus one brotp, as I labeled it), is...let's go with 'LotR-related' for the least amount of spoilers, and is pretty short but hopefully fun. Everyone in it, to my knowledge, was willing to be shipped when I wrote it.

Thoughts? Can I post it as historical? Should I instead try to do a (longer) rewrite and add this as an extra? I don't know how well that would go in my current level of school-related business, but if it's the only way to share it, I can give it a go.

~Zing

PS: here's the cast list, for curious people.

People/Characters:
Boarders (no, not random Boarders--'Boarders' as an entity. I'd say it makes sense in context, but this is the shipficfest)
Firemagic
Huinesoron
Kaitlyn
Lily Winterwood
Neshomeh
Outhra
Phobos
Pretzel
Sergio Turbo
Shipping
Delta Juliette
World-Jumper

Places:
Bakery, The (related to Pretzel, probably connected to some sort of joke on the Board at the time? Either that or I just came up with it because, duh, Pretzel+Bakery=sense!)
Board, The
Netilardo

Ships: various combinations of the cast (of course). All are pairs, mainly because of Tolkien.

I'd say go for it, by doctorlit on 2017-03-04 03:08:00 UTC Reply

Um... do people want to do a second thread for writing stories?

Blame it on my memory. by Zingenmir on 2017-03-04 16:04:00 UTC Reply

I'd already associated March with the badfic games instead of the shipfest; what's another bit of misremembering about how we do this? :) In my defense, it's been a while and I've been exhausted. Actually, I'm still kind of tired.

I can post it at the top of this thread, once I glance over it and check that I formatted it correctly and stuff.

~Zing

We've had two threads before. by Huinesoron on 2017-03-04 16:38:00 UTC Reply

Last two years I've done a listing thread in Feb and the story thread in March. But I don't think we need the separation, honestly. If you've got a story, post it here. Try to mark it clearly, and we should be fine.

My hazy memory, for what it's worth by Tomash on 2017-03-04 17:03:00 UTC Reply

I remember that the last few years, the way Shipfest worked is that we'd have this thread (signups/paring generation), which we'd let marinate for a few days (maybe even about a week, not sure), and then we'd have the actual Shipfest in a separate thread.

Yes, that's... what I said? Isn't it? (nm) by Huinesoron on 2017-03-04 17:29:00 UTC Reply

Yeah by Tomash on 2017-03-04 17:40:00 UTC Reply

I forgot to put "and I support keeping it that way" in my post. Sorry for the confusion.

...Ah. by Zingenmir on 2017-03-04 18:32:00 UTC Reply

So...should I post the story at the top of this thread, or wait until there is or isn't a new thread started? I'd been semi-planning to do it right now (after looking it over, which I haven't yet because lunch and sleep), but depending on this year's format (good to know I wasn't imagining things), that might not make sense...?

~Zingenmirtsuzamenashipficfestsheyn--what do you mean, that's hard to read and not in a language most people know and doesn't really make sense to begin with? *Keeps on trying to sing nice Shipficfests with everyone*

*shrugs* by Tomash on 2017-03-04 19:05:00 UTC Reply

I mean, if it were up to me, I'd hold it for the stories thread to keep things consistent and make it easier to find old stories in the future. However, I'm not in charge, so do whatever feels right, I guess.

And I don't think you're the only one who's got a shipfic ready to go.

Well, then. hS? (nm) by Zingenmir on 2017-03-04 20:03:00 UTC Reply

I'm just the caretaker here. by Huinesoron on 2017-03-04 20:06:00 UTC Reply

Splitting the threads was an innovation of mine 2 or 3 years back, based on the fact that the earliest Shipfest had people posting fics over the rest of the month.

Can I suggest a middle way? The Board is pretty slow nowadays, so why not make a 2nd thread now for fics?

hS

I'm fine with whatever. by Zingenmir on 2017-03-04 21:18:00 UTC Reply

Though, speaking of having shipfics ready to go, I also just buckled down and finished my Des/Tea entry that was originally meant for last year. So...one historical and one current, ready to go! Just tell me when and where.

Is it actually that much slower these days? (and stats) by Tomash on 2017-03-04 21:12:00 UTC Reply
I remember threads typically lasting on the front page for a week and a bit, which is a bit less time than the current range (just over a week and a half between the oldest thread and the newest).

And that made me think of how many PPCers there are, anyway, so have some quick stats. I downloaded the front page (which, a few minutes ago, contained 243 posts) and counted (automatically, I'm not crazy) how many people posted on the front page and how many posts each of them had made.

Here's the list, with convenient semicolons for importing into your stats program of choice. (Note: corrections have been made to address a few times someone posted under an alternate name, or typo'd their username, or left an extra space at the end of the Author field.)

This list shows that there are 42 recently-active Boarders. If memory serves correctly, this is about consistent with the last time I analyzed these statistics a few months ago.

Chat, which I don't have precise stats on, hovers around 25 people online during US evenings, and has peaked 30 before. There's at least a few people that I'd consider "around" (mostly from seeing them in chat) who aren't on that Board list, such as Delta Juliette or VM, so I think I can say there's somewhere around 45-50 people who are some degree of active in the PPC.

Does that number sound right to y'all?

Bonus info: the average Boarder has posted about 5.8 times over the last few weeks, and "post count" feels exponentially distributed.

You have a mistake there. by Desdendelle on 2017-03-04 21:41:00 UTC Reply

Specifically, AFAICT Bram and Bramandin are the same person.

Which brings the average up to 5.93 by Tomash on 2017-03-04 21:48:00 UTC Reply

, the total count down to 41 people, and changes little else. Someone who actually knows how to stats might want to analyze these.

2) Ships, because I totally forgot about that:
-Club of Bespectacled People: everyone with glasses/everyone else with glasses. There are a lot of people with glasses here.
-Huinesoron/Scapegrace/Storme Hawk: Britshipping.
-Ekyl/Fasoula/Jebboy/Maslab: the Discord's AFK Squad.
-Tomash/Delta Juliette/Huinesoron: Technical.
-Tomash/doctorlit: it can get awfully lonely in the Archives...
-Tomash/Matt Cipher: Poleshipping.

20s with a baby face, she/her, brown curly hair, blue eyes, bout 4'11", hetero but will be OK with a same-gender pairing

(Also, by "outlandish kinks" I specifically mean breathplay and anything involving body fluids near/in my mouth. Those are what the kink community calls my "hard limits".)
