HI PEEPS! Newbie here! (first post) by

HI PEEPSIES! I'm a Newbie here!
*sips coffee*
I'm a fan of the PPC (obviously), and would love to eventually write my own PPC Agents.
*sips coffee*
I have one question: how can I adopt a mini-balrog? (though I really would like a mini-baragog.)
*sips coffee*
Want some coffee? I have lots of virtual coffee.
*sips virtual coffee*
See? Smell the exquisite 1s and 0s.
*sips coffee*
Can someone give me a plover? Or a pet Boromir? *drools* Pleeeeaseeee, preeety pleeeeeeeeeeaseeee. I'll treat them very well.
*sips coffee, drools about Boromir*
Ahhhhh.
*sips coffee, slaps face*
Sorry about that. On a more sane tangent, I'd like to recommend a Legendary Goodfic. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but this fic fits all the criteria. I'm recommending "The Skipper" by LinzRW.
*sips coffee, clears throat*
Now, the criteria... It'll be five years old in December. I turned up four results about the fanfiction itself on the first two Google pages when I searched "the skipper fanfiction," plus an additional three hits for the author's blog. It is the second most reviewed Lord of the Rings fanfiction on FF.net, with 3,988 reviews (and 1,010 faves!). Lastly (bonus!), if you search "Ana Stonbit fanart" you will get a good deal of results; heck, I searched for fanart of her weapon and got a result.
*tries to sip coffee and realizes that he's out, cries*
She is also *sob* the opposite of a *sob, hic* Mary-Sue.
*finds and sips hot chocolate*
If you hadn't noticed, I ramble. I also don't know when or how to stop. So, bye? -

Here's some popcorn and, since you're so interested, Borromior the mini-Balrog! He likes bacon, raw eggs, and fangirls. Nice to see someone else giving Boromir some love. :)

Unless you are Cassie Cameron-Young in disguise, you can't actually hand out mini-Balrogs. Sorry. Cassie is keeping that list. (And incidentally, Borromior is not on it. Where'd he come from?)
Unless she deputized you and I missed it?

Welcome! Re. adopting minis... by

I've recently been working with this very information, and every mini article on the wiki should have information about how to adopt that mini in its infobox. For a lot of them it's just "try asking on the Board," but in the case of mini-Balrogs, there is actually an adoption center! You should ask there; or if that fails, try cassie.dramateacher at gmail dot com.
Now, I'm not sure if you meant to say you also want a mini-Aragog or if you were being silly and/or looking for some sort of terrifying Balrog x Acromantula hybrid. I can help with the former, but not so much with the latter. ^_~

Oh my GOSH! It's THE Neshomeh!
Actually, there was a Balrog x Acromantula hybrid in HFA. I'm assuming it's the result of misspelling a character's name in a crossover fic. I was wondering if there were more...
Thanks for answering my question. -

Welcome to the PPC, fellow LotR fan! How is it at Awesomeness Central? My newbie gift to you--an urple ocarina! And some wilver earmuffs. For the noise.
I'm actually familiar with that fic. I'm not up to writing an in-depth analysis of it in regards to Legendary status at the moment, but such a thread should be made, and I will comment on it.

EEEEEE!!! URPLE! It SOUNDS so urple!! Thanks for the earmuffs, they're quite unfortunately necessary.
Everything is perfectly fine at Awesomeness Central ;), apart from the urple noise (it's fast become my Plovermir's favorite toy *shudders*) .
So glad you like "The Skipper." -

You have come to the right place, my friend. For as a professional gift giver and part-time reverse thief, I can fulfil both your requests!
Huzzah!
So, I present to you: Plovermir!
What do you have to say to our newbie and your new best friend, Plovermir?
'AAAAAAAAAAHHH'
Oh, charming! Anything else?
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH'
How cuuuuuute! Do you have anything else to say?
'I AM A CRIME AGAINST NATURE'
Awwwww!
What a sweetie!
And since it seems like nobody else has asked: what're your fandoms?
Well, I mean, other than the extensive Plovermir fandom, home to one of the largest communities on the internet. Other than that, what're your fandoms?
And - welcome!
And, yes, those 1s and 0s are, indeed, exquisite. I have never smelt a 1 or an 0 more exquisite than these particular ones. And 0s. -

He's heartbreaking, he's so cute, the little critter!
As a fine fellow who is largely unversed in The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and any of the Generic Fandoms (I've been trying to get into 6, I swear!) I can safely say we have essentially no fandom crossover. Other than those two times I read The Hobbit.
Or was it three times? Or fifty-seven?
Er. Bad at math.
But, yes, those were an absolutely brilliant one-hundred and thirty-eight reads, they were!
If there's a book out there with a soul, it's The Hobbit.
And Bilbo, mate. Don't get enough characters like him.
Or, well. I don't read enough characters of that type. -
Which fandoms are you in? by

I agree about Bilbo, and The Hobbit in general.
I forgot to mention that I'm also in the Septimus Heap, Shannara, Redwall, Dragonlance, and Inheritance fandoms. -

Those books held up pretty well, last time I gave them a read. I've got fond memories of them, and while they're on the highest shelf with things I don't read often, I do still have the five I own out. Looks like three of them are hardcover.

That there's a lot of fandoms the PPC is drowning in, that is!*
I reckon you'll do well here, then, oy?
That there's also a lot of fandoms I'm not part of, but that's besides the point!
My fandoms are very small, rather obscure and, frankly, probably rubbish.
Also, were you asking about my fandoms?
If so, thank you very much!
This feels a bit like I'm a carpenter and one of my clients has just come over to my house out of nowhere and installed the wooden outdoors toilet.
Assuming that's the case, anyhow.
If it's not the case, I suppose I'll just follow nature's calls indoors.
*Keep your grain of salt a-ready, for not only am I rather dumb and unobservant with a bad memory, but estimation is technically a part of maths, and I am therefore rubbish at it.
But, I swear, at least three of that four have other people knocking around following them.
Dunno if we got Inheritance people here. Perhaps! -

Chill with the coffee, bruh... gurrl... guurl-bruh...
I unfortunately have no knowledge on every formality you need to adopt a mini (OY, NOTARY, WHICH FORM WAS IT AGAIN!?)... and I don't have any plovers on me... I can offer a barrel of Industrial Sprinkles? (Which are probably edible...)
As for the recommendations, cool your jets there and wait until it hits the required five years, okay? Okay!
And besides that... I guess welcome? :P
By the way, I am probably gonna call you AC, just because Jay would be confusing withOur Lady and FounderJay Thorntree. -

You can totally call me AC, I had a feeling someone would bring up the name similarity.
