Subject: Ooh, what novels?

I love one-off novels, especially ones that need more fanfic (not that I would help write fanfic for them, but I'd join you in bemoaning the lack of it :P). All my fandoms are tiny and underficced (with the rather notable exception of Star Trek: TOS)(and I think A Series of Unfortunate Events is in the beginnings of a fanfic explosion thanks to the new Netflix series. . . I'm terrified).

So three years ago I posted here under the name "lightdarkpheonix" for a while, obtained Permission and then began but never finished a sporking of the fic Life of Cristancia.
It is now three years later and I kind of miss the PPC but have no idea how to return.
So uh, hello!
I'm going to give you a present now. Because I can. Deal with it. Accept my kindness. You cannot prevent me from being kind to you.
Your present: a full set of dice! They come in all your favorite shapes: d3/4, d6, d8, 2d10 (your probability dice), d12, and a d20. The pattern is yours to choose! Do be mindful of when, how, and most importantly why you use them, though - dice have been known to have... certain amounts of power, when placed in the right (or wrong, as the case may be) hands.
Anyway, welcome back! Here's a mechanical pencil and an extra box of lead!
I have an odd sense of humor.
Please have a bag of black-hole chocolates and a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse. Really hope you're back to stay.
Anyways, welcome bac to the madhouse.
Since I don't think I've given you a newbie gift before, have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!
these should go well with the fishing pole i got last time.
How thoughtless of me! Have an invitation to the live chat on Discord: https://discord.gg/HatcBnQ
I'm not actually on right now, since I have an essay to write, but they seem to be having a lot of fun. Looks like a dramatic badfic reading.
Thank you. I shall use this bookmark faithfully
I never actually posted any missions, and I am very embarassed by those agents in general, so that's probably for the best. But I think the wiki page I made under my old name is still up (oh god).
Spin-off of what? If you mean Sherlock Holmes than probably either elementary or the short story A Study in Emerald.
What a wondrous device!
Oh whoops. Uh. It's honestly been a while, which I should correct, but the stories with the characters who are all minor characters played by the same actor were could.
I'm very tired right now so more specifics will come in the morning. I also don't know where to begin, now that I've returned. There's just so much and I'd like a list of what order would be best to read them.
Also, hi. I should probably say that. I do remember your old username, if only vaguely. Welcome back!
For the links, I have a list of spin-offs I like specifically for occasions like this. You don't have to read them in any particular order, though starting with the introductory ones is probably a good idea. Enjoy! {= )

I definitely remember you! You seemed pretty cool, if terrifyingly impressive (which described how I viewed all the oldbies, ngl)
THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT IS VERY USEFUL :D

Welcome back, returnbie. Please have this piece of music as a welcome-back gift.
I think my post noticeable achievement was nearly having no permission because I had an agent who collected Sue hair samples. And otherwise was Sherlock!Moriarty!Edgy
Whoops.
Fandoms: Harry Potter, RWBY, Discworld, random one off novels that I wish had more fanfic, too many tv shows, Sherlock Holmes (all of them)
I fear the remnants of my attempt at a mission still little some pages so I'm going to go uh-- deal with that.
Eventually.

A club for people who have fandoms that exist only in theory!
We can all gather on Fridays in a clubhouse, and sit around and awkwardly look at each other, because we don't know anyone else's fandoms!
But that sounds nice
There are so many books that deserve so much more love.
(I would look it up, but the computer I'm on is too slow to load the wiki. I think they only had a couple missions, anyway.)
The Sub-department of Rare Fandoms doesn't have its own wiki page yet, but there certainly could be if anyone were interested in making one! There are actually quite a lot of missions, but most of them are by just one person, for just a handful of fandoms, many of which aren't actually all that rare, now that I look at it. I dunno how much lore there is about the actual division, either. If you delve into it, good luck!
~Neshomeh
I probably will look into the lore -- if I ever get around to writing missions, they will for sure be for tiny, tiny fandoms.
I feel like if I tried to write missions now it would either be for excruciating Sherlock Holmes stuff (I am a slash shipper and some of the H/W stuff is just. Painful) or, alternatively, THAT ONE REALLY BAD ARCADIA FIC I FOUND (arcadia is a play)
I'm generally a slash shipper too, and while I'm not heavily into Sherlock Holmes, I'm familiar enough with the canon (read a good chunk of the original short stories, saw a fair piece of the new show) that I know there is a lot of H/W out there, and as the maxim goes, 90% of it is crud.
(I need to go refamiliarize myself with a decent version of Irene Adler, the greatest Sherlock Holmes that wasn't written by a certain Mr. Moffat.)
Thank you and you're welcome.:origin()/pre08/a7e2/th/pre/f/2011/029/8/0/if_i_was_to_ever____by_surfer_draik-d38cgaw.png)
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING ASOUF BECAUSE ONE OF THE TINY THINGS I WAS THINKING OF WAS "ALL THE WRONG QUESTIONS" WHICH IS A SERIES ABOUT LEMONY SNICKET AS A CHILD
Okay. Ahem.
The book The Manual of Detection.
Agatha Christie novels (and then they were none)
Honestly despite being way older than the main character ATWQ is amazing just for the descriptions.
I read Vermeer and the mysterious Benedict society (including the prequel) and some of the name of this book is secret-- when the time travel happened I got very confused.
Do you remember the settings heap books?
WE HAVE MORE SEPTIMUS HEAP FANS HERE?
All those years of futile searching kind of killed the joy. But good, you have something in common with periferal! Help make him love us so he doesn't fall prey to Disappearing Newbie Syndrome!
(I should probably greet newbies and returnbies more often.)
Welcome (back) aBoard! I don't think I was here when you were active in the PPC, but it's nice to see you here! c:
Anyway, have this... I'm not sure what this is. Don't look at it for too long, just to be safe. And do not pay attention to the singing.
Thank you?
I still have that fishing pole someone gave me the first time around I wonder if that will...
Oh god, you weren't kidding about the singing were you
I remember you, too! Have this plate of welcome-back SPaGhetti!
I remember your user vaguely but mostly what I remember is being kind of an edgelord. Sigh.
Also should I do the listing of fandoms thing because they've changed some.
