I don't remember seeing that post, so I honestly didn't know you had an issue with the site. (Nor did I know you had a bad experience with it...)
I could have said nothing, but I figured it would be better to just come out and admit it than not to say anything at all.
That being said, I really feel bad about this, as I did not realize there was a problem.
It came to my attention a few hours ago that against my desires one of my works was linked on TvTropes, which as this community historically knows makes it impossible to remove anything from once it's been added to their site.
Thanks for enforcing your claim to my existence against my will and continuing to force the connection to this community on me, especially considering this was posted to that site well after you as a group went out of your way to lead a witchhunt on me, dox me, and do your best to destroy my reputation and ruin my life in general.
I'm so displeased about this I don't even have the words to properly put it down via keyboard.
I'm declaring all of my works out of continuity immediately, removing everything I can personally access, and expect all articles and links on the wiki and elsewhere to be appropriately purged.
July obviously has the right to request this, as would any other current or former PPCer (though heaven help us if Jay or Acy ever try it...!).
The Wiki pages for all of July's characters that I can see (three agents, plus four kids) have been wiped back to their ledes and marked as Out-of-Continuity (someone had already done this, I'm not claiming all the credit). The level of deletion is by specific request elsewhere.
I've also removed mention of July and Library from the Coffee Lounge and Nurse Asclepius' pages; as free-to-use concepts, they remain around, but without their sources.
I won't be removing mentions from other agents' pages (they worked with Trojie and Pads, for instance), but anything that is solo July is removed.
I will be poking through the various pages linking to missions when I get a chance to try and remove them.

The link mentionned was on the Awesome page of the PPC, and I tried to remove it, explaining it was very much unwanted. We'll see if this holds.
July... Are you sure the person who created this link was a member of the PPC? I mean, editing a Tv Tropes page isn't something limited to the members of a community tied to the subject of the pages, Random Fan can happen, and I'd like to know how you have known it was a member of the community who posted this link? I tried to search for the pseudo (The Otaku Ninja) used by the troper, and I didn't see any signs linking this pseudo to someone here on the wiki, the Board or the Discord.
I'm the Otaku Ninja over on Tv Tropes (I have multiple handles across the internet, I guess I just got into the habit.)
I'm surprised July doesn't want it on there, but if I need to, I will remove the offending section. I didn't realize it would be an issue. I apologize for any harm done.

When the first parts originally went up, someone brought up linking it on TvTropes. I said no, because I don't like the website for a variety of reasons.
While I understand you might not have seen that request when it happened, you still went a step further by linking it on said website after I had been victimized and ran out of this community, which is still a serious point of contention for me.
The current corner of the internet I spend time in has former PPCers of all stripes and people who know about the PPC in it, and there have been moments of 'Oh aren't you y', which happens, especially if you've been using the same handle as long as I have (roughly sixteen years). Having it happen from someone who isn't a current or former PPCer except for reading things only off of TvTropes and is still under the assumption I am still part of your community is not great.
My posting this was not intended to set off drama or anything else. As a content creator I have the right to remove my works and expect requests to have them removed respected. I didn't want to quietly remove them only for them to go right back up.
I don't care if people keep their own private offline copies or share them via email, but I am still removing what I can online to further distance myself, since it's been shown that letting my PPC works just be is not the option I would prefer it to be.
That said, thank you for standing up and admitting you were the person who added it to the TvTropes website. It would have been very easy to not admit to anything at all.
