Hey there! I'm Twistey, an amateur game dev/writer/etc and lightly-used-bie. I have lots of fandoms, OCs, and original worlds. I tend to focus on gauging the Sueness of characters and the levels of social responsibility in stories (ignoring stuff that's the fun kind of incorrect, like Wolfenstein 3D.) I am really active on the Board on the weekends and other days when I'm not busy all day.
But enough about me, how about you? What are your fandoms? Do you have any prominent pieces of writing? Any agent ideas? What do you plan to do here? I'd love to know more! :D
Finally, for your newbie gift, here's a replica of the Spear of Destiny from the Wolfenstein 3D sequel (ish) of the same name. Give it to your virtual self or your agents and it'll look impressive anywhere! (Sadly, you can't summon demons with it. Giving a newbie the real Spear of something that actually functions akin to the real Spear would be bad.)
Nice to meet you! I hope you have a great time here and welcome to the PPC!

Hi! Welcome to the board! I'm - well, you know who I am, it's right there above the subject. In any case, I read a lot of fanfic, mainly bad ones because they make me laugh. I am currently working on an original world that I discovered hidden in my google drive. So, for your newbie gift, have a piece of eden from Assassins Creed, It could be whichever one you want. If you don't know Assassins Creed lore, it defaults to the Apple of Eden.

Thanks for the chocolate!
I learned of the PPC through TvTropes, got directed to the wiki, and I started reading. Now I'm joining because it seems like fun. -

Greetings, Newbie! I trust you've made yourself comfortable. I'm Thoth, man with an unnecessarily pretentious username.
Take some Fenrisian ale (and grab some Klatchian coffee while you're at it: they seem to neutralize one another), and your choice of book from the libraries of Prospero (slightly singed).
Anyways, fandoms? I already know you're 40k, but anything else? Also, anything beyond fandoms you want to tell us about yourself? -

Hey Thoth, every time I see the term "FOOF" I can't help but think "Dioxygen Difluoride" and chuckle a little bit.
(Oh yeah. I got Neocities up and running, finally)

You have out-nerded me! Explain what that is? by

(Also, in case anyone's confused, I don't mean "nerd" in a derogatory manner, it's just meant as a joke, kinda poking fun at those who do use it as an insult.)

See, I was going for ADVENT (xyzzy), so you've out-nerded me here...
Twistey, Leaf is referencing the Pentium F00F Bug, aka F00FC7C8, akalock cmpxchg8b eax, aka the Pentium Hang Bug. It's famous bug in the P5 architecture that allows any program on the system to halt the CPU, causing the system to hang until it's restarted. -

You're right about 40k, I also used to be really into Star Wars, though that's lessened a lot now. Other than that I just jump around to whatever happens to catch my interest.
I also have a pet budgy and a pet turtle. It's not very relevant, but I think it's interesting -

Out of curiosity, do you do Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/DeathWatch? Dark Heresy occupies a special spot in my heart, since even though I'm not as big on 40k as I used to be, Dark Heresy was the way I got into it in the first place.

No, unfortunately not. I just don't know anyone in my area who's interested in them. Otherwhise I'd be all over it.
