Congrats for introducing yourself, you say you help out children, so have never-ending apples! Unless you don't like apples... then, have a welcome cake!
Hope you end up having a fun time here at the PPC! Not all of us bite.
Hey, I'm R. Longtime stalker, first time talker, I suppose, although reading through the Original Series, a few spin offs, clicking through the wiki, and then forgetting the PPC even exists for a year (repeat the cycle at least three times, stir, and bake at 350 degrees for optimum results) makes less a "longtime stalker" and more an "intermittent fan" I suppose.
I'm a fan of quite a lot of things, overly wordy introductions to hide anxieties and unnecessarily complicated humor notwithstanding. As far as fandoms go, the brief (well, briefer) list goes: Marvel (comics focused, but also the shows and movies as well), Star Trek, Doctor Who (Classic Series, New Series, Torchwood, Scream of the Shalka, the Gallifrey audio series, I'm in far too deep please help me), Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Homestuck, Stargate, Highlander (the TV series, although I do like the movies), Dragonriders of Pern, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Steven Universe, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun, Avatar: the Last Airbender, the Librarians, and Dungeons and Dragons.
What else do you put in an introduction other than fandoms. Uh, I work as a kind of writing mentor to young (mostly eleven to thirteen year old) children, so my tolerance of bad spelling and grammar is simultaneously much harsher than others and also very high? That's enough interesting facts about me for the day.
The PPC has always been a hilarious fallback for me when bored and wanting characterization-focused heavy violence, and while I'm hoping to end up writing, mostly I kind of just want to hang out, make friends (?), and read good fic.
Please take this bag of black-hole chocolates, and my welcome.
Hope you're here to stick around.
Welcome to the board! For your gift, have a... I'm actually not quite sure what to give you since we share exactly 0 fandoms. Anyways, here, have a generic object that can be anything you want it to be, within reason.
Great that you finally introduced yourself! Have an infinity-sided die. And a police scanner.
Aside from one of my own shed feathers, have some working replicas of Rose Quartz's sword (complete with a replica scabbard), Aang's airbending staff (like a portable hang glider!), the Golden Snitch (which actually flies), Captain America's shield (FRISBEEEE), and the One Ring (all the invisibility without the curses of the real thing!)

Have two cents, so you can put them into a discussion later!
(Also, you don't happen to do stats, do you?)

R is a programming language meant for doing statistics with.

I do like statistics, although I’ve never gotten past introductory level stuff. There’s just something really nice about a good set of data, especially with properly made graphs.
Hey there R! I'm Twistey, a lightly-used-bie and all-around world creator currently working on my Newgrounds debut. I have too many fandoms - from Wolfenstein 3D to MLP:FIM and tons of things in between (but I'm pretty sure that's the range of masculinity/femininity in my tastes, no further outwards.) I am also very passionate about learning how to write well and teaching others writing stuff.
But enough about me, how about you? What aspects of writing and the PPC do you most like (maybe clarify what "characterization-focused heavy violence" means?) and what type of stuff do you want to write here? Do you have any notable original works or fanfic? How about agent ideas? I'm excited to know more! :)
Finally, for your newbie gift, here's a mix of stuff from my original worlds: a skateboarding helmet and knee pads with the same design as one of the default characters in my tabletop RPG project "Alleys and Aliens", a brooch pin for the Shock Battalion or "Shockers" from my newest story "The Year the Sky Fell", this impressive-looking replica of the bow wielded by a prominent antagonist of my shared-continuum story "Wings", and a plain red hoodie like the one worn by the protagonist of my WIP fairy-tale-themed puzzle game "Little Red". For the most accuracy to the character, tie the sleeves around your neck and wear it as a hoodie-cape. Distribute them among your agents and yourself as you desire, and if you want pictures of the stuff I gave you, I can draw some.
Anyway, nice to meet you! Have a great time here and welcome to the PPC!

Thank you so much for those gifts, they sound awesome.
I haven’t started published very much of my finished writing, but there’s fanfiction of various qualities floating around. Mostly I slowly work on some original fiction novels - an Arabian Nights/Arthurian Legend fusion, and a fairy tale trope reversal thing.
I’ve got a few ideas for agents, although they aren’t yet fully formed. The idea of a fanfiction writer from within a fandom universe. I’d definitely like to write Marvel - there’s so much there. So much really bad fanfic.
Why I like PPC- it’s a mix, I suppose, between how much I adore character-driven stories, how fun MST3K style commentary can be, and, yeah, all the fun, creative ways people have found to kill sues.
(Trope reversals FTW)

Here, have some chocolate and enjoy your stay!
And don't worry, we don't bite... much.
Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
I see you've already read the Original Series, so just in case you haven't seen it yet, have a link to the Constitution.
It looks like we've got a lot of fandoms in common! Hope you decide to stick around. :P
