Welcome aBoard! Have this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!

If you haven't yet read them, may I point you towards the Original Series and the Constitution? They're pretty much the only required reading around these parts. Another useful resource you might use is Reply Return to messages


  • A wandering newbie approaches! by on 2017-08-31 00:00:00 UTC Reply

    Hi, I'm Blackwing (obviously!), and I think this whole fanfiction thing is pretty cool! I haven't ever written any, but I really enjoy reading them. So far my favorite fandoms for stories are Steven Universe, Dresden Files, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.

    I was honestly just gonna lurk for another week or two until I got a feeling for you guys, but a friend linked me to something I thought you guys would enjoy. So, I'm sure people here have heard of the whole fiasco with the Handbook for Mortals YA novel (which among other things, has no YA protagonists), and the theory that it was written by the infamous author of My Immortal? Well, she revived her old fictionpress account just to debunk that myth! Also to say thanks for keeping her story alive this long, etc. You can see that here: https://www.fictionpress.com/u/518933/XXXblodyblaktearz666XXX

      Have a brownie with NM&NMs in it! Those are a specific variety of M&Ms unique to headquarters made with Bleepolate; chocolate, brain bleach, and aspirin. I know it sounds gross, but it works and it makes badfic hurt less. Here's a wiki link if you don't believe me: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Bleeprin

      Enjoy your stay in the madhouse!

      Aside from one of my own shed feathers, have a replica of Rose Quartz's sword and a working Flask Robonoid!

    • A wild newbie appeared! Go, Pikachu! by on 2017-09-01 00:31:00 UTC Reply

      (Or maybe not Pikachu. Probably a Ghost, Poison, Dark, or Steel type instead. I like that vibe they have.)

      Hey there! I'm Twistey, an uberchaotic neutral lightly-used-bie who is pretty good most of the time and then occasionally does something unexpected, shocking, and kinda stupid. Yeah... probably shouldn't put that on my introduction to the newbie. But hey, it's a good warning. My fandoms are very many: when it's got good world-building and/or it's a tad bit offensive in a fun way, or when it's completely worthy of mocking or I have something to MST about it, you can bet I'll have made at least one OC for it.

      Interesting news you bring about the My Immortal author! Judging by the post she made, she has definitely cleaned up her act, which I applaud. Maybe somebody should take advantage of that Tumblr account she has to send her the sporking we did of My Immortal - she might find it humorous.

      As for your newbie gift, hmm, let's see. Here, have several large pieces of naturally sky-blue metal, only found in and around the Wolfenstein 3D fandom. Do whatever you want with them. Make a cool contraption. Make art. Use your imagination! :D

      Anyway, nice to meet you! I hope you find us great and have a good time as a Protector of the Plot Continuum!

    • Wander, wander as well, come here for a present first! by on 2017-08-31 13:03:00 UTC Reply

      Since tomorrow's Aidil Adha. Here, have a replica of Buras pretending it's a Lembas. Be warned, it's made of glutinous rice and wrapped in banana leaves though.

    • Hello newbie and fellow DF fan. by on 2017-08-31 11:45:00 UTC Reply

      Since you have already chocolates, please have some black-hole coffee.

    • Hi there by on 2017-08-31 08:58:00 UTC Reply

      Have a pile of multi-coloured pens.

    • Hello newbie! by on 2017-08-31 03:42:00 UTC Reply

      Here, have some chocolate-on-chocolate cupcakes!

    • FOOF! A Sorcerer appears! --more-- by on 2017-08-31 02:46:00 UTC Reply

      'Allo, fellow newbie! I am the Mighty Sorcerer Thoth. And by mighty I mean... not mighty. At all. But there's an 85% chance I don't worship the Dark Gods. So that's good. Here, take a Bolter and a flask of Fenrisian Ale.

      I too enjoy The Dresden Files, although I haven't read any good fanfic in that universe (got any recommendations?). Anyways, go read goodfic (For PPC stuff, I suggest starting with TOS and Tales From DOGA), and be sure to stop by the Discord. Don't worry: We don't bite. Unless you poke us.

      Welcome, welcome! You get a history of my dog's past lives. Treasure it, use it wisely, use it as part of a stepladder, whatever. Just don't let it come into contact with badgers. You've been warned.

    • A wandering... um. by on 2017-08-31 02:25:00 UTC Reply

      What exactly am I here? I mean, everyone seems to be assuming I'm human, but... well, we have a fox and a psandwich. Am I an, an Ohgodwhat?

      At any rate, a wandering Calliope appears! She offers you a set of roleplaying dice for your Newbie Gift. She also extends a invitation to a party at some point in the future and... that is an interesting color of ink. Oh, gods, what is it even called? You're pretty sure it's either bled or rue. Or some other unholy cousin of urple.

      ((The dice are whatever color and pattern you want the to be. What are they?))
