Though the question remains, if we are the majority, are we really the mad ones or those who call themselves "normal"? Don't mind me, I get philosophical from timw to time. Thanks for the gift!
Have two cents, so you can put them into discussions.

Here's a tote bag with your Overwatch main!
Please have a pot of black-hole coffee. Welcome here, hope you'll like the madhouse.

Welcome to the board! Here, have a replica of Murasame from Akame ga Kill. It can't do a one hit kill, but it's still very sharp.
Have an araucaria cone! I don't think have anything in any language other than English, although if there were people willing to maintain content in other languages, there's no reason we couldn't/
Have some SPAGhetti- for help with your writing! I received your audition for the Musical, by the way, and I'm gonna listen to it tonight when I have time. Thanks!
Have a pile of multi coloured pens.
First of all, let me say welcome, and please take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
As far as I know, most PPCers speak English only, though I do know of one instance where an Italian Boarder tackled one of his old badfics that was written in Italian and was translated into English for those of us who don't speak Italian. If you wanted to translate missions, with their authors' permission, maybe you could do something similar?
Anyway, I hope you decide to stick around!
As for the Spanish thing, I think that, for a non-English speaker to understand the PPC, I would have to translate not only the Original Series, but also at least some of the Wiki articles and spin-offs, and I'm not that confident in my English yet nor do I have the time right now, though I would like to do something to make it more available eventually. Thanks again!
Your English certainly seems pretty excellent to me. Had you not said, I would've assumed you were a native speaker. =]
My problems are more with vocabulary, I tend to stick to the same group of words. Word puzzles and typical expressions are hell for me, and I could never tell apart British English from American (in writings) if my life depended on it (say; flat versus appartment, mate, the only examples I know. No, actually, gotta and got to, since I always mess those two up in English class). It means a lot though, specially coming from a Boarder.
The best way to improve your vocabulary in any language? Just hurl yourself into it. Finding out what words mean is a deep joy of mine, and it's always fun to find words in one language that express a concept it'd take several words in one's own language to express. =]
I am currently into Kuroko no Basuke, Game of Thrones, Re:Creators, and a bit of Arslan Senki. Manga-only, there's also Historie and Vinland Saga. Do you write fanfics or just read them?
Oh, and here's a gift for you, a nylon replica of Gae Bolg. You are supposed to launch it with your left foot, but be prepared to be disappointed.
Right now Yamada-kun, Arslan Senki too, but only the anime, and Overwatch. I'm also obsessed with Hamilton and DEH, but it's more of a constant state.
I've written some one-shots mainly in the Potterverse but it's been a while since I've published something (and now they just make me cringe). I'm currently planning on rewriting an abandonded long fic of mine but in the meantime I'm just playing with some original stuff.
A Kuroko no Basuke and Mount and Blade crossover. It is quite a challenge. I have to rearrange the characters around to keep their relationships canon to the manga and anime. And then there's a ton, and I mean A TON of characters in M&B, and I can't fit them all in without feeling it was shoehorned.
What was the fandom of your old fic? Is it Potterverse? And good luck with original stuff. For some reason I can't make new original stories.
I've never attempted one myself, it's so hard to get them right and not end up with OOC or something like that, good luck! I know the bare minimum about them, but they do seem complicated to to integrate.
Yep, it was set in the Third Generation, since it gave me more freedom to introduce my plot (even though the writing is questionable, I've always liked to keep my stories in a Could Actually Happen scenario so at least it was faithful to canon) but then the Cursed Child came, so I guess it's an AU now.
But not placing characters in them can make you bore easily. That is why I do crossovers. I also want to do crackfics, but it always end up making me uncomfortable instead of laughing.
