When I say obscure, I’m talking “throwaway line in book probably no-one else has read”. So I’m not expecting anyone to get it. And I’m not telling, either. *evil laugh* Well, not yet, anyway.
There was a tumblr post that brought me here and I was like "PPC"...that sounds so familiar?
WHOA. I was "Leelee" on the board and was in the "Troll-Slaying Division". I also cannot believe I have my own wikia page???
Thanks for the blast from the past. My mind is blown right now.
Have some return chocolate and enjoy your stay!
Have a suit of used Imperial Guard flak armor, guaranteed for life.(Average life expectancy of deployed guardsman: 15 hours)
Have a magical device which, when installed correctly into a standard-issue clothes dryer, will send your socks ten minutes into the future.
(Anyone get the obscure reference? No, I didn't think so.)
I didn’t actually watch it. (I would need a German dub to understand people talking, or a script to read what they are saying.) This guess is entirely based on poking into Mark Watches to get more of the pop culture references I usually don’t get.

The Board archives place me here in 2004 at least, and your name rings a vague bell - hi! It seems that a lot of us oldbies are coming back right now.
Glad we can appease~
Please feel free to poke about the Board!
/offers you chocolate bark of any flavor of your choice.
I wrote the current version of that wiki page! Glad you don't disapprove. {= D
I don't know if you'd remember much from back then, or would have any bits of writing still hanging around on a computer, but as one of our self-appointed historians, I'd love to hear anything you've got. There are a few things about the Troll Division that weren't quite established, such as what Fixie Dust and Grapnades are, and how "sunning" a troll actually worked, and it's not every day you get to talk to a primary source. Plus, I like the one Troll Division story there is a lot, and I wish there had been more. ^_^

I totally approve! I don't really have any of that info anymore- I just remember it was a collaborative piece between the three of us. I still do have my, oof, pretty bad fanfic up that is mentioned in the story "Legolas and the Mermaid". It's on fanfic.net under "Leelee5" (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1152199/1/The-Mermaid-and-Legolas)
I think I sent this story into a contest, which is what led me to the PPC? I know I then migrated to God Awful Fanfiction website, which had an easier message board system for me to follow.
I was using AOL back in 2003, which never saved group chat or emails, so sadly, I just don't have the info. Nothing dramatic happened between the authors, I think we just all went our separate ways.
Hehe, I'll have to read the fic at some point. Funfun. ^_^
We have heard from Saphie occasionally over the years. Unless it was Andy sometimes. I believe they're still working together, and eventually plan to publish a book based on the (heavily tweaked) concept of "Suedom."
I've just remembered I have a link to Saphie's blog, and I should remember this more often, because wow, I like what she has to say!
~Neshomeh may be telling you something you already know?
I'm eatpraylove, and I haven't been nearly active enough to be the resident anything of the Board. Glad you found your way back to us! *gives popcorn*
I'm Twistey. I need not say much about myself because you'll get to know me soon enough. Here, have a very flat flamethrower.

I'm Iximaz—the Board's resident nutcase. I was just starting kindergarden when you were around. Nice to meet you!
[Squee] Hi, Oldbie!
The Board archives (over here) place you as early as January 2003, which in PPC terms is well old. Looking through the lists of names from back then is like looking at mythology: "And lo, in those days was Otik the Progenitor incarnate in the Board, and the twin dragons Saph and Leo did walk beside Suzine the Magnificent; yea, and even did Leelee and Saphie bestride the Board like Colossi."
hS
I was 23 in 2003, so i am WELL OLD now, haa. Reading through all this is like dusting off some really old memories. Thanks for the nice greetings! :D
