I made my first post just before you, but I didn't feel established on the board yet so I didn't welcome you. I apologize. Have a tribble. If you don't know, they're cute fluffy Trekverse creatures. Just don't feed it.
Hi! I'm Apricot. My sister hermione of vulcan introduced herself on here a little while ago, and I figured I should too, since I am also a big fan. I got here the same way she did: lurking around your wiki. I hate finding badfic while looking for goodfic and I love humor, so the PPC suits my tastes!
Have some cookies in preparation for hallow's eve. Even if you don't particularly participate in the 'trick and treat'ing, take them as a token from one member to another.
Yes, Halloween is in a couple days. I may trick-or-treat. Thanks for the cookies!
Hello and welcome to the PPC! I'm sure you already heard the spiel form everyone else, so I'll just get right down to your gift. *Rummages around in large sack* Aha! Here, have a witch's hat, just in time for Halloween!
Thanks for the hat, though this year I'm being an Elven maiden. Yes, from Lord of the Rings.
Hey look, a really late person has arrived! It's sad, I'm usually first to greet the newbies and pile important links into their inbox or whatever you may call it. All the same, welcome a-Board the good ship PPC, where the goodfic is the fish, the badfic is the sharks, and the PPCers are those crazy shark hunting people you see on the Discovery Channel (That's depending on whether or not you watch the Discovery Channel. If you don't, equate us to slightly insane people armed with words.) To welcome you into our ranks, I present an unlimited fruit basket to go with your fruity name. If it starts overflowing, the fruit makes a good target it you're looking to practice your harpoon throwing skills.
I feel very welcomed, thank you. Yes, I watch Discovery Channel. Not a lot, but I get what you're saying. Oh, and fruit is delicious. Wait, doesn't that mean I want to eat myself?
Glad KittyNoodles and I aren't the only one.
Greetings, fruit of refreshing taste! I come bearing the gift of one (1) Defending Magister staff, and one (1) jar of bleepolate chip cookies.
Enjoy!
(Oh, and Defending Magister automatically generates a magic shield, so keep it around - goodness knows you'll need it.)
Thanks for the Defending Magister. It'll definitely prove itself useful at some point. And bleepolate cookies sound good, too.
A slightly belated hello to you, Apricot! Here, have a sentient towel. Now you'll never be sort-of-dry again, because it'll keep drying you 'til you're all dry!
Hopefully it doesn't gain the evil ability to learn, because it may kill you in the event that it becomes dissatisfied with being a towel...
Thanks for the sentient towel...I think. He's probably getting bored with being a towel. Thanks, anyway. I'm not using him as a towel anymore; he's my new pet.
/trying to behave and not make a Sméagol joke...
/or a Dobby joke, for that matter...
Welcome! Have a jaunty hat.
Thanks for the hat. I like hats.
Have a thermos filled with [caffeinated beverage of your choice].
Thanks for the thermos. IntelligentAirhead gave me an Awake, a cute cuddly creature which feeds on caffeine. Since I don't don't drink caffeinated beverages(I have enough energy as is!) I gave it to my Awake, which is now very happy. So, thanks again.
Sorry, I couldn't resist, with me officially being a soldier and all. Anyway, hi there! Since other people didn't do so, I point you toward the Constitution, which is an important read, and the IRC channel, where people sometimes hang around (links on top of the Board). You already, it seems, know TOS and the wiki, so no need to point you there.
Last but not least, a gift: a pack of carnivorous tea leaves. The tea is good (if extremely bitter); just don't let the leaves eat you.
Hi. I read the Constitution, and there's nothing there I will have trouble following. I don't flame and I'm never mean.
The tea is very good, once I got it stop biting me.
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay! So, what fandoms are you into?
Yum, chocolate. I don't think one can never go wrong with that.
Let's see, I like Star Trek, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the Big Bang Theory.
Hi, have some fudge!
:: bookmarks OFAS link :: Do you need any more students? The backstory of one of my agents involves a friend who attended a Trekverse OFU and relapsed into Suethor.
Thanks for the fudge!
OFAS could always use more students. Actually, hermione of vulcan just got your application. Let's just say she got really excited. So thanks again!
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. The secret to its reality-bending properties, you say? It has one extra electron in its s-orbital!
Maybe I'm getting a little too into chemistry.
It's cool that you have a scientific explanation for why the water is afraid of itself. Thanks!
Got your PM on FFN, so I thought I'd drop by and wave hello in your general direction!
And have a graduated cylinder! For a limited time I have 'em in the colours of the university of your choice. :'D
Here is your cute and cuddly Awake, free of charge! /cue ominous music
Okay, Awakes aren't that bad... They just self-replicate constantly if you don't pump them full of caffeine. So, have yourself a little ambiguous blob made of sheer adrenaline.
Thanks for the Awake. It's a lot like a tribble. I'll make sure to give it lot's of caffeine and keep it nice and happy.
Thanks for joining the board. It means I'm not the newest newbie anymore! Have some dice and a character sheet. You never know when you want to start a game of D&D.
I made my first post just before you, but I didn't feel established on the board yet so I didn't welcome you. I apologize. Have a tribble. If you don't know, they're cute fluffy Trekverse creatures. Just don't feed it.
I've never played Dungeons&Dragons before, but I looked it up and it sounds like fun, so thanks!
Glad to have you here, Apricot. Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.
Thank you. One can never have enough pretty shiny things.
Firstly, welcome aboard, and have an orange cloak to celebrate! It'll keep you nice and warm on cold days, or if the HQ heating goes down.
Secondly, what are your fandoms? Are you involved in OFAS too?
All in all, good luck!
First of all, thanks for the cloak. It's perfect, as I get cold easily.
As for my fandoms, basically the same as my sister. We tend to get into them together, though I have some preferences(Star Trek:VOY over Star Trek:TNG). And am I involved in OFAS? Heavily. I am Miss Maria, the assistant course coordinator. I brainstormed ideas with her, drew the school crest, and recently I got bored and came up with an idea for later on.
She's probably told you we were planning a co-write at some point, then.
I must say, I've been thoroughly enjoying reading OFAS.
OFAS is the Official Fanfiction Academy of Starfleet, my sister's Star Trek OFU.
Welcome to the PPC! Have some Schrodinger's cookies! May or may not contain delicious chocolate chips.
What's your favorite Original Series mission?
Schrodinger's cookies! That's so awesome! I'm kind of anxious to open this box now to see if there are cookies.
My favorite Original Series mission is The Vacation at OFUM. Does that count? Otherwise I like Mithril. I'll think the same way again of mithril(the metal) or if someone states something.
