How I Learned About the PPC

Greetings, Fellow PPCers! by GeniusGamer on 2020-05-01 14:42:55 UTC Introduction Reply

So, you see, I heard about the PPC about a week ago. Upon seeing the community of authors determined to use their writing talent to encourage good fanfiction and discourage badfic, I had a realization. I could be one of those authors. So, I rushed over here and made an account last evening. And here I am.

My favorite media are Pokémon, Rick Riordan’s books, Minecraft, and a few others I won’t include here. Well, that should be everything. I’m hoping to be a great addition to the community, and until I’m ready to ask for permission, I’ll just be hanging around here, reporting badfics, responding to posts, and the like. Have a great day, everyone!

Have a chocolate snow leopard. They exist, apparently.

Welcome to the PPC! I have something for you, a controller with a question mark pattern.

I also like Pokemon and Minecraft! Erm, I haven't really got anything else to contribute that other people haven't already.

Ooh, it's nice to see people joining us! Welcome!

I remember once obsessing over Minecraft. I still kind of do now, but I've basically quit upon realizing the level my eyesight has gotten to (very bad). Not that it made any difference considering the time I spend on the internet everyday (all the time)... and I had this whole castle and garden planned out on paper that I think would work really well in creative mode too...

Aaaanyways –––––––––––––

I would say I am (or at least was) familiar with PJO and HOO, and I've read the first book of the Kane Chronicles. PJO is actually some of the first English books I've read (I moved to the US from China back in elementary school), so it's pretty special to me.

So yay again for joining us, and I hope you enjoy your time here:)

It's always great to get new people. I hope you'll enjoy your time with us.

I think I will! by GeniusGamer on 2020-05-01 16:12:40 UTC Edited Reply

I’ve read all about you guys, and you seem really nice. Except to Mary Sues. I’ve read lots of missions...

I read your profile, and I realized something. We both found out about the PPC through TV Tropes!

Nice to see a new face. Take a boltrifle, relax, and let the insanity consume you. :-P

It seems like our Discord link is still down because we were getting raided by a particularly persistent troll. I'm still sorting that, but we can get you an invite link if you want.

That would be appreciated! by GeniusGamer on 2020-05-01 15:48:49 UTC Edited Reply

Ah, yes, I’ve heard of the mental health problems associated with the PPC...

Which is half the reason I joined!

Anyway, I was wondering about the discord. I couldn’t find a way to join. An invite link would be great.

Done! by Thoth on 2020-05-01 18:46:49 UTC Reply

You should be able to join from the wiki. Sorry about the delay, I had to consult with our moderation team, who have been having a rough week.

It's always good to have new people around. :) Out of interest, where did you hear about us? I've kind of lost track of where we're getting newcomers from these days.

How I Learned About the PPC by GeniusGamer on 2020-05-01 16:09:07 UTC Reply

The following sequence has been slightly dramatized.

It was just a normal day, when I was scrolling around TV Tropes, and I was scrolling through the TV Tropes Pantheon and I saw the Protectors of the Plot Continuum. Now, I have a thing for metafiction and the like, and that title sounded nice. So, I read a little about the PPC. I thought to myself, Wow, that looks really cool! I want to read those stories! But there was no link to the stories (and I thought the PPC just had a couple of authors who would keep all the stories in one place)! So, I embarked on an epic journey to locate the PPC stories. I found them on the wiki, where I got a good grasp of what this whole thing is, exactly. Yesterday, I found out there was a posting board. Yes! I thought as I signed up. So here I am. My next steps are to join the discord, read more missions, get to know everyone, and eventually, once I’m ready, ask for permission.

After checking my SPaG on this post, I’m realizing that a) this is about as long as, if not longer than, my original post, and b) I probably shouldn’t have everything in that huge paragraph, but, then again, it’s not like I’m writing a mission right now or something.

We're counted in the pantheon of TV Tropes?? by Neshomeh on 2020-05-01 17:02:55 UTC Reply

When I started reading that page, I expected to see the likes of the Ironic Overpower, not us ourselves. {X D Gosh, I feel special now. And slightly sorry for still not liking TV Tropes much. (I go to All The Tropes for my trope-citing needs. Especially since they're also on Wikia, which makes linking cleaner.)

Anyway, welcome! Happy to meet you, hope you enjoy yourself! Looks like you're off to a great start. ^_^ Got a favorite spin-off or agent?

1. All the Tropes is pretty good if you ask me!
2. Yeah, the PPC as a whole is an overdeity in the Pantheon Protectors.
3. Favorite agents... I don’t really have any favorites, everyone is just such a great writer and their characters are awesome! As for spin-offs, I’m more of a sequel guy. I’m really bad at choosing between things I like... well, I’ve got badfics to seek out and missions to study!
