He/Him, 5'11", blue eyes, half blind, waging perpetual war with a mane of brown hair. Clothes outside of jeans, t-shirts, and jackets do not exist in my reality with the possible exception of the noble kilt at weddings. If I have limits re: shipping, I haven't found them yet.

Fun Facts About Badger: I'm a proud Washingtonian, Cascadian revolutionary, and aspirant to the title of Biggest Procrastinator in the PPC. I'm also the #2 flag expert and #5 sword enthusiast in the PPC Discord.

Special bonus fun fact, were I less socially conscious I could practically justify wearing both an eyepatch and a monocle.

Haven't got any particularly creative ship ideas this year I'm afraid, will update if I think of anything. Although... it seems the topic of dragons has come up an awful lot in the Discord chat the last few days, make of that what you will.

Hello, am Cal, opting in

personhood is Vague at this moment and thinking about my appearance is hugely dissociative so

have fun thinking about how I look

feel free to either reference the actual photographs of me I've given to the Discord, either to get it as right as possible or as wrong as possible, or to just... use energy

whatever you want

--???

(edit from Cal Proper: I use they/them pronouns, I'd prefer to be stuck in obviously comical ships (cargo ships seem to be a trend and I'm pretty Here For It), and much like Moons down below, I'd prefer we not be shipped together, for the same reasons.

If you need ideas, I'm all about yarn - they didn't nickname me the Yarn Goddex for no reason - and currently appear as the Pied Piper of Dragons. Dragon-riding yarn deity descending from on high to get into mortal shenanigans? Deity stuck in human form, by will or by force, naturally gravitating towards their own domains and possibly getting seduced by cute craft store employees? Just a random person with enough yarn to trip over one's own shopping bags? Who knows! Not me! And I have certainly never done that before.)

20, He/Him, fairly bear-like. I am straight but when has that stopped shippers.

Heya! I’m an 18 year old female (pronouns she/her). I’m 5’6, have hazel eyes (with dark circles under them for some reason XD), pale skin, red/strawberry blonde hair, and am looking for the love of my life. Lol. I’m blessed with a good sense of humor and encourage you guys to be creative. My only request is no NC17 stories.

As I’m new here, I do not have any potential ship ideas at this time.

descends from lurkerdom

Let's see here. 33, been here Approximately Forever, she/her, leans towards the tall-and-slender side. Flannel and Doc Martens, long-hair lesbian (entirely here to be bi/pan for shipfest). When there's not a global pandemic on, frequently found rock climbing and/or doing circus arts. Founding member of the PPC Boy Band in 2008, still have the leather coat, although it's been re-tailored and/or turned into a corset.

Usual line: please be careful around transness! I was a guy, now I'm a girl, and while there's lots of potential for comedy there, there's also lots of potential for hurt. If you're unsure about something, feel free to ask me- as long as you want to learn, I'm happy to educate!

-D

It's been a bit since I've posted on the board, but I'm activeish on the Discord. I've posted some photos there in the past, but for a brief physical description in the style of ye olde marriage ads I am Tall, Browned Luxurious Haired, and A Chef Of Sorts. Aside from that, I'm your standard, (I'd call myself fairly good-looking) 20ish year old, and enjoy wearing both punk & prep outfits. True bisexual. I use they/them pronouns, and am fine being shipped with whoever/whatever/whenever. I'll come up with some ships a bit later ;)

I'm like 20, they/them, I can't remember my height except that it's short enough to be embarrassing yet not enough to be inconvenient. All else you gotta know of how I look is I'm Hot as Hell. And I've got real thick eyebrows and real narrow eyes like Brock Pokemon.

I wear real colourful clothes nowadays, bright pink shorts and white shirts and sunflowery hoodies and that. I've been meaning to get ahold of a few dresses of late but ain't had the chance to, but believe you me. I'd friggin rock them.

I am, alternatively, (according to the PPC Discord), an unfathomable polyhedral god-entity, resplendent with angles and colours and drifting facets and suchlike. Look upon me and go mad from the revelation and all that. But I'm still Hot as Hell. And would go great in a dress.

I'm ace and that means that I think shipfic is really really funny. My restrictions are you have to be funny. That's it. Good luck.

I can't think of any ships at the moment but by god will I put them down once I've thought of them!

5'8" white male, buzzcut brown hair, thick black glasses, blue or green eyes based on what colors I'm wearing.

—doctorlit

I'm Moon/Moons/Moony. 18, she/her, bisexual skewed towards IRL girls and fictional guys. I'm shortish, 5'5" last I checked, and pretty much skin and bones. I've got long, wavy light brown hair and green eyes. I wear glasses. These days I hardly ever change out of pajamas, and I'm usually wearing one of those "single/taken/(something silly)" hoodies where "something silly" is "watching Bokurano" too. I'm mostly open to anything, but steer clear of the first three points on the Discord blacklist, and please don't ship me with Cal (we're exes and it'd be a little awkward). Will add ship ideas later.

I'm opting into the Shipfest! 19, she/her, 5'6" and around 260ish pounds. Generally, I've got a squat build that's currently suffering from a serious case of quarantine flab. I've got thick eyebrows, hairy legs and armpits, and insanely thick dark brown hair that's about 3 and a half centimeters long. I buzz it down and then just let it grow until I get tired of it, and it tends to stick up like an anime character's. I'm aro/ace irl, but this is shipfest, so don't let that stop you. I play Vampire the Masquerade and other World of Darkness games, so if you want to make me all goffik and trajeck or a hawt vampire babe you're welcome to. I don't have any ships yet, I'll probably throw them about the thread as I come up with them.

Female (she/her), 34 years old, 5'7", hetero-romantic ace, thin-ish with a bit of flab at the abdomen, pale skin, slightly wavy reddish-brown hair usually worn in a ponytail (butt-length when in a ponytail, a few inches past the crotch when loose), glasses, hazel eyes, dresses for comfort over fashion, with a preference for darker colors. Major fantasy nerd.

Iximaz/Scapegrace- Surely writers of amazing comedy have something in common (each other)

I'll opt in. Tech nerd with next to zero social skills. 5'9", 22, She/her, bi (I guess IDK) and about the same build as a piece of railroad track. I've been told I have a sense of fashion but I pretty much wear only jeans and long sleeve shirts with hoods (yes those are thing and they're great). Brown eyes and brown hair down to about mid-back and I wear glasses that I probably need to replace soon.

Female-presenting enby (they/them), bisexual, brown hair a little longer than shoulder-length, always wears glasses, usually wears a black leather jacket. Mostly just curious to see who I get shipped with.

Please do not ship me with inanimate objects.

She/her, 4’11”, squishy, blue eyes, brown curly hair, straight except for badass (buff) ladies (also note: I have a fairly sensitive gag reflex and am prone to making dumb jokes in heated situations). Also I wear a lot of blue

Do not ship me with animals/more animalistic furries, objects, or people not old enough to consent. I’d also prefer not to be transformed into anything.

Hm, allow relatively complete strangers to write fanfiction about me dating other relatively complete strangers...I see nothing going wrong with this!

In all seriousness, if you wanna write me in, there's just a few things you need to know:

Appearance: I tend to dress casual unless I have some homemade cosplay stuff on, which includes a can-tab gauntlet (Worn on the right hand), cape with nerf bandolier, and a single fingerless glove (Also word on my right hand). and I am always seen wearing a black fedora. ALWAYS.

Personality: I tend to crack jokes at every possible opportunity, and even a few impossible opportunities. I'm rather extroverted and quick-thinking, sometimes a bit too quick-thinking, often saying the wrong thing without realizing it. I'm also very enthusiastic about video games, and I love it when I can play with others who love the same game.

I'm also rather big into mermaids, so do with that what you will.

I can't think of any ships off the top of my head, but if I do, I'll be sure to bring them into port!

I'm opting in, as usual. I don't think I'll give a physical description beyond saying that I'm a man, and would like to remain such for the Games. Aside from that, go wild! Let your imagination loose!

As for ship ideas, I've got two ideas from the Discord. Neither of the people have opted in yet, but I think that they will (and the context for these ship ideas is worth sharing regardless).

Idea 1: FourMoonsWatching either with, or piloting, a Humungous Mecha. This is based on her obsession with the show Bokurano.

Idea 2: Calliope/Salt (or, as they called it, "the Happy Cronch Crystal"). Calliope actually requested this ship outright, though that was back in July, so their thoughts on the matter may have changed since then.

Needless to say, I'm in.

If you want a picture of me, go look at any of the London Gathering Reports, I'm the tall one. You'll know when you see me (Now with a bit of a beard due to lockdown). Otherwise mid twenties, he/him demisexual (IRL, in this just go wild) 6' 6'' (hence my prior description being, the tall one), don't know what that is in metres, sorry. Used to be tall and lanky, now got a bit of fat round the middle (also due to lockdown).

I need to think about ships...

Ah, the Shipfest once more! Well, why not? He/him, very gay, generally casual clothing, often jackets with long sleeves and long pants, mostly boring stuff, I'd say. As for appearance... use your imagination. :P

As for ships... well, I don't have anything off the top of my head. Perhaps I'll swing by with some later. :P

Hi, I'm Umbre. I'm 5'2", 22 years old, and have kind of stocky build. My pronouns are she/her and I'm pan. I have brown hair that's almost down to my mid-back with bangs that I really need to cut, and brown eyes. I also wear glasses and have been told that I sometimes dress like a hippy, particularly in the summer when it's hot. Also, my favorite Pokemon is (probably predictably) Umbreon.

Don't ship Silv and I. We're cousins and that would be weird.

For ships, I suggest: GMA/Headphones (or any other sufficiently overpriced audio equipment)

...I'll opt in. Grundleplith, 21, she/hers, bisexual. Stocky build, short-ish hair that's become a bit of a mess lately, and glasses. Favors hoodies. Vague, I know, but frankly I have been having Feelings lately about my appearance (as anyone who might compare this to my prior Shipfest entries will immediately notice) and so I'm gonna keep it that way for the time being. Go nuts I guess?

Suggested ships:

Thoth/his incredibly loud keyboard--maybe a gag in a similar vein to Plank from Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy where only Thoth can make actual sense of the otherwise mundane sounds of his keyboard?

Granz/The Hive Mind(Warhammer 40K) [probably platonic ship because it'd be horrifying to consider the implications of shipping ANYONE with a giant swarm of planet-nomming space locusts] bonding over a mutual interest in hyper-optimized stats and immortality.

Horvat/Grand Admiral Thrawn (Star Wars), bonding over a mutual, if paradoxical, interest in grand-scale strategy and tactical micromanagement. (Possible setup: They're supposed to be on a date but get completely sidetracked by Horvat attempting (possibly even successfully) to "reality check" Thrawn's past campaigns and propose "realistic" alternative tactics.)

Grundleplith/A Gundam of basically any sort. Needs no real explanation.

Agender, she/her or they/them, aroace (like that'd stop anyone :p), 19, and descriptions of myself can be found if you care to look. My only restriction is not being shipped with Umbre, if she opts in, on account of the fact we're related.

I'm a 27 y/o, cis-man. Bisexual although leaning more hetero-romantic. In terms of looks, I'd describe myself as "the Fat Bastard from Austin Powers without the mutton chops", but if you need some more details - Green eyes hidden behind large glasses, dark blonde hair very often floofed up and scraggly beard. 1.75 m tall (5'8"-ish) and 330 lbs/23 stones. Usually wearing hoodies and jeans, or tracksuit pants to keep that Slav stereotype.

Not sure if I have anything I don't want to be included. GO nuts, I can handle pretty much everything. Not sure who in their right mind would find a ship for me, but eh - yolo.

5'8, thin and lanky with large hands and feet (go nuts with yaoi hands if you so desire!). Very androgynous build, currently with shaggy, dyed red hair and many facial and ear piercings and lots of tattoos, green eyes with gold central heterochromia.

I'll edit in with ship ideas as I come up with them.

As for physical descriptions, I'm sure there's photos of me from a Gathering running around somewhere, but the short version is I'm a dude with a bit of an expanding radius (yay, plague), short hair, and rather thick glasses. I can also link this art of dog!me I got a while ago because I like it and it's the source of my current Discord avatar.

Anyway, ship suggestions:

• Voyd/Granz/epl/Mikel/... - the ship that's been Fate-ed to happen
• Thorne/Occulus - last two people to post some writing, the ship
• Scape/Nesh - cowrites get steamy
• Delta/Maslab/Thoth/Akrinor - the modship
• hS/various Tolkien elves - ... let's be real here, hS likes the pointy ears

I'm almost 23, any pronouns are welcome but they/them and he/him are appreciated. About 5'5", hourglass figure, pale as a sheet, short brown hair, brown eyes, and I usually have circles the size of Stonehenge under my eyes for some reason. I tend to wear fedoras and suspenders, and the occasional ugly tie when the fancy strikes me, but I usually lean towards a more androgynous style than straight-up masculine. I don't have any suggested ships at the moment because I just got home from work and a looong walk, but I'll be back tomorrow!

~Oculus, who has somehow missed the Shipfest twice, but apparently third time's the charm (again)

Male, he/him, brown eyes, vaguely round in shape, lightly covered in hair, and a beard that could charitably be described as scruffy. Like you care what I look like. :-)

I'm generally good with whatever comes up at shipfest. Just... let good taste prevail.

Nah, just kidding, this is shipfest. Good taste has no place here! Just make it funny.

She/her, pansexual, no preferences regarding kink but if you could refrain from shipping me with Voyd or Hanafuda I'd appreciate it. Long hair in what my mum calls dead-mouse brown and eyes that have a weird blue-green colour to them, akin to algae, again according to my mum. And she's got the front to wonder why I have no self-confidence. I'm six foot dead and seventeen stone and frankly look a bit like a frog with my belly hanging over my spindly little legs. I wear my hair down and my nails long and my clothing only when forced. I'm ugly and weirdly shaped and my fiancée will tell you that's not true but it's their fault for not going to Specsavers. I am weak and slow and frightened and I'm nowhere near as clever as I think, and I think I'm a complete shpxing idiot so we're off to a flying start there. So lacking any other positive traits, I try to be funny and I try to be kind, and sometimes I can get it right.

Here's hoping, anyway.

Pronouns are she/her. I’m tall and skinny, with long brown hair, and glasses. My eyes are green with this sort of weird golden ring around the pupil... gets gagged by her agents before she can finish a Sueish description of her eye color. My only restriction would have been NC17 stuff, but since that’s not part of the fest, go for it! My only proposed ship would be Neshomeh/Huinesoron, cause oldbies unite, I guess?

I prefer being referred to as "Yuki" for short. I'm a nearsighted 150cm tall Asian female who takes quite a bit of pride in my legs. Please don't ship me with inanimate objects, animals/non-humanoid creatures or the underaged. I don't propose any ships for now.

Am female, but this is the Shipfest! Go wild. The sillier the better.

May or may not be a polar bear.

Please don't ship me with anyone underage.

Ships...

hS/Shipfest! Look, he's gone and started up the sign-up thread. In the middle of a pandemic, no less. Someone's eager ;)

If they opt in and don't object:

Doctorlit/reviews. Or Doctorlit/literature. He's been reading and leaving reviews lately, and it's not a new thing...

Oculus/Writing Muse. The best inspiration is obviously the one that can lean over your shoulder!

Oculus/Scapegrace. Look, Scape's a great writer (especially with comedy!), Oculus is on a journey of writing development...it fits! It totally fits! Enough for my brain to jump to the ship, anyway!

hS/Iximaz. Look, those Gathering photos clearly showed only the two of them. And hS outright said they (or he, at least) didn't spend much time talking. Now, that could just be down to technical limitations...or. Or! (The Shipfest is built on ors.) Just saying ;)

Neshomeh/archiving. Look, if this (or a variant) somehow isn't a classic, it's time to fix that!

Okay, listen, completely unrelated, but I bring you the mental image of a rooster with knives tied to its legs being brought into a police station and locked up in a cell for a bit, with other arrestees. Yes, there's context. No, it, uh, doesn't help a lot.

~Z

She doesn't know she's in yet, but she knew the danger when she married me. >:D

You can find pictures of us here (I'm a him; she's a her), but all you really need to know is that I'm a chemist and an elf, and she may or may not be an older, wearier version of Agent Kaitlyn.

And to start off the Official Ship List:

• Huinesoron/Kaitlyn - canon4eva
• Neshomeh/Phobos - also canon, and the archives remind me that they stood in as Official Board Couple for a few years while we were… I dunno, sleeping or something?
• Kittyauthor/Midnight - both asked me when it was coming up; certainly eager for something.
• Neshomeh/Thoth - for their detailed advice on writing smut, doubtless from mutual personal experience
• Neshomeh/doctorlit - Team Kinky Kinkajou (no actual kinkajou involved)
• Iximaz/Kaitlyn - THE CORSETS MUST FLOW
