(I hope no one's becoming annoyed by all of these...)
What exactly is the difference between a 'Favorite' and a 'Lust-Object' (other than the LO creating large amounts of Want)? And may I create a page for 'Favorites' once I learn enough about what the difference is? The Wiki doesn't appear to have one...

It actually seems pretty decent so far, given that the author's note is about trying to give the game historical accuracy. My (admittedly not extensive) knowledge of Spanish grammar and syntax is actually fairly happy while I read this.
Also, I've seen a lot of spanish fics, and usually (If I can read them) they seem like they've been put together with more caution than the English ones. I don't know if it's just the law of averages (smaller sample size = less badfic) or if people who live in primarily spanish-speaking areas simply just bother to read their work before submitting. And, keep in mind, that the concept of a "Mary Sue" doesn't necessarily translate across cultures - sure, there will be flat, badly written OC's, but I wouldn't relish trying to explain the concept in a foreign language.
Best way to find Spanish and French fic is to go to the just in page for your particular fandom. I don't know if there's a Spanish language version of the site that has it's own address and more Spanish fic, but now I'm intrigued. I always thought it was just that there were less people who chose to write fanfic in Spanish or French if they could possibly write it in English. (Between there and Fictionpress, the most common complaint I hear when someone who doesn't speak or write english fluently is notified of a mistake is that "English isn't my first language, and no one would ever have read it if I wrote it in my first language.")

I have another tiny little question. -ducks behind couch-
-peeks, then comes back out-
Anyway, since I'll be asking for permission sometime this month, I was wondering about RC numbers. Do I get to request an RC for my agents (I notice the Wiki has a list of claimed RCs), and how do I go about requesting and/or receiving a number? Also, is the RC layout up to me, or is that determined by who/whatever gives me the RC number?
And is peanut butter really brown, or is it more of a dusty orange?

You have four threads now, more than anyone else--and you've already been warned about this. Consider this your second warning. You won't get a third, so please pay attention.
I know you're excited to be here, and we're glad to have you. But the Board is already so active right now that it's easy to bump someone else's post, especially a mission report that a Boarder has worked really hard to bring to the table, off the main page. Added to the fact that your post once again contains "No Subject", this seems to point to you being, shall we say, a bit trigger-happy with the posting. That is, you seem to have a tendency to post in the heat of the moment, as soon as you've found something shiny and new.
We PPCers understand this impulse, believe me--but if we posted every time we came across something we thought was unusual ("Huh, look, a kind of Suefic we've never seen before!") the Board would get very cluttered very fast. Self-editing is one of the most important skills we possess, and I urge you to employ it.
