Hello again!

Oh hello by Meta on 2022-07-03 13:00:14 UTC Reply

It's my regularly irregular "I've not checked in with the PPC for a couple of years, perhaps I'd better stick my head in and see how things are going" post.

I think this time I've only been missing for a couple of years, so I'm getting better (It was a five year gap before that) so hi to old friends and hello to the new folk who probably aren't even new folk anymore. :)

Hello again, Meta! Always good to hear from you! by doctorlit on 2022-07-04 15:01:26 UTC Reply

How are things going?

Hey Doc by Meta on 2022-07-04 16:15:28 UTC Reply

Good to see you're around. In fact, you seem to be one of the rare constants whenever I vanish off for long periods of time. How are things going with you?

I like being constant! by doctorlit on 2022-07-04 18:05:02 UTC Reply

I'm rather overworked right now, and struggling to keep up with the Board, but I'm still pushing forward and surviving!

Have a blazer that’s on fire. by Linstar on 2022-07-04 14:01:41 UTC Edited Reply

However, the fire won’t burn you, and it has your username emblazoned on it. That way it’s just to look cool.

Welcome back!

oooh, a blazing blazer! by Meta on 2022-07-04 16:16:11 UTC Reply

It looks cool and it's alliterative too! I love it!

Always good to see folks return from Away. ^_^

I have a thing for you! At your last visit, you inquired about newly recruited kids/teens, and there was a lot of head-scratching. Well, I made a list for that! You have to do math to get how old they are in the present, 'cause I haven't figured out how to code for it, and as with any PPC list, there's no guarantee something hasn't been missed. Still, at least it's a place to start looking should you ever find yourself wondering about how many kids are in the Nursery. {= D

Now that looks particularly interesting. I've not got much completely set in my mind for this particular return yet, so that's certainly something that may prove useful. Thanks.

I'll read the papers as soon as I'm caught up with the recent spin offs. :)

Well... by Linstar on 2022-07-04 18:38:01 UTC Reply

...If you’re looking for a recent spin-off, you could try mine.

I always am by Meta on 2022-07-04 21:59:55 UTC Reply

I'm always on the hunt for new spin offs (I like to try and slip occasional references of what others are up to in my work occasionally) When I come back I tend to find to the last post on the board and go through all their stories before moving onto the next. You have officially made yourself next. :)

I don't think we've met, but welcome back nonetheless!

Thank you kindly (nm) by Meta on 2022-07-03 18:21:07 UTC Reply

Have a cake 🎂

Thanks by Meta on 2022-07-03 16:35:52 UTC Reply

Thanks, as it happens yours were the first stories I saw when I poked my head back in and I've just finished your fourth mission. Thanks for the entertainment. :)

The four-part one? by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-03 16:40:04 UTC Reply

Oh yeah, that mission (and the badfic) was quite an experience.

My mistake by Meta on 2022-07-03 17:30:44 UTC Reply

It must have been the third mission and I was counting the interlude. I remember seeing there was a four part mission, but haven't read that one yet. No spoilers. ;)

I've made a full spin-off listing without summary, by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-07-03 18:01:53 UTC Reply

right here if you wanna keep track 😉

How Useful by Meta on 2022-07-03 18:20:48 UTC Reply

I was reading the missions from the Agents page, so yes that does make things easier. :)
