Qs as in the "F.A.Q." Q.
Where are the RPs usually conducted at and what could I really write in a PPC Story? Because I don't think I'm ready to kick down a door and point a gun at the Sue and I feel that should know more about this place before writing off a half-baked fic.

I recommend reading Neshomeh and Phobos's stuff.
When there are RPs someone will announce it here.
Also, you do know about permission, right?
Meaning that I am now the proud owner of one chibi-velociraptor agent.
As far as the ppc stories go, it depends on what kind of story you want to spork. Different fandoms end up looking a lot different in these stories, as do different kinds of fics. Reading them at random in fandoms that I actually know the ropes of is how I've been handling the massive wiki binge that is attempting to read the exploits of the PPC.
But why haven't I've seen anything that isn't Lord Of the Rings or something? Like Doctor Who or any other prominent fandoms out there?
Pirates of the Carribean, Mass Effect, Harry Potter (Though I refuse to read that fanfiction on principle, because I am protecting my childhood, or what's left of it,) Twilight, BBC Sherlock, and Stargate Atlantis are all fandoms that I've read sporkings in recently. There's a lot of LOTR sporkings because that's where the community started. And there's a lot of Doctor Who in the crossovers section.

So, I read that if you leave broken equipment long enough, it creates it's own sentience. So my mind boggling question is;
What happens if you leave an entire RC suite full of the broken sentient devices for so long?
That or they work out the ultimate question of the universe, plot world dominion, or make jello.
No, seriously. That sounds like a great story for the PPC - we do, theoretically, have an infinite number of RCs. But probably some of them shouldn't be brought back into the light of day.
I'm slowly developing it into an Origins Story for myself.
It involves a ancient disused RC full of sentient hive minded old PPC tech, a team dispatched to look for whose stealing every ones techs and why your pocket junk is never in the same place twice.
If you have questions, can you keep them all in one thread, please? Every new thread you make pushes an old thread off the front page, and the PPC's been fairly active lately as it is.
Not saying you've done anything wrong, just something to bear in mind in future. :)
Thanks!

RPs are usually conducted here or in the IRC chat. And, well, if you want to know what to write in a mission I suggest you read some missions - there are examples for the Departments of Intelligence, Mary Sues, Bad Slash, Mary Sue Experiments and Research, Bad Crossovers, etcetcetc. Figure out what you'd like to tackle, and read the already-published things so you know what you'd like to talk about in yours when you get around to writing them.
(And if you haven't noticed already, you can't start writing these until you get Permission.)
Well I already knew about the permission thing and I'm not really asking for one right now. Just need to compile up a bunch of info before I go about writing stuff.
And really, if I'm ever going to write myself into any of the stories, I'm going to have to wait a while bit more longer, because in The Eleventh Doctor's response to Amelia's question when she asked the recently regenerated Time Lord "Don't know yet, I'm still cooking,".
