You've already found the IRC, so you've probably gotten inundated with greetings from there, but let me welcome you to the Board - it's full of great people and conversation and more than a little craziness. As a welcome present, have an Official Hipster Scarf (oh, you probably haven't heard of it :P )
Hi guys, I'm new here and popped in your IRC. Seems like a nice place so I'm happy making a thread saying here I am please pay attention to me ;).
What I'm a fan of are most urban fantasy novels (Dresden Files, Hollows series etc), Pokemon, Harry Potter, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. There are others but those are the main ones. Not in any particular order either.
As for fanfiction I prefer ones that are in a setting I like obviously, I also have a weird fascination with the more... unique fics out there, some of the fetishes those people are just hilarious. The ones that just make me think "What the hell am I reading?" are good entertainment too. There's also a part of me that sees fics being taken off FF.net as a challenge for me to hunt them down and read them.
I have dabbled in writing fanfiction, there's always been that block of being afraid to publish something I've put so much work into because maybe I'm the only person who doesn't think it's absolute garbage but eh I'm sure I'll get over that :).
Have some Bleepka ... you might need it someday.
Welcome to the PPC! As I have said with most other newbies I've greeted, have my everlasting friendship!
Nah, everlasting friendship does not equal everlasting servitude.
But anyway, have fun here.
Welcome newcomer!
Also, have some light moonglasses. They're like dark sunglasses but look cool at night instead!
Hello new person. Here have a cowboy hat.*
*See Dresden Files: Inexplicable covers for explanation.
Hi, have some fudge!
Welcome to the Board! Have some chocolate, won't you?
Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here!
Here, have some Ligeti for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJnoU8oR76g&feature=related
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Bottled at Impossible spring, Nowhereland.
Hello, and welcome to the PPC! I can't think of anything clever to say right now, so I'll just give you a gift. Congrats! You are now the proud owner of a wizard's hat! It's quite sparkly and is conveniently labeled "wizard".
Just thought I'd throw in some fanfiction links to not good fanfictions but funny ones. Can't see them on the badfic pages of your wiki so they might be new to you, I dunno :)
http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/stories/chapter.php?storyid=2482&chapterid=10730 - Mature, crossover, makes no sense
http://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=12251 - This one I had to hunt down a bit but god it was worth it. Mature, insane, Pokemon sex. Also hilarious, I don't believe for a second this guy was actually going for erotic even though he says he was.
I couldn't find a way to edit my post so the subject text will show up when people glance at it, hopefully that'll cover it :)
...those URLs are looking slightly fishy. "bsdm library?" "Fakku?"
You might want to mention that you're linking us to what seems like porno websites.
Still, one might want to add a NSFW flag in the post title.
Well adult fanfiction. Sorry! Want me to take them down or is the notice enough?

Psh it's not cool if you've got one too. I'll have none of that mainstream rubbish! ;)
Let me be the first to welcome you to the PPC Board. I see you've already found the IRC but I would also like to link you to the wiki here: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki
and our Constitution here:https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=18hztHpDehxcfrjaXoFUew1vb0BdZPDAusHxMHzHiCzM
The wiki contains many helpful FAQs if you have any questions and the Constitution contains our rules for the entire community. We are also reenacting the Big Sib/Little Sib thingamabob but I'm not the one to talk to for that. Try one of the oldbies like JulyFlame or Huinesoron.
Also! You, lucky newbie, are now the proud owner of a Magic Generator Box* for all types of fantasy. It's a good replacement for magic wands and ancient powerful amulets.

Thanks mate, I'd already found the Wiki and rules too :). In the event of my becoming an evil overlord (or, less likely, a child under three) I cannot make any promises to return your Magic Generator Box however. I thank you for easing my conquest of this world.
