No. It wasn't the pixies. It was the little birds. They called themselves the "OFU's". From that, I believe you should be able to discern the answer to your following question. As for your final question, who ever said I was pertinent?
So, I heard this is where one joins the PPC. Is it possible If I could do so?
If you're looking to spork badfic, you've come to the right place! Here, have some chocolate and enjoy your stay!
Take a Box of Infinity!
Warning! Box may or may not contain portals to alternate dimensions. Do not leave Box around cupcakes.
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. You name it, it can dissolve it. Even reality.
Hi! I just joined here a few days ago, but even so I'd like to say WELCOME TO OUR HUMBLE INSANITORIUM! *mad laughter*
Ahem. Too much? Alright, I'll tone it down a notch.
Glad to hear you're a big novel reader. From what I've gathered, that'll be a good help here. This place should amuse you until you get the nerve to get back to reading another book.
Incidentally, here's a bag of really big books as a welcoming gift. *heaves large, heavy sack over shoulder and flops it down in front of blurfsmurf*
...What? They're all blank? I didn't say anything was actually /written/ in them now, did I?
Are yo sure they don't have invisible ink? *Looks for the microwave*
BTW, what are your fandoms?
Err...would you like the whole list, or the ALFIASTRA (The Abbreviated List of Fandoms I Actually Spend Time Reading Anymore)?
And welcome to the Board. Some find sanity optional here, the others never had it to begin with. Ether way it won't really be used, like your appendix or your tailbone!
Anyway, I feel like I know so little about you... it's making me hard to think of a meaningful gift because of that. Please tell us more about yourself while I muse about gifts that I haven't given yet.
About me. Hmm. Where to begin? I love books. Honestly, place a book larger then a hundred pages, I'll probably read it - good or not - but I haven't read any fiction like The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter lately. I've mainly been struggling through books like The Illiad and Tale of Two Cities. Now that I have finished those, though, I have been starved for entertainment. Then, Lo and Behold, here is a site that can provide such fun. I look forward to being apart of this community.
I've read the Odyssey several times, but always found the Iliad harder to get into. I think part of my problem is that I've had trouble finding a translation of the Iliad that I like -- when I know it was written as poetry, block-o-text prose translation doesn't cut it.
And have some welcome-fudge!
In terms of loving books that is. I admire your courage in tackling The Illiad, I was dying when I had to read The Odyssey for class. As a token of that courage and for the fact that you haven't read fiction/fantasy in a while I shall give you the Ultimate Volume of Fairy Tales*! Each time you open it it awards you with a new fairy tale or other fantasy story.
*That's "tales" mind you. Fairies don't usually have tails and when they do it's a sensitive issue.
Hi there, and welcome to the PPC Board-and-wider-community. As you can see, I'm Huinesoron - I've been here since around the Triassic Era, and I'm still pretty much only a Lord of the Rings fan. I'm also slightly crazy (it helps, in this place).
You, I can see, am blurfsmurf - but what else is there to know about you? How'd you find us (was it the pixies? Curse those meddling pixies!)? Do you read or write fanfiction - and what fandoms? Have you read many of the PPC's stories? And, perhaps most importantly of all, [insert really pertinent question here]?
hS
