Target Acquired! by ThArcanist on 2012-05-28 23:16:00 UTC Reply

So i'm a new member to PPC, and i'd really like to get permission for a story.
But that's another thread.
Anyways, I was browsing on FF.Net and found this monstrosity.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7630656/1/doyouremember
It's a Bleach/Inuyasha crossover.
(/i) OH MY GOD. (\i)
The grammar... rrrrgh!
Not to mention the spelling. Here, read this gem:
'"YOU FOUND SOMEONE WITH SO MUCH AURA!"yelled hatseguya.

"maaannn….calm down, what about it?"said ichigo while scatching his everyone was stunned from captain h actions.'what did he know?''

As bad as the spelling is, it gets worse.
1) It's not Hatseguya. His name is spelled Hitsugaya.
2)"ichogo while scratching his everyone"? How do you scratch your everyone?
3) Never abbreviate names while writing fanfic. Never say something like "captain h" onless you're talking about Mr. T.

Hey! I'm new too. I really can't ask for permission until I'm leagally allowed to get a fanfiction.net account, and I don't turn 13 until July. So wait I shall. Plus, I want to just hang out for a while withought worrying about missions and such. Don't you think you should prepare mentally for the insanity of the PPC before getting permission anyway?
Anyway, here's a pack of bleeprin! *tosses in your general direction*

I'm 12 too, and really, I'm so tired of waiting until I'm legally old enough (Don't tell Google that I lied about my age! PLEASE!). So yeah, but you don't need an age for FiMFiction, I know that for sure. I have an account, and I have great spelling and generally good grammar when it comes to writing. You can check out my fanfic, I'm a bit worried that my OC is slightly Mary Sue, I tried to make some challenges, but still, everything goes his way. Does that count? I'm not too sure. I'm working on a collaborative, and my friend is good at keeping characters in-line. So yeah, that's all I'll say. Here's my FiMFiction page!

I think you mean you turn fourteen. 14.

That's what I read, anyway, since everyone knows we don't break laws around here and you are definitely already thirteen because otherwise you wouldn't be posting here.

So yes. Hi, welcome to the 'Board, thirteen-year-old PPCer!

See here.

COPPA isn't doing much, because people are lying about their age everywhere. We need something new, does anyone agree?

Honestly? We'd prefer you lie about your age. Lie like a dog on a rug. While I'm sure several people (myself included) are wary about having people under a certain age join, ultimately I doubt many people care as long as you're mature, follow the rules, and don't make a nuisance out of yourself. However, if you are under 13? We can't know.

You mean like a Piping Plover? I hate those birds, always closing beaches...

Hi There by desdendelle on 2012-05-29 00:15:00 UTC Reply

Now that July told you the serious stuff, I'll be the first one to be silly; here, have a cup of tea. Just mind the leaves, because they might try to eat you.
Whoa, whoa, hi. by JulyFlame on 2012-05-28 23:44:00 UTC Reply

Hi there. Welcome to the PPC!

Before you get too excited, let's go over a few things first. I see you've already hopped onto the wiki. While it is super awesome that you have decided to try and help out, please work on your SPaG a bit. You've missing punctuation and misspelled words going on there, and here on the board. :)

Beyond that, we do have a few guidelines for the PPC, both the community and writing for it. As you can see up top, we have our constitution. Hopefully you've already read that.

As to permission, here, start with this guide to the board. We like to get to know people and know they're up to snuff for writing missions before you can write, so you might want to work on your own spelling, grammar, and punctuation before you start going after that of others.

Thirdly, you're welcome to hop into our chatroom- again, the link is at the top.

Beyond that, if you want, I'm contactable with any questions you might have. My email should be there under my name if you highlight it you'll get your mail thingy to pop up, and then besides that I'm on AIM as fairladypsyche and on MSN messenger as fairladypsyche AT hotmail.com. I am v. easy contactable if you want to ramble or just ask things!

SPaG by ThArcanist on 2012-05-29 02:17:00 UTC Reply

Wow, i'm glad you pointed those out. I had no clue I was SPaGging until you pointed it out, and it's really hard for me to check for mistakes in this tiny text box with the font I find hardest to read. Just looking back through this now I had to fix an error. I hate it, I usually have great spelling, punctuation, grammar, ect.

Re: SPaG by Shellfur on 2012-05-29 03:14:00 UTC Reply

Try control (Or apple, if you have a Mac) plus. It makes the screen larger and it should be easier to see what you're typing. Also, if you right-click, on the list that comes up there should be a spelling and grammer (Or just spelling) item. Make sure it's checked. Then, the computer will check your spelling for you as you type.

Okay, dude, cool it with the wiki editing please. by JulyFlame on 2012-05-29 01:00:00 UTC Reply

You're adding random things and tossing a whole lotta SPaG errors onto the wiki. This is not appreciated. You have thus not far appeared to have paid attention to our guides and rules, nor to my earlier posts.

I've banned you from the wiki until you can chill enough to actually talk here first so we can make sure you know what you're doing and not just spamming things.

My Bad by ThArcanist on 2012-05-29 02:05:00 UTC Reply

I'm really sorry about that. I meant no offense, I just wanted to show my enthusiasm for the site. I'll go back and read through those more thouroughly and then... I don't know. You tell me how I should test my worthiness.
