Hello? Is anyone around? A newbie here... I've written and read fanfics for the last two years, and I think I've had enough of the mess around FFN.
I've lurked and listed badfics/trollfics on the local badfic forum, taking a small 'occupation' as a Sue Hunter there, but I think I really need to report here. I'd love to help around by reporting badfics, since I've met loads and I don't know where else to go. -

Have a random book. It doesn't do much, but it's a nice paperweight.
FFN is a horrible mess, but digging through it can be fun...in a morbid way. Or if you don't value what sanity you have to begin with. Or that's just me... *shrugs* Have anything interesting on your ffn account?
As a side question for the person posting it, what exactly is a plover? Because I've never found a reference to it... -

*accepts random book* Is it empty? Perhaps I can use it for drawing sketches.
Oh, don't worry. I never value my sanity too much. I'm already insane before I joined the boards, anyway.
Interesting stuff? Aside from a horrendous first-time fic and a Parody!Sue fic there's nothing else, except a list of preferences and a link to my utterly useless blog in the profile page. -

It might be. I grabbed it off a shelf. *grins*
That's always a good thing. :)
Links are fun, even if they're useless. They can take you to interesting places! (It's like TVTropes.... :P) -

I've left the remainders of my sanity outside the door, don't worry XD.
Oh, my blog's filled with rants. Some are written in Bahasa Indonesia, while the rest of them are written in English. Ooh! I like TVTropes! -

Um, ransom? Do you mean fandom? I'm a bit confused here.
*accepts a box of doughnuts*
Thanks for the doughnuts! *opens* Woah! Sugar-coated and mint icing! My favorite ^_^
Anyways, what are your fandoms? My primary fandom is Star Wars, but I lurk in other fandoms as well.

…Sorry. I hate the spellcheck on my iTouch. *Turns cursed spellcheck off*
Thanks for the bleepolate. Star Wars is cool. Who's your favorite character? Mine is Chewbacca. -

Oh, I see. Spellcheckers are annoying at certain times.
My favorite character? It's a tie between Kit Fisto and Aayla Secura. Aside from that, they're also my favorite couple. What's yours? -

I haven't really delved that far into Star Wars, past the movies and a couple of unmemoral fics, but my favorite pairing is Han/Leia.

Hello! I'm a newbie here too. I write mostly original fiction, but I do read fanfic and I understand what you mean by mess.
Welcome around, and let's be newbies together!
Here, have some of my sugar cookies. -

Welcome to the PPC, feel free to leave your sanity at the door. Also, have a wizard hat*. It's nice and sparkly.

Welcome to the board newbie. I'm glad to see that you're already involved in the cause, feel free to report any badfics you find to the current badfic thread. Also, have a Badfic Detector, sure to find any badfic withing a 20 chapter radius. Just don't use it around Legendary Badfics like My Immortal, it might explode.

It's good to see more people joining the cause!
Just be wary of some of those badfics... some of them are just plain scary.
Have a Box of Infinity! Also take some hot bleepolate, in case you encounter anything of Legendary Badfic standard.
Warning! Box of Infinity made in an environment where nuts are also processed. Box of Infinity may cause temporary memory lo- what was I saying? -

Welcome to the PPC. We'd all probably love to have you here, seeing that most other Boarders are rather energetic when greeting new people. Several topics below your intro topic should be a badfic reporting topic, so you can report any badfics you find over there.
Also, have an imaginary cake. It's good for your imagination. -

*accepts the imaginary cake thankfully* Thanks, and thanks again for the info. I will report my hunting results soon.

Welcome to the board. Allow me to be the first to welcome you (for once!). Just take a seat, have a drink, and the doctor will see you shortly. He/she has a screw in his/her head loose but don't worry, we all do. It's a side effect of the procedure.
May I ask what fandoms you're involved in? -

Thanks! Um, I lurk around several fandoms, but I only write in the Star Wars fandom.

My first fanfic wasn't very good - it's riddled with minor grammatical errors (yeah, English is not my first language and I did not request for a beta), but my second one is a parody fic using mixed-up Wish-Fulfillment Sues.
I think I should find a beta for further serious fics.
