Essentially. It means "appropriate for all ages."
K+, should you run into it, is roughly 12-14 or older, T is 16ish or older, and M is Mature Readers Only.
They are, in order, roughly analogous to the BBFC's "U", "12A"/"12", "15", and "18".
Hello there, everyone. I'm a newcomer to this board. I'm not really sure what to say other than "Hi!' and "I sometimes speak in Fangirl Japanese, please don't maim and/or smite me! D:" I guess I'll just slowly introduce myself through talking to you all. I find that's the best approach. :D
(P.S: If I slip up on grammar/spelling, do let me know. I don't run forum posts through a spellchecker, and Firefox's built in one is rubbish.) I look forward to talking to you all soon! :)
Have a shoebox of random items. At least one of them is guaranteed to be useful... probably.
Have some Swiss Chocolate and some Bleepka. They'll come in handy pretty soon.
Have some cookies. They contain Schrodinger's chips, so they may or may not have chocolate in them.
So, what're your fandoms? LoTR? Discworld? Video games, cartoons, film?
Hey, have you seen Nanoha or Madoka?
@Fire: No, I have not. I'm not really a fan of Magical Girl stuff. (I'm sure I've heard that they are Magical Girl anime{'s?}} I also like discworld. Lots. So. Much. :D
@Dramatic:Ah, thanks for the Bleepka. I'm more of a fan of NM&NM's though, and also my own creation, Dr.Bleeper. Full of Caffiene, Sugar, AND Bleeprin!
...What Pumpkin?
(If you understand the joke, you get a cookie.)
*noms on cookie*
Here, have another cookie. Pumpkin flavor.
Thanks for the cookie. :P *nom*
No maiming for honeymoon period of three seconds, ja!
*waits for the smiters to come smite*
No! Don't smite me! Smite that white stickperdon over there!
They're going to smite me first, 'cause I said ja. So... run!
I'm not an Infidel!!! Uaaaaaaaah!!! D:!!!!!!!!!
(Oh Dear. That amount of exclamation marks CAN'T bode well..)
Looks like the I***** O***P****s are eating lunch.
Have a wizard hat, magic not included. So, what are your fandoms?
I don't really write fanfiction for anything, but the works I enjoy are numerous. I like a lot of Anime/Manga, and most works by Square Enix end up in my games collection (which is numerous). I am also a big fan of the webcomic Homestuck, but there's a lot of other stuff besides that. Like Fire Emblem, and Hitchhiker'(?)s Guide To The Galaxy, And, And, And, Andandandand...
Welcome to the Board fellow newbie. Have a Tounge of Many Tounges. It's a plastic tounge that speaks most languges mostly fluently. That may help your clear up your fangirl Japanese. Also, what are your fandoms?
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?
Hi, have some fudge!
It's nice to meet you~ I don't want to ramble too much, so I'll just hand you this box of infinity and leave.
Warning! Box of infinity can be hazardous to health. Do not open while operating heavy machinery. HimochiIsAwesome is in no way responsible for any eels that come out of said box of infinity.
Thanks for even more welcomes and lethal gifts guys! I'm already starting to feel at home. :D
Have a cookie. Contains distilled Essence of History.
Warning: Essence of History causes uncontrollable searching for obscure historical facts. Like how Napoleon planned his battles in a sandbox.
Welcome, new person! Mind the craziness that often happens, and look out for bad fanfics!
Here, have some John Adams for the road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1oOUJRpJW0
Greetings, new friend! Here, help yourself to the bag of venomous arthropods. Don't worry; they don't bite!
Thanks for all the welcomes and potentially lethal e-Presents, guys! :D
Hello there! Welcome to the PPC! Please leave a part of your sanity at the door.
@Crimson: Sanity? What's that? Is it SHINY?
@Sea: Well..uh. Thanks..? uh...Water that is afraid of itself? what? uuurgh.
It is. Sanity is a rather shiny thing.
Welcome to the Board! Have some of my world-infamous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. The Board's favourite* drink**!
*As voted by one person.
** Do not drink. Keep the hydrophobic water away from heat, cold, light, dark, reality, and anti-reality at all times.
Or should I say, Konbanwa. *shot by every Boarder in reach*
Have a plushie Edward Elric.
@Anna:That's good evening, right? And thanks for the plushie :D! (I haven't actually watched FMA...)
@Data: I seem to be pre-empting you a lot. Maybe I' psychic? :P
Wait. Sue Blood?! Eeew, so glittery and saccharine!
Welcome and hello!
Because I'm terrible at coming up with gifts, I instead dispense advice: If you haven't already, you should check out our wiki. Especially the guides and FAQs. They'll give you a pretty good idea what we're about. Better than TvTropes, at least, which seems to be where most of the new people are coming from. Also, mocking is (in my case, at least) good-natured, and directly proportional to the amount of Otakuese used in my presence.
Now that that's out of the way, what're some of your fandoms? (And, if you're comfortable with answering it, what're your preferred pronouns?)
Ooh, chocolate!
Okay. Question: What does the "K" rating on the claimed/unclaimed badfic lists on the wiki mean? I'm English, so I don't know much about American ratings. I'm assuming it means something like "Kiddie".
Essentially. It means "appropriate for all ages."
K+, should you run into it, is roughly 12-14 or older, T is 16ish or older, and M is Mature Readers Only.
They are, in order, roughly analogous to the BBFC's "U", "12A"/"12", "15", and "18".
@Data: Thanks for the welcome! I've already been 'round the wiki! But thanks for trying to give some advice! As for the gifts problem, why not try giving out bumper stickers?
Moving on to gender and fandoms: I'm a he. I didn't realize that I hadn't actually referred to myself as such! Fandom-Wise, I don't actually write any fanfiction, and the list of stuff I like is huge, but Homestuck and a lot of Square-Enix stuff is high on the list, so I guess you couod say those :P!
(P.S: I had actually found out about the ratings just before you posted, but thanks anyway :D)
D'you write fanfiction of your own? If so, have you published it anywhere online?
D'you maybe write original fiction?
I haven't written anything for a long time, I haven't had any inspiration. Up until stumbling upon this place, that is!
Bumper stickers are someone else's thing. I may start giving out shots. Of Sue Blood. Not sure.
It's the rating Fanfiction.net uses.
-Scratches beard-
Here, have some e-chocolate, and a cup of tea. Just watch out for the leaves, they might try to eat you :P
