Wow. - PPC Posting Board

Livejournal post? by Arktos (Err...) on 2012-04-05 22:57:00 UTC Reply

Hey guys, long time no see :)

I was just wondering, does anyone have any explanation behind the weird post here on the PPC livejournal?

Hmm... by HimochiIsAwesome on 2012-04-05 23:10:00 UTC Reply

I haven't an actual clue, but I'm assuming it's a complaint from someone who had their fic PPC'd.
I think, anyway.
Hey there! by Neshomeh on 2012-04-05 23:08:00 UTC Reply

Nice to see you again! {= D

Regarding that post, there's been a troll going around posting reviews on stories that have been PPC'd, telling how we're all evil and stuff and linking back to us. Maybe this person was tipped off by the troll, though if so, they're the very first one to react like this.

We actually had someone else turn up wanting to join the Board as a result recently, so yeah. *g*

I think I'll reply. *puts on Customer Support Hat and rolls up sleeves*

So hey, do you think you'll be hanging around awhile?

It's from one of my missions. The one with the biker accountants. There is a message on my LJ that I just now found.

So there is. by Neshomeh on 2012-04-06 04:25:00 UTC Reply

Mind if I reply there, too? Not right now, I'm sleepy and not seeing straight, but I would be interested to see if I can engage this person in a dialogue.

Yes, please. by Miah on 2012-04-06 05:11:00 UTC Reply

I would be grateful if you did. I'd probably end up saying something sarcastic that I'd be less proud of later, or just not saying anything to avoid that.

Thank you by Miah on 2012-04-06 19:17:00 UTC Reply

That was a thousand times better than anything I could have come up with. Maybe he'll respond.

The most interesting reaction... by Guvnor of Space on 2012-04-05 23:19:00 UTC Reply

...was the revenge fic. At least, I think it was. It was especially amusing because they got the descriptions of our agents stupidly wrong. I ended up giving them concrit on their fic. I think they might actually be following some of the advice... but they aren't de-suing the Sue or the Stu. Or the OTHER Stu. Of course, that's a biased opinion.

Haha, what? {X D by Neshomeh on 2012-04-05 23:27:00 UTC Reply

I remember someone mentioning that before, but I haven't seen it. Was there a link, or do you have one?

It's dead now. by Ellipsis Flood on 2012-04-05 23:38:00 UTC Reply

Unfortunately. The most interesting point was that everyone who reviewed rooted for the agents, and not for the vengeful Stus.

FF.net blocks that sort of thing, I believe. by JulyFlame on 2012-04-06 00:29:00 UTC Reply

Besides, I wasn't too impressed with a couple of the responses some PPCers were leaving. At least one was just outright mean.
But wait! by Tray-Gnome on 2012-04-06 00:07:00 UTC Reply

I keep archives of (most) of the fics I've missioned/plan to write missions on!

NSFW. Mostly for language. Enjoy!

What? by Sanejane on 2012-04-06 16:05:00 UTC Reply

The poor, wronged Sues are "sick," "evil," "malicious," and "demonic"? How is the reader supposed to feel any sympathy for them?
Wow. by Ivan the Not-so-Terrible on 2012-04-06 09:00:00 UTC Reply

I like the fact that not only were they Sues, they had horribly incompetent opponents. If they were agents on a mission, they would at least have some way to wipe minds. Yet they just sit there, being scared of the Sues. The magic-elf/Human Torch/earthbender/Poison Ivy who had a legendary Pokémon as one of her first 3, and everyone who hates her dies horribly. Overkill-Sue much?
Anyway, I laughed so hard at this. Thanks for the laughs!

That... is hilarious. by Huinesoron on 2012-04-06 00:33:00 UTC Reply

Are you sure it's not a parody? I particularly liked the 'Could I really do it? No! It went against everything I held dear! And then I did it anyway.'.

Madness. Sheer madness.

I would like to note by Guvnor of Space on 2012-04-06 00:10:00 UTC Reply

This is missing at least the last two, largely negative, reviews.

What was the text of those reviews? (nm) by HerrWozzeck on 2012-04-06 04:33:00 UTC Reply

Don't remember by Guvnor of Space on 2012-04-06 04:49:00 UTC Reply

But I do remember the one pretty much told the author that she was a terrible person, in very impolite terms. >.
Actually... by Tray-Gnome on 2012-04-06 04:46:00 UTC Reply

Turns out, all the reviews are there. I think the fic itself got deleted before the reviews.

>.> I probably should have checked that first.

I can't read the google doc. :c (nm) by AnnaBee on 2012-04-06 01:11:00 UTC Reply

Hm... by Tray-Gnome on 2012-04-06 02:33:00 UTC Reply

I messed around with the privacy settings. It should (hopefully) work now. Feel free to email me if it doesn't.

Only kind of awesome by Guvnor of Space on 2012-04-06 00:03:00 UTC Reply

Save for Miah, they were randoms. And it was only kind of awesome because at least one that I remember levied pretty bad personal insults against the author.
