Hello PPC by

Well I stumbled onto the PPC through TV Tropes, and after reading through the Original Series and bouncing around the wiki for a couple of days I thought I'd come over here and introduce myself.
Reading (mostly Sci Fi and Fantasy) has been a passion of mine ever since I can remember, and several years ago I started writing an original work, which a couple of years ago basically collapsed under its own weight. Recently I thought about doing some short stories to try and ease my way back into writing, and the PPC seems like a brilliant place to do that; I just love the concept of Agents going in a fixing the problems badfic can cause. My first foray into 'the Pit' has left me with a healthy respect for what that stuff can do to your brain.
My fanons are far, far to numerous to list (partly because I feel that I've rambled enough already, mostly because I doubt I could list them all from memory anyway. Picking a few at random; Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time, Old Kingdon/Abhorsen, Ghost in the Shell, Star Wars and James Bond.
So, yeah... hello everyone *waves* -

Yay, more pets!
Thank you for the welcome and the gift. Can I interest you in this humming bird? (Not a hummingbird, but a parrot that hums instead of talking). -
Thanks. Think it can do Enya? by

Oh, wait, no, if I say that the assassins will be after me for having a CAF (cute animal friend).

Yeah it could probably manage some Enya, and I wouldn't have thought you'd have too much to worry about from the assassins (unless you've been meddling - I hear they are heavily armed and quick to anger).
From the little browsing I've done there are going to be far higher priority targets than a Boarder with a CAF. I've just found a Trigun piece with 8 OCs, all of whom look like they're going to be Sues or Stus, with major villains randomly resurrected for no more reason than having them fall for the OCs. I'm thinking about using it for my first mission, assuming it doesn't melt my brain first. -

And it's positively overflowing with alliteration! This looks like a magnificent weapon.
Ouch! It's very sharp; I'll have to be more careful with it in the future. Can't wait to try it out on my first Sue.
Here, have a Distraction (I probably shouldn't carry the Distraction and the Sword at the same time). -

Hmmm, works as jet fuel you say? I have been looking for something to develop a new flamethrower fuel from - this could be just the thing!

Ooh shiny! I get some of the best gifts here. Out of interest, what happened to her, to render her into her base constituents so effectively?
I don't have anything similar to offer in return, but I do have these pink wafer biscuit things, feel free to take some. -

Just noticed that I used 'fanons' instead of 'fandoms', and the wrong kind of 'to', and both of those in the same sentence as well. I'll try to do a more thorough proof-read before posting next time.
Out of interest, is there any way of editing a post I've already made? I couldn't find one. -

Thank you for the plover, would you like this polar bear repelling mallard? As long as it is allowed to quack at least once a day, you shouldn't find any polar bears within 10 miles.

Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object, as they are both useful and fun. And I sympathise with the writing - sometimes it's hard to keep a piece of work going. -

Thank you :)
Shiny things are useful (and shiny - which may or may not be redundant). Would you like a super-bouncy ball? Guaranteed* not to cause any property damage or personal injury whatsoever.
Sounds like you've had to discard projects in the past, it's always a shame. I'm hoping that I'll be able to rescue it, or at least salvage some of the characters etc., but I need to start with a slightly smaller scale project before tackling that one again. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm writing missions!

That is a very nice hat; I think first off I shall try a musketeer's hat, in dark red with a white feather.
*tries hat on*
I like it! I just so happen to have a spare pair of Cool Shades that I can give in return, if you're interested. You can't change the style, but you can alter their colour by tapping them against things.
