First off, you have joined the PPC. You're in. You're One of Us. You post on the 'Board and you talk to people and join conversations, ergo you are a PPCer.

Now, as to your actual question, how to get permission... that's a bit trickier. I'm trying to remember what the issues were with your previous attempts, and the first thing that comes to mind is that you didn't wait very long at all between them. Give it some time - do some reading, some thinking, some drawing-board-time, and, very importantly, send your stuff to betas for review. I can't recommend that enough - it is very, very important that you get your stuff proofread and beta'd.

There's no limit to the amount of times you apply for Permission, but if you keep throwing yourself against the door every week or so, you're going to more annoy people than increase your chance of a positive response.

Just... proofread your stuff. Submit an original writing sample that you've taken good care of (because we'll expect you to be taking good care of all your writings), and look around for agents that work. There's no Winning Formula-- just do your best, and the key to that is making sure it is your best. As in, you've worked hard and spent time on it, and cared about the quality enough to put it through the ringer of editing.
