Ahh, the first crossover!

New Newbie by Matthew72 on 2011-11-16 22:01:00 UTC Reply

Hello, PPC, PPC fans, and other anonymous Mr's and Mrs'. I'm a new person looking to join the PPC, as is made clear in my title making that entire statement kind of unnecessary.
I just want to make my existence known to the general public.
I hope I can enjoy my time here and I look forward to doing so. As well as, hopefully, making some of your time more enjoyable.
I also look forward to doing that.

I just realized... by Guvnor of Space on 2011-11-18 03:05:00 UTC Reply

I never introduced myself and just responded to the spambot...

Welcome, new person! May your days here be fruitful as well as full of other nutritiousness foods. If your looking for something that makes me unique among all these other awesome folks, remember that I'm the one with the slightly silly name.

1) Who do I go to for "permission"
2) Any chapters you suggest I read before writing my own
3) Any rules or other random information I should know about PPC
It would be very helpful if someone could answer any of these questions for me, or at least show me where I can find this information.
And, in advance, thank you.

Permission by Neshomeh on 2011-11-18 00:57:00 UTC Reply

Pretty much everything about permission can be found here, including some recommended reading.

As for other rules and information, the "Getting started" section of the wiki's front page has links to various articles that fall into that category. (I'm assuming you've already seen the Board Constitution, but if not, there's a link at the top of the Board as well as from the Permission page and the wiki's front page.) If there's any information you can't find, though, just let us know. {= )

*pokes the newbie* Squee!

Ahem ...

Welcome! Have a fruit basket and a pair of ice skates. So, how did you find us?

How I found you. by Matthew72 on 2011-11-17 11:54:00 UTC Reply

I was on a Wiki Walk on TvTropes, as I am every other day, and I stumbled across one of the other Mary Sue Hunters. Upon further inspection into the genre, I found you guys, started reading some missions, and decided I liked it. So, here I am.

Which ones have you read? by Neshomeh on 2011-11-17 20:43:00 UTC Reply

I'm sure the author(s) would love to hear what you thought, if they're around.

Also, welcome! {= D

Right now, I'm still reading the Original Series. I have this crazy OCD-ish habit of having to read everything in chronological order.
...and, being a fervent Grammar Nazi.
I know, I'm weird.
Also, a belated thank you to you all for welcoming me.

Nah, not that weird. {= ) by Neshomeh on 2011-11-19 04:39:00 UTC Reply

Lots of us are Grammar Nazis, and reading the entire Original Series is definitely a good start. *g*

What's your favorite so far?

If you mean my favorite chapter, it would probably be chapter 17 of the Original Series.
Speaking of which, I just finished reading the OS. So, I can finally begin with other people's missions and various other stuff.

My original agent pair is in the DIC, so I can definitely relate. The bit at the end of the mission with the lightsabers is particularly great, and I love the Lichen-that-sounds-like-John-Cleese. ^_^

The DIC isn't a big draw, unfortunately, but there are a few of us with agents there, and you'll find crossover missions here and there in various spin-offs if you're interested in that sort of thing. I recommend looking up continuum pages on the wiki. The big ones (LotR and Harry Potter come to mind) have crossover mission sections.

Crossovers by Matthew72 on 2011-11-20 05:13:00 UTC Reply

I just found that entire chapter extremely amusing. Jay's disposal of the Sith and Dark Matrix, and, of course, the lightsabers stick out to me.

Whenever I receive permission I may station someone in the DIC, temporarily or otherwise, as I can see a lot of potential in that area.
Either that, or just have a couple of Floaters. I could also see there being many of crossovers with continuities I'm not familiar with.

I shall definitely look into it though.

Welcome to the Board! It's always nice to have new people arriving. Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.

What fandoms are your favourites?

Re: Greetings! by Matthew72 on 2011-11-17 11:58:00 UTC Reply

I am an avid video game player, so most anything from Nintendo, as well as the Portal franchise, and a few others. I also like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Digimon, and I'll be able to add the Inheritance (Eragon) series to that list within the next two weeks.

Almost Forgot. by MAtthew72 on 2011-11-19 14:31:00 UTC Reply

Kingdom Hearts is also a notable fandom of mine. Can't believe I forgot that one.

Good to have you a-Board! by doctorlit on 2011-11-17 01:44:00 UTC Reply

Greetings, new friend! Have a Good Book. Try to keep it away from the Bad Book.

I'm sorry your first PPC message had to be from a spambot.

But welcome! We love new people here! Have an Official Hipster Scarf as a welcome present - oh, you probably haven't heard of it. ;)
