Which reminds me I had a plan to write a mission for the Organisation... Also I spotted Phobos (Deimos) and... I think that's it.
I almost want to see an Electropunk fic, though I fear that many metalevels might cause our internets to escape again.
Also I didn't spot myself on there, but then again I might have not clicked on enough bits (and I haven't been on the Board in a while, sadly). I wonder how firemagic would even translate - combustionwitchcraft, perhaps?(KarrinBlue could probably be something like HekateAzure)
Nicely done! by

Very entertaining, although I must admit to being slightly disappointed that it isn't another actual TCDA story - which is what I'd been expecting from the subject line you used. However, this was still good fun to read.
I'm pretty sure I spotted myself on there, and I managed to identify a few others.

Although it did take me several seconds to understand what a 'flawlit' was.
Also, I'm now very tempted to either change my screenname to Eos'Flame, which sounds very nice, or else to write something set in that Board AU (which is more likely to happen).
Also, lovely use of threads.
Electropunk TCDA. ELECTROPUNK TCDA. That is wonderful and amazing.
Who's Professor Challenger? I feel like I should know, considering that Eos'Flame has just written a report set in his world, but I have no idea.
And hey, goodbye anonymous posts! Handwriting is all we need...:D
All in all, wonderful. Although who, I wonder, is the Unnamed Academian?

In the list of Actions in which I am Forbidden to Undertake at the TCDA, there is an item about the Great Detective deducing the true nature of the Citadel.
Is this a Mass Effect reference or was that meant to be some other Citadel?
I got a few. by

Eos'Flame = DawnFire - Eos is the Greek goddess of the the dawn, and flame = fire.
Daisy Snowbound = Lily Winterwood - Flower first name, winter/snow. Also a liking for the works of "the Great Detective".
O'Ershadowed Eagle = you, hS, but that was mostly because of "Davillo and Serenity". Otherwise, I'm not sure how it fits.
Aikaterine = Karen - this took some thought, but Katherine is the short, Anglicized form of Aikaterina, and Karen is further a shortened form of Katherine.
Deimos = Phobos - Simple mythology reference. Also the two moons of Mars.
Psyche = Neshomeh - Nesh has stated that her name means soul, and Psyche means soul in Greek. Also, "Psyche" is in charge of a reference tome, and Nesh does a lot of the wiki organization.
Great Auk = Tawaki - The response to the newbie thread involved a "First Dotterel" - aside from the phrasing, a quick search on "dotterel" revealed it to be a bird in the plover family.
SlyWitch = VixenMage - took some thought, but now that I see it it seems obvious.
Unknown Graphologist = Nameless Admin
I'm confused on the identity of A, though. PPCers usually have complicated, creative names.
This made me want to read the TCDA, and while I have difficulty understanding some of the AU terminology and don't know some of these agents' prime counterparts, I find the imitation of Victorian writing really accurate and the stories entertaining and clever.
I confess, I've never been a fan of the Victorian era. Too...proper, and the female fashions have never appealed. But against my prior judgments, I do like the TCDA, and may try to write in it some time.

Not me, though... But, I wasn't too hopeful, since I haven't been on in a while, and how would my username even translate in Victorian speech?
(Astounding Bespectacled SC, I guess?)
I did find, however, DawnFire, the Admin, and I think Tawaki.

I get the feeling that I'm Daisy Snowbound on there. And Swordsman of Hibernia is probably the Irish Samurai, and Deimos is Phobos, isn't it?
Oh, that's brilliant! by

I especially liked how they were writing Jay and Acacia.
