There've been a couple of efforts in this direction (er... mostly by me, see Generic Surface and The Children's Book), but you're thinking of something more mainstream...

There's an Australian children's series called Fairy Tale Police Department (FTPD) which is alarmingly close to being the PPC on TV. This one. I won't say it's brilliant (it was free on LoveFilm.com last I checked, so we watched a couple of episodes), but it is surreal watching, well, a pair of bickering people in uniform trying to fix stories which keep going wrong. Surreal as heck.

The main problem with the PPC-as-show is, er, two problems. First, the PPC itself still belongs (sorta) to Jay and Acacia. Otherwise, I'd be the first to try and sneak it into the real world. The second problem is that it consists virtually in its entirety of playing with other copyrighted works - which, yeah, doesn't go down too well. If we could overcome the first part (which... would pretty much consist of the Board agreeing to) we'd still have to make it all Sherlock Holmes, E. Nesbit and H.G. Wells. Or Dickens... well, it could work, I suppose.

On the /other/ hand... if we had several PPCers living near each other, they could probably get together regularly and make film versions of specially-written missions. Sure, they'd have to be set in whatever environments they could reach, but it could be done.

Any volunteers?

Every new topic made pushes an old one off the edge of the page. And since most of us don't read past the first page for replies, that ends the discussions on them very quickly-- not to mention that our space here is finite, and eventually the topics past disappear forever. So we generally prefer that you keep the new threads to a slower pace-- you can reply to old threads all you want, but creating two new ones in a row, unless you have very good reason, is generally a bad idea. Likewise with badfic threads-- if you have a new badfic to report, first check to make sure there's not a thread already up to report/claim.

This is especially right now, since we really need people to see the Permission Givers topic. If you are interested in poking people at higher speeds, check out the link to our IRC channel up at the top of the page-- it's a fun place to hang out! Lots of fellow PPCers about.

(But yes, watching the PPC Cartoon Series would be awesome. We do have a webcomic in the form of LEGO, by hS somewhere, and there's a radio play.)
