You're not a non-acknowledged part of the organisation. The organisation, Protectors of the Plot Continuum is fictional, as are the written parts of it.

The PPC Community is made up of real, live, factual people, geeky friendly writers who enjoy writing meta-fanfic in a comedic style. What we're asking you is to get to know us, the authors of the (continuing) organisation, as a fellow-author and part of the group. And in that sense, you're not a non-acknowledged part, you are a functioning member.

We prefer functioning members of the group to react respectfully to fellow members, and talk about things other than their characters. If you need a refresher, check the Constitution for a basic guide on community social norms, and suchlike. Don't think of us as a focused office of people trying to organize our Serious Business! We're more like a room with a bunch of people hanging out and talking, while writing and doing other stuff as well.

Perhaps the issue lies in a simple misunderstanding?

DemonFiren, the PPC board is not actually a part of the PPC universe. The agents are not aware of the board (mostly)* nor are the people who post here posting as their agents (again, mostly)**. Yes people post about their missions here, ask for betas and advice, you can seek permission here after a while and once you have permission (or are close probably, but I wouldn't swear to that) you can ask for help tweaking your agents. But mostly it's a place to socialize with other people who have similar fandoms and interests, much like most forums online, and a place to commiserate about bad fic with people who feel the same about it.

*There was that one (or couple) time(s) which kind of ended less than ideally for the agents involved. If you would like to read about what happened when they did find us, Huinesoron chronicled it here

**Sometimes there will be an RP thread pop up and people RP as their agents, but not as their agents on the board, just as if it were happening in HQ.

After all I am not officially involved, it would cause a metafictional breach. Surely you will not be interested in yet another plothole in the form of, say, medicaton invented by no one at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but if it's because, as I was thinking you maybe weren't aware the board was not a part of the PPC universe, then have no fear, it's not! So as
As Neshomeh said hang around, ...interact with us, to get to know us and let us get to know you so we can all see if we actually get along, to talk about whatever subjects interest you, and to learn our ways and established conventions. I've hung around since February and I don't have agents yet, unless you count the less than fleshed out one that will be based on a friend that was only named on the LiveJournal mini-Balrog adoptions because my friend who the agent will be based on wanted her agent to have a mini-Balrog. Regardless, I've been posting here and there since February and haven't got any agents, nor have I applied for permission yet due to the amount of posting I've done, I feel I need to participate a while longer (or much more actively for a shorter period) before taking that step. And I don't believe I've created plotholes by existing. (Please someone tell me if I am, and therefore am doing something wrong!) The point is, you don't have to have an agent or more to hang around and talk to us, so relax, be active, get to know us and vice versa and maybe try bringing these things up again in a month or two. :)

I apologize if I'm wrong and you already knew all this, just thought I'd toss it out there in case. If you were already aware of this, I shall leave you to continue working it out as you see fit. :)

That you're incapable of talking about your fandoms with other members, or giving someone else's story a review, or anything not to do with your character? Really?
