The starting point of joining is coming to the board and saying hello.
You've sort of done that (without the actual saying hello) so: hi, you've now joined the PPC.
To join the PPC in the sense of writing missions you have to be active a bit on the board so people get to know you a bit. Then after a while you post a permission request containing agent bios and a sample of your writing.
Anyway, welcome.
Cut to the chase.
Recently I discovered the PPC and I quite support your cause.
How do you join? (and I do feel like quite an idiot here, because I really have no idea what I'm talking about.) Or...whatever it is? Make agents? Permission? Really, I need someone to explain this all to me.
Thank you in advance.
We love having new people!
As for getting Permission, refer to the other stuffs.
In other news, welcome to the PPC! Here, have some Henri Dutilleux for the road:

Just out of curiosity, what fandoms are you into?
I love meeting people...though slightly blunt and curt at first... =P
Thank you all. I did and my store of knowledge hath expanded.
Me? Fandoms... I have a couple of main ones.
-Kingdom Hearts.
-Final Fantasy (seven, ten, and twelve. Some of thirteen.)
-NCIS
-Pokemon
Then for the smaller ones I dabble in...eh, too many to count, much less to remember. Hahaha! Yet KH remains my one true love.
I'm only really familiar with Pokemon, but still, those are some nice fandoms. I think you'll fit right in: we've been getting a lot of NCIS missions as of late, and it'll be fun to see someone bring more Kingdom Hearts missions to the table.
=D
Yep, into Square Enix's games. Nomura for the win. Really? Awesome! I'll be sure to apply for Permission to do that, after everyone is familiar with (read: bothered by) the awesomeness called Scribbles. (egoooooo...[/shot])
As has already been pointed out, you have justed joined the PPC. Congratulations.
As for the rest of your question: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Permission
That article will tell you everything you need to know about getting permission. I would recommend browsing the rest of the wiki, as well. It is quite full of information of all sorts.

You're supposed to wait a month before asking Permission to get to know everyone, read the Original Series, some of the spinoffs, and some of the wiki.
After at least a month, you can come up with Agents (make a profile of them, while also giving the board a writing sample so they know you can write decently) and bring up a crappy fanfic that need to die. The Permission Givers will decide whether or not you get the go-ahead to write for the PPC.
The point of the month-thingie is to give you time to interact on the Board, express your opinion, etc. In a few words, to make yourself known here, 'cause if Permission Givers don't know you, they won't give you permission.
So, the stress in the interaction, not in the time.
And, by the way, welcome and enjoy this basket of sapient nuts! Just don't try to eat them.
There was a discussion recently on making the guidelines on Permission somewhat clearer, and one thing that went was the hard-and-fast one month waiting period.
See here: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Permission#Q.WhenshouldIaskforpermission.3F
The basic idea (as far as I understand it) is that it's about interaction, not time. The PG needs to know who you are, and that you're active in the community.
