The newbie in question is yours truly, Katie. I'm a teenager, am cracked up by the PPC fics (blame Sara for showing me them), and would like to know more about how this board works. Also, I have a PPC fic in progress, and I want to know if you're allowed to put them up on FF.net.
*waves cheerfully* So...hi! -

You know, associating alcohol with flame wars isn't always that intelligent, but whenever a doozy starts I take a huge swig. Of course, I've never drunk alcohol in my entire life, but hey, when it's all virtual life and you feel like you want to kick yourself...
Okay, that wasn't the most positive introduction. Forgive me.
How are you? What fandoms do you like? (books, movies, comics, almost everything counts) -

Please enjoy your stay! Here you have a first aid spray stolen from Resident Evil IV. Please don't use it on Sues.

Welcome, new friend! Have some pumpkin bombs. Unlike most pumpkins, these are not so great for eating. Like most bombs, however, they are excellent for blowing things up!

I'm typically bad about greeting new folk, but I visit the board so rarely that I typically just miss their threads. Anywho, welcome!
The board, on a technical level, works off of the old (and in my opinion, outdated) BBS system, wherein a person creates a thread, people reply to that thread, and eventually the thread drops off of the first page as new threads are created because, unlike most forums today, new posts in a thread don't push the thread up to the top of the page.
As for PPC fic, I'd like to direct you to the wiki (ppc.wikia.com). Writing for the PPC without Permission is frowned upon. To get permission, you have to hang around for at least a month so that folks can get to know you better, then whenever you're ready you submit a permission request consisting of a writing sample and a write-up of your planned agents.
On the subject of where to put up your stories, I'd recommend Livejournal or DeviantArt, or something similar. FF.Net (known more colorfully around here as "The Pit") tends to look unkindly upon PPC missions. At one point you could put them up, but now I believe it's against the rules. And for heaven's sake, never tell someone you're going to do a mission of their story. -

Welcome, glad t'seeya, et cetera. Have a small portable speaker. You could hook it up to a console but likely the mission alert would be even louder then, so... no.

Leseee...fandoms are Malice, HP, LOTR, and Maze Runner.
And, speaking of HP...has anyone ever tried to take on Ebony [insertridiculousnseriesofnameshere] Way? *almost afraid to hear answer*
Thanks for the lioness! And...the walking stick. Can I use it to have my agent-avatar brain Sues?

Last I checked, there was no real rule against double posting, most likely due to the way the board works and the lack of an edit function.
On the topic of My Immortal, I've heard that someone is currently attempting to take it on, but I can't remember who. It's my opinion, however, that the entire thing needs to just be carpet bombed. This bias has absolutely nothing to do with my attempt at copy-editing the story a while back. -

Well, I was going to break out the imaginary kraken, but if you wanna carpet-bomb it be my guest xD
I feel very, very sorry for anyone who tries to take on the Fic That Must Not Be Named.
Aaaand...has anyone claimed the fic Arma The Shikah? ("There is no Arawen" *shudders*)
