I guess my sanity is going to a good cause, I just love those huge, drooling, flesh-ripping puppy dogs!

So, I guess this would be my official entering into the PPC board. This is actually my first time on the board, the last couple of weeks have been spent on the Wiki, learning what's what and following the links to adventures or random PPC Agents.
I'm actually glad i found this (The PPC), theres been a huge lag in all the good machinama and abridged series.
Anyway, I was watching Metal Gear abridged, and the third episode had this song I was interested in (carameldansen), so I searched for a whole version of it, and the video was of an anime called Lucky Star, which I ended up watching. After a couple episodes, I went on a quick jaunt to FF.Net, and found it had an (understandably) small fandom.
Among them, was one that was for the Anti-Cliche and Mary-Sue elimination society, and after reading it I was confused. Another quick jaunt to TvTropes, lead me to an explanation of it, and led me to the PPC which sounded a lot better to me. Fastforward a couple of weeks (and about 20 or so PPC stories) and here I am!
So, theres my strange story of getting here, and i'm interested in joining, one month waiing period dosent sound bad to me at all. So, to everyopne out there, NICE TO MEET YOU ALL! -

Finally, there's something I've just got to ask; What are your Fandoms? If I'm lucky, we've got a few in common, and I'm just inclined to ask. -

All the info was great, filled in a couple of blank spots I had.
As for my Fandoms, I'm into Naruto, Harry Potter, Lucky Star, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Inuyasha(lightly) and Icarly.
The last is more of a used-to-be kind of thing, however, there are a few Badfics that I can remember, so it's all good I suppose.
What Fandoms are you into? -

Just keep a copy of those links around so you can help out another Newbie when it comes time, and all shall be good.
As for fandoms, I'm glad you asked. I'm into Negima, Disgaea, Persona, Bleach, Naruto (only some, taking awhile to make my way through the backlog of episodes, y'see), Death Note, Code Geass, Soul Eater, Chobits, Gravitation, When They Cry, Harry Potter, Dune, Artemis Fowl, Lord of the Rings (Not much though, pretty much just The Hobbit really), Gorillaz, and I used to really be into The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy when I was younger and it was still on the air. Oh, and did I mention that I am really, really into Disgaea? Those games will make you into a level-grinding fanatic if you're on a tight budget. -

I love Disgaea too! I'm borrowing Disgaea 2 from my friend. I love going to the Item World, so much to do, so little actual time. Come to think of it, I haven't even LOOKED for any disgaea fics, I should try, could find something good. Or something REALLY bad, then I can spork it! Win-win scenario!
I've read a LOT of fanfics (see: dad getting angry at my habit of reading). Though I tend to not even look for new fandoms. Well, variety is the spice of life, more fandoms, more chances for ideas.
Naruto, poor Naruto. I used to love the series like my first video game (Sonic the Hedge Hog 3). After Shippuden started, it just seemed to veer off into "who has the better power-up," kind of like Dragonball GT. Though I still enjoy the fandom immensely. -

Another Disgaea fan! Hmm, I prefer the 3rd game myself, but I did like the fact that you could actually tank in D2, unlike all the 1-shot fests higher levels tend to boil down to in the other two.
As for Disgaea fics, Well, they're definitely out there, and I have seen a few good ones and quite a few bad ones, so take your pick. Actually, I've got one of each you can look at if you're so inclined.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5856060/1/FailtotheKing
That one's one of my favorite Disgaea fics out there, although it'll have some spoilers, and you won't recognize a bunch of the characters unless you've played the third game. Still, worth a read IMO.
<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5851384/1/DISGAEAJudgmentDay">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5851384/1/DISGAEAJudgment_Day
This one, on the other hand... Well, it's a nonsensical scriptfic that throws practically everyone OOC, most notably Pleinair and Almaz, who I'm thinking are a pair of character-replacements, and that's just in the first chapter. There's twenty six chapters in all.
As for Naruto, It's too bad it fell into the typical shonen super-power surge, but honestly, where else could it have gone, harem comedy? Ehh, it's still pretty cool-looking stuff, and it has one hell of a community, so it gets a passing grade, even if it does need to shave off a couple dozen pounds of filler. -

Yeah (shudders) I am SO glad it never came to that. Cthulhu knows that there are way too many harem fics for the fandom as it is.
The final nail in the coffin for the series, for me, was probably all the "new" powers of the Sharingan, it just seems too much like an instant power up device to me. Dont get me wrong, I liked it until the whole Mangekyo stage, then it got ridiculous.
I don’t hate it though, it actually keeps the story interesting, unlike so many anime, which just peter out.
I also like the Persona series, I was watching my friend play it, we got a lot of laughs out of it. We're both extremely genre savvy, avid readers of tvtropes, and he spends a lot of time in forums, so it was endless amusement. -

Yeah, I used to have the most problems with grammar, usually the use of commas. Now that I’m writing again, I'll be paying a lot more attention to that kind of thing in fics, instead of just reading them. I also, for some bizarre reason keep switching the n and the g in words.
Thanks! I love Platypi (or is it Platapodes?), my favorite animal actually. I got a stuffed one 7 years ago, to be funny I named him Quack.
I Always got a laugh out of explaining Platypi to people, they just end up calling me nuts (though it might be somewat true).
