Well met, newbie! Please enjoy this 1-up as a welcoming gift.

To aid you in killing Sues.

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?

*I am jealous*

Have a Skör bar. And some plastique. And don't ask me where either came from.
*Everyone has stashes, you know*

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQs.

Perfect for painting over burns, arrow-holes, and ominous stains on RC walls!

Just made a short visit to your profile on Ffnet. Like your statement on Steven Moffat. Gave me the giggles. Still does. First time I read it, it was posted by someone who didn't agree. That gave me even more giggles.

Other statements like that that made me laugh are those by fans who after CoE said they wanted Steven Moffat to have written the third series of Torchwood. I've been saying Moffat should write Torchwood since series one of Torchwood. Because I wanted a story like CoE. I doubt Moffat would have not killed Ianto. These fans believe he would have kept Ianto alive. I think they are not very familiar with Moffats other work.

As for protocol: I'd written a few PPC missions before I found the board. I don't think it has been held against me.

Do not feed it Sues. Generic Meat would do.

That's "hail" as in the greeting, not as in the frozen precipitation.

Welcome to the Board! Fun, there be another Cassie here (with different spellingses, precious). :D

I hereby present you with a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object, which I hope will serve you well.

Have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you wish.

So, are you into old Who or new?

Great for writing up charges.



(I did not make the above-pictured quill pen, sadly. I make other stuff with feathers though...)

I suspect I'm at least partially to blame for linking you here, although you should probably blame Miah as well. Regardless, welcome to our little corner of the internet!

*gives Kassy a PPC bumper sticker*

I'm an IRL nerd as well - Lord of the Rings is awesome, as are the works of Neal Stephenson.

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

I am so glad you are still interested in the PPC, and came to hang out with us.

Here, have a cupcake! *hands you one*

While you're at it, have a Pidgin! they're terribly useful! They can speak a simplified linguistic mashup, which is amazingly useful when you want to... um... annoy someone?

.... Please take one, they're reproducing in my RC and even my partner's seventeen cats and my German Shepherd haven't gotten rid of them. I'd offer you two, but then you might have the same problem I am...

Welcome, new friend!

Have a purebred Shih Tzu! It doesn't speak Chinese, but it does like to play video games.

Welcome to the board! Have a sonic screwdriver and a bag of jelly babies, please use responsibly!

Yes, that is my strange and useless newbie gift. Treasure it.

Nice to meet you :) As the others have said, no worries at all about taking on Sues yourself! We don't have a monopoly on that; the only thing we're protective of is the shared world of the PPC - our methods and gadgets and history and so on, which is why we have people ask Permission before they write for us, but by no means are we the only ones. So don't worry. :)

And of course, as Baird has said, we don't just kill Sues - that's how it started, but we've branched out. Anyway, here are The Links, are a collection of articles and other useful URLs that we politely ask every newbie to read, as they really do contain Useful Information. It's a lot of information, but it should explain everything you need to know about the PPC.

In relative order of sensible-reading-ness, they are:

* The Original PPC Series, which we assume you've already read.
* The List of Killed Badfic, which will direct you to a large number of non-Original PPC Missions.

The Board:
* The Board Constitution
* The FAQ: For the Board

The Wiki:
* We have our very own PPC Wiki
* The very-important-to-read-before-requesting-Permission Permission article
* Our Guide To The PPC
* The Mission Writing Guide
* The Slash-Sporking Guide
* The FAQ: For Newbies.
When you are ready to edit the wiki, make sure to read Neshomeh's excellent editing tutorial.

And finally, but very usefully,
* The List of Everything PPC


Hope you're not feeling overwhelmed. Again, lovely to meet you :)

Hello I'm Silver and welcome to the party. Here, have a shotgun loaded with rock salt rounds, good for taking out ghosts, wraiths, and author-wraiths. And now I leave you with a blessing.

Syo ouin cfunt cdyo crynb, syo ouin yes cdyo dnia, yht syo ouin vuac cdyo tayt.

I'm supposing you were contacted because of the discussion we had on the IRC last night. We (then again, I didn't add much to the conversation...) concluded that PPC-style fics are fanfiction like any other, so we can't go shooting all non-Boarder, PPC fic writers in the face. However, the outliers should be linked to the Boards since many might not know of them. So you're not in trouble...yet. *evil laugh*

Enjoy your stay, and have a multi-purpose pineapple. Good for emergency rations when sliced or diced, and it makes a great blunt weapon when cornered.

Hey there, fellow newbie! It's good to know that I'm no longer the newest newbie over here! Hope you have a good time exploring PPC!

No one is going to jump down your throat for writing a PPC-style fic. There are plenty of other organizations out there doing much the same thing. What we do care about is your total geekiness, which we love.

Also, the PPC is about more than just killing Sues. We handle all manner of badfic. You can find more information on these pages: The Department of Bad Slash, The Department of Implausible Crossovers, The Department of Technical Errors, and The Department of Geographical Aberrations just to name a few.

Enjoy your stay, sanity free.
