I feel right at home with a lot of people very easily, but I will take your word for it.
Maybe this is expected, but I am a Harry Potter fan. We fave all the books in fact.
Hello fellow humans! And Martians too.~ If there are any.
I'm Michi. :D
I was wondering if I could ask a question. I am interested in joining the board. I don't know much about Lord of the Rings, but I can never hate a genius piece of literature.
I hope that fact won't be a problem.~ I heard from my brother that there are a lot of amazing people here. I can't wait to meet you all. hahaha...
P.S. Sorry for double posting. xD I wanted to put the subject.
Here's a bag of candy and a sonic screwdriver! Please use them responsibly.
Yay for candy!~ And Sonic screwdriver!
If you're worried I will use it to take over the world, Iw on't do that. ^^
Oh good! Please remember that goes for the candy too, the Doctor wouldn't like to see the horror that is mis-used jelly candy. ^^,
Here, have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you wish.
So, what d'ya like?
And my number of pets increases... xDDD
How about Lucy Fer. :P Just kidding. I am not very creative with names. xDDDD
Do not feed it sues.
*Salutes*
Will do. I hope that tiger has a cage. xD
Welcome! Have a Cookie, and enjoy your stay. ^_^
Thanks! I will! :DDD
Yum. Cookies! :DD
...I was asleep when you posted this, I think. Time differences and all that. Either that or I was eating dinner. Anyway! Happy day, happy day.
Here's a bottle of Bleepka! Welcome!
~X.B.
I was asleep when YOU posted this. Either that or I was in the gym or eating breakfast. :P
/Bows
Thank you! Have some Bleepka with me! :DDD
It won't bite, promise.
Nice to meet you :) As I'm guessing the others have probably said, not knowing Lord of the Rings is hardly going to disqualify you from joining our little community, though you may miss out on some jokes and meaningful details as you read the Original Series.
To help you out with learning everything else, here follows the List of Links we give (in some form or another) to every newbie. In short, they are a bunch of 'Go Read This Now Please' urls that actually do give Useful Information. In relative order of sensible-reading-ness, they are:
* The Original PPC Series, which we usually assume you've already read. (Have you?)
* 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
Once again, good to meet you!
I read almost everything.
But thank you for the links. I missed 5 more things I need to read. Now, on to reading! :D
Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
What are your fandoms?
Hi,I'm new here! And Thank you for the scarf, it can get cold here.
I'm a (insane) fangirl of Fullmetal Alchemist, The Percy Jackson series, Carbonel, King of Cats, Many other books that have fled my mind, and, God forbid, The Inheritance Cycle.
I also must warn you that I have a slight tendancing to capitalize random words. That and I'm lucky I have spell check, or you guys would definitely kick me out of here!
Hello!
You are new here too? That is good to know. I was afraid of being the only newbie. I have read a bit of Percy Jackson but the others I haven't much of a clue.
Yay for spellcheck?!~ I need it sometimes too. It is a useful tool.
We can evolve into great PPcers together!
I was afraid the board was dead too, so yay for a reply!
I just re-read my post and read some more of the PPC wiki, and I saw a grammar mistake and I didn't know that being a fangirl was a bad thing. I am not off to a good start here.
Is this Michilovesyoulots?
One of the things we do on the Board is keep to one name only. If you are the same person, at this early point in the game, you can probably announce a change in the name you are going to go by. The original is sort of a mouth full, but please let us know if you are Michilovesyoulots and if you are officially changing your name.
Or, if you are a completely separate person, then I apologize for not recognizing your name.
Hey, everybody makes mistakes sometimes. Some of us more than others. Speaking for myself--I can't post any missions or interludes without a good beta, because of my grammar.
*Poke. Poke. You still alive out there, Pads? poke.* :D
Anyway, I'm sure you'll be fine here.
I don't know what ever possessed me to make an email address that long. It seemed fun that time. I really am sorry. xDDD
This is Michi. I really am sorry for the name. I started changing the settings after I posted this because I was still starting to understand how this site works.
The other person, I think is another new person. ^^;;; I am just replying now because of the time difference. I believe I am from a very different timezone.
I don't mind being asked twice. xD My interests are usually TV shows, Anime/Manga and books like, Harry Potter.
...in the late afternoon to beat me to the punch.
...
Yeah...it isn't that hard to beat me to the punch. I guess I got lucky this time.
Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, won't you?
Who doesn't love chocolate? HAHAHA
Thanks. :D
Have a set of polyhedral random-number generators. Very useful when stuck somewhere with a group of people.
So, you do not know much about the Lord of the Rings, no big deal. What fandoms do you know more about? Which are your favorites. Inquiring minds want to know.
I feel right at home with a lot of people very easily, but I will take your word for it.
Maybe this is expected, but I am a Harry Potter fan. We fave all the books in fact.
Elves, though. And just about anything else.
Here's a box of the complete works of Tolkien. You have a lot of catching up to do.
Actually, LOTR is far from the only thing we're interested in. If you like any book that's fanficced, you should be at home here.
I always wanted to meet an elf! :D I'm 3/4's elf and 2/4 fairy. :DDD Maybe you know my grandma who is 4/9 elf. /dorks
Awww...~ you don't have to. :D I have all the books except for the Hobit. My brother and I got them as a gift from a very nice aunt. I am just starting.~
That is a relief! :D Thanks! but I might join you soon in the LOTR fandom as soon as I finish reading.
...'cause we're always joking about how Mary-Sues can't do math, what with the 1/2 elf, 1/2 goddess, 1/2 fairy, 1/2 sprite, 1/4 nymph, and 1/98484 elephant breeding.
Hoy vey, aren't you a smiley one? :D
Not really. My brother just showed me a fic about something really weird, so I can't help it. xD
I wouldn't mind being part elephant though. An Elephant never forgets, right? I'd kill for that kind of memory. Maybe then I can remember where I always leave my celphone.
Is it a bad thing that I am smiley?
No, it is not a bad thing that you are smiley. Don't change it, a band of insane killers that know they are fictional and that deal with bad slash in 3d could probably use a little cheer. You know?
I want to be an insane killer too. Hahaha...
I'll be the insane killer... with the pleasant smile. ^___^
just goto ppc.wikia.com. Works for me every time.
Thanks~ I will do that. Hahaha...
Welcome, new friend! Have a venomous arthropod!
Out of curiosity, does that mean your brother is someone we know?
I don't think so. But, my brother is a big fan of this Board. He is just too shy to join. Hahaha...
*Salutes*
Will do try then! :D
Thank you! :D
Ohhh... does it come with a cage? Or do I have to get one myself? :D
Hello and welcome, have a Mark 6 phaser.
Just posting here and expressing interest is generally enough to join. :D I hereby present you with a welcome gift of a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.
You don't need to know much about Lord of the Rings to join; just having respect for good writing is favourite, though.
Welcome to the Board!
OOOHHHHHhhh~ Shiny object! :D
Thank you!~
Lord of the Rings is very detailed and sometimes it really intimidates me. xD I have a friend who is a fan. He literally translates a lot of things I can't understand for me. And really? So anything I don't respect is hate...? D:
LOTR is often in need of translation, as I find frequently. XD
And nooo, I didn't mean what I said about respect that way. Just that having respect for good writing (a highly subjective topic at the best of times) is appreciated. But mostly we just like to have fun with it.
*offers Conciliatory Cookie* Sorry for the misunderstanding. :(
*Eating Cookie*
And I have a living and breathing translator. xD
No apology needed. ^^ I was just teasing. I don't like disrespecting works even if I don't like them. But, it is true that sometimes I can't help but have fun with it.
Stop double-posting. It's considered rude, as you keep bumping other people's threads off the page. This one is just annoying, because it's the exact same as your first post.
But on the other hand, welcome to the board. We're all a bit mad here, so we don't mind a bit of insanity and we definitely like people who've read the original LotR series. (By the way, who do you ship in there, if at all? And are you a Legolas fangirl?)
So, reiterating another line: welcome to the board, and have a random heavy object. You can throw it at someone or use it as a paperweight!
-Honu_Wahine
I am not looking for trouble. I already apologized for double posting. I didn't mean to do it, I am new and getting used to the settings. Please forgive me...
Here... want some pie?!~
No, I am NOT a Legolas fangirl. I am not even a fangirl I think.
Bumping people's threads? I only started replying just now. Are you sure that was me? I assure you that I know when I am being rude and when I am not, that is why I apologized... I know that people will not appreciate my double-posting.
Let's get along, please? I don't want to get people angry on my first day here...
