Well, I can't actually remember how I discovered all this, but it's nice here and smells of pleasant pine freshness. I read the original stuff a while back, loved it, read the DoWTF, loved that. Now I'm following it up and MAKING MYSELF KNOWN... Sorry. Hello everyone.

We want all newbies to feel welcome enough to stay to become oldbies. But I know what you mean; I remember feeling giddy for two days after my welcome thread. Makes for a nice comminuty.

Anyway... I don't have crazy things to give like other people, so I will simply wish you the best here, have fun, leave your sanity in the designated area, and welcome newbie.
But maybe I will come up with something...

I see no one has given you The Links yet, so I get to. :)
The Links, if you don't know, are the lot of 'Go Read This Now Please' urls that we throw at every newbie since they actually do give Useful Information. 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 (my!) 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 -

Eats, shoots and leaves is a fantastic book on the proper use of punctuation. There's a panda involved. Oh yes.

Well, I've always been a massive fan of the Discworld series. I've just started reading LotR, too, thanks to this very place! Er. I read a lot of manga, but I'm not sure if you can cover that here...
Also, thanks for the gifts! They make me suspect that you're someone else from England. It was warm today; that was nice. -

Well, Naruto and Bleach. But they're obvious. I read Deathnote ages ago, and am collecting Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and Mahou Sensei Negima at the moment. Right at this moment I'm reading Fairy Tail. I'm open to any recommendations, of course!

I don't like the Big Three much (Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach) but Death Note was amazing.
Reccomendations? Well, I have to say Hikaru no Go. It's drawn by Takeshi Obata, the same person who drew Death Note, but the author's different. I love it. Contesting for my favorite manga...
If you're reading Tsubasa, I'd recommend xxxHOLIC, the sister series--assuming you haven't read it already. It's good. -

I'm a bit scared of reading XXXholic, because of potential spoilers. That said, I've already read 10 volumes ^^;
And a friend of mine has recommended Hikaru no Go in the past, but then put me off by raving about the ending being lame. The art does look amazing, though. -
