...and I must say I've fallen in love with what little I've read of the PPC. Found you guys last night on TV Tropes, and after persusing the Wiki a little and reading one of Kana and Cerrin's missions, I decided whole-heartedly upon throwing my lot in.
But first, as per the permission guidelines, I shall lurk here for a while. So hi thar. -

Have an eyass (that's a baby hawk). Treat her well, feed her on Generic Meat and mice. And Sues. She will help you kill them if she likes you. If she does not like you, she will eat your face, but that's what you get for dealing with predators.

Hmm... Surely it can't be any more dangerous than the other questionable pets I've been given. Certainly seems like it'll be the most useful.

Or not so much, considering how many people I've greeted by now. I'm also waiting for the first month to be up and Real Life to become a bit more sane. Which won't happen in a month, but I'll decide how insane it is when the time comes.
Hey, I also found them on TV tropes! And I'm a Star Wars fan. At least, that's what I'm going to PPC. If your agents do it too, we could have them run into each other sometimes.
So have a - I almost gave you a flamethrower, but those don't seem well-received here. Have a lighter so when you meet something bad, you can Kill It With Fire. And some chocolate, because Everything's Better With Chocolate. -

*Slips the lighter into a pocket* I just know I'll need that at some point - ooh, a potential collaborator already? Well, I'll certainly keep you in mind if I stumble across any SW badfic which is so unforgiveably bad that two Agents just aren't enough... But by the Grey Lady and her Holy Hat, let's pray that never happens. <_>

Well, I'm going to be in Improbable AU, so if you're in, say, Mary Sues, an AU badfic with a Mary Sue in it would be better done by collaboration.

Generic Meat, eh? Should be plenty of that around Azeroth if I ever take on a WoW mission. I never used the lootable meats anyway...

Well, so long as it isn't speshul. Then I'd have to smash it in some unnecessarily complex and convoluted manner for the sake of putting it to an interesting end.
...Fortunately, that isn't the case, so thanks very much. Might prove useful once I actually get around to writing my first mission. I've got a whole month, at the least, to decide on my chosen fandom. -

Perish the thought! Beside transfer options (as Jay and Acacia do in the original series), there's an entire Freelance Division of the Mary-Sue Department in which agents like mine take on 'Sues from all sorts of fandoms. There's also the Department of Floaters, which take many different mission types. You're not restricted to one fandom. :)

Hi.
Have a welcome hug. And the bumper stickers are somewhere back there.
On another note, I would suggest reading the Original Series at misssandman.com. It explains a lot. And it's good. And funny.
Anyway... A warm welcome to you. -

Funny it certainly is. I've just gotten into Chapter 7, but I must admit the repetition of Rivendell is starting to grate on me a little...

Guaranteed to have you alternately pulling your hair out in frustration and cooing at all the pretty bullets! Make sure all possible distractions are gone before you play, as nothing is more frustrating than losing a boss fight because the doorbell rang.

I'm sure someone else will do a better job with the Useful Links, but I'll do my best. Huhm, you have the Wiki already, I guess the next important link would be The Original Series, so here you are:
http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/story.html
I'll assume you obeyed orders to read the Board Constitution.
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/KilledBadfic
That is the Killed Badfic; it's also a pretty good list of all major missions. If you run into some Agents you particularly like, you can just hunt through their pages for missions.
The FAQs you are most likely to need:
<a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:TheBoard">http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:TheBoard
<a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:ForNewbies">http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:ForNewbies
And the overall guide to the PPC:
<a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/GuidetothePPC">http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Guidetothe_PPC
You've probably found most of those, if you've been poking around the wiki, but I figured I'd drop them off anyway just in case you hadn't.
Oh! And my gift to you: One steamer trunk with infinite capacity (trust me, you are going to need it) and a plover, to be friends with the one Tawaki gave you. (Because plovers get lonely too.) -
