MMh... No more Sue invasions... Am I late or am I very, very lucky?
However, I spent some time on the links, and i'm surely not going to mess up things for my own fun. After all, i'm only a rookie here.
Hi to all! My name's Sergio and i stumbled on PPC... And liked it very much.
So... what should be said about myself? I'm a great fan of Card Captor Sakura (Messing with Sakura with me around si not safe), but I also like Detective Conan, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, NCIS and Bones. Maybe, if one day I get Permission, I wil help out in the endless crazy-driving work of fighting badfict. (Not that I am completely sane already...)
Welcome, welcome.
Have some Sue hunting weaponry that you'll never use because it's from an obscure fandom. :)
No problem, I already have all I need. A Beretta 92 and a knife should be enough for most Sues in modern settings.
A little question I didn't found answer on the Wiki. Who writes PPC's spinoffs is allowed to make new gadgets? Because I had an idea for a funny new one.
It's called Random Sue Execution Gun (RSEG). A small pistol that when aimed at a Sue transforms itself into a single-use very different weapon, mostly illogical ones (A non-functional rifle with a giant sue-smashing hammer hinged to it, for example). And very often, being PPC tecnology, useless/self destructing ones. As a rubber ducky gun.
Hello! Nice to meet you. I know none of your fandoms, so my gift to you is a Featherduster of Steel. Have fun!
Feed it only Generic Meat.
I had already read almost all Jay&Acacia missions, and also a lot of pages from the Wikia. I didn't, however, read all the rules on the "things you must not do in HQ". Astonishingly long, and I couldn't stop myself from laughting.
So... When is next Sue invasion? I want to spend some bullets!
Specifically, see the Guide to the PPC, section 2.2: What NOT to Write. Then check out my other post in this thread and go through the rest of the links. {= )

Things on this Board got quite heated for a while, before we settled the question by making this particular 'ruling'. No one likes spats, so count yourself lucky. Sue invasions don't tend to end up being that much fun, anyway.
Well, I'll fix that--though honestly, you seem to have a grasp of what's what already, which is nice. {= ) Anyway, first things first:
*pokes*
It's traditional. {= )
Now, the aforementioned links. The first one, of course, is to the Original Series. If you haven't read it, that is the first thing you should do, since it's what this whole glorious panoply is based on.
Second, if you are so inspired that you want to write your own PPC spin-off, you need to find out how to get Official Permission to do so.
After that, there are several pages on the PPC Wiki and elsewhere that contain useful and important information. In order of sensible reading-ness, as Sedri says, they are:
* The PPC Board Constitution, because it's Da Rules;
* The Board FAQ if you're not quite sure how to use this quaint old thing;
* The Guide to the PPC,
** FAQ for Newbies,
and eventually the
** Mission Writing Guide, written by Sedri with support from the Board.
You may also eventually be interested in Trojie's Slash-Sporking Guide if that's your thing.
If you wish to edit the wiki at any point, you should definitely check out my new Editing Tutorial.
And, of course, you should check out as many PPC spin-offs as possible. The Complete List of PPC Fiction and the List of Killed Badfic are good places to start.
And that is quite enough to be going on with. Welcome!

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
Yay! Another NCIS fan!
Weclome to the PPC Posting board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay here!
Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. Also, here's a four-inch square of window glass and some peanut oil.
I'm into Detective Conan too! Here, have glasses that act just like Conan's, except with Sues!
Help yourself to a venomous arthropod!
You sound like you will do well here. I would, however, recommend having someone (friends work well) read over your stories before you post them. You never know what they might find that could be improved. Oh, and here's your welcome gift: a bladed yo-yo.
Please enjoy this Economy-size bottle of Bleeprin as a welcoming gift.
Hi! Mind the Sue hormones!
Have a bag of sunflower seeds. Keep away from any PPC officials; they may find it offensive.
Fair winds! Have fun here!
Here's your official PPC Newbie Hat (wear it with pride!), a batch of freshly baked brownies, and an interactive map of Middle-Earth. Enjoy.
Keep it away from a Bag of Holding, or Fun stuff will happen!
Allow me to squee at you for liking Card Captor Sakura. That was my childhood. Do you have any ships for it?
Have a pet cat. You may name him whatever you wish.
Have a mini-Grammar Nazi. When actually Grammar Nazis attack you for trying to fight 'badfict' you can torment him to feel better. Try holding a mini-Jwe just out of reach - they hate that.
Nice to meet you. I am also a fan of Detective Conan, though I haven't seen it in quite a while.
Have a tiny mechanical Sunflower Official. Just don't let it boss you around too much.

Welcome! I offer you a sparkly rock. It can be used as emergency punctuation, makes a good projectile weapon OR blunt instrument, and looks lovely as a paperweight. Enjoy!
Ooh, Cardcaptor Sakura is love! I'm more of a Sayoran fan, but Sakura's fun too.
Quick question: are you a non-native English speaker? I ask because some of your phrasing is a bit awkward, and your name sounds Italian.
--anamia
*overcumbered with gifts* T-thank you all...
Yes, I am Italian. I hope to be able to write in a decent way, but I can't promise. Before ever thinking about permission, I will ask if my grammar improved.
"I'm more of a Sayoran fan" Oh, another mini. No, wait, mini-Syaoran, do not jump on... AAAAHH! *falls for too much weight*
