We need every able-bodied soldier out there, right NOW! There's a war goin' on, or were you too busy slacking to notice?! There ain't time for basic training. Here's a lasgun, a flak vest, and a standard-issue supply of awesome. Now get out there, grab some cover, and bag me a daemon or two!
HOO-RAH
Hi, everyone!
If my name is annoying to write, feel free to shorten it to MM (then again, you were probably going to do that anyway, huh?)
Like the post subjects says, I'm new. I heard about the PPC from TvTropes, and maybe someday I'll start writing my own, but I don't think I know quite enough to do so quite yet. I'm maybe a third of the way through the Original Series, though, so I'm getting there.
A little about me... I love reading video game fanfics, mostly, because being in college I don't get to do much reading outside of what I do for class. Yes, I do read slashfics a lot, but bad ones annoy me just as much as anyone else. Doesn't help that I'm gay and tons of bad slashfics are gay ones... ugh. Maybe if I do start writing I'll have my Agent be part of the Department of Bad Slash.
I'll probably be here for the next two weeks obsessively reading as many PPC storis as I can... because that's just what I do. I go into Panic Mode and read as much as I can. Can't wait to make some new frinds and entertain myself with some good reading!

Hahah, I, Mad Maudlin, am the only M&M here. But that's okay, musicmage4114. 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 slice of sausage.
Have some nicely sharpened pencils. Good for defense or writing. I love TVTropes. That's also how I found the PPC.
*waves exuberantly* Hello MM! You've gotten your fair share of welcomes already (and interesting arsenal items), but I like to jump on the newbie-glomping bandwagon. So...
*looks if Maudlin Hart has been here before her*
*FIRST glomp!*
Now off you trot till your month is up. Here's a spork patch! It's a defective spork patch, as one of the tines looks bent, but it'll do for now. Hope to see a ruthless and entertaining bad slasher out of you!
If you need more things to feed your panic mode, visit the PPC Wiki -- http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki.
Because I don't think anyone has given the traditional Newbie Poke yet.
Very nice to meet you!

I will probably shorten your name. However, it will likely not go beyond “musicmage”. I'm strange that way. Anyway, take a bladed yo-yo.
Hey, I'm new here too!
Hello.
I seem to be starting out kind of lurker-ish. (Maybe 'seem' is an understatement...)
Yes, there is lots of entertaining reading here!
Everyone (or at least me) seem(s) to start out as a semi-lurker. Just wait until you find a discussion you like. You'll be surprised at how much you wind up posting.
Have some cufflinx! (Not cufflinks, though. The difference is that cufflinx explode occasionally)
Have 199 gil and a Rod of Spell-Check (It grants spell-check +5 and defense +2).
I'll call you Musicmage, probably, come to that. I see we found the PPC the same way.
Video game fanfics? Found any good ones for Final Fantasy XIII, by any chance?
Anyway, have a Bag of Infinite Capacity and a plover, just so Tawaki saying first stops being redundant.
Hmmmmm... well, I suppose I've found some okay slashfics... good normal fanfics are a little harder. I'll let you know.
It's also pretty much the norm, actually. Regardless, I'll be grateful for anything you find.
Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves.
Don't worry, he won't bite.
I forgot to close my url tag, and now clicking anything (including reply and back to messages) sends you off to the sparkly rock. -sigh- Terribly sorry.

Fair winds!
Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multi-colored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
Oh, TVTropes...that site is just a time-eater, isn't it? But it's great!
I hope you enjoy your time here! And have fun reading! There's enough material to keep you busy for a good while. :)
Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
Please enjoy this Phoenix Down as a welcoming gift with my compliments.
Have a green scarf and a slightly bloodstained longsword. Use them wisely.
(And which video games? *is interested*)
Hmmmmm... generally any Final Fantasy ones, though usually the later installments (VII+) because I'm not as familiar with the early ones. There are precious few fanfics for MMOs (other than WOW, of course, which I don't play). Aion and EVE would be nice.
Baten Kaitos is good, as is Jak & Daxter (though these two are hard as well).
In general, I play mostly RPGs and platformers, so I read mostly RPGs and platformers, heh.
Welcome, MM! I give you...a coxcomb! It's a sort of silly hat with Shakespearean lineage.
Chocolate with pink icing.
Oh.. for a fellow TvTropes afficiando...

Prepare your brain for rottage.
Hello from a fellow newbie.
Have a random infodump.
