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. :)
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!
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
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.
