Welcome to the PPC! Here's a sabre from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin. Beware of the legendary bad fanfics, beware!

Have a big stick. Try wiggling it. I stole it from a Magic!Sue, so it has to do something interesting.

Have a mutated strawberry, even if it grows legs and wanders off it should still taste the same. Or you could use it as a paperweight, but it might be a bit too ambulatory.

Lots of people come here through Tv Tropes. I know I did.

You should try a MST or two. They can be really fun. Hope to see you around.

*poke*

I don't know what you've already read, of course, but there are a few things you should definitely make time for. First, there is the Original PPC Series by Jay and Acacia--but you HAVE read that, I see. {= )

Second, we require that everyone read and abide by the Board Constitution, because it's nicer that way.

After that, there are several helpful documents on the Wiki designed to help acquaint newcomers with us and our habits and behaviors and general weirdness. Sedri's Guide to the PPC is particularly informative, especially when combined with the FAQ for Newbies and the Mission Writing Guide. If you do want to write PPC missions, you should also see the article about how to get Official Permission.

And that's probably quite enough to start with. {= ) Welcome! Have a bumper-sticker! *sticks one on you* ^__^

*eyes your username* We may have some conflict. Regardless, have an enormous guilt-free chocolate cake.

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 thingy stuck to a wotchamacallit with stuff.

Hello and welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!

Hi! I'm new here too. And, as it seems to be customary to give away a lot of random thhings, have a piece of fool's gold and some cheesebread.

Glad to see that the reports of this board welcoming rookies were not exaggerated! Looks like I'm going to need a bigger swag bag.

In response to BattleHamster I'd say that I'm most into Firefly, Doctor Who, Discworld, and Avatar (the one with the airbender, not the one with the blue elves). I'm bit like a magpie when it comes to other fandoms; if something shiny catches my eye I'll probably end up taking some interest in it.

Welcome to the PPC! TVTropes and the wiki have definitely been good publicity.

As a welcome gift, I offer to thee...a coxcomb! It's a sort of silly hat with Shakespearean lineage.

Here's a venomous arthropod, though you may...or may not...need gloves for handling it.

Welcome! Are there any particular fandoms you're into?

Fair winds!

Your story is similar to mine--I found a link (with one of Neshomeh's nice pictures) on the side of the wiki I was looking at, and, clicking it, found myself here. If you have any sanity, though, enjoy it while you can. It-hypothetically-won't last much longer. Also, someone will be along soon with several useful links. Here's a bladed yo-yo to play with while you wait (feel free to keep it afterward, as well).
