Or maybe seven... or eight... or, conceivably, as many as nineteen, depending on how you split them up.

1/ About two years ago the Board collaborated to make a PPC Soundtrack (or at least a listing of tracks). I started to put them together into CDs (hypothetical ones), but... didn't finish. The other day, I found them again.

The PPC Soundtrack, a collection of twelve albums, with wiki formatting kindly provided by Neshomeh after I threw up my hands in despair. If anyone actually puts these together into real-life CDs, I'll be awestruck.

2/ Two years ago (in March, actually) was the fifth anniversary of the PPC Posting Board being founded in its present form. To commemorate the occasion, we had a 24-hour all-Board RP, with (impressively) not a single out-of-character post being made during the day. I started to write it up, but... yep, didn't finish. Now I have.

The Fifth Anniversary Celebration, very kindly beta'd by Neshomeh. Oh, did I mention that we were all RPing as Flowers?

3/ The really big one...

Crashing Down is finished!

Chapter Twenty - Rise To Lead
Epilogue - All The Dreams

After more than three years' work, the epic tale of the Black Cats' invasion in 2006 is finally done. You can read the whole thing on the Tangled Webs site, which also hosts cast lists, backstories and timelines. Thanks go to Tawaki for prodding me into finishing it.

But that's not the end of the history of the PPC. I'm proud (?) to announce the launch of a new (well, it's been up for a while, but I don't think I announced it) site: The Twisted Skein, host to my non-canonical PPC stories. They're consistent with each other and with my previous work, but they're mostly set in the future; I'm not going to dictate what will happen, just what might. Specifically, the Skein is host to the following works:

4/ The End of the Beginning, a multi-part work which forms a sequel to Crashing Down and spans nearly seventy years of PPC history. It's almost complete -- the only thing missing is the first part. Since it's a collection of related stories rather than a series of chapters, that's not too tragic.

5/ Time Will Decide For Us, a new, somewhat-shorter-than-my-previous-work story (there will be four or five parts eventually) set around the year 2070 HST. Only the prologue is up, but it should give a taste of what's to come.

As a note to the above two items:

5.5/ The Twisted Skein also has a Cast Lists page. Only the Family Tree version is complete as yet (the other link leads to an empty placeholder), but it's still better than nothing if you're interested. However, it's no use whatsoever if you're reading...

6/ Myths of the PPC. In a thousand years (sometimes I think big) the PPC will be changed beyond recognition. However, they should still remember their origins, right? Well, maybe not entirely accurately. If you've ever thought that Jay, Acacia, the SO, or even Makes-Things should be deified, this is for you. Hey, even if you just want to know how the term "epic haiku" makes sense, this is still for you.

Five of the six plugs above are on the twin Tangled Webs/Twisted Skein sites. They're pretty epic. I recommend them. ;)
