Hey, im new. what now by Bean1117 on 2010-03-10 19:39:00 UTC Reply

Whats up.
I have no clue what to say here. I love to read and fanfic that twists everything into contorted knots pisses me off. i would love to help, but need to go through you people first, so I hear. I write some of my own stuff/fanfic, and people say it is decent. hope ya'll are well.

Hello and welcome to the Board! Have some chocolate and enjoy your stay!
Fandoms, thanks, and a boatload of questions by Bean1117 on 2010-03-11 18:12:00 UTC Reply

First, I believe a heap of thanks are in order. I am enthralled with all of these wonderful gifts, however, I have no idea of either their purpose or their meaning.

Moving on, I am a fan of the following:
Battlestar Galactica (NEW, the origional is great for the day, however it cannot compare with CGI)
Star Wars (ANYTHING)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Current project)
Ender's Game
Harry Potter

I have read the constutition, and I will follow all Da Rules.

Whats more, I was able to find you with many thanks to the wiki. It was featured on the sidebar of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Fanfiction site; which is where my current project resides if you so choose to read it.
My screen name is the same.

Again, many thanks. Cheers to improvement, whatever the cost.

A lot of us have a gift that we give to everyone. Some will be useful for future agents, some (like mine) are just random. (It's also a literary reference, but that's beside the point.)

I read the last book of the Olympians series. I probably should have started with book 1, but the last was the book that was lying around. It wasn't bad. Percy seems relatively likeable, which is unusual. -grins-

The story I'm working on is not mainstream. It's more a side-story. Completely different characters, same story line, different view. Nothing that would play havoc on the Canon. Like I said, that just pisses me off.

Ooh, interesting by anamia on 2010-03-11 21:17:00 UTC Reply

Those are always fun to work on. I'll admit, I tend to twist canon characters into doing what I want them to do (though I do my very best to do it gradually, so that it's believable), but side-characters are also great fun. I work mainly within the Harry Potter continuum, meaning there are lots and lots of fun characters to torture... er, I mean write about.

As soon as I get home from school, I'll go looking for your story.

Sparkly rock? by Bean1117 on 2010-03-11 21:09:00 UTC Reply

Sparkly rock, or fire opal. they look the same, but are very different.

Never mind. by Bean1117 on 2010-03-11 21:10:00 UTC Reply

Sorry, should have looked at photo before hand. I didn't see the link.

Here have a 17 foot long, multi-colored wool knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

We have a n00bz0r! Yay, a n00bz0r! Welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't be needing it here. Also, here's a cup of tea.
What fandoms?

Well, first of all... *poke* by Neshomeh on 2010-03-11 01:35:00 UTC Reply

You have been poked.

Second, if you have not done so yet, please read our Board Constitution. We do expect everyone to abide by Da Rules, one of which calls for good spelling, punctuation, and grammar. *pointedly eyes your post title*

I hope you won't think of us as just something to "go through." We're basically a good lot, and the PPC has a history of being a community of friends. Or at least of friendly people with similar interests who like to have conversations about stuff together. Either way. {= )

I second Ansela's big Bag o' Links. There is fun and useful stuff in there. For myself, I also recommend a trip to the PPC Lost Tales archive for a further taste of what PPC writing is all about. Since GeoCities died, that's the only place to find some of the stories written contemporarily with the Original Series, and they're quite good. I maintain the site, so please let me know if you spot any typos, formatting errors, etc.

That should do for now. Welcome!

Hey! I don't really know much about what next, I've only been here a few days, but... have an anime character's blouse. (Even if you don't wear blouses, it has hammerspace somewhere in it; a little investigation should do the trick.)

Welcome! Have an unusually proportioned frying pan and a bag full of miscellaneous punctuation. (You'd be surprised how often you'll need extra punctuation. Of course, some people over-use, but that's an entirely different bag.)

I comes bearing links. *drags out Big Bag O' Links and digs through it*

First off is the link to the Wiki, a veritable fount of information for a newbie to read through. Especially helpful for you if you want to write missions would be the page on Permission (note the capital P).

I would advise against reading any Legendary Badfic, unless you are of strong mind and stomach. Even the summaries have been known to give those of weaker constitution nightmares.

For your reading pleasure, not knowing what you have already managed to find, I have several links for you. The Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek) is a good place to start, as the PPC did many aeons ago. ~~What do you mean I'm exaggerating?~~ The Department of Geographical Aberrations is another interesting place to visit, if you have the time and inclination. Also by hS is the Tangled Webs site, which contains backstory for the PPC as an organisation. If you would rather visit the Floaters, then July's site is the place you need to be. And last, but most definitely not least, Response Centre 45 is where Trojie and Pads' missions are archived.

Hope you enjoy your stay here. Please deposit your sanity into the container offered to you by another Boarder; you won't be needing it here.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's an archery set from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin. (If you don't know, bleeprin is a medication made of bleach and asprin in the form of a white pill that is used to get rid of the scarring memories of bad fanfiction.) Enjoy your stay in the insanity!

Lot of ~~fresh meat~~ new people lately.
Welcome to the Board, we hope you'll find it an educational and beneficial experience.
Doubtful people will throw links at you soon, so I'll just give you a handy-dandy fire-proof leash for your brain, just in case it tries to go for walkies without you.
That happens around here.
Mind if I ask what sort of fandoms you usually favor?
Welcome. Here's a tall ship. by Khajidu on 2010-03-10 20:05:00 UTC Reply

He is sentient. Yes, you got a male.
Fair winds!

Short ships by Miah on 2010-03-11 14:58:00 UTC Reply

It's a good thing they've all been male lately, or we'd be up to our ears in short ships!
