-and unintentionally rhyme at you. I'm terrofen. I found the board through TV Tropes, though as a big fan of Mervin, I've definitely heard of you before. I'm a big Buffy fan, fairly into Harry Potter and Discworld. There's more, but I'm hoping we'll get to know each other through conversation.
Sorry that this is late. I've been MIA for a bit.
Anyway, welcome! I offer you a sparkly rock.

I just got here myself, but welcome! Have a Poppins Carpetbag, those are always useful.
Have a venomous arthropod! Sorry for the late response...My hard drive committed suicide this week (assisted by me).
No problem! It is never too late for venomous arthopods!
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.
Thanks. Already got the links, but doubles are always good, just in case something happens to the first bag.
I was kind of surprised to see a lack of Chris-chan under Legendary Badfic. I mean, I lived through Rose Potter, but his stuff? I shudder to think about it.
*pokes*
And no more rhymes now, I mean it. {; p
Let's see... it doesn't look like you've been hit with a Bag o' Links yet, so I'll give you some. First, if you have not done so, you should read the PPC Board Constitution, which we expect everyone to abide by when interacting with the community. After that, you should also read the Wiki article about Permission if you want to write PPC stories. Other helpful writings can be found by looking through the PPC Intro Pages tab on aforementioned Wiki. Finally, you should absolutely take the time to read the Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek), since it is essentially our canon material and sets the tone for what we do and how we do it.
So much for required reading. I personally recommend the contents of the PPC Lost Tales archive, since it is the only place to see some of the things written contemporarily with the OS since GeoCities fell through the Veil. (I also maintain the site, so please let me know if you spot any errors or want to help out!) I also recommend the Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth and, since you're a Potter fan, the Hogwarts Fanfiction Academy. The OFUs are separate from the PPC, but there is a long history of friendship between them and us, and therefore many in-jokes traded back and forth.
I also notice that you are an artist. Are you on deviantART, by any chance? You'll find me at http://neshomeh.deviantart.com, if you're interested.
On a semi-related note, making multiple threads in a row is discouraged, since it pushes old threads off the bottom of the page, making them more difficult to access. If there is already a thread where your new post would fit (in this case, this one), we'd prefer you put it there. {= )
But that's enough for now. I'm neglecting my own writing challenge (see down-page), so I shall be getting back to that.
Welcome!

Okay, cool. I've read a bunch of the links in preparation, but it is good to have all of 'em right here.
Sorry about the double posting thing, will not happen again!
Have an instruction to go watch firefly if you have not done so already!
Have a softnosse laser. They take down Sues more efficiently than spells.
I'm more into magic then tech, but if it makes for the faster and cleaner elimination of Sues...
*takes laser and grins manically*
Welcome! Have a coxcomb. It's a sort of silly hat.
All the best hats are.
Greetings. Pi?
What kind of guy would refuse pi? Certainly not I!
Here you are, then! Enjoy your pi!
Wow, glowing and everything. That's pretty impressive.
Welcome, have a sunny Gurlukovich
Heheh, just kidding. Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't be needing it here.
Whew! I was recently in trouble with the fashion police, so this comes as quite a relief.
Feed it only Generic Meat.
Welcome to the PPC! Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory. (It can't be Sueified. Also, you can use it to block your sight of Bad Things.) Along with the shield, here's a bottle of bleeprin.
Dude, that'll come in handy so often. I'm sure there are tons of Bad Things out here on the internet, Sue-age or otherwise.
Welcome. Here is a life time supply of coffee, a large funnel, six oddly shaped mice, a yellow ribbon, a book of equations and a painful destiny. The use of them should speak for itself.
I'm a Buffy fan too, nice to meat you. I'm sure we will later have the opportunity to discuss it.
Sweet! Have you been following the comics? I've been a bit iffy on them...
At first, though I only get a few of them, not in any particular order, so they're very hard to follow. Besides, they're nowhere near as good as the show.
Yeah, I dropped them after bit. Figured, hey, they weren't that good, not gonna keeping shelling out my severely limited funds.
Fair winds! And don't sink her (him?).
Thanks! Also, it is her, for ships. The only transportation that gets a dude pronoun are the least phallic, like Hovercrafts and the Mamo-mobile.
And I think I gave you a male. So it's not 'her' like his non-sentient conspecifics.
Whoa, dude-ship. Cool. I guess I'll need a female crew, since lady-ships tend to have male crews. Or maybe he can work himself?
No need for a crew.
Great, I'm not so much with the whole "being good at sailing." I can do it, but not well.
It looks like you've got a schoolship.
Here have a 17 foot long, multi-colored wool knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
*knitting needles clicking in the background*
Can't stop now, gotta finish a spare!
I like Buffy, too, but I haven't gotten to see all of the episodes yet.
Enjoy your stay.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Uh, never mind.
I found the PPC through TVtropes, too.
It is a wonderful site. A wonderful, mind controlling, free time eating site.
There seems to be quite a few tropers here. I came about the site that way, too.
Okay, technically I found the wiki through TvTropes, which then lead me here, but still.
Anyway, have some bamboo. Don't let it bite you, though.
