Hello and Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Please have some chocolate and enjoy your stay!

Have a venomous arthropod! Sorry for the late welcome; my hard drive done died on me.

Have a softnose laser and a flaming bodysuit. Enjoy!

*poke*

And... hm. Gattsuru linked you to the PPC Lost Tales, and Dann gave you a bumper sticker, so... that's pretty much it. ^_^;

I will add that I don't recall anything about Middle-earth dying, or magic going away. I mean, yes, eventually all the elves do depart to Valinor, but they'll be the first to tell you that what they do isn't magic as we humans think of it. But the world is certainly not dying. It's under attack, and the whole point of the story is that everyone is fighting to save it. A lesson we all could do with in our world, really.

Anyway. If you'd like to try a different medium, I highly recommend the BBC radio adaptation by Brian Sibley. You can listen to the first episode here, in six parts. Some things are cut due to time limitations, but unlike the travesties perpetrated by Peter Jackson, nothing drastic is added or changed here.

So, altogether, welcome!

Have you gottten to the article about Anti-Lustin yet?

Have some bamboo. Be careful, though, it bites.

I would also like to recommend reading stuff by Trojanhorse and her various partners (especially Pads)over at rc45, which I believe that someone has already linked. If I'm wrong, I'll try and provide a link later, once I figure out what this board uses in place of BBCode.

Fair winds!

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

Whew! my agents knitting needles are smoking with all these scarves for new folks!

I'm pretty new, too. Do you have any tv shows you read for? Not that I'm not able to read novels, just that for some reason almost all of my fanfic reading focuses on the tv I watch. Perhaps it is that the episodic nature inherent to tv series lends itself to my favorite fanfic style.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a dagger set from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin! (Yay! You like the Tamora Pierce books! I also like Pratchett, too, but I'm also not finished with reading them all, like you. Enjoy the loss of your sanity here!)

You've found the right place! The wiki is a useful compendium of information, but the real home of the PPC is here. Gattsuru already posted the big bag o' links, so I won't bother you with even more of the same.

Welcome to the board!

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 some tea. Tea of Doom.

The PPC wiki's a great place to start, and it'll eventually get you everywhere. Neshomeh's page has a lot on both the in-universe guide side, links, and missions, and thus is highly recommended. There's also The Big List of Everything PPC if you've got a lot of time to devote. I'd recommend the Board FAQ. If you plan to write PPC mission some day, take a look at the Permission article and the Manual -- it's a good guide on what we do, and the humor we try to do it with. Eventually, the Mission Writing Guide is a big help as well.

You've mentioned the wiki, so I'll assume you've already see the article on Legendary Badfic. Either way: before forewarned that they really are that bad and you don't (and if you want to keep whatever good taste you had, maybe shouldn't) feel like it's a test. Reading normal badfic is enough of a masochistic thing; we'd prefer you at stabbing insanity rather than brain-breakingly flamethrower crazy.

For things I enjoyed reading : Agent Trojanhorse and Paddlebrains have their missions posted at RC45, and are the expert Bad Slashers, so be forewarned. Laburnum has most of her completed mission logs and sporks here, although you'll need to dig through her LiveJournal to find everything. Some Mary Sues, mostly Bad Slash with Sue toppings. Sedri is quite worth reading. JulyFlame is worth reading, especially for the horror that is a 1984!Sue. The Department of Technical Errors haven't updated in a long time, but they have some incredible work with viewpoint writing in there. Indemaat has a boatload of missions done.

Anyway, that's a couple of the things I found interesting when I started.

Ah, and before I forget... *rummages through stuff*... Here's a thermos of dandelion fizz.

It is sad, but beautiful. For as one song ends, another begins, more beautiful for Melkor's discord.
Welcome. Have a complete history of the country of Switzerland, and the Rods of the five Wizards.
As to your problems, as a fellow newbie, allow me to give you some advice: make it up as you go along. As long as everyone enjoys themselves, nobody will question it.

I also found the PPC through TVtropes.
