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 is... pocky.
Hello!
It's a pleasure to meet you all. I just discovered your little organization, and realized, in some divine epiphany or something, that it would be a terrible tragedy if I didn't try to become apart of something so awesome.
To introduce myself:
I'm username Unconquered, though given my email address my real name is not exactly hidden. I'm 'slightly' insane, massively egotistical yet at the same time deeply insecure, have a tendency to take things extremely seriously, sometimes about inconsequential details nobody else cares about.
I hate most things by default. If I like them, I take the slightest criticism of them personally. Particularly Tolkien. Anyone who goes against Tolkien better make peace with god (I sometimes get the two mixed up, but they are separate individuals). Also up there is Robert E Howard, Robert Jordan and a few other authors.
I'm never as eloquent as I'd like, though I'm not bad. And I live for a discussion.
I can never leave things once their done, in particular my own attempts at writing, and keep taking them out to tinker with them, even after they're mostly done. And most of them never make it past draft stage anyway.
My hatred of Sues comes from an unfortunate event in my childhood, that's ramifications I have never really psychologically recovered from.
I hate canon Sues nearly as much as inserts. But if I start on them, you'll never hear the end of me.
Aside from that I'm a well-rounded, well-balanced individual.
In short, I should fit right in.
I must say, I go against Tolkien on some things, with him on others. However, that's true of virtually every human being.
Anyway, hello and welcome. Enjoy your stay.
Fellow Tolkien-nerds are always welcome here - after all, LoTR was the original reason for the season PPC, even if we're a multiverse organisation these days.
I'm just back from a long period of lurking, myself, and getting back into the newbie-welcoming swing. Have a platter of chocolate-covered profiteroles, and a pet mongoose. Head down to the PPC Mongoose Shelter in RC 2816 and ask for Kepler. You can't miss him, he's the sentient tub of peanut butter. He'll help you pick out a mongoose. They'll eat practially anything, and attack Sues on sight. Name it what you will.
Elcalion, welcoming
I've always had a soft spot for Denathor, and by extension his family. Yes, he was an old hardass, but he got results, and he did well without destiny on his side.
Actually, it's a sore spot between me and the movie in regards to him and Faramir.
Anyway, thanks for making me welcome.
Hey, I'm not the new guy anymore! This calls for a celebration!
Have some bamboo, though be careful with it. It bites, y'see.
Here is a radioactive beehive! They make some pretty nice honey, actually... :)

Welcome to the insanity; nothing will ever be the same again.
*thwaps self and quits mangling quotes*
Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object as a welcome gift. Hail to a fellow worshipper of Tolkien. :D
(Hos d'you feel about the Great God *holy horns* Terry Pratchett?)
*pokes*
Ahh, I see a Tolkien nut before me. This bodes well. Just remember: no matter how stupid the fanwriters act, the PPC does not kill them. Neither do we encourage flaming, though what you do on your own time is up to you. Just don't do it in our name.
As you get acquainted with us, I recommend a trip to the PPC Lost Tales archive, which is the only place to find some of the stories written contemporarily with the Original Series since GeoCities sought the Halls of Mandos. The OS, of course, is required reading. The rest is just fun. {= )
Welcome!

Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves! :D
Don't feed it any Sues, Other OC's, or normal humans. You can, however, use it to tear Sues apart.
Nothing will ever make sense again.
Yes, I think you'll fit right in with the rest of us nutters; oh, and don't worry--none of us like Mary-Sues either.
Have a random pointy object.
And since no one has yet offered...*drags out an enormous bag*
Linkage! The Wiki--this is a general reference to everything PPC. This goes to all of Trojie and Pads' missions. They work in badslash, and are....slightly touched, shall we say. This is The Original Series. It is not to be confused with Star Trek. These are the missions of the original agents, Jay and Acacia.
Oh, and if you have the time after everything else, check out the DOGA files. They're the guys who get flamethrowers and can blow stuff up without getting in trouble...Well, not as much as other agents.
Anyways, welcome to the PPC, and remember--Have fun. Everyone here is crazy What do you mean I'm exaggerating?

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a sabre from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin!
Help yourself to a venomous arthropod.
Have a softnose laser to shoot down all those defilers of Tolkien with. Enjoy!
You sound a bit like me, except slightly less crazy.
Anyways... Nice to meet ya.
Fair winds!
Have a 17 foot long multi-colored wool knit scarf (curly wig not included), and some jelly babies.
Thank you all. I'm sure they'll all come in use.
Of course, what i really desire is vengeance, but these assorted knick-knacks should serve me well and allow me to endure for the moment.
Now I have questions.
And questions require answers.
First up, how does this board take roleplaying, and is anyone interested?
Second up, has anyone read that book, the left hand of god? I just finished it, and found it to be amazing.
As a matter of fact, there's a planned continuation of one for sometime this evening, in the new chatroom. Well, actually the channel we'll be using is #PPCRP, but unless you know more about IRC than I do, you'll want to use the above link to join the regular chatroom and then type /join #PPCRP to get into the RP room. Either way. Anyone is welcome to join, or just hang around and watch as long as you're polite about it. {= ) I understand that this particular RP is unusually structured and plotted, though. Random silliness is more the usual for the chat.
We have also been known to RP on the message board, as well. Usually this happens for parties, holiday celebrations, snowball fights, and things like that. Planned RPs now happen more on the backup message board so as not to clutter this one.
Did you have something in mind?

P.S. Do mind the capitalization--that is, putting it where it needs to be. Slips here and there will be excused, because none of us is perfect, but since we're here in support of good writing, the effort matters. {= )
