Hello there =D by Catkin on 2010-02-04 19:47:00 UTC Reply

Hiya, it's another newbie!

I found the PPC through some aimless web surfing and subsequently laughed my way through the original series and a few other missions, then found the wiki. It seemed right up my street - after all, who wouldn't love the chance to use as much violence as they like in disposing of a Sue? Mwahaha... So, I thought I'd introduce myself, and maybe be able to write a mission or two of my own one day (that is, if I can whip any of the characters hiding in my brain into shape!)

I'm into rather a lot of fandoms, but the ones I'm most obsessed with at the moment are LotR, Doctor Who, Larklight by Philip Reeve (Not that there's much of a fandom for it or it's sequels), and the Bartimaeus Trilogy, which is pretty much made of awesome. Oh, and Redwall :D

I also like zombies rather a lot. And living history. Not usually together, but that would be interesting! You may have noticed I'm a little off my trolley, but that seems to be fine here!

Well, that was a long intro. Apologies =D

Greetings and salutations, Catkin. Here, as a housewarming/welcoming gift, have a mutant wolf. They're good with children and 'Sue hunting, and they like to chew on everything from your shoes to your 'Sues. But don't worry, they're very friendly...
Welcome to the board, never read a badfic, and have fun with the complete abandonment of your sanity, social life, and future career.

that should have read: "Never read a legendary badfic, even if someone tells you to."

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs but author wraiths and those pesky spambots, too. Use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

Hello! I believe I miiight do...I seem to remember being read it. Was it about a cat?

A bit too late for me to give anything out, huh?

But what I give out today is unique! Here's a blessing. Two blessings, in fact:

花開富貴，出入平安。

Wishing you a prosperous Lunar New Year,

Here at last! by Maudlin Hart on 2010-02-05 13:04:00 UTC Reply

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, fellow Larklight fan (are you by any chance a steam-punk?), here's a pair of aether-goggles. Wear them with pride.

*Throws what is left of her sanity into the bucket* by Catkin on 2010-02-05 16:33:00 UTC Reply

I feel much better already! Yay, another Larklight fan! *Tries on goggles* I'm not a steampunk, but I would like to be, haha.

You got the mindset... by Maudlin Hart on 2010-02-08 01:04:00 UTC Reply

...you got the goggles... you got the Larklight fandom... In my opinion, you're just a few steps away from "clockwork automaton", my dear.

Have some Silver and Rosemary! by WikiMaster on 2010-02-05 11:36:00 UTC Reply

Glad to meet a fellow Bartimaeus Trilogy fan.

*Sniffs rosemary* Good stuff! by Catkin on 2010-02-05 19:16:00 UTC Reply

One of my favourite series =D

Welcome! by BattleHamster on 2010-02-05 04:06:00 UTC Reply

It's always nice to have another fan of The Lord of the Rings around. Doctor Who as well.

Thanks! Good to meet you =D (nm) by Catkin on 2010-02-05 19:17:00 UTC Reply

Welcome, new friend! by doctorlit on 2010-02-05 00:22:00 UTC Reply

Have a venomous arthropod.

Since you bring up zombies, I will ask this: Which do you like better, the fantasy necromantic zombies, or the sci-fi/horror "Night of the Living Dead" style zombies?

Hello :D by Catkin on 2010-02-05 16:12:00 UTC Reply

Well, it's difficult to say, although I do have a slight bias towards the classic horror zombies, just because they're fun to watch shuffling around =D. When you say fantasy zombies, do you mean intelligent, human-like ones?

zombie distinctions by doctorlit on 2010-02-05 18:46:00 UTC Reply

I meant the "undead minions" kind of zombie made by an evil wizard, as opposed to the brain-eating kind that usually show up in modern Earth settings due to radiation, a virus, etc. I guess it's more a difference in the mood of the story than in the zombies themselves.

Aha by Catkin on 2010-02-05 19:13:00 UTC Reply

I see what you mean. They're always good too, but the brain-eating ones are kind of cute. In a, er...evil, undead way...hehe. But yeah, I think it does depend on the story. I wonder if there's some kind of guide for categorising zombies?

Hello! by Cinnia Aine on 2010-02-05 00:15:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin. (The shield can't be Suefied and it serves as a useful wall if you want to block out your view of the Sue at any time. Don't ask how I got the original shield to be this way. You're best off not knowing.)
A Redwall fan? Well met. It's one of my favorite book series.

Thank you! by Catkin on 2010-02-05 15:56:00 UTC Reply

Haha, I won't ask! Yay Redwall...I always get a sudden urge to read it when I feel hungry. I think it's all those descriptions of scrumptious feasts...

Welcome! by Gen on 2010-02-04 22:17:00 UTC Reply

Because you like zombies, I offer you the position as a Captain in the Army of the Undead Zombies. Accept and you can help conquer the world (starting with Iceland). :D

YAY! by Catkin on 2010-02-04 22:47:00 UTC Reply

I am truly honoured! I shall treat my zombie minions with the love they deserve. Helping to take over the world sounds fun! I did have a plan involving evil penguins once, but that went slightly pear-shaped... If anyone asks, Iceland never existed in the first place =D

Hiya! by Piph on 2010-02-04 21:47:00 UTC Reply

Welcome to the insanity! Shortly you may see somebody with a bucket labeled "Warg Fodder" that asks you deposit your sanity there. Do so. It is the best place for your sanity during your stay here.

As long as I have your attention, have a softnose laser and a DeSued Martin Sword Carbon Copy (DMSCC, not to be confused with the Department of Mary Sues,). Please don't blast/chop off your or someone else's head, as we are short on Agents at the moment.

Thank you, and watch out for the plotholes.

Good advice... by Catkin on 2010-02-04 22:40:00 UTC Reply

...in fact, I may just 'forget' to take it back if I ever leave.

Wow, laser and sword! I am much obliged to you :D *Attempts to lift Martin's sword and fails miserably* Ah, doesn't look like there's much chance of me causing any damage. Yet.

First poke! by Neshomeh on 2010-02-04 20:58:00 UTC Reply

*poke*

Welcome! Have a bumper sticker! It says "My Agent sporked your Mary-Sue." Enjoy. {= )

*Is poked* Ooh, thanks. I'll stick that on my bumper as soon as I have one!

Hello there. Lovely to meetcha, and welcome to the PPC. I approve muchly of your fandoms, though I only know LOTR and Redwall to any coherent degree.

Here, have a welcome gift. A bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. May they be very useful.

*Hypnotised by shiny* by Catkin on 2010-02-04 21:07:00 UTC Reply

Nice to meet you too =D Pebbles shall be useful indeed! Thank you!

Welcome! Delighted to have you! Please accept this gift of a sparkly rock.

Sorry to bring this up, but if I don't someone else will. In your post, you said, "(Not that there's much of a fandom for it or it's sequels)." That should be for it or its sequels, as it's a posessive, not a contraction. Again, sorry. That's just one of my pet peeves.

Still, nitpicking aside, welcome! Hope you have a long and happy stay with us.

p.s. Off your trolley is completely fine. In fact, it's basically nornal, if anything can be said to be normal. -grins-

Thank you! And, thanks for pointing that out *Kicks self* That's especially annoying, as apostrophes in the wrong places are normally something I hate too. Wasn't thinking (as usual), haha!
