Nie to meetcha. I present you with a welcome-back gift of a bag of pebbles (useful for throwing at annoying things such as Sues) and a Random Shiny Object (useful for dstracting things with).
Hullo! I've been lurking for who knows how long, and I've decided that I should come out of hiding and participate in the fun.
I've been around since early 2004 and left around early 2007, so I don't think I'll know most of you. I remember hS, Neshomeh, and Techno-Dann. I dunno if any other oldbies are still around...
I suppose I'll go through the usual spiel... My fandoms are LotR, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Mercedes Lackey, Tamora Pierce (Circle of Magic), and Sherlock Holmes. I do have two agents. They've probably been frozen in time by someone who happened upon their RCs. :D They're Agent Valkyrie and Agent Kalmte. I think they were in Dept. of Floaters, but I'll have to check on that.
I haven't written any missions because I'm lazy like that, but I do enjoy reading them. I'm more of a MSTing type, anyways.
So, yeah, it's great to be back. I've missed the crazyness! :D
I'm afraid I am lacking home internet at the moment, or I would have greeted you sooner! Welcome back. {= D
~Neshomeh
It's nice to meet you. :)
*glomps*
Araeph, DTE head and former PPC infidel at your service!
The PPC has done quite well for itself in the intervening 2-3 years. Even I'm surprised at its tenacity.
Good to see you here!
Same here! It's nice to see that a lot of oldbies are still here. :D
It's nice to have other oldbies coming back!
Tamora Pierce still remains one of my favorite authors to this day; she just keeps getting better. Have you read the Trickster duology? I was really impressed by the way she bent in politics with action in those two.

We can never stay away for very long. XD
I haven't read that, yet. I have ridiculous amounts of Borders giftcards, so I may have to look into those.
I'm a new lurker, haven't got permission yet, but welcome back! Have a paperclip!
I'm Sara, pleased ta meetcha! And here, 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 back to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.
Have a softnose laser. Useful for any future Mary Sue missions your agents may take, should you continue to write them.
Oh, I'm Piph. I joined in October. Nice to meet you!
First poke, if anyone's not done that! (Do we give return-pokes?) I remember you, albeit a bit vaguely.
And welcome you with utter warmth, and not just because it's one more oldbie who hasn't written a mission yet!
Welcome back!
I remember you, also.
And thanks!
You probably don't know me, but still, I wish you a happy time at the Board.
Have a Tetsusaiga replica!
Thanks!
Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory! (It can't be Sueified and is useful when you need to block out the sight of a Sue. Don't ask how I got it to be that way.)
You like Circle of Magic? I do, too, even though I mainly stick to Tortall.
Yeah, CoM was the first series of hers I picked up. It was a bit strange reading about ten year olds at seventeen. I have the first Tortall book, but I find it a bit difficult to read about ten year old again. -_-
I just joined last October. Nice to meet you! Have a venomous arthropod.
Nice to meet you, too!
Nie to meetcha. I present you with a welcome-back gift of a bag of pebbles (useful for throwing at annoying things such as Sues) and a Random Shiny Object (useful for dstracting things with).
Aw, thanks. *blush*
I joined early last year.
Thanks! I remember you from the chat yesterday.
'Ello. You won't know me, as I'm a legitimate newbie, but I met you briefly in the chatroom this afternoon.
-offers sparkly rock- Welcome back!
--anamia
Thanks! I started out with the PPC chat, so I thought I'd return through the chat. *is strange that way* *pets rock*
You won't know me, since I joined in late 2007, but so what? It's always good to see someone return and regale us with tales of years past... or just hang around and laugh. ;)
My gift to you is a Capillary Towel (new invention, very useful on bloody assassination missions) and a dog.
Nice to mee you!
Nice to meet you, too! The newbie FAQ is awesome, by the way.
