First my introduction:
On the web, I mainly go by the name of Elorie. I have turned 18 in October, finished school and at the moment study physics at University. I live in Germany (so please, do point out whatever mistakes I might make with my English) and stumbled across the PPC by chance.
I am a fanatic when it comes to Lord of the Rings, and know the continua of Harry Potter, Narnia, Naruto, Avatar The Last Airbender, Bleach, One Piece and The Inheritance Cycle quite well.
How I came to know the PPC:
I had found the German translation of OFUM and read it in English. The references there led me to discover the PPC and I started reading.
I immediately liked the idea of killing these horrible, horrible characters. I have fanfiction for years before I found you guys, and I have seen quite a share of Mary-Sues and other abominations. I am truly glad someone deals with them. I has also made reading badfic more entertaining, because now I tend to imagine what an Assassin would do or how some typos would visualise. That can get really funny.
By now I have covered the Original Series, lots of DMS Lord of the Rings continuum, the Reorganisation, a bit from Pads and Trojie (will attempt Littlefoot x Cera next), some DMS Harry Potter stuff, SIELU, DOGA, DTE, some of the Floaters (Suicide and Ithalond mostly) and I have delved into the Wiki.
If there is anything to recommend, I am always open to suggestions!
May your tireless work continue until the Evil That Is A Sue is vanquished.

Hello and welcome! Have some chocolate and enjoy your stay here at the PPC Board!
And I particulary like your choice of Fandoms, being quite a fan of fantasy and supernatural series myself... -

Now, lessee.
We have a softnose laser, from the Artemis Fowl continnum, but, since I see Naruto on your list of continua, you also shall have a DeSue'd Sharingan eye to keep in a jar and creep people out with.
Enjoy! -
Thanks. by

A Softnose - for me? *happy* Thank you! How did you smuggle that by the LEP? Now I also remember what continuum I forgot to put there, Artemis Fowl!
And the Sharingan: Creepy... Reminds me of a certain individual's arm. Anyway, thank you so much. Whee, Sharingan! I am Sharingan no Elorie, master of a thousand fanfics (Well, not really, but it's fun!)! Yay! -

All you girls and guys are so nice! *happy*
After all these presents I felt compelled to make a list to credit everyone for their kindness!
In chronological order:
A hug (+ a bucket to deposit sanity) by Maudlin Hart (Thanks, and first one!)
A mute button and a bottle of Bleeprin (much oblidged for that!) by Bronwyn
A Mammoth Tank by WikiMaster (maybe for an Autorwraith to experiment on some time later?)
A titanium spork and a box of air by Aztec (Weapon, yay! Where's the next Sue?)
A granite pillow and a DMS flag by Sedri (Yay!)
A sparkly rock by anamia (Whee, sparkly!)
Lembas by The Trojanhorse (The Trojie *gasp* gave me something)
A venomous arthropod by doctorlit (Maybe I can keep that in the Tank?)
A gold-plated egg whisk by Sara (New favourite weapon!)
A tall ship by Khajidu (Wish I could take it to Valinor sometimes...)
Thank you all so much! Such a huge collection already! -

Nice to know. You know what, sometime I will have someone from DoSAT hardwire it with a Remote Activator, and I can travel to all sorts of islands by sea...

Ooh, a physics major! I live with one of those. Inertial reference frames are fun.
So 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 notmuchevil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy therapid and severe changes in accelerationride. -

As to attempting LittlefootxCera, it's a big read and I'm afraid the formatting isn't great, so I apologise for that! The missions after it are generally a lot easier to read. I hope you enjoy them all though :)

You also get a little DMS flag because you will, of course, be joining our department, won't you?
Also, here are... The Links!
Firstly, there’s the Original PPC Series, which is a must-read if you haven’t already. Also, please take a look at our Board Constitution (which, sadly, sometimes just vanishes, but the central rules can also be found here) and the PPC Wiki, which is a great source of Random Information, and the List of Everything PPC, which links to all sorts of helpful pages.
If you intend to write PPC missions of your own someday, please read the Permission article thoroughly, and make a point of chatting with us around here for the next few weeks - don't be shy; we don't bite.
A word of caution - every so often, some cheeky brat will try to goad you into reading a Legendary Badfic. Don't. There's a reason we take the time to warn people off. It's not a test of bravery or anything like that - we like our fellow agents mildly insane, not flamethrower-crazy.
If you have any more questions, check the FAQ For The Board, or the FAQ For Newbies, which hasn't been written yet but will be soon (did I mention we like randomness?), or just ask here. We like answering questions.
All that said, welcome. It's nice to meet you :) -

Don't be intimidated by the native speakers of English. They make typos just like everyone else. (Most of the worst fanfic actually comes from native speakers). -

The Mammoth Tank is a vehicle unit from Command and Conquer, the iconic RTS game.

Thank you for the bucket and the hug. I shall deposit my sanity when attempting to read Legendary Badfic. Question: Can it be used to deposit insanity as well? That might be useful for agents when they have to be sane for something...
