Hi. I have no idea if this is the right place for this, and if it's not, I shall simply put on my best Sue eyes (they're not very good at all, unfortunately) and say that it's not my fault because I'm new. And then you shall smite me and I shall go away to lick my wounds in shame.'
So I hope I'm doing this correctly.
Anywho, as you may have noticed I'm new around here. I was pointed to PPC by a friend of mine after reading and then sending her an epic badfic out of morbid curiosity. So I wandered about a bit, read the original series, poked at the wiki, read some of the other bits of history, and decided that I wanted to do this too.
So here I am.
Delighted to meet you all, excited to be here, and pleased to have found a place where I seem to belong.

Welcome to the madness, have a strangely sparkly sultana that was found lurking under a keyboard. Maybe it has some Sue repelling properties?

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a dagger set from the Raven Armory and a bottle of Bleeprin! (I hope that badfic didn't hurt too much to read. I can't bring myself to finish any of them at all. I just get to about the first or second chapter and my brain won't let me read any further.) -

Tortall's Raven Armory? Ooh! -looks at pretty daggers-
-sigh- Badfics hurt. I can never finish them, since they tend to make me whimper like a small child and/or want to commit homicide. Hence the reason I came here. -grins-
Thanks for the welcome!

Have a nice arsenal of Anti-Lustin weapons, just in case Luxury and/or Maeluwien comes nearby.

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs but author wraiths and those pesky spambots that pop up every now and again. Use it for good and not
muchevil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride. -

And don't grovel. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's grovelling--it's just like those miserable psalms: they're sooo depressing.
What're you doing now?!

Nice to see another newbie on here, and for the new boarder my welcoming gift is a nice thick copy of 'Common Sense and where to find it. (Hint: Not a sue-fic)' By Mr. Ed. In hard-cover of course to quell any fangirl-ish tendencies.
Oh and a nice big bottle of Bleeprin. Trust me, you'll need it.
Sincerely,
~Bronwyn -

p.s. No, 'Sue eyes aren't a habit of mine, nor are they likely to become so. As I say, I'm bad at them and trying always makes me crack up, which kills the effect... 'Sides, they'll get me killed, and being killed right after joining would be bad. -

I gift you with oddly mutated strawberries; they may grow legs and wander off, but that's okay, they should still be edible. Or you can keep them as pets.

I see you don't need The Links (presuming you've read the Permission article?), so I'll get right on to giving you a Capillary Towel, a Transdimensional Pocket Knife, and a paperweight. Use them well.
Always nice to meet someone new :) -

Yep, read that one, as well as the Board Constitution and various other official looking things. (What can I say? I enjoy reading official looking things.)
Thank you for the shiny gifts! -grins-

Hi, welcome to the boards. Don't worry, everyone here is crazy (*what do you mean, I'm exaggerating?!*) A note--don't use Sueperpowers, and abandon your sanity. To that end (and because no one's offered it yet), here's a bucket for your sanity. Don't worry, the Wargs won't eat *all* of it.
Honu_Wahine
PS-Don't ever, ever, *on your life*, read C*l*br**n. I did, and I'm still having nightmares.... -

I've started the MST version of C*l*br**n. Not at all sure I want to go any farther. The first little bits are scaring enough...

That's... incredibly brave of you. Though the PPC already has a member who's MSTed C*l*br**n, and it's left him in a state of dubious, if happy, sanity.
Check out Huinesoron on the PPC Wiki. He's one of our oldest oldbies and has written a staggering amount for the PPC and its history. Here: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Huinesoron
And here - against my better judgement, which I've given a good kicking - is the MST of C*l*br**n he did.

Brave I may be, but insane I am not (yet). When I said that I'd started the MST, I meant that I started reading his version. I don't think I'll finish. The fic itself is too horrid even with his entertainingly brilliant interjections.

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. Good luck. It's easier if you sort of skim the actual fic and just read the riffs.

Oh! Hello! Wonderful! A newbie arrives while I'm on the school computers! Lucky you; the last umpteen newbies have missed a greeting from me. *smiles smarmily* Welcome, welcome!
I hereby gift you with an unsolvable Rubix cube, a plastic model of the Millennium Falcon, and a sock full of rocks. I'm sure you'll find use for them somehow.
Word of advice... don't make a habit of the Sue eyes. The more homicidal of us don't take kindly to them... -
