...but it's not how we write. And it's not what we at the PPC are about. I have nothing against serious stories, but if you want to write a spin-off that becomes part of the PPC universe, you can't take your story (or your characters) too seriously.

To quote Neshomeh from an earlier post:

"On that note, I'd like to talk about the spirit with which the PPC was intended. I've noticed a disturbing trend among newer members toward levels of power and aggression, completely unmitigated by an appreciable sense of humor, that I have no doubt would make Jay and Acacia regret ever leaving the PPC for others to write about.

Get this into your heads: The PPC is NOT about who can be the coolest, most badass agent. It is NOT about who has the biggest, most explosive toys. It is NOT about who can handle the most disgusting smutfic. It is NOT about doing something that no one has done before. It is NOT, and I stress this in particular, about making sense.

The PPC, in a nutshell, is NOT a pissing contest.

The PPC is about humor, good writing, humor, good writing, and, yes, humor. If your goal is anything but both humor and good writing, then please go away. I'm serious about this. I like seeing new people come in, I really do, but I'm sick of people thinking they need to improve the PPC, be it with novelty, expansion, logic, or anything else."

So, welcome to the Board...and I would like to see what you have written so far before giving Permission.
