Umm, hey. The name's Unbridled, Unbi for short. After spending days without food or water in the wasteland that Munroe once compared to an eternal rickroll, Tvtropes, I stumbled across the PPC page.
I was intrigued, after being rehydrated by medical profssionals, by both the premise (Hunting down Sues and giving 'em what for? Sign me up!) and the characters you folks have put together. I found the world you folks have created to be rich, entertaining, and, above all, just zany enough to be fun.
As fandom goes, I'm pretty tight into Lord of the Rings, though I have slipped out of it a bit in recent years (I can't recite geneaologies, don't know Elvish, and The Silmarillion went riiight over my head), and continue my years-long love affair with the works of PTerry (Including his collab works, with a special place in my crusty little heart for Good Omens.) I'm also pretty familiar with Star Wars (not so much the EU), the MtG Multiverse, and the Dresden Files.
I have a deep seated hatred of Sues from a run-in a few years ago. (I tried to play the My Immortal drinking game. It did not end well.)
So. That's me. Looking forward to smearing badfics with you all.
And I MWOTed again, didn't I? Darn. -

Yeah, rather late here. I'd been away from the boards when this was first posted due to certain difficulties that have left me with an extensive degree of paranoia, although I've gotten back in the habit of trusting my anti-virus systems to not be lying to me.
Have a dose of paranoia: there is currently a virus that will close open instances of task manager and the command prompt that can apparently delete the registry entry for safe mode. -

Oblivion didn't really have any substance to it, compared to Morrowind. Fallout 3 actually makes you feel like you're struggling to survive.
On the harder difficulties, that is.

I have the same opinion of Oblivion. Morrowind actually felt like a fantasy world. Oblivion just felt like a clone of some Old England country side, with all its mythical creatures, to boot.

Hello! Welcome. LotR and PTerry, huh? It's... it's like the old days come back again. *gets teary-eyed* I too am a disciple of those great masters, as well as Neil Gaiman, whom I actually got to meet in person once (though when I say "meet" I actually mean "hear speak and then stand in line for hours to get books signed by").
I also dig sci-fi, but Farscape is my One True Fandom in that genre. I've seen Star Wars, of course, and some of each Star Trek series, and even some SG-1, but I could never forgive the latter for replacing Farscape when it went off the air, even when they hired on Farscape's two lead stars.
I keep telling myself I'm going to read the Dresden Files. Someday I will. At the moment I'm re-reading LotR as inspiration for NaNoWriMo.
Now, I have just one question: what is "to MWOT"?

A lot of RPF/RPS is like that. Not only U2. In fact, U2 fandom is rather mild. I've heard about RPS where more than two people had it on, or fics where people were raping each other. All very explicit. And I could go on and on...
I love U2, I love the (real) relationship between them, and I love the fact that they've been friends for more than 30 years. They're so cute together, especially Bono with his bandmates. And Edge is so totally Vulcan (and therefore awesome), too.
BTW, my Agents were originally tall ships (I'm very much into tall ships, even in the literal sense lol) and I'll see them (well, their real-world doppelgänger) at the Tall Ship Races in 2010, or so I hope (depends on my future job, and I don't even know which one I'll get, and when). -
