Paging Serenity Piper/Dawn'n'Dusk RE: Dusk Daybreak by

Some of us have been discussing the article for Dusk Daybreak on the wiki, hoping to get some questions answered. The article was created by a Serenity Piper, whose only other major contribution to the wiki is this image of Nyx Nightingale. The three of us in the discussion aren't sure who Serenity Piper is, or if she's responsible for Dusk Daybreak and her missions, or if she's just adding to the wiki. The missions are from the last couple of months, and I don't remember anybody posting about them on the Board. So, if anybody knows what's going on here, I at least would like to know.
Thanks!

I know Serenity. She hasn't written anything, as far as I know. However, I know that she DOES read missions a lot.
Does that help?

This is the first any of us have heard of her. At least those of us from the discussion on the wiki; we don't even know if she's active on the Board.

If nobody has any idea who the writer is, chances are she/he didn't bother getting Permission, which is sort of not okay. The point of Permission is to have a bit of quality control on what gets posted in the name of the PPC, and my personal feeling is that Dusk Daybreak's missions really needed someone to have raised an eyebrow and asked some questions about the Sueishness of the agents.
I'd like for more of the Board to at least have a look at the article on the wiki and the attached discussion, if not read over the missions themselves, so there can be some more discussion about the matter. For one thing, I'm not sure how to proceed with trying to bring the writer into a dialogue with us, because so far our comments on the wiki have gone unnoticed or ignored--not a good sign. I hesitate to comment on the missions themselves until I have a better idea of what you all think, so please speak your piece.

I still suggest commenting on Serenity's talk page. by

You're notified when you get a message on your talk page, so I figure maybe that'll get their attention. Since they'll have "You have new messages" stuck on their screen until they check it out.

I ran across these on the Pit the other day, and left some vaguely encouraging comments (probably too encouraging, in retrospect) suggesting she check out the Board. I think I also mentioned the wiki. The idea was to gently lead into 'hey, you need Permission to do this, and I'm pretty sure you don't have it' without seeming to be nasty about it (especially if it turned out that she did have it after all), and also to introduce her to a place where she could get some advice/concrit on her writing (which, as you have said, did need it rather badly).
At my first reading, it looked like she'd encountered The Original Series, but hadn't pursued things far enough to find out about the Board, wiki, Permission, etc., so I thought that it might be a good idea to introduce her to those things, since she was obviously keen. Primarily, though, I was just trying to find out if she was on the Board or not, so I could introduce her to the concept of Permission if necessary. I was expecting either to get a reply from the writer, or for her to introduce herself to the Board, rather than just posting stuff straight to the wiki.
In hindsight, though, I phrased things rather badly, which may have given her the wrong idea about the whole thing, and I probably should have linked her to the Permission page on the wiki as well. Apologies if I stuffed up. Anyway, if you want to start a dialogue, then she might respond to reviews on the story.
Btw, I also found these on the Pit: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3552696/1/PPCAnAgentsWorkIsNeverDone
Do they belong to anyone here? -

This is the first I've heard of "Dawn" and "Dusk Daybreak", names that set off several alarm bells in my brain.
Dear me, this "Mirwen Sunrider" seems to be copying a few elements from TOS, like Jay's incessant habit of taking pictures of Rivendell. She also doesn't seem to know that it takes so much more than the average agent's Death Glare to intimidate the SO, not to mention the fact that kingsnakes are completely harmless and haven't the venom in them to make a fruit fly dizzy. *tsk tsk tsk* -
I'll drop a line to both of them. by

PM on ff.net should do the trick, I hope. Then we'll see what happens.
