Welcome, welcome, once and future friend!
I'm afraid I don't have anything to give you, but take my best regards as a substitute. Here's hoping you stick around-- I think you'll really enjoy yourself here.
*sigh*
Oh, I remember well the days when I would roam Neopets, seeking out bad RPs in the forums and killing off all the despies in creative and often covtroversial ways. My fellow "Annoyers" and I would have such fun--meeting in various headquarters, disguising ourselves...I even set up a school to train recruits.
It was magical...
I can't be sure if any of you know what I'm talking about, but the PPC reminds me so much of that experience; it fills me with nostalgia. Of course, the whole Annoyer era was short lived, as most of us became too violent and were kicked off.
Anyway, I stumbled across the PPC, read some Missions, laughed until my eyebrows fell off and I cried blood, and decided "I'm going to join this thing."
Unfortunately, the PPC Board constitution link is broken, but I read the summary on the PPC wiki.
Here's to hope! *raises glass of champagne to the forum*
Hi, I'm new to this, and new to the PPC. However, I have come across some badfic that is truly in need of sporking. I actually feel bad for it. Could someone tell me where to get permission if I want to record a mission?
Thanks!
Xanthia B.
Have some Anti-Lustin!
Late again, curse my tendency to stay away from the Board for a long time and abruptly return. Have a shapeshifting plushie.
Here, have some Groucho Marx glasses with big fake eyebrows.
No, not those three. These are my Agents.
I offer either a Capillary Towel (which would be good for wiping off those blood tears) or a Transdimensional Pocket Knife (apparently very useful, but no one uses them).
You sound like you'll fit right in. Nice to meet you!
I'm sure I can find a use for this Transdimensional Pocket Knife
*admires*
Welcome, welcome, once and future friend!

No kidding. Which reminds me, since you seem to enjoy this, they're making a Twilight MMO. At first that seems awful, but my friends and I read: Castlevania raids welcome. Please troll the sh*t out of us.
Dann beat me to the first one. Oh well. *poke*
I actually know exactly what you're talking about. I was there for that era. Heck, maybe we even crossed paths over there. *shurg* But ah, yes, the nostalgia! Sometimes I wish I could go back, but it's just not the same.
So I hang out here. *g*
Anyway, what fandoms were/are you into? Any big Neopets RPs I might've known about, or were you just there for the lulz?
~Neshomeh, who went by variations on the same name at Neopets.
*gives Orange Hotaru a PPC bumper sticker. And a poke.*
Welcome to the board! I'm sure the usual suspects will be along shortly with the big bag o' links.
I comes bearing links. *drags out Big Bag O' Links and digs through it* I know you has some of these already, since you mention the Wiki, but as I don't know which ones you've found...
First off is the link to the Wiki, a veritable fount of information for a newbie to read through. Especially helpful for you if you want to write missions would be the page on Permission (note the capital P).
I would advise against reading any Legendary Badfic, unless you are of strong mind and stomach. Even the summaries have been known to give those of weaker constitution nightmares.
For your reading pleasure, not knowing what you have already managed to find, I have several links for you. The Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek) is a good place to start, as the PPC did many aeons ago. What do you mean I'm exaggerating? The Department of Geographical Aberrations is another interesting place to visit, if you have the time and inclination. Also by hS is the Tangled Webs site, which contains backstory for the PPC as an organisation. If you would rather visit the Floaters, then July's site is the place you need to be. And last, but most definitely not least, Response Centre 45 is where Trojie and Pads' missions are archived.
Hope you enjoy your stay here. Please deposit your sanity into the container offered to you by another Boarder; you won't be needing it here.
On Tangled Webs, in the Saga, Origins and Lofty Skies don't seem to have any story. Origins has a picture and Lofty Skies is a poem.
Is that intentional? I'm kind of disappointed, I really wanted to read about how it all began.
Specifically, the time it takes to write these things. I've spent a couple of years on Crashing Down, which is now a chapter or so away from completion. Origins is next on the list, so Lofty Skies is a long way from being anything other than Nyx's poem.
If you're feeling particularly desparate, the original, short and out-of-date (but mostly accurate nevertheless) version of Origins can be found on my other website.

I was going to link it to Orange, but I couldn't find it for the life of me. Thanks for the save.
He's been busy with other stuff, and has yet to get to those things, far as I know, so he'll get to those when he can. I can't speak for him, since I'm not him (though that'd be pretty weird if I were; bizzaro!hS?), but that's how I seem to remember it. They don't have a story, because they're not started. I know there was a short story on Origins before, but I'm not sure where it is.
Tangled Webs is hS' baby, so he might be better able to answer your question when he comes online once again.
