Welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *provides bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't be needing it here. Also, have some hugs and The Sword Of Beheading People Just Like In That Movie. Use them wellish.

I believe that this is where I say hello to everyone...I think...I was a mite confused about the process of signing up.
But even if I did it wrong, I shall charge forward.
Hello! I'm Maya. My sister shamelessly plugged this site until I joined, lamenting the wonderful doings of the members. And I decided that it sounded enticing... I do enjoy seeing astray fanfics (and/or Mary sues) burned at the stake. or just corrected.
Welcome to the PPC! Here's a special shield from the Raven Armory.

Have a winged kitten, and watch out for giant glass jars.
Have a cup of tea and a flatcap. Handy for, er, disgusing yourself as a grumpy old Yorkshireman. Guaranteed to confuse Sues.
*poke*
Welcome to the Board. The only required reading is the Original Series and the Board Constitution. Everything else is just details.
Entertaining and often useful details, yes, but still just details.
Enjoy. {= )

Have a shapeshifting plushie. It can turn into anything, depending on what you want. It can become a flying monkey, and I've seen one turn into a baozi fairy before. And Cthulhu sometimes appears, for those into Nightmare Fuel or cute stuffed eldritch abominations.
BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a response center?
Have some tea leaves and a chainsaw.
The tea leaves are for combat and the chainsaw is for the kitchen.
No, I'm not getting mixed up.
(No, actually, knowing my little sister, you just got that spot on...)
Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. Lovely to meet you.
The second is delicious no matter what flavours you like, and the former will clean up most liquid messes, though we haven't tested it on every substance yet. I don't recommend trying.
That said, welcome! KILL THE SUES. *smiles and hands you a little DMS flag*
Yay for siblings! Here, have an egg whisk. It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but spambots and those pesky author wraiths, too. Use it for good and not much evil.
Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.
I get an egg whisk too? O.O I get a whole spiffy gift basket just for walking in the "door". And since I am VERY much accustomed to insainity, I think I shall enjoy this ride. Thank you =]
*cackles and waits for flying horde of monkeys gift-givers*
You know, ever since I was a little girl, I have held a special place in my heart for flying monkeys....-waits and watches the sky with anticipation-
*glompattacks the Maya*
Hi dear. Muahahahahaha... what havoc we shall wreak together, eh? Don't forget to check out the other things that others have written... And I'll let someone more senior than I am pull out the Bag O' Links and give you all the necessary information.
For now, I hereby hand you the Poking Stick of Freedom...
*huggles her Maya some more*
-huggleglomps Azrael back- I went to FanFiction to survey the damage....it's not pretty. I wanted to cry reading some of the blood and chocolate ones....don't get me started on the Anne rice books.
My advice? Go look at the Nix ones... *sobs* And some of the Pierce ones are... Absolutely terrible. Just... Just... *cries*
I don't know if I could handle it. what i saw was so ugly....I went back and dared a glance at the Harry potter realm....it will take me years to forget that mess.
*hands over some of her precious supply of Bleeprin to the cause of helping to heal her sis's brain* Here. Take two. It's brain bleach plus aspirin. You need it. *huggles* Or would you prefer Bleepka? It's Brain Bleach plus vodka! *brandishes her own egg whisk* We shall slay many author wraiths of Bad Slash this way, yes we shall, Precious!
Uugh....Can I have both? I may need it. You work on bad slash? I'm on the wiki site looking up all the terms and categories now. The Lubes were....hilarious. But the Yiff made me a tad queasy...Littlefoot and Cera? really?
Unfortunately for my opinion of the intelligence of the human race.
The missions can be found at http://agenttrojie.livejournal.com/65922.html#cutid10, which is Trojie and Pads's RC. Good reading if you can handle references to extreme squick.
Department of Floaters, babe. Anything, any time, any where. And yeah. The LxC is... Just... Yeah. No words. No words AT ALL.
*huggles*
Muahahahahha...
Spike and Ducky would be like. O.o
O.o
*downs half a keg of Bleepka to erase that image*
*Casts a Salt Circle to fend it off*
*shudders*
Make it go awaaaaay....
*hides*
Dear Eru, I need a Bleeprin scrubbing brush to erase that image from my brain.
And you have just cursed that fic into existence. As if trojie and Pads didn't have enough to do with the threat of more LxC, you just gave those two poor, brave women (well, technically both women) the threat of SxD. Ew ew ew.
Ew.
*goes to drown self in the Fountain of Bleepka*
Don't worry. If I'm in the DBS by the time it comes along, I'll volunteer to send my agents in. I'm protective of LBT.
Fortunately, though, LittlefootxCera hasn't updated in MONTHS.
*breathes happy, although wary, sigh of relief*
and a new chapter came along, would you be okay to have help?
... but theoretically I see no problem - we do a lot of cowrites with third authors and enjoy it :D
hit a writer's block for my writing sample, though Pads said my agents are okay.
Writer's block always loosens after a while. My advice would be to try writing something else instead :) (which would be why I have about twenty unfinished docs in my googledocs that I cycle through...)
I have writer's block for basically everything now... except one thing which I may need your help with. Are you familiar with something called Vrolik's syndrome/brittle bone disease/glass-bone syndrome (take your pick of the names)?
And could bring myself up to speed with little trouble. Why?
The main thing being, is it hereditary after it appears? Will any children (if they can even have children) have it?
Which if I remember my genetics correctly suggests to me that heterozygotes (people with one copy of the gene) will display the syndrome.
Which means that if one parent is a heterozygote and one parent is a non-sufferer, their children have a fifty fifty chance of having it. If one parent is a homozygote (has two copies of the gene) then all their children will have it.
Wiki seems to have a very comprehensive article on the subject here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenesis_imperfecta which should probably all be taken with a pinch of salt, but if you want any biological terms explicated and wiki doesn't have a nice link to a page for them, feel free to PM me on LJ. You have my LJ, right?
agenttrojie.livejournal.com?
And yeah, I just found that article. Here's the character I'm writing about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ListofcharactersinMassEffect#Jeff.22Joker.22_Moreau
He's only got Vrolik's syndrome in his legs (and I have no idea if he's hetero or homozygote). In the ME universe, it's possible to treat, but not cure Vrolik's.
Well in that case you've got the luxury of deciding whether it would be better for the plot of your story for him to be a hetero- or homozygote :D
a completely wacko romance story between him and his commanding officer, I'm thinking hetero so that there's a "will any children have it or not" aspect. 'cause angst, why not?
So I say go the angst!
All of my stories barring my Night of the Living Bread parody series have an angst aspect in them at some point. It's kinda annoying sometimes.
It just creeps in, doesn't it.
Though if it 'creeps' to soap opera levels, I smack it back down with a vengeance. In fact, given that my Pokémon series is growing rapidly darker, I've decided that, to counteract it, every fifty or so chapters, I'll have a completely off the wall chapter. The first one will have far, far, far too many egg jokes because of this guy: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Exeggcute
I'm not sure which is the worst. The egg puns I'm writing for Chapter Fifty, the Night of the Living Bread parody, that tentacle sex you said I should attempt to write, or my Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Teletubbies crossover.
... Spock has to do things, uh, methodically ...
Look, it's not my fault, I'm a Kirk/Bones girl all the way, but Pads wanted a Kirk/Spock story, and I took it so far and then she took over and it's turned into another one of our cowrites of Doom ...
that Kirk should have been castrated for galactic security?
Hello, hello! Welcome!
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki will tell you all there is to know about the PPC, and the original series can be found here: http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/story.html
I gift you with a weighted companion cube and a key lime pie.
I get a poking stick, a pie....(god I love pie) and a weighted cube. This is awesome....I'm going to like it here. And Thank you.
