Hi, my name's Diane Summers and I have a couple of agents that I would like to add to the department of Sues. If I could post them tomorrow, that would be great because I'm pulling a 24-hour right now and I want to be fully awake when I post their profiles.

BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a Response Center?

On second thought, I'd rather put my Agents in a TARDIS, if that's possible. If not, they'll have to make do with a Response Center.

Considering the fact that both of my agents are human, I'll have to go with a Response Center.

If it's all right with you, I'd rather not post anything about my agents until I've officially become a member of the PPC. That way I can worry about my agents without school work interfering.

I think you'll have to post your agents' bios on the Net in order to get permission. As well as a writing sample (anything will go, even your fanfic, you don't have to feature your agents) and a badfic to be sporked.

Nice to meet you! I... wait, hang on.
[Shuffles through boxes] I know I've got it around here somewhere... aha!
[Dons a Crotchety Old Man hat; Pulls out a walking stick and starts waving it about]
Now then you youngster, you listen up well! When I were a lad we didn't have these Pii Pii See Boards, no siree! We had to write our missions in stone tablets! Uphill both ways, unless that was something else.
... aaaaanyway.
If I know my fellow Boarders, you've already been bombarded with links, rules, guidelines, recommendations and presents. Well, I've been here longer than most of them (hence the walking stick), so I can get away with saying chuck 'em all out! Except the presents, obviously.
While the PPC has certainly gotten very large (some would say cumbersome) over the years, it all started with two people. They're the ones you need to read about. So if you haven't already, read Jay and Acacia's missions.
Also, since you're posting on the Board, you need to read The Constitution. Sadly it's not signable any more, but still. And that... is it.
Seriously. You can look over the other stuff too if you want, but the only things you need to read are those. The Board is a place to be silly (again, hence the walking stick), not a world of rules and regs and so on. So relax! And be thankful we don't have editing access for the Constitution, otherwise it'd be about a hundred times longer now.

Let me see... oh! I know! Has anyone told you about the Urple Shade that lurks in the shadows of the Board? They say it hides behind the Return to Messages buttons... they say it can smell your cursor when it clicks on a link... and they say, in the dead of night, you can hear it coming... coming for you!
Nervous again yet?

Welcome to our bizarre, barely sane world, my friend. Please take a complimentary salted walnut. By the off chance one of them starts talking to you, I implore you to ignore its advice. Don't worry, though, it will never threaten to stab you.
My agents welcome you, and both of them hope that the arrival of your agents will lessen the workload for them. Though I doubt that.
I gift you with a jar containing a live Portuguese man o' war, and this sock full of rocks. I'm sure you'll find them useful. -

S'good to see some fresh
meatfaces 'round here.
If you haven't already, please check out the PPC Wiki. The article on Permission may be of particular interest to you.
Please read the TOS (not to be confused with Star Trek) if you get the time.
Avoid the Legendary Badfic, as even the summaries of those horrors can scare an unsuspecting mind.
Slow down, it's not a race. Hang around, let us get to know you, take the time to get to know us. We won't vanish tomorrow (barring major catastrophes completely killing the internet).
PS. If you change your mind about DMS, the Floaters could always use some extra bodies. -

Thank you, I'll read them tomorrow. Don't worry, I'm not changing my mind about the Department of Mary Sues anytime soon. By the way, is it okay to create OCs if you put them through the OC_analysis on livejournal first to make sure they're not Sues, or will that only get me kicked out? No, I'm not talking about my PPC agents.

Nice to meet you. Welcome to the Board. Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.
About posting... well, I think a brief explanation of how the Board works would be a good idea.
When you arrive, you're generally asked to hang around on the Board for a month or so, posting and letting people get to know you. During that time, you can develop your Agents and maybe join in any RPs with them.
Once that month is up, you can post asking for permission to write PPC missions. In that post, you put a brief profile of your Agents, a sample of your writing and maybe the fic you'd like to take on for your first mission. Once that's done, people will look at it, and if they like it, the Permission Givers will tell you whether or not you're good to go.
So basically, you can post profiles of your Agents, but you most likely won't get permission to write with them just yet.
Also helpful to know: have you read the Original Series and/or The Reorganisation and Crashing Down? The PPC Wiki is also useful. I'm sure somebody will be along shortly to throw the links at you either way.
Welcome again. -
