No, I'm not going to shoot you. I'm going to POUNCE and HUG and GLOMP you instead, because freaking newbies out= fun! I gift you with gifts of a shiny crystal which is rather pointy and three yards of black alpaca yarn. Use them well, or if you can't figure out how to use them well, sell them and buy chocolate.

Hi there! I'm new, just in case you're wondering, and hopefully going to create some agents soon.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever tackled 'My Immortal'. You know, the Harry Potter fanfiction that was so bad if you type in 'worst fanfiction ever' on google, it comes up in the search engine? The one that has over 7000 reviews?
I have flatly no intentions of tackling that as a first mission if anyone's thoughts were meandering that way, but it was just a question of curiosity.
Here, have a mutated strawberry! I can't guarantee it won't spontaneously grow legs, but it should still taste alright, and if you're squeamish, you can just keep it as a pet.

It takes much to freak me out, sorry to disappoint you. In return I give you a handshake and a restraining order.
Thanks for the yarn. I can finally finish my sweater of DOOM with this.
BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a Response Center?
...I offer you a barbecue and a collection of spices and herbs.
Welcome, welcome, welcome. I suppose that, if you're here, you've also looked around the wiki and read the Original Series? Good, because otherwise, you'd be lost. :)
My current usual welcome gift is a granite pillow. Use it well.
And... I'm not sure what else to say now, so I'll let the others make their greetings. Thanks for coming!
Ah, yes. I've actually been casually acquainted with the PPC for a few years.
The whole Reorganization thing sounds fascinating. Wish there were mission reports mentioning it. And I reeeally want to meet the SO now.
A granite pillow. How useful for math class.
But I'm glad you're here.
Don't be eager to meet the SO, though; he'll send you into BAD badfic.
And the Reorganisation... is either written or coming, I can't recall. I'm woefully behind on reading hS's work.
Will you have a TARDIS or a response center?
Oh, and I give you a coffeemaker (this one even makes espresso). Not only does it replace sleep efficiently, but cups of coffee are the only reliable unit of time here in the HQ.
Gotta go, it's nine cups and a half.
I think I'll take the Response Center for a little bit. And then grow so frustrated I'll burn the thing down and take the TARDIS.
Ooh, espresso! Also useful for math class. I'm stocking up on anti-sleep items nicely.
See ya at eight cups and a tablespoon of whipping cream.
We'd, er, spotted that one. It's a troll. We snigger from a distance.
Not that I'd touch that...abomination.
The wiki gives no hits, and the name's not ringing any bells, so... probably not? Unless it's been taken by someone who hasn't updated the Killed or Claimed lists, of course.
"My Inner Life" is a notoriously gawdawful and ridiculously long "Ocarina of Time"-universe Suefic. I think it's pretty much dead anyhow.
And here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/houseofmst/lqmsts.html
Do you know the Agents that tackled that? Or if you have a link to the mission?
I don't know that it was tackled. Trolls aren't, generally. It's not exactly in the spirit of things.
That said, the wiki page (http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MyImmortal#PPCMission) says someone's claimed it.
I believe there was actually considerable debate over whether or not it was a troll. I think the eventual conclusion reached was "let's kill itjust in case."
I mean, the spelling actually gets WORSE as the story advances...
The writer must laugh her ass off when she reads all the flaming comments.
Personally, I lean towards it being genuine. YMMV.
Ah, okay. Thanks!
