At least be consoled by the fact that I didn't do it nearly so eloquantly as you would have.

(note: Repost from the LJ group. It's more or less an introduction)
It has been many a year since I last heard of the PPC. I don't even remember how long ago it was, honestly, but a long time indeed. Last time I checked it was really just Jay and Acacia, along with a few other brave souls. I made cause with them, but honestly I couldn't get through enough bad fanfics to actually write anything. As time went by I became distracted, and wandered away from this corner of the internet. I figured this little adventure would have eventually played it self out, leaving behind, at best, a decaying, obsolete website.
So, imagine my surprise while wandering the awesomness that is TVTropes in finding that the PCC was still around. You guys have done damn well for yourselves, and have carved out your own niche in cyberspace. In fact, from what I've seen, you're better organized and growing faster then most of the online communities I'm part of, not to mention the Real World ones. You guys should be proud of yourselves.
Anyway, enough ramblings from an old-timer (well, relatively speaking). In more relevent news, have you guys had a chance to take a stab at the new contender for the title of "World's Worst Fanfic" AKA "My Immortal?" (No, really. Google "worst fanfic" and it's the first hit). If not, it definitely needs it. Worst Sue I've ever seen, and quite possible one of the more disturbing things on the internet, and believe me, I've seen a lot.
Happy hunting!

Well, nice to meet ya. *disappears* -

Yes, we live and thrive! And we (at least I) have an over-abundance of egg whisks, so please take one! They're shiny, gold-plated, and whisk not only eggs but spambots and author wraiths! So yes. *grin*
Welcome back to the insanity! Enjoy your stay, and watch out for stray ypurs... -

Welcome back. :P I've just checked, and the links I might have thrown at you have already been done (and it would be entirely egocentric to link you directly to the continuing PPC History saga, so of course I won't do that [Is shameless]), so all I can do is say hello! Welcome back! We've had our ups and downs (I've been here since autumn 2003, not long after Jay finally left, so I'd know), but this dear old Board keeps swinging back up. We're not going away for a loooong time.

And for 'My Immortal' I point to Mad Hattie. She's taken a personal grudge it seems against that story. So, hopefully she'll be dealing with it soon enough. We were actually talking about it's 'Sequal' earlier, 'Bring Me Back to Life', with many of us gibbering and breaking out the various Bleep products.
But anywho, welcome back! I gift you with some Bleepolate! -
