Gives a fox plushie and a pair of combat sporks. And an energy drink.

Welcome to the ppc. enjoy your gifts.

Hello! Have a seat, but be carful of where you sit. You never know what is masquarading as a chair nowadays.

Welcome to this insanity that we call the PPC. Watch out for the minis, they will take your foot off if you step on them. As for my gift, you have one free voucher for the General Store. Good for anything that is not in the rare section. And please don:t try the cheat the staff. They are one mini from each fandom. So they know things...

Anyways, welcome!

Leto

But here, have a nice fiery glomp from my four minis. (Locy and Lucy Pevenzi are mini-Dragons and Mara Labinigi and Ithillien are mini-Balrogs.)

You might need some burn salves now. But anyways, welcome to the PPC!

*waves enthusiastically* Is a box of miscellaneous biscuits acceptable?

Well, the bit about being bitten can kind of put off some people…

It's like a slightly smaller fuzzy yak thing, but with huge spiky horns and a taste for sausages. And it's blue. That too. It was spawned by a spambot consistently spelling "your" as "ypur," to ward off the incoming question.

*platonic glomf*

Lurkers unite. :P

HP, House, and Twilight, huh... interesting assortment you've got there. *evil chuckles*

I like that banner. Where can I get one for myself? I'll pay you in sugar... *offers pixie stix* 'Cause chaos is fun.

Sedri already gave you wiki link.

Prepare to be assaulted in other linkage ways.

First off, let me introduce you to the FAQ for the Board, it is rather handy for a newbie like yourself, and I promise it shouldn't eat you or give you rabies (that's me). Please to be making sure to read the Board Constitution (Wiki link here, Oddlots copy is up at top of Board) too.

Here is the infamous Araeph's The List of Everything PPC, it is really quite shiny. There's also the Complete List of PPC Fiction, and I personally heartily recommend reading several of the longer spin off series (I would give a few examples here but it is half past midnight as I write this and my brain is currently on holiday) to get a feel for things before you try reading things like Huinesoron's more serious PPC stuff- Reorganisation and Crashing Down - because while fantastic, both're confusing for newbie brains.

Now, beyond that, I'll give some handy advice.

Don't be afraid of the oldbies - they don't bite (that's me that bites, and I'm not an oldbie, and I'm sure they'll find a muzzle and will provide you with rabies shots afterwards), definitely post so that we can get a feel for you, and all in all have fun and don't take everything seriously (well, very seriously at any rate. Serious is allowed, so long as you don't take it too far).

Another handy bit of advice is that you, as a newbie, should not be left alone with me at all, so I welcome you to break that dire warning and IM me or something. fairladypsyche on YIM and AIM and with @hotmail.com suffix for MSN (and JulyFlame-at-gmail.com for Gtalk if you'd rather). To be truthful, no one should be left alone with me at all, and I'm sure a few of my victims friends will come along, spy this, and be honest and agree and warn you, which will do nothing but get you curious and end up leading you into a trap.

Welcome! And no, we don't waste much time. Good to meet you! *shakes hand dramatically*

Hmmm... I don't see July with her usual Plateful Of Links yet, so I'll give you the basic one - the PPC wiki, here (http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki) - and let her take care of the rest.

Bonjour! nuqneH! "Hello" in any other language of your choice!

I give you a Tribble and- well, I think I ought to skip the chocolate in this case. Have some Bleep-products instead. Just don't feed the Tribble too much.

The Harry Potter fandom highly approves of your assistance (or at least, I do on behalf of it).

My final gift is a sharp, pointed, and shiny object of your choice.

Welcome. :)

Oh, and I approve of your banner.

Harry Potter fandom, eh? The Divison of More Dakka issues you a refractor field, suitable for stopping curses, lascannon shots, and other such annoyances the Sues may launch your way.

*hug*

Okay, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but spambots and author wraiths as well! Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity! XD

*while chewing various baked goods* You sure don't waste any time out here, do ya?


mmmmmmmm....lembas

Welcome to the PPC. Have some banana chips. Bananas are good. Great source of potassium.

*hands over introductory plate of lembas*

Welcome to the PPC Board! No doubt others will come along later and give you links to the many and multifarious places and info that we have on the PPC, so I am just going to do my usual and throw baked goods at you :)

-Trojie, hoping that the sugar in the lembas won't be a problem ...
