Welcome to the message board. I got into a bit of trouble recently for giving someone a self-assembly enema kit, so have a spork mattress (a comfortable resting place for the everyday spork on the go).

I gift you with psychic paper, useful in all kinds of situations. Just be careful not to let your mind wander, and don't use it after reading the Legendary Badfic.

Don't think anyone has said this, but in order to write for the PPC, you have to hang out on the Board at least a month, posting and chatting and such. When the month is up, you post asking for Permission, with your Agent(s), their Department, and a writing sample.

(Oh, and Atwater-Rhodes is awesome, I agree.)

Have fun here!

YES! More rain lovers! I give you a welcome gift - RAIN!

Actually, it's running water. One of those self-contained mini-environments that has a river flowing up and down hills and lifted by water-wheel to return to the beginning. Also, there's a little firebrand in the middle of the 'land'. Enjoy!

It's always good to find another person who can't be in a rain shower without dancing! And another Atwater-Rhodes fan (love her vamps)! And distracted by moving shinys! And a poetry nut!

I think maybe I love you. XDD

Speaking of which, you heard Loreena McKennitt's song version of The Highwayman? She leaves out a few stanzas, but otherwise it's fantastic! I've always found that having a tune to the words makes memorizing much easier. And have you read John Masefield? His sea poems sometimes make me wonder if he didn't have a little of Tolkien's sea longing himself...

And now for the obligatory gift: the egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and it whisks eggs! Feel free to use on spambots and other nasties!

Welcome to the insanity!

About the moving fire or water? Same here. I stare at candles for ages and ages and usually end up burning napkins and flower petals inside. *issuchapyro*

Buuut anyway. I give thee a Ypur, which was born from a spambot's typo and resembles a dark blue, spiky-horned yak. It eats sausages.

To save you some time, you also get a scarf made of Ypur fur.

So. Any agents?

Tlot in the frosty silence, tlot in the echoing night
Nearer he came and nearer, her face was like a light
Her eyes grew wide for a moment, she drew one last deep breath
Then her finger moved in the monlight
Her musket shattered the moonlight
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him with her death.

Memorizing poetry (and songs) is fun. Hooray for "The Highwayman"!

Anyway, I gift you with a harpsichord. Because harpsichords make everything better.

Got any Agents yet?

Welcome, Anity! I give you a coxcomb, which is a funny hat worn by old-fashioned jesters. It's fun.

Finally, a chance to give my thing out. Hi and welcome.

The Wiki

And Board FAQ.

Have a pair of ice skates.

Apologies, I just had sugar. But hello anyway! *waves frantically*

Always lovely to have more newbies! Here you go! *gives bag of pebbles for throwing at Sues and a Random Shiny Object to gaze at*

And you have sporks! I have sporks too, somewhere, but my stuff's in such a mess at the moment that I cannot locate them. I'll find them soon, though.

There are several links which no doubt will be provided for you soon (I'd provide them but JulyFlame reserves the right to hand links out as newbie-gifts), which you should check out, if you have not done so already.

What fandoms do you cover, other than the books of the lady you already mentioned?

Oh, and just in case, if anyone gives you a link to something called C*l*br**n, That Series or anything called Legendary Badfic, in the name of everything sacred, DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK. Those things could and probably would break your brain.

Once again, welcome to the PPC and I hope to see you around!

Well, I'm kinda new here myself, so I have no helpful hints or nifty items to give. I'm pretty good at digging up badfic when I put my mind to it, but somehow I don't think you'd want any.

Forgive my ignorance, but what has Amelia Atwater-Rhodes written? It's entirely possible I've read some of her books and not noted her name.

Also, The Highwayman = win, at least in my books. You've managed to get yourself tagged as a nifty person, congratulations. Here's a pointe shoe. Slightly dead shank-wise, but still hard enough in the box to cause unconsciousness when applied with sufficient force. Enjoy! : )

*Gives first load of Bleepolate* That's Bleech, Asprin and Chocolate, in case you didn't know. Bleech to forget bad memories, asprin to get rid of the headache of reading bad stories and chocolate because, eh, who needs a reason for chocolate to be there?

Anyways! Welcome to the crazyness that is the PPC! Mind your first few steps, because if you aren't careful, they'll run off on you. I'm still looking for mine.
