Very cute. I think I'll name him Bob (Bob, Fred, and George, those always seem like the names that everyone calls random little pets/creatures).
He'll live next to my computer until I find a better place for him^^
Yay! So I'm being recruited by Zoe, whose standing behind me, eating gummie bears, and telling me to talk about myself.
And she says hi.
So, okay. Well, lets start with my lovely Silmarillion obsession--gravitating very much towards the Feanorians. Annnnddd....I really don't know what else right now. 1) because my brain is dead, and 2) because dear Zoe is distracting me. So I'm going to go away and let her ramble about everything she's rambling about.
The end.
Cheers!
Ariel
I'm not entirely sure how much use it'll be, but there you are~ 8DD
I'm Le Jai, and am also a newb. :3 JulyFlame recruited me.
Welcome~! Everyone here, as I'm sure you've noticed, is nice and fun and good times~ And I'm not entirely sure if that last sentence made any sense whatsoever, but there you are.
Hehe:D It didn't make sense, but I don't make sense either, so it's okay! Here's a ptarmigan for you (hope I spelled that right). They're cute, fluffy little birds (and their name is fun to say!)
The towel's convenient and... well... I think it came out a bit different than most. So I can't predict what it'll do, but what it does shall be convenient.
For whom, I can't for the life of me predict.
So... welcome here, and it should be 'who is standing behind me' or 'who's standing behind me' not 'whose standing behind me', FYI, and sorry for nitpicking so early on.
May your edged weapons stay sharp! And if you don't have any, have a titanium spork called Resplendently, and may that stay sharp! And if you do have edged weapons, have the spork anyway ^^
C
Thanks:)
And grammar nitpicking is perfectly fine; I do it too. And I like commas...ANYWAY... sporks! :D
have some lembas :)
Why thank you^^. And you're Zoe's friend, yes? the name sounds familiar..
I really ought to get onto that, actually ... bad Trojie :)
=^)
Alright. Have fun^^ I'll poke her tomorrow for you
Take a Blumble-flavored ice cube (shaped like a Sue), a couple bottle of Blumble and enjoy your stay at the Board!
yay! Thank you:)
I'm sure you'll fit right in with all the other insane people here...(including myself, of course)
I gift you with psychic paper. Very useful for getting into parties uninvited. Just don't let your mind wander when you're using it...
Why thank you:) Lots of gifts; I feel so special^^
It is a monster made out of an old sock, but don't worry I washed it first!
Eeee! (some noise of amusment) I've never had a sock monster before^^ What should I name it?
I got one as well. I called him Fred, and now he lives in my Agents' Response Centre, guarding their chocolate.
Very cute. I think I'll name him Bob (Bob, Fred, and George, those always seem like the names that everyone calls random little pets/creatures).
He'll live next to my computer until I find a better place for him^^
*hugs fellow fan of the Fëanorians* After all, it's much safer than hugging them.
Very unsafe indeed; but thanks for the hug...and pie chart:)
Sometimes I can get Maitimo to give me a hug. Sometimes. Maglor too. Ambarussa? And as far as the 'c' brothers go...no. As much as I appreciate them (Carnistir made me write that. He lives inside my head. With Nelyo, whose telling him to be quiet), I don't think they would appreciate my hugging them.
Caranthir: You are very right about that.
Um...yes, I swear I'm normal. Sort of. No, I'm not, but that seems to be okay here^^
Hail and well met, and other such phrases. Welcome.
*hands over bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object*
These are my gifts for you as a newbie. Throw the pebbles at Sues and marvel at the shininess of the Shiny Object.
Always nice to have new faces around. Silmarillion-fandom! AWESOME!
Now...I'm guessing you'll want to write for the PPC at some point?
Here's the info you'll need.
First of all, you should spend about a month hanging around on the Board. Let everyone get to know you. Join in with discussions. During that time, check out some of the PPC stuff that's been written. A good place to look for stuff is the PPC Wiki, found here:
http://ppcwiki.wikilot.com/wiki/Main_Page
Make sure to read the Original Series, and have a look at Huinesoron's work- the Reorganisation/ Crashing Down and the DOGA website, mainly. (He's the main chronicler of PPC history, as well as doing about a million and one other projects. Strange person he is, but we all love him to bits for it. Links on the wiki.)
Also during that time, think yourself up an Agent or two. If you're working with someone, then one Agent each might be a good idea. Think about what Department you might like to go into- is it just Mary Sues, or are there other things that bother you, like Bad Slash or Technical Errors?
Then, once your month or so is up, post on the Board asking for Permission. Include brief descriptions of your Agents and a sample of your writing so the Permission Givers can get a feel for your style. Then wait a bit. Within the next few days, you should get a reply from a Permission Giver. Once Permission is granted, write away!
Note: if anyone gives you links to something called C*l*br**n, That Series, Littlefoot x Cera or anything called Legendary Badfic, for the love of everything sacred, DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK. They are called Legendary Badfic for a reason. You can find summaries of them on the Wiki, but even those could melt your brain.
Lovely to have you. Welcome to the insanity.
Yay! Shiny things are fun :D
Now, I think I'm going to fail at writing such a nice, detailed reply, but...no...this will be rather short, sorry.
Thanks for the info and all:) Zoe introduced me to the PPC Wiki last night, and, of course, warned me of the badfic. Would you happen to have something I could stab my eyes out with? Or erase the time between 10:30 and 11:30 last night? It was painful. *twitch* I went to bed last night afraid of having creepy, perverted dreams. None, luckily. I dreamt of something to do with Maedhros, but I don't think it was anything...yeah.
Okay. The end. Thank you for the welcoming *salutes* :D
That should help.
Just be thankful July didn't get to you first. She traumatises newbies regularly.
Did it help? Hmm...yes, sort of...yes!
Okay...traumatization, lovely. Dare I ask how? No. Probably shouldn't...I'm going to go draw now. That should make me feel better too:)
Just my friends on a regular basis. The fact that several of them ended up as newbies here is a coincidence. Really. It is.
*pats the newbie*
*poke*
Okay then^^ glad to be only slightly traumatized (by what Zoe showed me last night) O_o
And I'm sure someone will traumatise you with something worse than whatever you saw last night... Assuming it wasn't one of the No-Drool videos *Shudders*
But, in the case you get even more tramuatised, there are the different brands of Bleeprin you can deal with. Bleepolate would be milder, while Bleepka is very potent. It should be up on the Wiki, so if you ever get that nagging headache and a mental picture of Snape dancing around in a g-string saying he's such a pretty girl, then head for the stronger stuff.
Will do...O_o
Use it to shut the mouths of particularly annoying 'Sues.
Welcome!
I gift you with an egg whisk--it's gold-plated, and, hey, it whisks eggs! Use it for good and not evil.
Welcome to the insanity!
Welcome, welcome! Hail, newcomer! I gift thee with duct tape and a jar of wasabi, good for burning out nasty Sue eyes.
Nice to have more insane people along for the ride. Looking forward to jamming alongside you! ^.^
Why thank you! And I look foreward to all this random insane-ness as well^^
Do you know anyone who is really named Ariel? Because I do, and it was quite odd to see the unusual name of my very close friend ... here.
So, ah, anyway...I give you cherries and punch. They're from Xanth, which means they're fun, because they explode and, well, punch.
And is "Ariel" really a Quenya construction? Are you sure you're not naming yourself after one of Uranus's moons?
Well, I pray that it is of Quenya construction. Better be, or else I'm in trouble O_o
But it should be...should is the key word there; I doubt myself too easily. Will go check ^^
Ah! And thank you for the gifts, before I forget; they shall be used well:)
To go back to the name, it used to be worse. I called myself Melyanna, until I discovered not all that long ago that that is Melian, wich just doesn't work. At all. Yep. That sentence sounded really odd...
Sweet, Silm fan! The Fëanorians are beyond awesome.
I gift you with a harpsichord. Because harpsichords make everything better.
harpsichord? Hmm...*googles harpsichord* Oh! Okies:) Very cool; thank you^^
I wonder if Maglor would enjoy a harpsichord too? Since he's still wandering and being depressed and all? ...perhaps :)
...which I am, of course. (Don't tell anyone. xD)
So yay! Another Silm person! ^_^
Waa!! I can't type...okay. that's better. I had trouble typing my subject title thing...yay for psycho-ness^^ I must say that I'm quite insane myself...not like that's a bad thing...
And a plover is a bird. This will make sense later.
Welcome, Ariel! Is that after the mermaid, the Shakespeare character, or something else? I give you some cake that was once timeline-defying and is now just a bit stale. But it's chocolate, and everyone knows chocolate never really gets stale.
Ketchup...=^D Zoe tells me random firsts are normal...or not normal, depending on how not normal you are.
And I don't know if that made sense, but oh well...
Okay. So I'll wait for 'a plover is a bird' to make sense...and the name...Ariel...it's Quenya, means 'Noble Daughter' :D
And thank you for the cake^^
I see Tawaki has done the traditional greeting.
Ooh, Quenya. Neat. And you're welcome.
(I'd present you with a complementary silmaril replica, but I understand that the Fëanorians have those under copyright too, the sneaky bastards. So you get an iguana instead.)
Huzzah for a fellow Silmarillion fan! Our section is for the most part blessedly free of Sues, but I've seen a couple crop up lately. Who's your favourite character, then?
~Enelya
...but I'm currently killing a Maglor-Sue. Who makes him say "Peace out". And talks to animals.
I knew I'd curse a SilmSue into existence as soon as I wrote that there were none. Sorry, one and all.
What if the grammar was incorrect and it should have read 'Peace? Out!'. Because the Fëanorians are a fairly violent bunch. Talking to animals, I don't know. I agree with BattleHamster, I thought that was Celegorm's area.
No. Just no.
And it's Celegorm who's the animal person.
PEACE …ing OUT!? Said by Makalaurë Nelyafinwë!? +++ Divide By Cucumber Error. Please Reinstall Universe And Reboot. +++
Kill him, then. Zoe says to kill him good, and I agree. Bwahahahaahaasddf!!
( I don't know what the sddf is. But I typed it accidentaly, and I don't feel like deleting it:D)
Though Maglor doesn't need killing. Just the Sue who marries him.
but accidently wrote him instead.
~Zoe~
Oo...iguanas:) Very exciting. And my favorite Feanorian...certainly Maitimo! But I'm not aloud to tell Caranthir, or he'll get mad at me.
Again.
And then I'll get in trouble.
Again.
Ah, I am also a fan of He Whose Name Translates as Well-formed Redhead. :D
Ariel: Maitimo! *hugs*
Nelyo/Maitimo/Russandol/etc: "Ummm...Okay..."
Ariel: What? I don't get a hug today? Fine...*sulks* Usually I can get Nelyo to give me hugs. But...merf..
---
Alright. I'm normal now (maybe). Anywhos, your name sounds really fermiliar (why does that spelling look weird?), Enelya. Would I know you? Or would you know an 'ssiegler'?
Well, I'm Enelya on the PPC Board and also on Fanfiction.net, I've been around there for a while. It's a small net, after all.
Usually I'm quite a grammar/spelling freak, but...sometimes...
fanfic.net! Yes, I remember "A Common Enemy". It is all Finarfin's fault :P And I read a few others, but that one stuck with me because it was so very true^^ Okay. I feel better now :)
