You talked about the badfics you were going to write when Des and Sergio's post had no mention of writing badfics.

Was your post supposed to be in response to them saying that the PPC is a community first and foremost? Was your post supposed to be stating how you plan to become a part of the community?

Because-- and I'm not sure if you're doing this accidentally or intentionally-- almost every one of your responses in this thread has managed to push everyone's buttons.

There're more than a few issues in your reply to VM alone that really make me quirk an eyebrow.

First and foremost this item: "I wasn't racist back then except" This right here? Makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable. If you're racist? The PPC as a community is not for you, and you should leave. There is no place for anyone who has that kind of hatred behind them here.

As for "complete wrongness of judgement", if you believe this, again, you're more than welcome to leave. Because if you think that Neshomeh, Dann, and everyone else besides who've given you advice or suggestions for how to behave on here on the board and what you should be doing with regards to PPC activities and getting permission are wrong in what they're saying? You don't belong here.

Not because you don't agree- heavens, no one constantly agrees with each other- but because you seem so, so firmly sure that they're in the wrong and that you therefore can and should act and behave and do as you like here. Permission is an important part of the PPC, as is following the rules here.

No one is above the rules- except, apparently, you, to the point that you're willingly ready to lie about circumstances to mark yourself as in the right and as being bullied and attacked by others. No one here is going to accept that.

It is our choices that show what we truly are. Dann was not commenting on you, as a person, but on your behavior in this community. Someone can be a perfect angel in their day-to-day life, but if they go online and act like a jerk, the other online people will think they are a jerk. (Insert self-deprecating humor about caring for animals but being rude to zoo customers here.) The way you act is the only part of you that any of us can see, and yes: when you ignore advice and try to skirt around problems instead of discussing them, people will have a problem with that, because that is rude. You seem to think that being called on such behavior is a defamation on your person, but without realizing that the way you've acted towards some of the people who have been trying to help you hurts their feelings, as well.

Also, saying your request was disorganized, or any other criticism of your work, is also not an attack on your character as a person; they are pointing out mistakes in the writing you created, or the format you presented it in. Permission really does need to be earned, and it is your responsibility to put in the work necessary to present your work to the PGs in a way that they can make a proper decision.

As to your last paragraph, the prompt doesn't actually have to be canon to your spin-off. Many of the prompts are things that wouldn't normally happen, at least not for every author's agents. The only point is to show the PGs that you can write well. Haven't seen them in a while. Let's see . . .

Here's the only control prompt I haven't already shown in my spin-off:

"So, Doc," Vania said, lowering the book away from Doc's face with a finger. "How did you wind up in the PPC, anyway?"

Doc watched the finger, eyes widened, but answered absently, "There was a paper sign posted at the library. Sounded like just a seminar or something, but there were other words there too, after a few seconds." He carefully lowered the book out of the hook of her finger and held it away from Vania. "Actually, it was kind of like reading the Words on a mission, now that I've seen those."

"Huh." Vania nestled her elbow into Doc's mattress, apparently standing on her own below. "Wonder how they did that."

Doc shrugged. "I don't know. Anyway, those extra words gave instructions to get into some hidden closet in the employee only area. There was a portal there. I went through, and there was a Dandelion there, who escorted me to the Marquis."

"Wow. Worst ending to a library trip ever. Wait, Libr--" Vania's eyes flicked to the bookshelf, where Doc had unloaded a wheelbarrow's worth of novels onto the shelves. "Did you . . . ?"

Doc scowled. "No. I did not ROB a LIBRARY, Vania."

"Fine! Just asking! But, uh, where did you get the wheelbarrow?"

And I have no clue where Doc got the wheelbarrow, and don't have the time to think on it now, as I work a twelve-hour shift in the morning and need sleep. But my point is, this is clearly not canon: my agents are OOC (they do not yet get along this well; Vania is also rather dull here), and I've never seen anything so brazen as a portal just sitting around where random library staff could see it. (It's also quite shoddy, with bare-bones action, little background, and no plot, as I threw it together in just under fifteen minutes. Actual permission requests should have more work put into them than that.) But that's okay, as it's only a writing exercise, meant to demonstrate that I can write (I hope, lol), not to commit me to any new plotlines in my spin-off.

(Dann, I apologize if I've misrepresented you in any way. Feel free to correct me.)

Firstly, and most importantly: The racist comments. They stop now. I mean immediately. They have no place in this community, and will not be tolerated. Not on this Board, not on the Wiki, not in the Chatroom. I wish I could tell you to drop it from real life, as well, but sadly, that's out of my jurisdiction. You'll need to work on that on your own. But regardless of how you feel in real life, you MAY NOT share hate-based views here. Period.

And back to the initial point: there is a search bar at the top of the main page of the Board. Now you know how. It stretches back at least a few years, so both of your permission requests are undoubtedly still within its range. Try typing in Permission, or one of your agent's names.
