I know how it feels to write down your PPC ideas and not know if the community at large will accept them, but I feel like you might be overdoing it. Like Neshomeh said, perhaps you could ask some friends to give their feedback on your work before turning to the Board.

Hang out in the chat room? ( http://wbe002.mibbit.com/?settings=12bf096bab4399ac3d0cc82c41d78b70&server=irc.sorcery.net&channel=%23ppc&nick=RandomPPCer%3F%3F )
Then, when you finish writing something, you can ask if anyone has time to take a look and give their opinion. If anyone can, you can send them the link via private message, by double-clicking on their username in the right-hand column. -

I've seen most chat happen at 2:am. I suppose I could adjust my sleep schedule to be up that early if there was a significant reason to.

Half the time when I look up the CAD, I don't get a list, and that's not the one I remember seeing before. The one I looked at had what canon they were from as part of the readout.
I had forgotten about that, but still leaves confusion.
Believe me, I'm constantly referring to the Wiki. -
Four different "CAD" pages by
on 2014-08-13 02:26:00 UTC

First you have the generic "CAD" catchall page, that's where I got that readout from.
Then you have the Canon Analysis Device, then the Character Analysis Device, and finally the Combined CAD.
Hope that helps. -

I also have a character like Jenni, in that I've used him "in about a zillion RPs." It's neat to know that other people have characters like that too. And yeah, it does help to figure out what the bare-bones, most central parts of the character are. For example, my character is a rogue who achieves good goals through very bad methods.

Permission is not about your characters - it is about you, the author, and whether you understand what the PPC is about and can write good characters in it. You were not given permission, which means that we aren't OK with you publishing any agents or missions.
The rules - including the ones about Permission - are pretty important to our community. It's how we stay together. I'm really unhappy that you keep trying to get around them or ignore them. -

I haven't read Lord of the Flies, but I'll do what research I can (maybe read the book, since it's a classic and all), and then I will write an interesting short story about Jenni on a deserted island. {= )

Oh, man, you totally have to read LotF sometime. by

The writing is starting to get a little dated, but it is excellently character-driven. Lots of action, really detailed setting . . .
. . . and a surprising amount of badfic for classic literature.
*doctorlit may associate reading new things with opportunities to do missions in more continua to an unhealthy extent* -

I had to analyze some passages for IB English class. I'm telling you, the religious metaphors that pop up would have gone over my head if my teacher didn't explicitly point them out to the class.
The analysis didn't settle the question on everybody's lips, though: would everything have gone the same way with an all-girl group? -

I was thinking of having Kim do at lot of LOTF fanfiction since the required reading should generate so much badfic. I think I read it, but mostly I had study-hall at the back of a classroom that was studying it. (My english class did something boring set in the great depression.)
I remember the epileptic jesus-figure. I might have to re-study it if I actually go the sporking route. (Would be next year at least anyway... claim your badfics now.) -

Could be Robinson Crusoe's island as long as she doesn't meet Friday, or the Swiss Family Robinson's as long as there aren't any other castaways.
Heck, she could be the only crash survivor on pre-colonisation Pern with a year's worth of supplies. -

Her name actually is Jennifer Robinson. 'Scuse while I go bust a gut. {X D
But seriously, I'll try to have something done in a week, and then the Board can judge whether it sucks or not.

Yes, that's a good representation of what I was saying, especially the bit about keeping the core of the characters the same while writing them in a different setting. Thanks for trying to help. {= )
