Le français, comme les autres langues etrangeres, est optionnel dans les États-Unis; beaucoup des gens prennent l'espagnole, mais il y a des gens qui aime le français.
*looks around nervously, ducking "U" with teeth*
Bleep you, Ironic Overpower!
Anyway, hi! I saw this site on TV tropes, spent several days reading, and then decided that at that rate I WOULDN'T be spending any more time procrastinating if I actually signed up now; the Unclaimed Badfic list cemented it. I could not BELIEVE the nerve of whoever had written that Xanth piece!!
Fandoms: Too many to count. Include Percy Jackson (and Heroes of Olympus), Harry Potter, Tortall, Circle of Magic (all related books read) (I think that I saw a badfic from that as well...), some relatively obscure SF (over .5 century old)... You get the idea. (No. Not you, "U"! Ugh! Give back the idea!)
As those who will be reading this post can probably tell, I am rather silly. (If you're wondering why I'm not logged in, the thing claims to have sent the confirmation email but none is showing up.)
Hello, and greetings from a fellow lurker! As your n00b gift, I present to you one coupon for a custom gunblade of your choice, smithed by yours truly! Also... Percy Jackson?! Hooray!
...Watch out for the tea, eh?
Hi! Welcome to the Board.
So you have a preferred fandom? That's good. I don't have one as of yet, but maybe it would be best if I didn't. The Department of Mary Sues has a Freelance Division, after all.
Silly is good. The PPC loves silly people showing up.
Another magic-lover, eh? Are you also a Pokémon fan, by any chance? Because as your newbie gift, I'll give you a Delphox!
Enjoy the craziness that is the PPC!
That was a startlingly good fit, IMO. My knowledge of Pokemon comes from maybe 3 hours- total- of watching over acquaintances' shoulders when bored and bumping into stuff about it on the 'net occasionally.
That being said, should I ever actually play, I will SO totally get a Fennekin and try to evolve xir.
Will do!
Take this X-men jacket and Nightcrawler plushie
Now, where on or off Earth am I going to put all of this stuff?
Welcome to the PPC! We do indeed love newbies here, so take your shoes off, leave your sanity at the door, and come on in!
As a welcome gift, I'll gift you with the music of one Henri Dutilleux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Ib2dXTcak
Tu parles le français? Oh la la, c'est cool!
And no, I just happen to be into classical music of all nationalities. Speaking of knowing French, though, I probably should get on knowing that, LOL...
Alors, recemment, j'avais beaucoup des problems avec choses comme YouTube. Aussi, le français est un beau langue.
(Et finalement, je détèste l'autocorrigeur.)
Well, recently, I've been having a lot of problems with stuff like YouTube. Also, French is a beautiful language.
(And finally, I hate Autocorrect.)
'Z êtes francophone? En ben, je vous souhaite la bienvenue, m'sieur / dame! Je vous en prie, faites comme chez vous.
Je regrette de ne pas avoir le savoir musical quasi-encyclopédique de Herr Wozzeck, mais permettez moi de vous offrir une tune venant d'un de mes jeux vidéos préférés.
*En reposant*
Je parle un peu de français, et je suis fille.
Je regrette, mais ma mobile ne l'aime meilleur.
Bienvenue, mademoiselle! Je m'appelle sonofheaven176, et je te saluerai en anglais bientôt. Mais je suis curieux maintenant: D'où viens-tu? Es-tu francophone natale, ou bien as-tu appris le français en un école? Moi-même, je suis haïtien, mais j'ai appris beaucoup de ma français en école.
Alors, j'apprend le français au lycée. Ma langue maternelle, c'est l'anglais.
mais tu as oublié une question: je t'ai demandé d'où tu es venue. Moi-même, je suis d'originne haïtienne, mais je suis américain. Maintenant, je vis à New York. Toi?
Je ne savais pas qu'on avait si beaucoup. (J'ai appris a l'ecole-- je vis aux Etats-Unis. Et cet ordi n'a pas accents. Bleh.)
-Aila
Ma mobile a des accents- Mai's il a l'Autocorrigeur Aussie. C'est penible, n'est-ce pas?
Voici une liste qui pourrait vous aider.
Si vous utilisez un Mac, veuillez consulter ce site.
On enseigne le français aux États-Unis? Je pensais que l'espagnol était la deuxième langue de facto.
Le français, comme les autres langues etrangeres, est optionnel dans les États-Unis; beaucoup des gens prennent l'espagnole, mais il y a des gens qui aime le français.
Eh bah ouais, mais j'ai allé au Lycée Francais La Perouse du K3 au 6eme, et c'est une école francaise, alors...
-Aila
Quand on conjugue le passé composé d'aller, on utilise être comme le verbe auxiliaire, non avoir. Donc, tu as dû écrire "je suis allée" (tu dois ajouter l'autre "e" parce que tu es femelle), non "j'ai allé."
Merci! Je savais qu'il y avait quelque chose d'incorrecte, mais je pouvais pas le trouver. Aussi, je devais être endormi.
-Aila
mais il apparaît qu'il y a une autre erreur. Si tu as voulu dire to be sleepy en français, l'éxpression est "avoir sommeil." Donc, tu as dû écrire, "j'avais sommeil."
How many of the Tortall books have you read? Which ones are your favorite? I've read up to Protector of the Small book one and the first Beka Cooper novel ("Terrier"). I tried reading Trickster's Choice, but I got confused halfway through.
Anyway, silly people fit right in here. Thanks for joining, and here's your complimentary bag of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. (Don't worry, I got rid of the gross ones.)
It isn't always easy to tell them apart.
*Takes a bite*
Papaya, I think.
I've read... All but the last few Beka Cooper ones. As for a favorite... Tough choice. They're all so good!
If, however, one exits Tortall, my favorite out of her books is the Circle of Magic series and its sequels. There are... I think eleven of them.
Anyway, she's so good at character development and such that it's kind of crazy. One of her main characters LITERALLY TURNS OUT TO BE A DEMIGOD. Pretty much the only demigod we EVER hear of in Tortall, to boot...
And she doesn't come off as a Sue. AT ALL. That's how good at this Tamora Pierce is.
Trickster's Choice is a bit puzzling in the middle, but still quite good.
Hi, have some fudge!
I wouldn't worry too much about logins, just type your name in the "author" space (or let autocomplete do it for you). My login was eaten in a computer crash/reset and I've never been able to get a new one.
FUDGE! *pounces and devours*
Thanks!
Hello and welcome!
I hereby give to you a lined Infinite Notebook, complete with urple covers and wilver binding. Enjoy, and don't look at it straight on!
-Aila
*Waves back*
Thank you!
Must remember to add name...
I dare not say anything about the Ironic Overpower... You must be pretty brave...
I lurked for probably... Over a month? before joining. You can thank Meekerbeeker for introducing me to the PPC through her stories.
Well, if you have a wikia account, in a few days you be able to edit the Unclaimed Badfic list. :3
No need to log in. *grins* actually, before I found out that you didn't need to put in your email, the Email fill-in was the only thing stopping me from joining XD
Aren't we all silly? :P
My phone has seemed to have gotten into the habit of occasionally only loading pages when I look away. Perhaps I shouldn't taunt it- stranger things have happened.
Everyone is silly ;p
Also... Your namefield says 'anonymous'... You might want to check you fill in your name...
Yeah, I keep forgetting about that. Sigh. Oh, well, though...
Thank you!
Welcome to the Board! I joined a few days ago, and also found the PPC via TV Tropes, although unlike you, I lurked on the wiki and the Original Series for about two weeks. As a fellow newbie, I give you best wishes!
I'm glad that we share a few fandoms. Percy Jackson is one of my minor fandoms that I didn't include in my introductory post, for whatever reason. I also really love the Harry Potter series.
Logging in isn't necessary, by the way. You can just type in a name.
I bestow upon thee a large U-shaped pillow. It may or may not bite; I'm not going to try to find out.
We're not so different, you and I; I've been lurking for... Probably around a week!
Harry Potter is a great series, although I haven't read the books in years.
*I lean on the U-shaped pillow....*
Apparently, it's like you guys. It doesn't bite, but it glomps. ;p
Hey!
Here have an urple colored pencil, get used to writing with your eyes closed with this wonderfully colored piece of stationary.
Have you read The Original Series and the Constitution? If not I suggest you do so right away (what are you sitting around for?)
Well I'm with you on the first two fandoms, can't say I've heard of the other two, but that doesn't really matter.
You'll fit right in, I don't think any of us are particularly that sensible.
Storme Hawk
I have read (most of) TOS, I've read the Constitution, and I've read some missions, agent profiles, and (other) wiki pages. (I'm sitting around because room-cleaning is booring.)
Is anyone IRL really that sensible, I wonder?
Don't worry about logging in and all that; I don't think anybody bothers with it.
You've read Xanth, too? Isle of View! :D We share a lot of the same fandoms, it looks like. Very cool.
Lessee... presents... you get your very own Spearmint! Just watch out for the pointy end (make sure to point it at Mary Sues).
One of my favorite puns (granted, they're all quite good, but this one was pretty memorable) from that series was the catastrophe. I haven't read all of the books, but have read some- enough at any rate to know that the only known party able to grant a Magician-caliber talent would be the Demon Xanth, and there's no way that he'd do that to the group of kids in the story mentioned. Again... Grr.
Anyway, regarding gifts: what's customary? I mean, am I supposed to come up with some for you guys?
It's just a way we Boarders have of welcoming newbies. ;) Although some people might have given gifts back...? I don't know, but you don't have to. Just let us all crowd around and make you uncomfortable. Heh heh.
My mom has a fairly large collection of Xanth books, but I haven't read all of them either. I'd like to, but you don't find many people who've heard of it these days. Shame.
I wouldn't suggest trying to eat the Spearmint. It is rather pointy.
Sounds good.
I'm familiar with Xanth (and old SF) thanks to my dad, who has quite a few books in the series.
