It was cool to see how some of the more odd and specialised Departments operate. My favourite bit of 'Ephemerals' is the Wallflower not realising what it was letting itself in for. (That WMD piece seemed really familiar, has it appeared elsewhere before?).

Oh, and I meant to mention this last time, but forgot - I like the artwork you've done for The Ispace Wars. A few of those symbols look like stuff I definitely didn't see on the board about a year ago :)

There should be a scene break where the story transitions into the Cafeteria (i.e., somewhere around the line "But you still know people, right?") As it is, I do not know which scene the aforementioned line falls into, and also, I only figure out that the scene has changed from the RC t the Cafeteria when the next paragraph tells me that I'm in the cafteria—as it was, I was left wondering where "Estelnar" came in.

I had seen the Wrecked Music Department piece before. I'm not really a fan of the concept, since it doesn't seem like the PPC ever would have bothered doing something like this. (Also, this one mission we see seems more like Plagiarism's purview.)

I like that the DCH finally gets some screen time, and that you used the opportunity to show how Mylissa went insane, as mentioned in her one other appearance. Still, it's a little hard to imagine how a mission would go for any duck other than Mylissa, since they all seem to reinforce the same type of humor they would ostensibly be fighting against.

The DRS, I actually really like conceptually, because it would be an opportunity to do . . . shall we say, "toned down" romance fics, without all the icky stuff? I might try looking for a mission that would work in this style for my floaters. I am curious to know why this department had a flower as an agent; it would be the only Flower still going on active duty in the worlds after the Organisation expanded, yeah?

Godplayers is the one department I feel probably could have remained as its own department, but there's not much we can do about so few people having written in it. I'm glad it lived on as a division.

Willful Ignorance is my favorite of the ones presented by you here. (It is "willful," right? Or is "wilful" an accepted spelling in English English?) I love the technology you made here, and if you don't object, I would love to give it a spin with my floaters someday. There's a huge amount of potential, both to let the first person'd agent show off what they know about canon, and almost "write" things back to the way they should be in their mind, but also have the tech go haywire and create further complications.

All in all, some excellent and imaginative ideas here!

Both high school and colleges start summer vacation around the end of May, so the month leading up to it is study time. I'm lucky enough that I don't have much problem memorizing things, so I only have to worry about my math final.

Also, I really liked the short about the shut-down departments. I don't know why, but I found the image of the Floating Hyacinth bobbing in the Fountain of Bleepka absolutely hysterical. I'd love to offer concrit, but I can't think of anything you need to improve on. ;)

Either one makes teachers realize that they need to have a whole lot more paperwork filed then they have currently, so assign students all of the homework and give quizzes to prepare for the big test at the end.

Speaking of appearances on the Board: I'm not going to have many soon. I know that recently I've just about fallen off of the face of the Board, but something is coming up. Starting May 10th, I will be working at Denali National Park as an interpretive naturalist. Or, in simple terms, I'm going to be a tour guide at Denali. They are providing housing for me (at the Denali Princess Lodge! For only $15 a day!) and they do actually expect my off time to be spent preparing for presentations or being outdoors doing outdoorsy... things. Which means, not so much time online checking posts and writing PPC stories. If I have opportunity, I will try and take a look every now and then, but on the whole, I have to leave the community for a while.

This means that I have three things for the PPC that I want to try and get out before I go: the review for Rambling Band, the next part of that crossover I'm working on, and those Alaska questions I was asked forever ago and never answered. I'll post the answers on the Board, and give opportunity for others to ask more if they want before I go. And hey, if you have any Alaska questions at any point, feel free to leave them on my Wiki page. I'll be sure to get to them as soon as I can.

Now, I'm not leaving immediately, I do have until the 10th, but I suppose, for now, this is goodbye.

This is finals week for students at my university. We don't all have them the same week, but this is about when they happen.
