The PPC is almost as old as I am *stares in awe*

I'll try to go forth and be awesome, though currently I have a wonderful case of writer's block on my mission.
We'll see how it goes.

*gives brownie*

Happy PPC Anniversary, everybody! Have some nms & nms from my actually monstrous stash. It seems that whenever I end up writing some, nobody takes any. Humph.

But anyways, who brought the cake?

This time back then I think I might've just stepped off the plane from China onto the US.

Wow.

Lots of turning points here.

... Wow. I was nine in 2001.

I'd celebrate with some music, but I'm having a hard time finding anything that isn't cliched by this point...

And was that really yesterday? Heh... I was asleep when the thread was started.

But that is kind of mind-blowing when you think about it, how Jay and Acacia changed so many of our lives. This is definitely a date to mark on the calendar.

I celebrated this over on Tumblr, but I can't believe I forgot to check in here!

. . . he's spent the last three days in bed with the black death. I'm pretty sure that's what it is, anyway. He's not even reading (I offered to phone an ambulance, but he said no . . .).

However, I will remind him that he should celebrate today. He probably won't throw a pillow at my head. Maybe.

...on TA 3019, May 5th, the One Ring was seized by Gollum and he fell with it into the Cracks of Doom. Sauron's power was gone forevermore and he could never again take physical form or interact with the world.

The Emperor Protects!

Honestly, I'm not sure I've said this, ever, or maybe only once, but I love this community so very very much. Everyone here is just the epitome of wonderful, and I just, well... I guess I just wanted to thank you all, and to thank Jay and Acacia, and to thank all those who came before and are no longer here for making this place the wonderful place it is. And oh, look, I'm crying. Why am I crying? *hugs you all*

Much love,
Aila

Behind the the seat upon the right floated, sable upon white, a great arrowhead directed skyward; upon the left was a banner, argent on black, a naked sword glinting in preparation for battle; but behind the highest throne in the midst of all a great standard was spread in the breeze, and there a white tree flowered upon a sable field beneath a shining crown and seven glittering stars.

(Mostly) taken from the chapter in The Return of the King entitled "The Field of Cormallen."

Surely a day for celebration! Praise to J.R.R. Tolkien and many other authors for gifting us with worlds to play in, and to the mighty Jay and Acacia for beginning the tradition of defending these worlds!

Indeed, let us look closer look at the stories that started it all.

This week, in honor of the 13th anniversary of the PPC: TOS, I will begin my review series of the Stories of the PPC. I want to practice reviewing, so what better way to do so then reviewing PPC work over time? I will not tie myself down to a schedule, as my own schedual is all too hectic right now, and I guarantee I would break it before it had time to get established. However, I feel I can say that a review of the first mission ever will be out some time this week. I will post directly onto the Board, and then copy what I put there on my wiki journal. After that, I will try to review every mission or story in relation to when it was released. The wiki is going to be a valuable resource indeed.

Let the celebrations begin.

Frodo and Sam, Jay and Acacia, and everyone else out there being awesome. {= )
