That you're the person to ask questions about regarding the permissions process, since you pretty much single-handedly revamped it quite recently. If nothing else, it'll be fresh in your mind. =]
Hi everyone. I'm a newbie, and I just really want to get involved. I've been reading the wiki, and i'm super exited to learn that this all exists. I've just recently enetred the world of fanfic. So, I'm just wondering if soemone could show me the ropes:)Glad to be here
Sorry I didn't welcome you earlier; I kind of got grounded. ^_^'
Anyway, have a mooing kitty!
All thses lovely people welcoming me:) I shall name the kitty Sir Sedgewick the 3rd
As has been mentioned before, you really should take the time to go over the Constitution and read the Original Series, as well as take a look at the Wiki. The links to those three sites are at the top of the Board's main page.
So, how did you run across the PPC, anyway?
As for your newbie gift: have a snowglobe with a duplicate of your favorite fictional locate in it!
Welcome to the PPC! Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. :)
Please find enclosed one trio of purple socks, a lemon square, and the solar chip from a solar calculator.
Thank you! Natrually, the first order of buisness is eating the lemon sqaure
Otherwise if you let them sit too long, they start to taste like aluminum cans. :D
So you must eat swiftly!
Nice to meet you! Please accept my gifts of a potato cannon, a basket of golden potatoes, and an Official Fanfiction University of Doctor Who sweatshirt.
I see you like BBC Sherlock. Have you seen Season/Series 3?
immmediantly shoots hole in wall with potato cannon*
thansk for the nifty gifts!
(And yes, I have indeed seen series 3:)
Hi! Please accept the gifts of a Bleeprin-laced custard pie and a collapsible unicycle! It's a thing we do round here, much like scream incessant rage at an uncaring void. But we have fun doing it so that's A-okay!
In regards to showing you the ropes, I'd recommend looking through the Original Series and, shortly thereafter, some of the fiction we wrote that came afterwards. Anything by Nesh is good for that. Also, if you want a beta for your fanfic, just ask around the board. =]
I realise this may have been answered by other Boarders in the time I was asleep, but I don't feel like deleting the contents of this post. Welcome!
Thanks so much:) I've been reading through the original series, so I'm beggining to get a feel for how it all works. (One question, do I create an agent, or do I just post messgaes as myself?)

One more thing to notice is that your posts do not contain SPaG errors - after all, since we critique people's works' SPaG we can't allow ourselves to make mistakes.
Fortunately, the PPC has an active beta circuit, and it is more likely than not that you can find a beta here for most things you'd write, including things in (very) obscure fandoms - I'm a fan of The Culture, Herr Wozzeck knows operas well IIRC, et cetera.
1) Design your agent. Actually writing for your agent will come later, but it's best to have them living in your head for a while before asking for permission to write a PPC story. Spoiler warning: you won't get until you've been hanging around here for a while; this song accurately describes my feelings towards the process. =]
1a) Just remember: a Boarder is someone who posts on the Board, while an agent is someone written by a Boarder. An agent can be very similar to you, but you are not an agent.
2) Hang around here and ingratiate yourself/selves (around these parts gender is not only non-binary, but also non-Euclidean) with the rest of us. We're mostly harmless. Mostly. I'd watch that Huinesoron, though. Chap's trouble.
3) Repeat #2 constantly.
4) Go through the permissions process. Huinesoron will guide you through it. I'd avoid the self-check, though. It may eat your soul. I mean, I did it and I think I'm okay, but sometimes my skin oozes small black dots that fly up into the sky like the dreams of dying men, but that might just be eczema.
Gender is too binary! There are 0 genders. Or maybe 1. Or 10? 11? 100? Oh, I don't know, I lose count.
Alternate answer: no, gender is trinary: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Provided you speak German. Which most of us don't. So... around here, there is no gender, because we speak English? (How interesting! Basque apparently has two genders, animate and inanimate)
(Also, I'm guiding who through the what now?)

Most of what I actually hear during the broadcasts is white noise and a peal of bells from an unearthly church.
-Points silently to the holy trinity of Constitution, Original Series and Wiki-
