Newbie with fic suggestion by

Hi. I've been reading some of your stories, and loving them. Keep up the good work. It's great to see someone standing up for good fanfic and proving that it doesn't have to be bad.
Anyway, I'm just posting to ask if you've got any agents who deal with fics in comic strip format? There's a Great Gatsby/Harry Potter/Pirates of the Caribbean/Justin Bieber/Adolf Hitler crossover stripfic at: http://www.toondoo.com/ViewBook.toon?bookid=512921 that you might like to look into. No Sues, thank goodness, but even without them the basic setup alone is just too weird for words! -

Another comic-strip fic from ToonDoo:
http://www.toondoo.com/ViewBook.toon?bookid=299953
This one's a Pokémon fic. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Pokémon to know how badly it damages the continuum, but it's still a pretty bad fic by any standards.
Special highlights include pages 12 and 13, where all the dialogue suddenly repeats for no reason; pages 48-54 inclusive, where everyone slowly takes turns to jump across a chasm one at a time, Terry Nation-style; and pages 93 onwards, where a couple of characters are revealed to have Sue-style Deus-ex-Machina powers.
(Oh, grammar pedants should note the opening disclaimer says, "I do not not not not own Pokemon!!!!!!!!!!!" A quadruple negative technically means she does own it.) -

This time it's from The Hunger Games:

Peeta follows Katniss around saying "Hey" a lot, then he turns into a unicorn. That's literally the whole plot. -

Hello. Sorry that I can't help you, but feel free to create a profile on the Wikia and add the badfic to our List of Unclaimed Badfic. Someone might come around and claim it.
As for your newbie gift, have some plushies of High King Peter and his siblings! -

Unfortunately, I can't add anything to the Unclaimed Badfic list. It's locked to anyone who doesn't have permission to edit it.
Is that the same permission as for writing PPC stories? I've looked at that permission form, and I'm not going through all that trouble just to add a URL to a list!
Or is that a different sort of permission? And if so, what do I have to do to get it? The Newbie FAQ isn't very clear on this. In fact it doesn't mention it at all! -
Do you have an account on the wiki? by

If you do, it should allow you to edit. Note how I said should. Occasionally, I've been locked out despite being logged in, but on the whole, that's all you need to do.

If you don’t intend to vanish again after pointing us to this comic strip (you didn’t make this clear), we would like to know more about you. Frequently asked questions are:
What are your fandoms? (Some of as like to give fandom-related welcome gifts.)
How did you find us?
Did you read TOS? The Constitution? Which spin-offs? OFUs?
Do you write?
Since I don’t know what would be appropriate for you, have an arbitrary gift from the stack of random welcome gifts.
Concerning your question, I seem to remember that the possibility to do a mission in comic strips or other media has been discussed, but as far as I know nothing ever came from this.

Thanks everyone.
My main fandoms are Tolkien and Doctor Who, with a little bit of Sherlock and Narnia in there too.
I've vaguely been aware of you for years, but I only started properly reading your stuff recently following after stumbling on your entry in TV Tropes.
I've read the TOS and the Constitution (though I don't remember many details from it) and I've been dipping into other stories just on how interesting they sound, not following any spin-off in order.
I've not followed any OFUs because I'm not a big fan of school-based stories. -

Please accept this Bleeprin-laced custard pie. Judging by that fic you linked to, you need it. =]

Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here, so take your shoes off, leave your sanity at the door, and come on in!
As a welcome gift, I'll do something a bit different. I'll gift you the gift of the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uE230evv3w -

That comic is so bad, it's hilarious.
Anyway, welcome to the board and have a safely packed writer's block. I still need to figure out how to make it stable enough to use as a building material, so I wouldn't suggest opening it if you're inclined to write. -

Welcome to the boards. My gift to you is some Bleepka and a small note that reads "It's important to read the constitution and also post fics in fic threads that are still on the front page." I don't know if mediums other than text are covered.

but the rule (still more like a suggestion, though under revision) mentioned in Article 22 may not be applicable here. This appears to be a Newbie Introduction that just incidentally also links a badfic, and although the intention is not entirely clear, it’s probably a good thing that it isn’t buried in a badfic discussion thread further down the page.
