Subject: "Cool?"

No, not cool. Cool is for the fan favorite characters that frequently reign in the top 10 of a poll. I am afraid I am not cool, for my blood runs too hot to be contained!
Think "Dynasty Warriors", if the characters were complete dorks.
I guess I'll just leave this here.
My username is lovinglydull, but you may call me Dull, Lovingly, That Guy, or whatever strikes your fancy, really. I'm a high school graduate, interested in both writing and voice acting and none too successful in either.
I've gone through a wide variety of works, from Odin Sphere to Killer 7 to A Song of Ice and Fire, and I haven't actually run into many fanworks that rubbed me the wrong way... mostly because a lot of my favorite fandoms are long-dead, and were even obscure at their inception.
Bah, I'm rambling. A pleasure to meet you all. May Xom gift you a swarm of butterflies, as opposed to a swarm of tentacled horrors.
Hi, have some fudge!
Welcome! I see that you've already mentioned which fandoms you like, so that's one question out of the way.
Two others:
1)How did you run across the PPC?
2) Have you read the Constitution and the Original Series?
As for your newbie gift...
*rummages through bag of holding*
Here, have a snowglobe depicting your favorite fictional city!
(I should figure out who originated that idea.)
P.S.: Please allow me to ask: why call yourself "lovinglydull"?
Alright, always wanted a scale model of Vaes Dothrak! It even has the ashes of foreign enemies falling upon it.
As for why I call myself that, it started when I decided to shed off an earlier moniker I had and start fresh on the internet, after a string of poor decisions and bad writing. I thought, "What traits embody me the most? Well... I guess I'm kind of nice. And kind of boring. Sure, let's go with that."
Not a terribly great moniker, or a terribly great reason, but it stuck.
Thanks for answering my question, but you happened to answer the question in the P.S. and completely missed the two questions in the main text!
1: I ran across the PPC around 2009, during a crawl of the TVTropes Wiki. I thought the idea was interesting, but never actually joined up, and gradually forgot its existence until, oh... a week ago. I have been lurking up until this point.
2: I have read and fully understand the Constitution, however, I am only 2/5 through the Original Series. 'Tis slow-going.
Have a bar of Bleepolate. No, take two. Wait, one more.
*dumps truckload of Bleepolate onto lovinglydull*
Here you go! Welcome!

You may have a pen, and a red pen, and a half-stack of post-its, and a tennis ball. Oh, and a piece of chocolate.
This generically colored pen provides a striking contrast to this more clearly defined red pen. Both will be great additions to my desk.
And this tennis ball will be especially useful for keeping people out of my office.
My thanks to you.
Is probably either black or blue. Probably. :D
One moment, it has black ink. The next, blue. On occasions, it spurts variable colors, such as urple, blue-yellow, and octarine. Use with caution.
The Urple ink has been known to be so ugly that it gives agents headaches.
I won't even go into the fact that you can't even see the octarine ink all the time...
I am 99Hedgehog, but call me 99. Have a pair of Lighting Claws!

The Emperor Protects!
My thanks to you, brother! With this, I shall go forth and claim the battlefield in the Emperor's name!
For my own part, I will repay your kindness with another great artifact. A Thunder Hammer that has taken down many foes.

Raise the flag high. Let victory reign this day.
Hello, Hola, Kamusta, Bonjour, and welcome to the PPC! Let me give you some Bleep-blaps, this stuffed herring, a sack full of adamantium power doorknobs, and this soulless teddy bear.
I can freshen my breath, have some fish, threaten trespassers, cower in the corner, and give myself retrograde amnesia at the same time! This is shaping up to be an eventful week.
You seem cool already. :)
Greetings and welcome to the PPC! Since you've already said which fandoms you like, I'll skip that in favor of giving you a fluffy velociraptor as a present.
Have fun!
Velociraptors are the best gift one could get, especially when they aren't confused with Deinonychus.
Hello and greetings!
Here, have a lined Infinite Notebook, featuring urple covers and wilver binding. Just don't look at it straight on.

As long as this strangely colored Book of Sand doesn't become sentient and evil, I am okay with this. Many thanks!
