Me.
Dropping in to say hi, I'm not actually dead, just trampling through the first days of college. Thought I'd drop by to say hi and ask hS when the next Badfic Game is happening (please tell me you haven't already played it).
Greetings from Wellesley College, guys! -

But no fanfare. No-one ever gives me a fanfare.
Anyway, hi! Welcome back. The Badfic Game is planned for this month, but probably closer to the end than the beginning. I'd like to give fanficWorld a makeover before I start it, and get familiar with the coding again - but unfortunately, my work computer refuses to show the Javascript it runs on. That means I can only muck about with it from home, so it takes longer than I'd like (particularly since we're in the middle of moving - home is a busy place right now).
But fear not - it is on its way. You haven't missed it.

Holy Christ crackers, I think I was close to the area! It's the Wellesley near Boston, right?
Anyways, welcome back! Does this mean we can look forward to more Multiverse Monitor Redux? -
The very same! by

If you ever find yourself in that neck of the woods again you should tell me and we can have a mini-Gathering or something. Because I've never met IRL PPCers and that makes me sad.
I'm not entirely sure right now because god damn do I have homework, but if anything newsworthy happens in-universe I'll try to take note for a future issue or two. Chances are the New MM will just be a sporadic, whenever-there's-sh!t-going-down sort of thing to kinda commemorate and try to make sense of those events. -
I'll be sure to let you know! by

I might not go back for a few years, but we'll see what happens with that, yeah?

Good to have you back for however long you happen to be back for. Repetition aside, exactly are the badfic games.

Have a... -rummages in pockets- bottle of lemming repellent for the wastes of the Circle of Lemmings!
And the Badfic Game is a game where everyone writes PPC badfic (or, as I did last time around, PPC AUs with canon characters). It's so much fun watching your Agents get mutilated out of character. Heheh. -

You shouldn't have said that.
You really shouldn't have said that.
Using her powers of deduction learned from Sherlock Homes himself, Christianne threw up a wall of pure force to blunt Eledhwen's charge.
"You cannot escape me!" Eledhwen snarled, her fangs growing longer by the second. "I am the Spider Queen of Mirkwood!"
Oh yes I can!" Christianne exclaimed. "You forget, Eledhwen - I know your secret name!"
(Will JayBird be expanding this into an epic tale of love and betrayal? If I get enough ideas, I'm sure she will)

I would never have suspected that an enhanced enough deductive capability would give someone psionic powers.
That would explain how Sherlock survived his fall from that hospital roof! A person of such high deductive power would be able to deduce exactly what size and shape of force shield to create mid-descent to cushion his fall while still making it appear that the impact was fatal, and so, protected by his forcefield, Sherlock could have picked himself up from the ground once his acquaintances were safe without even scuffing his clothes.
It's a subtle and unexpected plan, hinging entirely on mid-level psionic powers that were never exhibited before, for the simple reason that Sherlock had never needed them before. Just the sort of thing Sherlock would do.
((The Badfic Game is going to be fun.)) -

Everyone here is surprisingly welcoming and cheerful, or maybe that's just me with my first impression of college as the Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth.
Haha that being said, I'm enjoying Wellesley a lot! Everyone is so clever and have done great things. I'm still not sure how I even got in; this is Hilary Clinton's school after all. -

I took the time to look up your college, and I am not at all surprised you got in. It sounds like a perfect fit for you! What sort of classes are you taking your first semester?
Heh, OFUM is probably a bad example of ordinary college life. People tend to be very happy about leaving the nest, and it shows. Just keep your fingers crossed you didn't get a roommate that'll steal from you - my cousin got one of those, and it was horrible. o.O -

College tends to make people drop off the face of the internet for a while. Glad to see you back, though.
As for the Badfic Game, you haven't missed it, though I have no idea when it is going to be. I'm looking forward to it, as well. It's one of my favorites.

I do have to admit that had it not been for the PPC I don't think I'd be where I am today. So I have all of you to thank for that.
Oh goody. I can't wait! I don't know whether to write a PPC AU ala Science of Suedom again or to just inflict terribleness on all of you. -maniacal cackling-
