Hi, Stripey, and thanks for the chunk!
I'm still trying to figure out what my field is going to be. I might have to bounce around the different departments for a while before I settle on one. Oh- you meant my grad school field? I'm going for a Master's of Social Work, with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Counseling. From what I've seen so far, counseling is going to be VERY useful for PPC agents. :)

Doo doo doo... Another one joins the board! by Silken Dawn on 2013-02-04 21:03:00 UTC Reply

Hello, everyone!

My name is Silken Dawn, but you can call me Silky. I'm a soon-to-be-grad student in the US, and I enjoy writing, good grammar, naps, and moonlit walks on the beach.
So far, I've only read the original PPC stories (the ones with Jay and Acacia), so if anyone could point me to the most important recent stories, I will devour them forthwith.
Fandoms about which I am just knowledgeable enough to critique the fanfiction:
Lord of the Rings
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Sailor Moon
Firefly
Doctor Who (the new series)
...and I recently found out that people are writing fanfiction about "Once Upon a Time," so I'll be more than happy to dissect those as well.
There are undoubtedly others, including a lot that I don't know quite as well.

Anyway, thank you for reading, and I hope to get to know all of you soon!

Welcome to the Board! A fellow Sailor Moon fan, eh?
Then for your present, here's a Glite-colored replica of Sailor Moon's tiara!

Hi, sonofheaven176! I like your name- it sounds like something my husband would choose.
Anyway, thanks for the tiara! I'll wear it with pride... once I get over the seizure-inducing color problems. :D

Nice to meet you.

I too enjoy My Little Pony, Firefly and Doctor Who (I like Lord of the Rings as well, but I'm not sure I'll ever be knowledgeable enough about it to write missions for it).

Here, take this replica of the Sword of Attila*

Yay, shared fandoms! And it does seem like there's far too much to LOTR to ever know it all even reasonably well. I haven't even read all of the books, or made it very far into The Silmarillion.
Anyway- ooh, my first sword! Shiny! You know, with this, I almost feel like I could conquer entire civilizations, despite having no martial skills whatsoever! Weird, huh? ...I'll just... keep this carefully sheathed, at least until such time as I decide to realize my goals of world domination.

Hey! My Little Pony! by hermione of vulcan on 2013-02-05 20:53:00 UTC Reply

Granted, I'm rather new to the fandom, but hey! Newness doesn't mean we don't share a fandom. I see you believe Fluttershy is best pony - honestly, I'm torn between her and Twilight.
Anyhow, I just saw the episode "Swarm of the Century", and those little parasprites were cute. Have one as a welcome present - all the locust tendencies have been genetically engineered away.

Anyway, thanks for the parasprite! I think it'll be friends with my little sock-eater... now where did that thing go?

I've been baking parkin, so have a chunk. Wrap it up well and it'll keep for a couple of weeks.
LOTR and Firefly? Shiny.

Is this a Queen fan that I see before me? by DawnFire on 2013-02-05 09:56:00 UTC Reply

Welcome! So good to meet you! I'm DawnFire, but you can probably see that from the signature and suchlike. Welcome to the Board, and have some Swiss Bleepolate--the highest grade of bleepolate, guaranteed to taste good and distract you with sugar while dulling horrific details! Also, a sonic screwdriver replica, confiscated from a Sue. It...shoots lightning, I'm afraid; you may want to be careful with the settings. It does look cool, though (blue and green streaks, with random bits of red in the mix), and it does most of the same things as the Doctor's sonic.

Hm...Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Once Upon a Time, and Queen...I think we'll get along quite well :)

Standard Question: Are you planning on writing missions, by any chance?

Here's to newbies and good grammar!

Re: Is this a Queen fan that I see before me? by Silken Dawn on 2013-02-05 14:04:00 UTC Reply

Hi, DawnFire!
I am absolutely planning on writing missions! I just have to read a few dozen... or hundred... or thousand... before I'm confident that I know what I'm doing. But having this handy Sonic Suedriver should be helpful! It must have come from a truly bad fic.
We should team up sometime, once I've lurked a bit more and gotten the all-important Permission. We two Dawns will be unstoppable! Here's to Dawns (not Breaking)!

Re: Is this a Queen fan that I see before me? by DawnFire on 2013-02-05 16:36:00 UTC Reply

I know the feeling! I must have read at least 200 PPC fics in the past month, as well as spending hours getting lost in the many wiki articles. It really does help; I think I'm nearing a sense of how to competently write missions.

Sonic Suedriver :D Nice one. I'm sure the fic was horrible. (It's also non-existent, as far as I know, but it can be one of those legendary missions in one of my agents' backstory. I am QUITE pleased to have never encountered a sonic screwdriver that shot lightning; let's hope that doesn't mean that I will sometime in the future...It did nearly become purple in reference to a purple sonic...pen, I think it was, that a character of mine used, but I refrained, since I don't think the character is *too* Sue-ish. Maybe a few Sue traits, but reasonably flawed and not interfering too much with established canon. Anyway.)

...Ok, now I'm picturing Agent Dawn ranting about the terrible DW fic where she was nearly fried by lightning from a Sonic Suedriver. I guess that'll happen at some point. Maybe it can be used in an introduction, or something?

...I am so out of it. I didn't actually notice originally that we were both Dawns--I think because you said 'Hi, I'm Silky'?--but now that I have, yes! We should definitely team up! *clinks glass* And we are *definitely* and *defiantly* not Breaking. Although I am vaguely thinking of taking on a Twilight badfic, just to see how it turns out (and to watch the agents rant, of course). Sounds like fun. BUT--we should definitely team up at some point post-Permission.

~DawnFire

Re: Is this a Queen fan that I see before me? by Silken Dawn on 2013-02-05 20:07:00 UTC Reply

It's a deal! We'll be partners in my first mission. I hope you don't mind if I bring along a cyborg. (I have a bit of backstory fleshed out. His name is Asus, and he's partially made out of Gary Stu parts.)
Hmm, Twilight badfics... I've never read or watched it (nor do I plan to), but I think I've heard enough about the series that I could reasonably take it on. The only problem for me is going to be complaining about problems with the fiction, not the canon, but as long as it massacres the English language enough, I should be able to handle it.
Anyway, alons-y!

Re: Is this a Queen fan that I see before me? by DawnFire on 2013-02-06 01:41:00 UTC Reply

Yay! It'll be fun :) And cyborgs are definitely welcome. The more the merrier!

I don't read much (or any, really) Twilight fic at all (except for parodies, which I love), but I had a phase where I liked it (lasted less than a year, thankfully. I think it even lasted less than half a year). I was never obsessed, and came to my senses fairly quickly, but I still read all of the books (except for the last bit of Breaking Dawn, I couldn't make myself--I was only reading it to know how the story ended, because my friends had requested a fanfic and I needed more information than I had...), and saw maybe half of the first movie. I do hear there's a wiki to help with details, though, so we should be alright if we decide to take one on.

And complaining about problems with the fiction and the canon is the fun part! And then--well, I seem to have this thing about embarrassing Agent Dawn--I keep coming up with ideas that bring out these little secrets from her past. It's...interesting. Especially as these are only ideas so far, since I don't have permission yet. Anyway, we'll find a terrible one, and then it's full speed ahead!

Geronimo! (since you've already used allons-y)

Sweet! I promise my cyborg will behave himself.
It really shouldn't be hard to find a truly awful Twilight fic. >:) We'll destroy it!

The...First Alliance of DawnFire and Silken Dawn by DawnFire on 2013-02-11 21:44:00 UTC Reply

And hopefully not the last!

That's nice :) I'm not sure I should make any promises about Agent Dawn, though; she's generally pretty polite, but...you never know.

You'd be surprised. I took a quick look on FFN, and while I found some very strange ones*, including a retelling of the first book (I hope it's just the first book!) with an OC replacing Bella**, they're not really amazingly bad and perfect sporking material (I think). That is, I think worse ones exist, and would make for a better mission.

But yes, once we find the badfic, its days are numbered! Up the PPC!

~DawnFire

--

*Such as magical babies that look like the Cullens appearing on their doorstep, amidst a torrent of bad grammar and limited capitalization, bearing with them a letter from an anonymous person stating that they will automatically become vampires when they turn 18, and other such nonsense. The Cullens, of course, take them in, and proceed to be pretty OOC. Which is annoying, because they're some--well, most--of the only characters that I actually *like* in Twilight.

**Almost definitely a Sue. She's just...sort of mild, at least in the first few chapters. Besides replacing Bella--well, honestly, she pretty much just changes some of her personality, if I remember correctly we get a *lot* of insight into Edward's favorite fruits (which the replacement tastes and smells like...)...Hm, I think I read rather further into this than I thought. She's also hunting down someone, and her, ahem, relationship (such as it is) with Edward progresses faster than the E/B one. Also comes complete with horribly long and frequent run-on sentences.

Glad to meet you! Good choice of fandoms, there - don't know very much about Sailor Moon, or My Little Pony, or Nu-Who for that matter (who's your favourite Doctor, out of curiosity?) but I just finished watching Firefly for the first time ever last night, so I can bounce up and down excitedly and squee about that. :P And LOTR has been my major fandom of choice for years.

Re: Welcome to the PPC. :) by Silken Dawn on 2013-02-05 13:51:00 UTC Reply

Hi there! My favorite Doctor is #10, which is probably a popular choice, but it's more because he seemed nicer than the others than anything else. Of course, all of the Doctors have a very special place in my heart.
Isn't Firefly amazing? I'm still struggling to get over the fact that they canceled it.
Thanks for the objects! See you around the board!

It was mostly accidental. I realized it sounded that way after I finished the main paragraph, then went back and added the crossed-out bit about flavor and tacked on the line at the end. ^_^;

♪Hey! I'm gonna gift you, too! Another one joins the Board!♪

Greetings, new friend! Have a miniature TARDIS! It's great for sending action figures back in time and confusing historians!

Well, now. I wouldn't presume to rank our members' stories by importance, but I can point you to some of the ones that are updated regularly and/or pertain to your fandoms!

Let's see. Pretzel just recently started adding to her spinoff again. One of her missions is in the MLP:FiMverse: http://rc-6237.livejournal.com/

Lily Winterwood has been busy with her spinoff, focused on the BBC television version of Sherlock Holmes: http://lilywinterwood.tumblr.com/tagged/ppc%3A-mission

Eileen Alphabet has an ongoing spinoff with a lot of fantasy-universe missions, handled by a pair of former diabolic creatures: http://rc170.wordpress.com/

Tomato has written missions for Firefly, Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who, so that spinoff may be just up your alley, although I don't think she's writing anymore: http://www.freewebs.com/agenttomato/index.htm

And if my eyes watering up didn't throw off my counting, we are currently up to ninety-two Lord of the Rings missions, not including the twenty-six from the original series and the fifteen missions that cover part-LotR crossovers: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/LordoftheRings#MissionsinthisContinuum

You can always check for the green "NEW!" tags on this wiki page to see what has updated recently. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/TheCompleteListofPPC_Fiction Or read some older stuff! We have plenty of free-time reading available for your enjoyment!

(Obviously, no one is expecting you to read all of these in any sort of time frame, if at all. I just wanted to provide you with some options to get started.)

Also, do you like World of Warcraft? Or perhaps the Warriors meta-series? What about anything by Tamora Pierce?

Ooh! It would be fun to do a mission where you were doing one of these things, and I got excited and wanted to tag along, and you asked if I was familiar with them, and I said yes, but I was lying, so I ended up being completely in over my head and you had to rescue me along with the fic.

Actually, something similar turned out to be my first mission. It was before I got Permission - I sent Gilbert and Fiona along on a BIONICLE mission, despite knowing as much about BIONICLE as I know about astrophysics (so, basically, the name of the fandom). It was fun and educational, and was also great agent- and mission-writing practice! If'n you'd like to do the same sometime, I have Permission now, and I'd be happy to have you tag along! :D

I'm looking forward to seeing this Once x Ponies fanfic of yours. Actually, I have a fic or two on fimfiction.net, but it's been a while, so they're pretty buried by now.
I hope we can work together on a PPC story sometime. I have a great character mostly put together already, and I think we would work very well together!

And she's even a Fluttershy fan by World_Jumper on 2013-02-05 02:49:00 UTC Reply

We might well have to get married now. Or at least work on something together. Something awesome. As for your statue's enchantment, when you carry it, you feel calm, kind, and can sooth others with some soft words. It will take a strong badfic to bring you down when you hold her. Basically, it's an aura of kindness.

My idea for the Once X Ponies is that Trixie or Chrysalis plays the role of Regina, Discord plays Rumpelstiltskin, and either Cadence and Shining Armor as Snow and Charming, or the mane six are trapped in I think high school. The Doctor would have a part in it, and they have to find their way back to Equestria. The town they are stuck in is called Humansville and they have to piece together who they are, where they are from, and how to get back. I thought out the broad idea, but I am just not sure if I'm good enough to do it right. Ah well, now that I have a system of betas, I may well get her written. We'll see.

Re: And she's even a Fluttershy fan by Silken Dawn on 2013-02-05 14:13:00 UTC Reply

Sounds good! I'd have to bump out my current husband if we were to get married, but we could just make friendship bracelets or something. Or work on something together. That would be great!
I like both of these ideas. Cadence and Shining Armor would make a perfect Snow and Charming. Chrysalis almost sounds more like Cora, what with her frequent shapeshifting. And, of course, no one else could be Discord!
Let me know if you want to work together on anything, I'm definitely down for it (once I get a few dozen more missions read and acquire the elusive Permission). ^.^
