The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

If I was concerned about the PPC wiki causing harassment, I wouldn't go "as long as I'm not personally responsible it's fine", I'd want it fixed across the board. That's why we no longer have Araeph's angry rant as a FAQ, for instance - because people who didn't write it looked at it and said "that's a problem, let's fix it".

(I do not see this as a risk, because: harassment by who, and why can't they use Google?)

As in mission writers can include links if they want to.

For the record, I don't share it, myself. The killed badfic list has been around for ages without, as far as I know, becoming a hit list for trolls. I don't see why that would change now.

Anyway, if I thought PPC activity actually incited harassment against fic authors, I'd stop writing missions, never mind keeping a record of which fics have already been missioned.

The films, at least, showed Lucius Malfoy at the match, so I thought it was only fair to let Lily go to a match or two as well. Lily was at the Gryffindor-Slytherin match last year, too, remember? She yelled at Lockhart for de-boning Harry.

(Really, I just think the students' families should have a little more involvement in things, which includes things like attending Quidditch matches!)

I've actually plotted out Sev's radicalisation and deradicalisation. Idk how much will end up on the page, but I know why she went full darkside and how she got out. So... yeah!

Actually, the PPC version also suffered an extinguishing of his cultivation sect. It's how he got to HQ, too--the "portal array" that sent him to HQ was meant to evacuate him. Something something there's a backstory interlude that I haven't finished yet...

Yeah, Draco's still a little shit and hasn't quite warmed up to respecting Ron just yet (lots of bad blood between their families, his snotty classism, etc). He will kick the "calling Ron Weasel" habit! But not this year :P I think Harry's doing what he does with Aunt Sev and just ignoring the insults to try and focus on other things, but the "why doesn't Draco accept Ron" thing will come up eventually, promise.

Gotcha! Thank you for catching that. And thanks for reading!

From what I read, stock Hayabusas do the quarter mile in just under 10 seconds (9.9 or so) reaching exactly 150 MPH. That's insane, and I'm starting to suspect the Firebolt is pretty much the Wizarding World equivalent of that.

Except that instead of on a bike, which is scary enough, you're on a glorified wooden stick. Jeez.

Oh, hey, nice to see family attending the school Quidditch matches! I can’t recall if that was allowed in canon, but I don’t remember parents ever attending . . . maybe it just never came up, since the narrative “followed” Harry, and he didn’t have anyone to attend. Then again, he probably would have noticed Molly and Arthur if they showed up, so . . . I’m rambling, but yeah, nice to see family show up for Hogwarts games!

Gosh, Prince still helped attack the Potters in this timeline? I was really starting to think she had been an ally to at least Lily all along . . . well, I’m glad she made the right decision in the end, and spared Harry . . .

Oh. Oh my, yes, I do think Scabbers needs to see a vet, yes. Better get a temperature on him. Shame about rats’ teeth, makes it so difficult to get that from the mouth end . . .

Oh, wow. The Chinese wizarding community certainly had an awful time there . . . poor Liu. I’m glad the PPC version lived in the wrong time period to go through that.

I love how you’re slowly building up the relationship between Harry and Draco, while still keeping them recognizably themselves. At a glance, it looks like they’re still antagonistic towards each other, but they’re definitely getting more comfortable with each other, and more willing to speak honestly when it matters. I do feel like Harry is being a bit too tolerant when Draco calls Ron “Weasel,” and some of his other occasional backsliding into bullying, though. I wouldn’t be able to overlook . . . ah, but then I just thought of real life examples of different friend groups I’m part of gossiping behind the other’s back, so . . . maybe it’s easier than I thought . . . It would still be nice for Draco to respect Harry’s other friends, though!

I think a word is missing from:
Mum, thought Harry desperately, as the ice crept into heart and swallowed him whole.

—doctorlit, cleaning his teeth before a dentist appointment

I think we should no longer make it a requirement, since while some people prefer complete citation, some are afraid direct links to badfics could facilitate harassment.

Or as in MST-ed?

...because he's out here undermining the status quo! Or something.

Just watched a video of someone doing 0-160mph on a Hayabusa and wow, my driving anxiety just kicked back into gear. Yeah, there's no way Lily's willingly buying Harry something like that. Luckily for Harry, Sirius is the ~fun~ godparent!

Thanks for reading!

It was sporked before. I'll spare you the details... just know it was bad enough that my body physically refused to read it after a point...

Seeing the Dafydd and Constance romance move along was nice

And it was a solid mission too

• Tonash would have more detailed thoughts if allergy season weren't happening to him right now

The one where the lads meet Steve and play Jenga: Mission #2: The Iacon Family Megatronson

Special thanks to Linstar for beta reading!

And I'm now amused by the mental image of Sirius Black breaking pickaxe after pickaxe in Minecraft trying to mine bedrock.

Excellent work as usual in weaving some of the unchangeable plot points of canon into a completely different plotline - Harry's problem with not getting a Firebolt isn't about how or cost, he's Lord Potter after all. The problem is the fact his mother isn't keen in getting a 13-years-old the broom equivalent of a supersports bike.. which I really understand, as o-150 mph in ten seconds is pretty much Suzuki Hayabusa territory.

Since it fell off the front page, etc.

Chapter Seven: Harry battles Dementors, Agent Professor Liu battles discusses his backstory.

What does it say about me that I "need a hug" because I'm a "poor little meow meow?" XD

Yeah, I'll check that out! And honestly, I was surprised to see how long this has been going on (and I mean that in the best way, love it when community stuff like this gets to last that long!)

But a gothic political drama is definitely.. unique.

There was a fic that ruin the Nightmare Before Christmas, and I'm sure you could find more examples of it. If you are curious about Toby, this explains most of what he's known for.

Even if it is a troll, West Wing fanfiction is interesting because it seems like a very bizarre, arbitrary thing to make goth... I'm sure it's explained in the fic, but I wonder what a gothic president would be like...?

There's actually quite a few of those.

I suspect that this is another alt of Toby's, based on the mention of Midnitegoff.

I've not had time to skim it much yet, but I found what appears to be a "sequel" to My Immortal. I have my doubts this is the same Tara Gilesbie, but the, er... "quality" seems to be there. If it is her, her everything deteriorated.

It's a fanfic for "Wast Win," which going off of some shared character names, I think is supposed to be The West Wing. I've never even heard of that show until now, and it seems like a wildly bizarre pick for a fic like this. Anyways, if anyone here is well versed in The West Wing, here it is, for your sporking consideration:

Leave your grammar frustrations at the door because... hoo.

Thank you, couldn't remember that. And yes, I'm well aware it's off-limits. Not that I'd even want to tackle it, even if it WAS allowed. I've read worse, but I've certainly read better too.

I can't wait to see that... speaking of, I saw a DeviantArt account supposedly belonging to the author (if the not so subtle "IM TARA GILSBIE!!!11!" was anything to go off of) that had some kind of sequel called Mordred's Lullaby... I'm gonna drop it off in Badfic reports since I don't think many other people know about it, at least going off of a lack of documentation on it anywhere that I recall.
