The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Thanks!

I have noticed the smaller pool of 40k fans around here. But I've got my Discworld set close at hand, so I'll be fine.

Here, take some Klatchian Coffee. Don't worry if you don't like it: you can probably trade it off to the Astartes for *something* decent: they love the stuff.

I'd recommend the Blood Ravens if you want to try that. Some of the chapters might get... finicky about that sort of thing.

Please have this pot of black-hole coffee.

Have this replica of Midorima Shintarou's lucky pencil. Throw it if you need to answer an ABCD question and all the options look the same as the other. Good luck, nanodayo.

Welcome to the board! Have a replica of Excalibur, hopefully the replica is not as annoying as the original.

Ask whatever! (Is that correct?) I'd love to help, although if you are curious about a paricular expression it may vary a lot between countries; is there a specific "type" (from Spain, Latinamerica, or a particular country) of spanish you are learning/interested in?

Same here on being dragged to fandoms easily. It's not really that hard to catch my interest, but I think the characters make the story, so the ones that I stick to are those with well-written characters. Good world-building is a plus (and it makes my attempts at fanarts somewhat easier).

About the agents, uh, not right now. I don't think most of my OC's are agent material. I played with the idea of someone unwillingly getting dragged by a friend or someone to the PPC and being "forced" to join (more like confused to the point of accepting without really understanding what they were getting into) due to the lack of personal, and therefore very reluctantly taking on missions, mainly obliged to by their partner, but I don't know how that situation would play in the PPC or if it could happen, and I'm not thinking very seriously about it. For now, at least; I have no rush. Do you have any potential agents? Who are they? I'd love to know.

Nice to meet you too!
Diana.

We have assorted 40k fans hereabouts - I'm not the biggest fan, but I do have a trio of Imperial Navy cruisers proudly displayed on my bookshelf.

Welcome!

I just like to give people SPaGhetti as a newbie gift.

Also, we have a Discord you can join if you're so interested—just look up the Lounge on the Wiki.

The SPaGhetti is appreciated. And yes, I did read the Constitution.

I wasn't in need of extra SPaG, was I? I did proofread, but at present I'm a Dreaded Phoneposter(TM). So there's always that risk...

Welcome aBoard! Have some freshly-made SPaGhetti!

The only question I really have is: Have you taken a look at the Constitution?

Hope you like it here!

Well, I've been reading and skulking around the wiki for years, so after reading an awful lot of fanfic that inspired gag-reflexes in me recently, I figured I'd take the time to jump in here and introduce myself.

I seem to be going by Thoth around the 'net of late, so I may as well take the name here, too. Let me know if it's taken or otherwise an issue, I'll change it. Don't let me know that it's overly pretentious. I'm aware.

While I've spitballed ideas for agents with some friends, I'm not a terribly accomplished fanfic author, so that's probably not happening anytime soon.

Fandoms: mainly 40k. I am a fan of many things (I can't count the number of series I can see from here), but that's that's the only community I'm active in ATM.

I'm rather verbose (noticed yet?), technically inclined, and a sucker for moral ambiguity in fiction. I've also run out of things to say. Any questions?

*Twistey also hopes that OpinionedAngel will see your post and accept the lamp.

I don’t even read thirty-six chapters of fanfic if it hasn’t been recommended as "really good" by somebody I trust, and from what I’ve seen in the first chapter (that’s how far I read) it may not be bad enough to inspire a good assassination. But then, not every mission has to end in cathartic violence.

I’ve put it on the list of Unclaimed Badfic, so that there is a chance it might catch one of our LotR expert’s attention even when this thread has dropped off the front page.

... it appears that the Seventh GoM Player is equal to LOTR's Tenth Walker.

In many countries, sports tournaments are divided by biological sexes. There are NBA and WNBA. In Japan, the players are mostly male and females are placed as managers. I do not know if there are women basketball arena in Japan, but let's assume there is.

A pattern I see when I browse through Wattpad for KnB fanfics is that a girl is placed as the Seventh GoM and plays alongside Seirin's main team, alongside the dueterogonists. This is already breaking KnB's lore, as all the matches we see in Interhigh and Winter Cups are men's basketball.

We do see one female basketball player in canon. She is a top athlete in WNBA but retires due to injuries. She found some kids and finds a purpose in life by training the two kids she found. Their relationship to each other is like a shonen version of Scathath-Cu Chulainn-Ferdiad. No Gae Bolg and murders though, thank God.

All the other women we see in KnB are either coaches or managers. They are strong and useful in their own right. But they don't play. That is not their duty.

My point is, if you want to insert a female character into KnB AS AN ATHLETE, insert almost a hundred good female players amongst many schools. You can create your own GoMs amongst the females. Make the males your love interest(s) if you wish, but your main point is to fight for the game. Win or lose, your choice. But fight. You don't have to make three seasons worth of basketball plays, but make them play.

You can insert a female character as a manager's assistant, if you really must have her join the sport alongside the males. It won't hurt the plot a lot, the manager really does need a lot of help. And don't get too close to Kise Ryouta, he has a dimension that I think will not be healthy for a longterm relationship.

Thank you for reading my rant. I will not be sporking, I have many problems with my own fics.

Please take this Conveniently Shaped Lamp I was hiding behind my back, to match that determination of yours. Use in case of skeletons.

As for my fandoms, niche interests and the like, I tend to like a variety of series and genres, mostly sci-fi, fantasy, cyberpunk (and all those other kinds of -punk settings), urban fantasy, anime... that kind of thing.

I want to be a writer, but procrastination is a major issue for me. It's something I'm working towards...

Name: Arvinaz Perricos

Age: 14

Description: A super-awesome (and tall and muscular) Lasat force-user, but not smelly like Zeb, with a bo-rifle that has a lightsaber mode along with the blaster and quarterstaff modes. He has purple skin and green eyes, like most Lasats, but bright blue hair also. It looks boss. Arvinaz is scarred (not physically, mentally and emotionally) from the Empire's genocide of Lasan. He survived it, obviously, and is a heroic lone rebel and protector of the people (kinda like Robin Hood, except better, because Star Wars).

Lust Object: Han Solo. Totally. I mean, who doesn't have a crush on him? Also, prequel!Obi-Wan is really hot.

Light Side/Dark Side: Light Side! Though Arvinaz sometimes uses the Dark Side against the Empire because it's more powerful, but he doesn't like to do it.

In real life, Arvinaz is a very insecure teen named Julian Michaelson who writes OCs to deal with those insecurities. Julian is also a much too enthusiastic slash shipper, regardless of what Canon says about any of his ships. Prides self on knowing all the lore and nerdy bits of fandoms, but doesn't really care about actually using his information in fanfiction.

I guess I'll make a badficcer out of my friend at that age; although she does write questionablequalityfic currently, she'd probably agree that her fics back then weren't as good.

How would the in-universe application be presented? More of "yourself" or more of "yourself as a Star Wars character"? Because if it's a "yourself" thing, she probably would be honest about herself (the only questionable detail being considering herself a follower of the dark side), but if it were a "yourself as a Star Wars character", she'd basically do as you said and insert the descriptions of Teyori into her application. As the race, it would be human in both cases, albeit altered by the dark side in the latter case. So what do you think is closer to how the application would actually work?

Anyway, here's my friend as a badficcer:
Name: Avice (that is neither her name nor her Internet pseudonym, because I'm nice.)

Age: Around 11

Chosen Race: Human

Description: Avice is really really really into high fantasy, and as such, writes Star Wars like it's Dungeons and Dragons. She is guilty of coming up with suspiciously cleric-esque Jedi and new Force abilities that really don't fit the genre of sci-fi. And prophecies, musical numbers with original songs, and Mary Sues. She even invented an entirely new order of Force users! Anyway, this kid is a bit more like typical badficcers than Twizzy is.

Lust Object (if applicable): Unknown, but probably has one.

Light Side/Dark Side: Light side, duh!

Notes: The banter between Twizzy and Avice is not fanfiction-oriented like the banter between present-day Avice and I, but rather more similar to two friends who have different favorite sports teams and have banter about who's the better team. Occasionally they will engage in mock duels.

How Avice Would Create a Sona (just in case we want to combine Teyori with Twizzy):

Name: Shaiata Siraelian

Age: 20

Description: Shaiata is a Jedi Knight of great skill, perhaps surpassing Anakin in her abilities and definitely being one to discover new things the Force can do. Yoda mentored her even though he is deceased at this time, through appearing to her in her dreams (something she later learned to harness and use for communication with other Force users via meditation.) She often receives prophecies in this manner, and is destined to do half a dozen great things that bring balance to the Force yada yada. At one point in time, she had a Padawan named Teyori, who she greatly misses and wishes to guide back to the light side. She has flowing, golden blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and fair skin, and wears the traditional Jedi robe ensemble. Her lightsaber is sapphire blue. This is similar to how Teyori would have looked pre-Sithhood if Avice had had her way with writing her, but Twizzy insisted on giving Teyori a less idealized appearance by basing that appearance on herself.

Lust Object: Secretly, another Jedi.

Notes: Somehow, despite being on opposite sides of the Force, Teyori and Shaiata (like their authors) are still friends. This will probably be how it is for the rest of eternity, as both are too stubborn to listen to the other's attempts to bring them to their side.

Let me know if there's anything else you'd want to know!

Jedi slug men from the outer reaches. =]

"I can regrow hair or heal injuries, if anyone's interested," they offered, "though it's my first time using magic, so... I'm just not sure how good I'll be at it." They had miraculously escaped unscathed from the rain of molten glass, and was quite grateful for that fact. It did not look pleasant.

And, because this idea literally just came to me, how would you like an AU tweeny!fanboy!Nume to play with? He's that obnoxious spotty thirteen-year-old who can quote every obscure piece of lore to ruin everyone's day (including the canon characters, especially the reboot ones where they contradict the EU he's used to) and has absolutely zero social skills.

Goes by the name of Cuthaan Starkiller and probably fancies himself a Jedi, even though he is the worst. Don't give him any weapons if you value your life or your property wait who am I kidding this is an OFU go for it!

His fanfiction probably consists of long-winded expository whinges that completely ignore the Iceberg Principle and have little to no plot, but really just exist to show how smart he is and how much he knows about everything ever.

No admitted Lust Objects; he's too busy nitpicking everything, and also everyone has cooties. The dulcet tones of all those well-spoken British actors might make him a little bit weak in the knees, though. And, well, Han Solo. You're not human if you don't have a bit of a crush on Han Solo at some point, amirite?

I'm not too familiar with the alien races myself, but if you know of one that would enhance the image, then go for it. {= )

~Neshomeh

Name: Nicholas Buchanan

Age: 49

Race: Will stick with human.

Description: African-American, curly black hair just beginning to turn grey. About six feet. Tends to wear dark suits. Brown eyes.

Lust Object: Far too old to be thinking about that any more.

Notes: So, I'm trying something a little different here. Nicholas is a PPC agent, DIC-Sci Fi/Steampunk Division, unpartnered. I'll be needing him in a future, planned story-line, but don't really know what he's up to at the moment. His motivation for enrolling in this OFU is that: even though he watched the classic trilogy in his youth on World One, and eventually saw the prequels, his mission schedule of frequently being sent with other agent pairs into the field has prevented him from seeing the newer movies, watching through the Clone Wars materials, playing any games, or reading the various comics and novels. Finding that it's beginning to affect his work, and chafing at the fact that he needs to rely on younger colleagues for info on a canon that was part of his own childhood, he finally decided to take advantage of OFU time shenanigans to get fully caught up on Star Wars. The only thing I ask is that you don't get him romantically involved with anyone. Otherwise, I leave him to you!

Unless you don't want to deal with my weirdness, of course. Feel free to disregard this submission if you're not into the idea. :)

—doctorlit, OFUing for the first time

The Musician clapped a hand to her cheek where a burning chip of glass had torn a bloody gouge. Staring at the Wolf she raised her hand as though she was going to say something, but only blinked and blinked again before turning it into a helpless shrug.

She was, to put it politely, a mess. She had not dressed with the expectation of encountering fire, molten glass, or punch - her hair was still smoking slightly, her dress was saturated with fruit-smelling punch, and glass had burned a good dozen holes through it. Adding insult to injury, the punch had been strawberry. The Musician was allergic to strawberry.

"Just." She said. "Stop? Please? This was supposed to be a party..."

She also failed to respond to her own fiery issue. (That being her mask.) Finally deeming the door at least acceptable, she passed through it without issue.

Said door was no longer dark; it was made of some light wood or another. You wouldn't be able to tell which one without coming closer.
