The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

You put that big notice up there because of me, didn't you? It's fine, it's fine.

As I said earlier, I don't know too much about The Aviator, so I figured that that post had been entirely serious and that she was just an edgy city girl with a thing for flying planes. And seducing the Doctor seemed like it might be imaginable if one was attempting to get him away from a Sue-possessed companion. Or something.

This is what happens when a newbie tries to jump in too fast and ends up wrecking everything. (Wrecking everything is a special talent of mine.)

Apologies,

I do understand what you mean by "influencing PPC canon", and I probably would have been fine with needing permission. As I said to Cat-on-the-Keyboard before I realized that I'd had a severe brain fart, even though/if I don't need permission, I'm still going to have some fun over here before I actually do the thing that I'd need permission for. (Maybe even figure out where I could put this badfic I wrote when I was 10 so someone could spork it. Haha, it's like instead of "Sign my ___!" I'm like "Spork my fic!" But anyway.)

So... This next part is directed towards everyone: has anybody checked out the author that I mentioned in my original post? Her biggest fandoms are Star Wars, Alien(s), Independence Day and Star Trek (usually a crossover of the first two.) Her lust object is C-3PO and she inserts herself quite a bit. But hopefully she'll listen to you. The main reason why I'm asking you guys to critique her is because I tried and ended up turning into a writhing ball of snark (because that's just what I usually do with IRL friends and their fics). :P

Not sure what to say here... See ya sometime soon!

(I JUST CHECKED THE WIKI AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS WRONG AND THEN I READ THIS POST AND I JUST...! Sorry, caps lock was necessary there. I know y'all have a thing about caps lock.)

Darnit! Darnit darnit darnit darnit dangit dangit dangit sch- oh right. Might be German speakers here, okay, okay...

I don't know what happened. Actually, I do. I misread stuff and remember things wrong all the time, which even led me to misgender a fictitious character and thus have the entirety of Scratch screaming at me for several hours. (Actually, that's exaggerated. But you get the point.)

Anyway, now that I'm done with my massive facedesk session, which of the three who responded to me do you think has the final say on whether I get permission or not? Since I don't know which person has the biggest authority here, I'd like someone to let me know.

And because you were curious, here's the meme: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ppc/images/d/d5/Marysuememe-1.png/revision/latest?cb=20130526044735 (Dunno how to link yet, so sorry for the mess.)

...Welp. That was quite an adventure. Hi everyone and let's hope I can get this all straight before I start up that series!

Uh, no, I'm neither Jay nor Acacia. ^^ "We" referred to the entire PPC, and specifically to the Permission Givers <a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PermissionGiver">of which I am one.

I'm curious now, can you link to an example of that meme? I think I remember Lily Winterwood making something of the sort, but if it's not that I've no idea what it is.

I think Huinesoron takes precedence here, since they (she? Or is it a joint account? Need to check the page) created the universe. But either way, even though they said I don't need permission, I'm still going to be hanging out here. (And clearing my browser history afterwards.) By the way, I came here through your "Mary Sue What I Really Do" meme, wondering what the "PPC" they referred to was. I'm glad I came. Thanks for the swirly black cloak.

But mine was also put to the grave.

And seems like both of us forgot that Monotype sn't mandatory anymore.

It was mostly a combination of looking at that post when I didn't really have the time for a full answer, and also that... well, I didn't know what else to say? What I meant was that I had understood your point about the Nameless Admin being, well, only supposed to be used when necessary and not for random edits.

It was unnecessary.

By way of explanation: coupled with Sergio's short response to my discussion of the Nameless Admin downthread, I unconsciously percieved this post as an indirect attack. I tried to express my discontent in a humorous manner, which ended up as sarcasm.

I have previously been attacked by at least two former PPCers for using sarcasm on the Board, despite my personal feeling that sarcasm is quite in keeping with the feel of the PPC. Thus, this second post was written with my hackles thoroughly raised.

I'm sorry.

What I meant was: as a community of readers who are good at reading the context of things, I feel that we don't need an explicit statement that the thread in which I say my agents go around mostly-naked because it's hott... is an April Fool's Day thread. Particularly since a) it's stacked on top of two even more obvious AFD threads, b) it starts with a post about an agent seducing the Doctor, and c) it already has a note from Sergio Turbo saying the exact same thing.

You are hereby challenged to a duel between our good selves, as proxied by half a dozen captive animals whom will beat each other up with fire and lasers for our collective amusement. =]

hello kettle you are looking very black today

Nevermind my rubbish - I'd say hS' properly covered all that. Couple things I didn't account for, there.

Pardon me!

It would be far, far beyond reasonable for us to say that anyone who set their writing in the same multiverse as the PPC needed Permission from us. The OFUs are all in that multiverse, for instance, but we don't try to control those.

As for the joint mission: there is a long tradition that you don't need Permission if you're cowriting with someone who does (since they can 'keep you in line' as it were). So that shouldn't be a problem.

And here I thought we were a community of readers who could interpret from context.

To be specific, it's about adding to the canon, y'know? So even if you aren't writing agents, and it's not technically a PPC story, and they're just sort've affiliated and influenced by the PPC, it still needs permissions, y'know? Influences PPC canon and whatnot.

I mean, the concept you got, in itself, certainly seems interesting - even separated from sort've PPC stuff. Be interesting to read, either way!

It is a shame you can't join. Newbies are great little chaps, all shiny and whatnot! Always nice getting new people, and all.

We were RPing as the Mirror-Multiverse version of the PPC.

--Key hopes this clears up the confusion

I think it's pretty clear-cut: you're going to need Permission if you want to do this. And to get Permission, you're going to have to join (introduce yourself, hang around, etc.) -- so, welcome aBoard! Have a dramatic swirly black cloak that will allow you to demonstrate how eeeeeevil you are. Or you can just have fun twirling in it.
