The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Ehuh, sorry. Please accept this blac-hole chocolate and my welcome.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

As your newbie gift, have a Lego Mary-Sue figure (the glitter isn't poisonous, don't worry).

Since this is the PPC, please leave your sanity at the door.

Welcome! Have a pile of differently coloured pens!

What's the fix you're working on, a PPC mission or something else? Depending on what it is I'm open to beta.

As for your newbie gift, have a test tube full of technically safe candy coated chocolates.

Thanks! Xure itll come in useful.

You're in the right place for finding betas, though I'd recommend getting to know the community a little more before you ask. I hope you stick around! Here's a Ravenclaw scarf and some popcorn to eat while you read the Original Series!

Maybe you should've bothered to read the archives first before commenting. Your comment sounds like needless dogpiling to me, esp. since you have no idea what went over and why July has this reaction to this obviously small and non-aggressive deed of Matt.

I see that my spelling for beta was accidentally changed to "bets". I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello! I am a newbie to this interesting world of the PPC, I seem to have gotten lost on my way to finding some bets readers for a fic I started to write. Maybe I am already here, or I am in the wrong place. Can someone direct me to where I can do that please?

That, there, is right brilliant!
I mean, not only is it, as a general picture, really bloody good, but it fits her perfectly. That is the exact face I'd imagine her having, and facial expression and all. Noooooice.

It fits my mental image of her perfectly! Er. In the sense that my mental image of her was girl with blonde-ish hair and muscles and pale skin. My mind is very lazy and vague with these things.
But!
But!
It still fits!

Your sister-in-law is a very good artfellow!

So my sister-in-law (she posted once under the name of Basil) is an excellent artist, and I thought I'd ask her to draw Agent Alleb for me.

I am so glad I did.



Look at her! Ah! I'm still not over how awesome she looks! Aaaah!

-Alleb, fangirling

Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!

I enjoyed it! I'm just going to have nightmares. That's all.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Since I am unfortunately not from the Forgotten Realms fandom, I gift you with my full set of Dragonlance novels (main storyline only) with limited edition urple and wilver illustrations.

And since this is the PPC, I calmly remind you to forget about that irritating thing known as sanity.

P.S. Check out the Shipfest, and maybe even participate.

Eee, another Brandon Sanderson fan! Nice to meet you! I'm Alleb, but you can call me Alleb. In the spirit of the Cosmere, I give to you a bead of lerasium. Don't pay any attention to the urple color. Have fun being Mistborn!

-Alleb

Welcome aBoard! Have this piece of a capital ship. That crashed into a planet at interplanetary speeds. It's a shapeless blob of metal. ... Yeah.

Barkbark bark! Bark bark barkbark! Woof!
(Hello there, human! I am a dawg and I like humans very much and I like newbie-humans very muchest!)

Bark bark borf borf barkbark ruff!
(Welcome to the PPC! You excited lots of other dawgs when you said 'Cosmere' but I'm a dawg and I don't even know what that means! I perceive everything as a different type and size of bone!)

Borf borf bark woof, pantpantpant, bark bark!
(My gift upon you is: a dawgbowl! So you can feed us! Please feed us!)

I'll admit, I had not given too much consideration to the whole micro-aggression thing, and I do apologise for that. I'll also admit that I, personally, don't think that listing July's name in a general, nonspecific list of women ought to be cause for alarm, but then again, harassment's not defined by me, and if July feels harassed by that, then. Well. It's harassment, innit? Or insensitive, anyhow. At least, it's got to be treated like that. So, yes, fair enough.

And I am aware that harassment is causing trouble and is a Bad Thing, I simply don't regard Matt Cipher's current actions as harassment, and I really don't think it's fair to consider them as such. I am not taking, to any large extent, his previous actions into account, and I am not attempting to compare what July is doing to what Matt has done. I don't think comparing what they've done is helpful, either. But, er, do correct me if that is absolute rubbish, on that case.

I still ultimately think that July's post could have been more mature, constructive, et al. You've posted an interpretation, but that's it - an interpretation of a million things she may have said. Assuming your interpretation is totally correct, she could have certainly phrased it in a more mature manner.

It simply doesn't strike me as entirely fair - Matt is posting something that is (supposed to be, anyhow) innocent, largely unrelated and separated from July at all (other than her name, which, as mentioned, was a woman's name on a list of women, emphasis on the woman over July,) and July's response is so very accusatory. Again - even if what he did do was cause for alarm, stepping on old wounds, insensitive, et al, I don't think she responded correctly, at all. I understand it's a sensitive area, and maybe it was an impulse action, but she still has to be held to the same standards of etiquette and such as everyone else!

Ahem. Anyhow, I do feel like I'm not nearly as well involved/researched in this entire situation as a responder ought to be, and I do feel like my first response (while I do somewhat stick to it) was far, far too impulsive. Pardon for that. I shall drop out of this once possible - I'd hate to be the cause of a big argument, especially if the argument involves two people, neither of whom seem to want to be involved in the argument at all. And I do apologise for all the impulsiveness and whatnot. I could have probably handled that a whole lot better!

I'm on the brimstone angels series. So depressing that wizards has axed the forgotten realms novel line.

Glad to have you, fellow lurker! Come on in, grab a seat by the fire, and leave your sanity at the door!

Here, take this Replica Holocron and a Mallorn tree Feather token as newbie gifts. Pardon the dust on the Holocron, I've been out of the newbie welcoming game a while.

Forgotten Realms, hmm? Any Particular novels? The only ones I really read were Year of Rogue Dragons and The Brotherhood of the Griffon, but both were excellent series. I should really finish them one of theses days...

Anyway, good to have you aBoard. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Ive already read most of that stuff on the ppc wiki. I'm just reading all the stuff in the fr biblio from candlekeep. The ebooks are available on kindle so no worries there, but i'm interested int he sourcebooks right now and dmsguild doesn't have all of them. *sigh* looks like i can't get them legit as i don't have money for shipping used hardbacks internationally. It'd be better if my hobby was crack cocaine.
I'm sure its delicious!
