SECRET MESSAGE 9! No, Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for replying.
Lots of great suggestions for fics, thanks.

Thanks also for the recommendations for my agents.
I'll be sure to implement them tomorrow. (Unfortunately, I need sleep.)

Thanks!

SECRET MESSAGE 8 and Thanks!

The sort of thing to give you sugar poisoning.
What you clearly need is tea: Earl Grey. Hot.
Nothing like a good cuppa tea, y'see.

1) Nesh's spinoff was already mentioned, so I'll just point you toward Insanegrrl's spinoff, which I particularly like.
2) Agents... I think Tomash covered everything.
3) Didn't have any problems with Wikia (Firefox 51.0.1 on Windows 10 Home).
4) Not that I recall.
PS: Blue! No, yellow!

Actually, have a list of my favorites!

I have way too much stuff to read unless you want to spend a good chunk of the year stuck at your computer, and there's much better stuff out there to be read.

(Dangit, Tomash, you beat me to the best color.)

So, "what to read next" is a bit of a tricky question, partly because it depends on what you're interested in and partly because some folks have written a lot of good stuff, and I don't want to bury you in it. However, I can point you to a few highly-regarded spinoffs. Firstly, there's Neshomeh's missions, which you should probably go read five seconds ago (you'll also see Phobos's stuff linked there, same comment applies). After that, I'd also highly recommend scapegrace's work (Notary & Wobbles, Gabrielle & Doktor Trollenfisch), Iximaz's work (Aviator & Zeb, Ix & Charlotte), Suicide & Diocletian's missions (written by TungstenMonk). What I've read of Huinesoron's stuff is also quite good, and you may want to check it out also. (I'm personally also a fan of WarriorJoe's Fritz & Silas, but that might just be my thing for aliens)

If you want profiles etc. looked over and/or checked for reasonableness, start (or latch on to) a beta request thread, and you'll probably get at least one person willing to work with you on them. We don't usually toss around public links to that sort of thing until it's good and ready, since that basically counts as publishing it (or requesting Permission).

If you're looking to get a better feeling for your possible future agents, I think one of the best ways to do it is (if your set of available times matches someone else's, US evenings tend to be very good) to RP with them in #rudis on the Discord. Unless you're not into that sort of thing, of course. There's also trying to write a few of the Permission prompts with them.

And my favorite color is green.

Also, tell him I said thanks for running Pathfinder even in those poor conditions. Seriously, that was very cool of him.

Seriously, pure sweet chocolate death. I definitely agree on how fast they fill up. The one I had was pretty small, and way too filling. It's just so rich and wonderful.

I love how the top looks like it's just cookie, and then, beneath, there is this dark, hidden chocolate secret, deviously pretending to be your normal sweet treat.

...maybe I'm thinking about this too much.

And this is coming from a chocoholic, too.

But look at this and tell me it's not beautiful.

Before I confuse everyone, my new account in Discord is now Gensokyian-Dreamer, and my Agent has not changed, so it should be easy to find me.

Anyway, much thanks for the invite, Desdendelle.

I would undoubtedly be killed by a brookie. That stuff looks murderous.
If you dropped one off a building, it'd probably go through the core of the planet and come out the other side!

As all the best desserts should be. They look tasty!

Also, hi! I, uh, don't think I commented on your intro post. So hi! Have an urple ocarina and complimentary wilver earmuffs! Also also, what Overwatch heros do you play? I usually do Lucio or Mercy. Pharah if I'm feeling lucky.

Today, I was going grocery shopping with my father, and we happened upon these hulking beasts, called "Brookies" on the box. They're cookie bars. They're brownies. They're BOTH! They're monolithic desserts, unknowable in scale!

I only managed to eat half of the smallest in the box. It's like they fill up inside your stomach after they've been eaten.

Hi,

Finished The Original Series now.
Thanks for all the food, STEM stuff, friends, pens, music, suggestions, signs, and other digital things.
I may have spilled some of the popcorn on TOS, but I think I cleaned it all up. (There's no need to warn newbies... probably.)
Any suggestions on what to read next?

I've finished my set of agents.
These will probably not be the agents I use in the distant future, but I will post them soon so that I can get input as to how well these characters work with the PPC.
That advice will be very helpful down the road.
I'll post them as soon as I figure out how I want to post them.
Is there a preferred way to do so?

The wiki has been very helpful... and laggy.
I've had this problem with the Fandom wiki before.
The longer the tab is open, the worse it gets.
I think it even crashed Google Chrome once.
I've already found a workaround, so don't worry about me. (It works well on my phone.)
Quick Question: Has anyone else had this problem on their computer?

And now on to a more light-hearted question.
Have you ever had a work you liked that had one phrase you absolutely boggled you?
For example, I liked the episode of Samurai Jack titled "Jack vs. Mad Jack" yet I was completely boggled by the phrase "This'll be the easiest googolplex I've ever made."

As you probably noticed, I ask a lot of questions.
Here are two quotes from people I know:
"You're very curious, which is great."

"I had a lot of fun discussing our favorite _______ ..."

PS: What's your favorite color?


SECRET MESSAGE 7

... Happy Birthday!

If you're wondering what I mean by that.

Yay, we share three fandoms! (Undertale, Pokemon, and Jojo) Here's a basket of Poffins and a cover of Bonetrousle!

Congrats on finishing that thing, whatever it was. Can you tell me about it?

I have drawn your attention to problematic aspects of your interactions with the PPC community, and you have ignored me (and others) instead of responding to these concerns in a reasonable way. Your lack of significant responses has led me to provide further clarifications in the hope of reaching an understanding, which were not intended to harass you.

To go into more detail, I will summarize my views on this conversation:

- I observed that you were not behaving in an acceptable way, and that you were confused about why people were telling you this

- I wrote a post explaining what you were expected to do (especially with regards to constructive criticism and interactions with beta readers) so that you would better understand the norms of this group.

- You ignored my post and chose to shout at me instead

- I clarified my post further, telling you that promises of future reform were not enough, and that you needed to take action to repair your previous transgressions

- Instead of engaging with my points, you ignored them (again) in favor of expressing your feeling of being under attack.

- The thread fell off of the front page, so, when you made a new post, I replied to you, hoping that you would address my concerns, which you had been ignoring

- In this latest reply, you have again failed to demonstrate an understanding of what I (and others here) have a problem with, and what you need to do about it.

I hope this summary has made my perspective more understandable, and that it will help you understand why I am continuing this conversation.

As to your missions, let me be clear: they are poorly written. You are required (Constitution, Article 24) to improve them, paying attention to the constructive feedback you have received. The PPC is a community dedicated to good writing, after all. Your lack of a beta is not an excuse. Not here.

If they are "beyond your ability to fix", you have two choices. You may either retract them from continuity and abandon them, or you may gain the ability to fix them. You have already received broad concrit on your missions, which should help you improve them. I recommend that you read it calmly and carefully.

You also ought to find someone willing to work with you to improve your writing skills. (I do have to warn you that you have a reputation with some of us as a difficult author to work with, and you may need to overcome that.)

I would like to know which of these options you intend to pursue, as taking no action in the face of these requests may cause the community to consider more formal consequences or rebukes. If you do not understand any part of what you have been told or what you need to do, please let us know so that we can help you participate in the PPC.

Again, my inbox is open.

It is concrit, and you are doing a sound job of deflecting it and brushing it off. A lack of betas is not an excuse for writing bad fanfiction, and it's not an excuse for writing bad PPC stories, either.

From the Wiki: "We take pride in the fact that our stories are well-written. If someone asks for permission to PPC, and that person's post is riddled with bad spelling, grammar, and logic, permission will not be granted. What right do we have to mock people's stories if our own writings are just as bad?"

You were given Permission because a PG thought you could contribute to the community. Don't continue to prove that trust was misplaced.

Eh? Eh? Guys... am I right?

Thank you, Barb!

Anyway, a bunch o' Conga Rats for you, mate!

Welcome, welcome! Make yourself comfortable. Actually, I got for you this... waaait... I know!

ZA WARUDO! Toki yo tomare!

KURAE!
