The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Honestly, my biggest worry about this was that we didn't convey well enough that this is not supposed to be considered healthy by any means. I'm glad that doesn't seem to be the case.

I can at least say things are slowly getting better for the Aviator, just with the occasional downward spike. Will she get better with the Detective, though...? Unlikely. ;)

And then we're taking over Mos Eisley!

But these are werewolves. They can smell you from across the castle. They can even follow the trail of your scent in the air.

You should make it to the ground. You can probably get over the wall. I doubt you'll get very far beyond it before you hear a growl behind you.

What do you do?
-Run.
-Fight.
-Plead.
-Scream.

A dictator has been overthrown, or at least turned to more interesting pursuits. The iron fist of the Empire has opened to grasp a brush. A new age of enlightenment has dawned.

All that's left is for you to make your own long-term plans.

Where do you go from here?
-Wander the galaxy, finding Force sensitives and driving them artistically insane so they join the Gallery.
-Become an artist in your own right, using the Force in little ways to create microsculptures.
-Figure out a way to imbue your essence into a sculpture, and return to life as a planetary-scale being.
-Go seek out other Force ghosts and form a band.

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

Comedic look at university life with superheroes in it / Relatively dark take on superheroes who mostly go to university.

AKA what would happen if characters from your original fic and mine met.

Out the window we go! But first, I create a facsimile of myself in the bed, and turn off the lights, so if they look in they'll think I'm asleep. I ain't gettin' eaten today!

And I've been separated from the Jedi. Help!

I guess it beats alcoholism as a copeout mechanism? And deep down I hope something ... well not bad comes out of that. They really need it.

Cannot really say more to this. The story shows clearly how broken they are. Hope is pretty much last thing left about them. Congrats for the emotions.

Given that you're on a shipfull of Jedi, you're almost certainly in the New Republic era of the Legends version of the galaxy. That means you're somewhere between 13 and 28 years after the Battle of Yavin, and that Luke Skywalker is the leader of the Jedi Order.

((Any earlier, and there wouldn't be enough Jedi to fill a ship. Any later, and the Republic has become the Galactic Alliance.))

Given your news of Tython, you'll probably be taken to wherever he is - and given his mild obsession with anything historical, he'll probably hop on board and lead you straight there.

The voyage to Tython is a difficult one - the hyperlanes leading to it shift regularly, so only a skilled Force-sensitive pilot can hope to get you there. Luckily, you have at least one of those on board - but will it be enough?

Where do you end up?
-In a stable orbit around the planet Tython.
-Crashing on the planet Tython.
-At an ominous-looking planet named Byss.
-Plunging into a giant black hole.

((Or anywhere else in the Deep Core. ~hS))

They probably just have lots of rooms set up for people of different sizes. I'd imagine werewolves are excellent at estimating the nutritional value of- sorry, never mind me.

Anyway! Sooner or later, I have no doubt, you're going to be invited downstairs for supper. They probably don't intend to eat you - you're a guest, after all, and it would be rude. But even so, you should make a decision:

What will you do next?
-Wait to be taken to supper.
-Climb out of the window.
-Attack whoever comes in to get you.
-Lock yourself in the room.

((I admit I'm having trouble finding anything to do here...))

I have no problem with someone(s) else taking the idea and running with it, though it might be sensible to wait a while before doing so. Three caveats, however:

1/ Please make it canons most people have a passing familiarity with. Giving people the choice of your three favourite obscure fandoms will make for a very quiet thread and/or most people in it not knowing what you're on about.

2/ It would be... pretty spectacularly rude to take my idea and play it on the Discord channel, where I don't go. Obviously I can't stop anyone, but, yeah, that would suck for me.

3/ This is actually really draining (though fun!), especially if you let multiple chains run at once. Look at how many posts I've made in the last week, hopping between five different storylines. Just... don't bite off more than you can chew. Make sure you can finish what you start.

I'm pretty sure they did something similar on the IRC, and it was a disaster. ;) Basically because it was an exclusive secret clubhouse used for insulting people behind their backs.

Now, I'm perfectly happy to watch the idea of a PPC chatroom collapse for, what, the fourth time? But in the interests of fairness, I present two questions for your consideration:

1/ How are you going to keep your roomful of 'people with power + people they like' from turning into a place to insult people they don't like?

2/ How are you going to reassure the people who aren't allowed in, that it hasn't turned into the above?

It has come to my attention that I have been acting very impulsively and taking on more commitments than I can maintain, to the point where it is adversely affecting my basic functioning. I don't know if I can bring myself to take a break from the PPC entirely, but I certainly shouldn't get involved with anything major, have ideas, etc. Sorry for wasting time and Board space.

Thank you! Lemme' just eat that right up.

Thanks, might last me a couple minutes :)
And I'll get right on reading those. I always appreciate recs.

I and the other moderators for the Discord live chat would like the community's permission to use a channel exclusive to the moderators to discuss various issues which come up in the business of moderation. The benefits of this: no more having to constantly PM each other, which besides being convenient for us means that more mods will get a say on each issue, and that the records of complex mod decisions will all be in one place, which could make reviewing accusations of misconduct easier. The downsides of this: it sort of. . . might. . . look like we're setting up an exclusive secret clubhouse. That's not our intention, which is one reason we wanted to take this to the Board: to clear the air.

This downside may not look like much of a big deal, but it gets a bit knottier. Many of us mods haven't been in the PPC very long, so some of us would like to include some non-mod oldbies in the discussion to provide advice, historical knowledge, and "oversight." Some people who can look at our conversations and go, "whoa, whoa, we tried that back on IRC and it was a disaster, slow down." Doctorlit and Maslab have been popular requests. What do you guys think of that? Is it fine for us to just invite people as we see fit? Or should we create a special "advisor" role without mod powers but with access to our channel, and assign the role based on vote? Or are you against the whole idea?

Allo!

Allo allo allo!

Welcome, my friend. My gift upon you is: an entire cow, as a meal or a snack, depending on your size, metabolism, and general tastes.

I bloody love Laburnum and Foxglove's stuff. Ever read Nesh?
You should read Nesh. Nesh's spinoff is brilliant.
I'll also recommend Trojie and Pads.

Welcome!

Thank ya'll very much... now to utilize a complicated mirror setup for infinite blood lasers!

Hmmm... haven't done as much as you'd think, (It's been pretty on and off) butfor starters, I find myself rereading Laburnum's works a fair bit.

Have a Cloak Which Billows in Dramatic Gusts of Wind (wind included).

Since I assume that as a lurker you've done all the required and recommended reading, and then some. . . what are your favorite spinoffs?

YAAAAAAAAAY! PAGEANT BOY CROWNS FOR EVERYONE! YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE GRAND SUPREME! =]

Would it be acceptable for me to set up shop as Mysterious Voice Mark Two? I adore the concept, and it's left me brimful of inspiration for ways I could chaperone a player through Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse or a Shakespeare mish-mash (oh, Shakespeare isn't a fandom? I and my lovingly-crafted slashfic beg to differ). But I also feel like it would be rude to muscle in on your great idea. . . or at least, I'm worried that if we start adding even more subthreads we might clutter up the Board.

Thoughts? May I go ahead? Should I leave it to the creator and master? Should I go ahead, but take it to T-Board or one of the Discord RP channels, or someplace like that?

--Key is feeling cReAtiVe (it's her favorite idea)

Jesa: Here, have this Brimstone!
Side effects may include horns, blood lasers, and a serious tan!

Waltz: And from me.... well, here's a nice set of four mirrors.
