The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Suggestion: Angvainen for D.Va! Means "Iron-clad", which is both her job (fast-moving battleship) and a reasonable description (clad in giant robot armor).

Here, have this best hamster, a nice bit of music and an invite to the Discord channel.

I'm not sure how many people are into that particular intersection of fandoms, but I'm one of them!

Hm. I probably would have named Torbjörn Naugdur, but that's just me being silly.

I love Alassiel, and Vanyarië is a lovely name for Mei! I think my favorite is Imyasta.

How did you end up with Pityarven for D.Va? I don't see the connection, unless you've been run over by a D.Va recently?

You've got me curious now.

or possibly I should learn the meaning of patience, but who wants to do that?

Now that you mention it, Chanukah is a great PPC holiday! I'm sure it's a pretty big deal! I'm working on a Chanukah filk myself. . . I picked a weird song, though with a tune/structure which is a major headache (you'll see!), so expect to see it, er, not soon, unless I get a flash of inspiration.

There are no requirements for joining the Board, other than the Constitution stuff (basically, play nice)(oh: yes, unlike some Internet communities, we actually follow our Constitution. It's not just a formality). Once you've introduced yourself, feel free to roam about, comment in any of the threads, start a thread if you've found anything that might be of interest, hang out in the live chat -- whatever you like!

There are a lot of requirements for Permission to write PPC missions, but the most important of those is that you must first be a well-established member of the community. So don't worry about it! Just, please, get to know us, read stories, poke around on the wiki, watch a few people go through the Permission-getting process (if your brother wants to write PPC stories too, he should pick a name and do the same)(if you're having trouble with anything technical, allow me to point you to this handy FAQ).

*sings* Relax. . . take it eeee-eeeeeasyyyyy. . .

One of our customs which you will get to know very well (if you decide you like us, of course. I think we're likeable. Are we likeable?) is that of giving newbies gifts. My gift to you is. . . A giant letter C! Made of copper, enameled blue, suitable for display (if you happen to have a room with a 2,894-foot ceiling on hand).

I would also give you an invitation to the live chat, but my computer is being sloooooow and won't load it. Sorry; maybe later.

P.S. Gender -- never as obvious as one thinks.

Well I guess. A good question would be what kind of fandoms or canons do you like or know?

Kingdom of Monsters (Badfic, MLP): https://www.fimfiction.net/story/217535/kingdom-of-monsters

Welcome, o' child, to our glorious storm drain of the internet. Please, come in. Sit down. Rest your weary legs.
No, not there! That's where we keep the snakes!
No, don't sit there, that's where we keep the toxic spiders!
No, nonono! Especially don't sit there, that's where we place all of our sharp medical waste, broken glass, and radiation hazards!
You know what, don't sit. Forget that. Your legs don't seem all that weary, you'll be fine. Er. Just stand.
But not there, that's where we keep the leopards. Stand over there.

I ought to ask about your name, and such. Why'd you make your name 'The Triumverate,' if you'd like to be called Calliope? Are you sharing the account, or something like that?

Also, I'd recommend Scapegrace's stuff. It's brilliantly written, with great humour, and such. I'd agree with Ix's recommendation of Nesh's stuff. Ix, themself, does brilliant PPC writing, too.
So, er. Read that stuff, as well!

It'd be awesome to see any drawings you've done, if they're up anywhere or whatnot. And, well, you're fine with showing them.

My gift upon you is: steel-plated trousers. Er. So you can sit down.
But not there! That's where we keep the steel-piercing spikes.
Welcome!

Because I wasn't nerdy enough before.

The translations are as close as I could get to the meanings of their names; feel free to offer suggestions or corrections.

Let's get started.

Lucio: Lindërma, the music weapon--that's a more thematic translation. "Lucio" means "light," however, so also Calinarma, the weapon made from a ray of light.

Genji: Vanwaryan, the past prince. The best meaning I could get for his name was "one who used to be royalty," or "one fallen from royalty."

McCree: Maraitëo, he of grace, or he who has grace.

Fareeha (Pharah): Alassiel, daughter of joy.

Reaper: Yavion, the harvester.

Soldier 76: Ohtar Otso Enquë, Warrior Seven Six. Alternatively, Ohtarsoquë, but that's literally mashing numbers together, so that probably won't work.

Sombra: Haldië, she who is veiled in shadows.

Tracer: Sórélë, trail of flashing light.

Bastion: Métimanta, the last fortress.

Hanzo: Perefëa, half a soul.

Junkrat: Úmarro, rat of uselessness (I did my best; there's no word in Quenya for "junk." Seriously; not even anything like "waste" or "trash.")

Mei: Vanyarië, beautiful woman.

Torbjörn: Fanorco, the bearded bear.

Widowmaker: Venehtar, the husband slayer.

D.Va: Pityarven, the petty beast.

Reinhardt: Verúvië. I don't actually remember for sure what the exact translation means--I believe it's something on the order of "wise counsel," or maybe "strong decision." Both are valid translations of "Reinhardt."

Roadhog: Tëapolca, the road pig.

Zarya: Anórië, she is the sunrise.

Winston: Ondolassë, the joyful stone.

Ana: Manallë, graceful woman.

Mercy: Óravië, the merciful woman.

Symmetra: Imyasta, same parts (again, I did my best--there's no word for "symmetry," and while "same sides" would have been great, there is no word for "sides" either).

Zenyatta: Ilyata, everything (Zenyatta has no actual meaning, and his other title, Tekhartha, means "one who has reached enlightenment." That would be great, except there isn't a word for "enlightenment").

So... How'd I do? *grins hopefully*

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!

It seems like you've got a few things mixed up, so allow me to clarify: you (and your brother) aren't joining as agents, just as Boarders. If and when you get Permission, the agents you write can most certainly be partnered up. :)

Glad to hear you've read the Constitution and the Original Series; those are pretty much the only required readings around here. As for other spinoffs, might I recommend Neshomeh's?

Hopefully you decide to stick around for a bit!

Greetings again,

I have continued to read the pre-introduction reading materials and now know how much I failed at a PPC introduction. Let me fill in the blanks:

--I am currently working through the Original Series and will read the Constitution and Permission things, and I am working via the FAQ format.

--Fandoms - so many. The most prominent at the moment are Homestuck, Hetalia: Axis Powers, and Gravity Falls - but there are many more, and my brother is part of none of those. We do share some other fandoms, however, such as Harry Potter, Rise of the Guardians, and Overwatch.

--I found the PPC via TVTropes.

--The only Agents I know so far are Acacia and Jay, so they are kind of my favourites by default.

--I'm an avid reader, gamer, and daydreamer. I am also (futilely) attempting to learn how art works. Especially drawing.

Regards,
Calliope

Hello all Protectors,

I would like to join the PPC. I've arranged with my older brother (who doesn't yet have an account here) to be partners - unless this is a breach of conduct, I would love to work with him. I... don't really know what all I'm supposed to put here. Hi?

Introductions... I'm too paranoid to give you my real name - runs in the family, so my brother won't either - so call me Calliope, or C. That's one of my favourite alternates, because Calliope was the Greek muse of epic stories. I'm sixteen, female (like you couldn't already tell), and American - no, I'm not British, I was just raised by a Brit Lit teacher. I have a large number of fandoms, so I'll accept missions in many of those; speaking of, I would like to be part of the Department of Floaters, as would my brother.

If you have questions, asking is fine. I'll hear from some of you, maybe?

--Calliope

That sounds absolutely hilarious. They could trade looks, roll their eyes, look like they want to run off to chase that tasty thing that just went by, steal the Sue's food...Oh, the possibilities :D

~DF

Yeah, no, you don't get to up and declare yourself the Creator. Sheesh.

Also, "Wearwolfs." All the werewolves in this fic are gonna be regular people going around in wolf skins, aren't they? That or they're wearing very confused living wolves. {= P

I'd have to watch Junior again myself if I were going to take "Tangled," which I'm not. Despite being a crossover, I don't think that's the fic's main problem. -_-;

~Neshomeh

Britannia (Has a mature warning)- "Britannia is a country three times the size of Texas between America and England in the Atlantic. She and America were both found by Britain about the same time and have many similarities; making them best friends. However, what will happen when she starts to develop feelings for the American over the years? Pairings: America x OC Country and more throughout"

a 56 chapter hetalia fanfic(only 38 chapters towards the main mary sue the rest are for poorly defined state ocs) About an Island nation that is meant to be 3 times the size of Texas in between America and England in the ocean. When the distance between the two nations is about 4,242 mi/6826.837km. Texas's size is about 268,597 mi² or 695663.036km. So basically there is more of a chance the oc ends up connecting the two together and swallowing up a lot of the North Atlantic Islands instead of just being an Island nation.

The oc basically is a copy of Arthur in looks and Alfred in personality. But that's not even the worst. This fanfic includes things like:

-Incest between the canon Alfred(representing America) and the oc who is raised as his sibling.
-The oc takes a canon's name (Britannia is the name of England,Ireland,Wales,Scotland,and North Ireland's mother whose implied to have died)
- The oc attempting to show how morally right she is when it comes to slavery only to shove them back onto the ship with no supplies or even checking if they are okay to travel.
- cw: rape The mary sue lets Alfred get pulled away by Greece(whose reduced to two character traits) while she thinks Greece is going to rape someone. And does nothing to help her brother/guy she loves while eating cake hoping that wasn't his first time. It turns out Greece meant sleeping as in taking a nap.
- She has her people completely listen to her minus the Designated Bastards both Misogynistic and classic
- Somehow has perfect hair all the time and Emerald eyes.
- The grass in the sue nation glows.
- The mary sue enters wars her country isn't fighting and is somehow a perfect spy
- Ignores historical and canon relationships in time periods.
- Changes history only when it benefits the sue or makes the sue look good. And flat out ignores some parts.
- Claims a vote was a tie when it was said a few sentences earlier the vote was only close but not a tie. And somehow is the tie breaker despite the fact nations don't do that.
- All the ocs that are made by the creator exist to support the sue or the author's world view.
- So many canons are OOC to the point there are at least two replacements.
- The sue copies the USA government exactly for her government. Down to even using the dollar.
- mary sue claiming Nations can basically.

The secret and the Slytherin -Trapped in her time Kagome is sent to live with her father. What adventures await her in the magical school of Hogwarts? Will she be friends with the golden trio and what role does Malfoy play in the complicated life of this young miko?

Kagome is replaced. There is a mary sue house elf. And somehow Kagome,whose fully Japanese,is the daughter of Lucius whose white.
Includes:
-Kagome somehow always having known her real father was Lucius.
- Draco instantly accepting her
- A wand being made out of a demon fang being given to replacement Kagome.
- A Tattoo turns into a Demon wolf when Voldemort tries to give her the dark mark

Gasm Heard Round the World (NSFW VERY NSFW. Also pretty NSFB): HAHAHAHA okay little backstory.... Maru-sha and i have been rping as NYC and Cali for sometime, and last night's five hour convo was by far the MOST EPIC convo of all!!!
pretty much started by skyping each other while i was watching yaoi and then all hell broke loose XD
this convo had everything! lesbos, boy love, hardcore yaoi, phone sex, threesome, drinking, virgins, France..... it has everything!
so basically it's about how NYC ends up being no longer a virgin, and Cali getting everything on camera (cause she makes porn for a living XD)

Basically an rp turned into a fanfic with terrible ocs and OOC france.


- Script formatting
- An oc putting in Boku no Pico (underaged porn do not look up) willingly and liking it.
- Mary sue having phone sex with a canon after watching Boku no Pico
- Oc of Louisiana is a copy of Aph France
- Aph France is so OOC it's a replacement.
- Phrases like " stiffened Eiffel Tower" and " Hudson Bay"
- Even for Porn without a plot it's bad.

I've never actually seen Junior before, though, so if I were to tackle "Tangled", it would need to be a teamup.

One that I am claiming, however, thanks to Matt Cipher pointing it in my direction...

"The Creator

Summary:She is the creator of Vampires, Werewolves, and Shape-shifters. She is going to meet the Volturi, the Cullen's, the Denali's, and the Quileute wolves. Putting fear into the fearless Volturi and making her on rules. Bringing back someones mate and another's sister. Athanasia is powerful and a born leader... full summary inside. *The Twilight Saga belongs to Stephenie Meyer...

I don't think I need to say why this one's so terrible. Basically, this is the God of the Twilightverse. Ix and Charlotte are gonna have fun with this...

Red fic, blue fic.

I shared all this with the chat, and I thought I ought not deprive the Board. So, I recently got into Supernatural (just started season 3, no spoilers plz), and so naturally I went trolling for fanfic, like you do. I've found one quite good one and one mind-bendingly bad one, which Iximaz may or may not be claiming, I'm not sure.

Good news first:

"Bad Fairy" by vanillafluffy, rated T. Supernatural x House, M.D. x The Burning Zone
Summary: Halloween, 1989. Sam's sudden illness may have been caused by the demon John is tracking. A young doctor named House thinks otherwise. SPN House MD crossover.
Why I Like It: Young!House, baby!Winchesters, and good medical jargon. It's a fun read, and I was sad when it ended.

Now the bad news:

"Tangled" by claudia1, rated M. Supernatural x Junior
Summary: After a curse and a night of sex with his brother Dean falls pregnant. Only Sam doesn't remember that night or the curse. currently being re-written. chapters 1-18 rewritten, beta'd. Chapter seven and sixteen is new. mpreg.
Why It's Awful: Wincest and MPreg, both poorly justified; logic with holes you could drive a truck through; godawful SPaG, especially after the beta'd chapters; angsty!stereotypical-pregnant-woman!Dean and everybody else OOC, too. For instance, Dean actually tells Arbogast and Heese about the existence of the supernatural and his relationship with his brother, and they just calmly accept all of it. I think Iximaz commented at one point that Sam was so far from in character that he might as well be on the starship Enterprise with Draco from "My Immortal." Unless she was talking about John, our Designated Willfully Ignorant Bastard du fic. Either way. Oh, and a special alas and alack for poor "Booby" Singer, our Unrealistically Encouraging Pillock du fic.

So yeah, have fun with those, and of course feel free to share anything you've run across lately, good or bad. {= )

"By Corellon's bow, if I didn't know better, I would think somebody was interfering with my work!" he growls. "This is truly getting ridiculous!" He readies his bow and fires at Zombie 7 while commanding Zombie 2 to sit still and not try to defend itself while Shaban and Zombie 3 dismember it. Meanwhile, Davug grimly draws both his Longsword and his Mace and begins the messy work of returning Zombie 1 to the grave, again.

He then pulled out his mace, contemplated it for a moment, and through it at the nearest Zombie with as much force as he could muster. He then dashed towards said Zombie, willing one of his hands to sharpen before jabbing it into the Zombie's face via a Knife Hand Uppercut.

((Uriel throws his Mace at zombie, then attacks said zombie))

She launched herself at the nearest one, fists at the ready.

"Necromancer!" she bellowed, forgetting to use her 'orc' voice, "Be glad we still have need of your skills, or I'd smack you into next week!"

I'm so glad you liked it :)

I actually now have two more possibly filk-able Chanukah tunes that I (re)discovered yesterday through work, so possibly keep an eye out for more!

(But yeah, a PPC Chanukah celebration? Obviously there's stuff for kids, people probably get pretty into the candles, there's almost definitely alcohol fire those inclined to drink a bit of it, and while you *probably* won't get a mission, it definitely isn't out of the question. But, of course, just as Chanukah is a celebration of light in the darkness and the victory of few over many, so could it in the PPC be a celebration of canon within badfic and the hope that a comparatively small and overworked number of agents can make a difference against a multitude of badfic...)

Basically, this would seem to be a holiday that PPCers could connect to *very* easily, is my point. Though, now I'm thinking that Pesach/Passover's theme of 'from slavery to freedom' would feel very applicable to reformed Sues, Stus, and agents who were badficcers or Suethors (or even bit characters!) themselves...hmmmm.

Anyway. 1-2 more filks will hopefully show up from me soon.
