The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

What was it about this fic that made you think it would be a good option? That's not intended as a criticism, but an honest question. It can be easier to help you find what you're looking for if we know what kind of qualities you're seeking out.

Scrolling the Unclaimed Badfic list can be a good way to find something that qualifies, though it only tends to turn up results from PPC-popular fandoms. If you want to find a fandom that tends to be missioned less, you might be out of luck. The other thing I'd recommend is, if you're just browsing FF.net, putting a filter on the length. Anything shorter than 1000 words probably won't have enough content to actually spork, and even that's pushing it, whereas anything too long could be unwieldy. And in general, try to pick one that seems like an opportunity for writing humorous scenes for your agents. You can find the worst fanfiction ever, but if you can't turn it into something entertaining, then it's not a good choice for a mission.

I'm having trouble finding good stories to mission, and I thought that this one was good.

Or at least point out the SPaG that I missed?

I used your feedback and waited about six weeks for you to respond. How long should I have waited? I did forget about the second beta if you told me to do that.

Sleep well.

The 'verse has horses, after all.

Out of curiosity (and totally not related to my latest mission, nope not at all), is there anyone around here who knows how to say "Who's a good boy" and "Yes you are!" in Greek? I normally use Google Translate to help me out with this kind of thing, but it isn't reliable most of the time. ^^;

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it! And as for context... well, you get none until I post my next mission. ;)

-PPC knowledge is lacking. DoSAT has no RCs and its technicians usually don't go on missions.
-What is a Diplomancer and why is Trevor one?
-Personality section is too short and also lacking. "Normal and gets well along with some people" feels like a cardboard cutout than an interesting character.
-Having to read a wiki article and still not understand a third of the words you've used in the profile is bad. Assume that the Permission Giver reading your request (and the people reading your spinoff) don't know an awful lot about the canon at hand.
-Having your agent actually affect the canon (and not come from a fanfic) makes him a bit too Suvian for comfort.

I think you're doing this wrong, and I think I have an exercise that can help you: instead of making an agent from Terraria, try — as an exercise, you don't have to use the resultant character in anything — to make an agent from World One, who arrived in the PPC via a generic plothole. I think this will force you to think about what makes them an interesting character instead of their powers or canon of origin or whatnot.

... you know, we could easily do a script, and we've had a lot of luck with people doing voices before, so all it needs is some form of ultra-simple 'paper cutout' animation and NO NO BAD ELF STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

hS, going back to 'sad'.

And if she goes there, Hieronymus goes too.

So, how are we going to do this?

for a second there, I thought there was a bloody Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth movie.
Now that's an idea I'd be willing to risk legal problems over.

Corolla's going to be there for sure, and since I recently claimed Sergio and Nikki are temporarily back as contractors... why not?

Name: Trevor Australis.
Species: Human male.
Home Continuum: Terraria.
Age: 30.
RC#: 420.

Appearance: Trevor usually wears a white trench coat, a grey undershirt, grey pants, white shoes, and a pair of blue headphones with white decorations. He is slightly dark-skinned, has black hair, and has brown-ish eyes. He is fairly tall.

Powers: He is the Terraria equivalent of a Diplomancer (a wizard that has diplomacy-related powers).

Personality: Pretty normal. He gets along well with some people, and that's partly because of his diplomancy. He's dedicated to his job at the DoSAT.

History: First, you're going to have to read some of this: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Terraria_Wiki

The Martians' attack on Terraria brought the people there the Internet. The people were amazed by it. Soon Terraria's technology improved at an alarming rate.

Then they discovered the fandoms. What happened was a mirror of what happened on the Real World when the idea of fandoms was introduced. So some scientists decided to build a portal to the multiverse. Trevor was one of them.

But they didn't have enough materials. Well, until the Moon Lord died. Luminite and Celestial Fragments were surprisingly good catalysts for multidimensional travel.

Cue the official opening of the Terrarian Multiversal Portal. The people went in, and were extremely amazed. But with fandoms, came badfic. And with badfic, came Sues.

But with Sues, came the PPC. The people knew the PPC were heroes. Especially Trevor.

A few months later, he asked permission to the scientists to join the PPC. They said yes, because there was nothing to worry about in their continuum.

Then Trevor configured the portal to HQ. He went in, knowing that he'd already left a legacy on his home continuum. He knew that his work was done there, and the PPC would be a bigger challenge.

After he went in, the portal closed.

Trevor and the other scientists were to be remembered as great people by Terraria's inhabitants.

"There were some troubles resurrecting him for this University. We accidentally mixed some.. umm.. rocks into the remains, and he became a wall."

Doesn't the W-K explode in the movie? It sounds like Miss Cam's team literally collected up the bits of him and put them back together (badly).

The Nazgul would have a field day, picking their horses from a PPC-styled exorcism.

I will not design Pony Mortic, I will not design Pony Mortic...

hS

I've tried to keep Mort to a minimum, for what it's worth.

I remember the Alumia/Woodsprite exorcism was a nightmare to pull off, and I was only trying to get everyone mentioned. Having actual interaction with all of them is... yeah. Better you than me? ;)

But unfortunately, I got no permission.

Now, at the end of Author's lifelong travels,
She found herself deep within the writhing words,
There's metaphor and simile to soon unravel.

With plotlines soaring high ahead like calling birds,
She laughed aloud to see this, such a sight,
The final chapter of a story so absurd.

And coming through the words like gentle night,
The characters advanced, much like the plot,
Gazed at their creator, and she at them with fright.

They struck, and although valiantly she fought,
The characters seemed to take it all in stride,
And all her writing skill had come to naught.

And then there was nowhere left to hide,
The Author tied on the ground with rope and twine,
Gazed at her creations, simply horrified.

"You thought you could keep us all in line,"
said one, and at her back he nudged.
"Now we judge you. The pleasure will be mine."

The Author rose up, and forwards silent trudged,
Prepared to have her writing sins be judged.

(I have never written in terza rima before, nor am I anything resembling a poet. All i know is that by this point, I should think my characters are about ready to kill me because of what I've done to them)

(wow this is pretentious)

If your friends say your Patronus is a corgi, that's probably a better guess than the quiz will give you. I know for a fact that mine would not be a Scops Owl, whatever the quiz thinks.

Gryffindor, aye? Nice. I'm a Hufflepuff myself, though Pottermore seems convinced I'm a Slytherin (hence my distrust of its quizzes).

I reserve the right to edit what's written for the sake of pacing and flow. It's already starting to get a bit cluttered as is.
