Apollo and Kelly are my two tributes for this.

Now that I think about this, this'll somehow be the first canon appearance of Apollo and Kelly. I really need to finish that mission...

Storme

William Grey, VJ, Hip and Hop are all up for the game.

The agents I'll be registering are Nickul, Ajax, and Levy.

(Matthew would rather not be involved in these kinds of things, but he'll be cheering from the sidelines)

In order of preference, I'll be registering Agents Falchion, Sarah, Rayner, and Whitney. One agent for each of my RCs, and with the exception of Falc, the most experienced fighter for each of them.

Yeah... This will end well.

In order of preference, Agents Amris, Desdendelle, the Librarian and Navare are reporting for duty.

If you were around in January, you might remember we (DCCCV?) found a website that lets you simulate a Hunger Games. It caught on both here and in HQ, with two full seasons being 'broadcast':

Season 2
Season 3

Would anybody be interested in another round? To make it interesting, I've just spent a couple of days creating a completely custom arena - we're not putting them in a cheerful nature reserve this time. Muahahaha, etc.

If you want your agents to take part, go ahead and list up to four, in order of preference. (Everyone should get at least their first two; what happens after that depends on how many people want to join in.) They should be agents owned by you, and you should have Permission (since the broadcast is canon - don't worry, all the danger is holographic!). If there are free-to-use characters you'd really like to see, mention them separately; I might need them for filling gaps.

I'm hoping to run the Games much like Sergio did for Season 3 - interviews with the competitors after each day, plus commentary from the producers. Responding to interview requests isn't required, though.

Any takers?

Be sure to take this Lurker with you. His name is Brutter and he's very friendly.

Where she pulled off this.

Best quote from the internet about it: "If there is a trolling hall of fame, Talia Lavin deserves to be inducted."

And Kippur's been through a few times to talk about things they've had published, including an actual book.

Alleb is back! Alleb is back! Alleb is back! :D

Take ALL the Infinite Pizza you can get!

We got anyone else like that?
Other real famous former PPCers?

But there's one part in Slaughterhouse-Five when the main character's daughter is described as a 'bitchy flibbertigibbet.'
Now that's a name I'd love to be called.

I mean, the whole novel's fairly bizarre, so I think it fits right in, honestly. Helps get the arguable insanity and unreliability of the narrator across, too.

I was looking for a copy of Thief of Midnight for quite some time, after I fell in love with the summary, but couldn't find it anywhere.

From Mistborn, we also have "By The Lord Ruler!", but you can always swear by any noun. Examples include Calamity, The Eternal Sparks(Steelheart); Gorlog's beard, teeth, and eyebrows (Ranger's Apprentice); Tartarus (PJO), Ruin (Mistborn), and etc. I personally would use The Avatars, from Dragonfable.

Dresdenverse got Hell's bells, Star and Stones and Empty Night. And the three of them are working titles for his big apocalyptic trilogy to conclude the series.

Or you could go in crowbegotten place, aka Carna, with Codex Alera. By the Great Furies, you need to visit it.

Last good ones I remember are from te seequel books from Mistborn with Wax, with rusting wackos in the back. Rust and Ravage.

I'd say probably 'May your life be ever-interesting.' In that particular universe, 'interesting' can mean 'An Arch-Villain who has been alive for centuries and who has become increasingly insane had his minor plan to transport a flower from Point A to Point B thwarted by you, and so he has now decided to personally exact revenge.'

And it can be summed up in this one image:

In other words, fictional curses!

Fictional curses have always interested me. They add color (ha) to the universe, they can be used for emphasis without annoying me (I'm not much for actual foul language), and I can say them without feeling guilty. You white-livered sons of goats. =]

So I was wondering, what are some of your favorite fictional curses, and why? "Blood and ashes" and "Burn you!" from The Wheel of Time are my favorites, followed closely by "Storms!" and "Storming [x]!" from The Stormlight Archive, because they fit very well in their respective universes.

Feel free to email me with any and all of your ideas :)

And now I know about an author who has been a PPCer... The world just got a heck more smaller, and that's awesome.

I've been around occasionally, but I've been quite busy. So I've mostly just lurked. And that will likely continue. Very busy most days.

I must know! If not through the Board, then how?

~Neshomeh finds this hilarious and wonderful.

My comment on it to Kaitlyn was 'it's a really, really good book, provided you can get past the first three chapters'. The monster-hunters definitely have that PPCish vibe, but the real show-stealers are- oh, but that would be telling. ^_~

The God Collector... well, I always planned to write up a review of it, but the first line really tells it all: I loved everything about this book, except the protagonist. It's not that she's unlikable - I just don't understand a single one of her decisions during the first 2/3 of the book. But the book itself is brilliant.

(Fell the Angels isn't available in these parts, so no comment there.)
