The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

(Fun enough to distract me from actually starting work this morning... ^_~)

I liked it a lot, partly because the inspirations and resonances were all well within my wheelhouse. A little bit Pratchett, a little bit Jurisfiction, a touch of Doctor Who, and of course the PPC its own self.

(Typo-wise, two that might or might not be deliberate: you have "corpse de ballet", which I remember Pterry using as a pune on "corps de ballet", and later on you have "rapported" instead of "reported".)

I don't think the Buffy parts are very spoilery beyond "these characters are around." Jacques hasn't seen the whole show yet at this time, either. ^_~ Maaaybe skip the track "I've Got a Theory" to be safe, but even the biggest spoiler there isn't much of one if you think about it.

Interestingly—Zingenmir, I don't know if I've told you this, but I should have!—the "Once More With Feeling" soundtrack was what really made me want to watch the show. I heard the soundtrack before I saw the first episode, but since I barely had any idea who was who, it was sort of impossible for it to spoil me much. It might be different for someone who's seen a good bit of it already.

Yay, counting the Res was worth it!

Agreed about future stuff slipping back in time to HQ! And, well, once we heard that song, we couldn't not use it. It's just perfect for their relationship so far. <3

Nice to hear you're appreciating the music in general, too!

I only read the TV Tropes page about it, but Emily H, The Viking Princess sounds cuss-word worthy. Actual cuss-word worthy, not creative cuss-word worthy.

Forgive me for a shorter review than usual, but uh, well. Romance and all that, not much to say on that front? And I also skipped the posts about Buffy to avoid spoilers. Sorry.

Some things I did enjoy: - the little running gags with the "J" and "J2," the "x"s towards the end, and the ever-increasing mountain of "re" in the subject lines - Jenni's list of HQ-themed come-on phrases. Both hilarious and cringey! - The 2018 video sliding back to 2013. I feel like, realistically, HQ must see a lot more future content appearing at any given moment than we're able to convey, because of the unstable time dimension and all. But alas, our writing is heavily reactionary, and it's hard to react to things we aren't aware of yet. : (

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a whole lot of song files to pirate and burn to a CD. Or rather multiple CDs, as that's quite a playlist you two threw together!

I read this a few days ago, and what I can remember thinking was that it took me a moment to work out what was going on in the beginning, but once I understood it I really liked reading all the emails and the barely-disguised flirting.

Good stuff, can't wait for part 3.

I LOVE A MINI SNEK! AND A HAT!!!!!

Grabs sword cane and runs around with it before I am stopped

AHh yes the OCs of yore. I've worked out many a personal realiziation with them. What else is rp for???? Also it's so good to see you, and congratulations!!!!!! ^_^ (oh man but it's been a millino years since I busted out that face)

I remember beta-reading your Red Dwarf mission ages ago! =]

Welcome back! Have a mini snek. They come with hats.

hello! i never imagined seeing all of these familiar names again! How have you BEEN?

this is honestly all more relevant to me than my highschool reunion

So, um: Hi! * sits awkwardly at computer wondering what else to write *

I can't remember when I was last active here (in fact, technically I don't think I have been active here - just on the old board), but I'm sure it's been at least a few years. How old is this New Board now? I'm guessing old enough that it's not referred to as the 'new board' anymore :)

It's cool to see a mix of old familiar names and brand new ones, and that this place is still going strong. Good to see you all again / for the first time (delete as appropriate).

I think the pandemic has definitely been less hard on us introverts. I'm finding the prospect of getting back out into the world and dealing with people again way more daunting than a year of staying away. ^_^;

Ooh, those books sound fun. Thanks for the recommendation!

Please feel free to plug your Real World accomplishments to us if you are comfortable doing so. We want to bask in your glory and also give you money if we can! {= D

It's definitely the most solidly world built and plotted.

We'd love to have some of the old gang along for the ride as we create new stuff.
