The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Like, how do you even have white supremacy in TouRabu, man? Article in question here, direct link to fic and a drinking game available on the page.

So, yes. This time a little quick article about the design history of the fictional car that played a big part in the last chapter, the Stormer.

With bonus download for a driveable version for BeamNG Drive. Because I totally had to make it.

(I take advantage of this to remind Huinesoron that he seems to have missed the last published chapter of World Without Authors. What is it with you, Corolla's number one fan, missing the chapters in which she's at her best? Please explain!)

There's about 20 threads on the front page of the Board, and as you've noticed by now, nothing gets bumped up when it's replied to. So every new thread pushes something else into oblivion.

You've posted four threads now in the top five, when reasonably, your two 'Touken Ranbu badfic' posts should have shared a single thread (this one as a reply to the other), and your 'I write slash' would have been perfect as a reply to your introduction thread - it's telling people about you.

The FAQ: The Board talks a bit about this in the 'Posting on the Board' section; you'll find it linked in the header.

Oops. hS means the threads you created.

I am Kittyauthor, also known as KitKat. Here, have a glass frog!

It is very nice to meet you.

What hS means is each new topic you create on the Board that aren't attached to your main topic (your intro post). Instead of hitting the green "New Post" on the main page, hS is saying reply to your own introduction.

So, instead of spawning (creating? Is creating a better word here?) new threads and driving down old one, you are adding more discussion to an already existing thread.

It's not recommended to create new threads a lot.

(Edit: Fixed autocorrect mistakes)

… for a ship that has canonical basis, I assure you, but is so rare that I nearly dominate that ship's tag on AO3.

But can you specify what you mean by these threads?

It's all felt very low-energy these past few months, so thank you. (Also, hi! I loved your intro post.)

Can I ask you, though, to read over the PPC Constitution again? These two threads would be much better combined into one (no rules against replying to yourself here), and we're child-friendly when it comes to swearing, so please try not to.

As to this complaint, I know nothing so can't really comment, except to say that 'this can't happen' is the sort of thing I take as a challenge. ;)

… Emojis can do the unmentionable now?

If I see any more shit like this and this, my forehead's gonna crack from facepalming. Sword personifications in TouRabu canon are termed touken danshi (刀剣男士), if you're gonna make a sword OC, the least thing you can do is make said OC a guy like everybody else! If you want a female OC why not just make a saniwa or otherwise human OC? If you want sword girls why not go into Tenka Hyakken instead?

TouRabu fandom has many badfic, but I've yet to see one that infuriated me as much as this one. The Sue is abusive and tyrannical and has absolutely no empathy, and that's not to mention the utter Bad History with the Sue's being the granddaughter of a historical figure that's supposes to have been dead for three centuries as of her supposed time, among other things. Prepare bite guards and helmets for the epic rage fest to come, and you may wanna read my DS sporked version to stave off the anger.

Yea i read the constitution it was funny I'm someone's brother yea something about myself... i like chocolate yea

I mean, you can have it as a present for non-christmas holidays too, but this one's pretty emphatically a christmas thing.

Every so often, someone suggests that Michael Sheen (Aziraphale from the Good Omens TV series) either should play, or actually is, Santa Claus. A jolly good laugh is had by all, but... y'know... there's this one character he played for whom delivering presents to the kiddies would be very on-brand.

And so, presented through the medium of Twitter:

"From the journal of the Principality Aziraphale, Angel of the Eastern Gate (excerpts)"

Happy christmas yule Saturnalia Hogswatch, everyone!

... unfortunately I then discovered that my telescope tripod is broken, and the telescope itself was so [UNKNOWN ERROR] that it couldn't even focus on the moon, let alone a planet.

Ah, well.

He's making a list. He's checking it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice.

And then he's carefully filing all the letters and lists and wishes and kisses into the correct boxes, each embossed with a single name. He's carrying them through the baroque corridors, into the halls where gold and marble and alabaster climb between towering shelves. The high ceiling's ancient frescoes glow jewel-bright, and through the windows the arcane light of the aurora borealis is blinding.

He's climbing the ladders, and placing each box, each report, each childhood back in its comfortable place with a father's care. He's whispering to them, words of comfort or counsel, and half a world away each child stirs in their sleep for a moment or two.

He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. And whether you are five or a hundred and five, he is so proud of how much you've grown.

Merry Christmas.

Greetings and Merry Christmas. You may remember seeing my name, a not-so-clever reference to Ki no Tsurayuki, on the wiki as someone who suggested a badfic from a fandom not yet covered by the comm – Touken Ranbu – on the claimed list. I don't know what took me so long to formally join the Board, but here I am, as a seasoned ficcer and Das Sporker, qualified JLPT N2-level Japanese user and Japanese culture enthusiast, to introduce to you all the bad, Suetastic, weeabooistic horrors I've encountered in my fandoms: major focus on Touken Ranbu and Onmyōji (2016 mobile game by NetEase Inc.), minor focus on Bungo to Alchemist.

As those familiar with Das Sporking may know, I am hardcore into tanka poetry and always sign off my DS posts with them (except tables of contents). This is how I will end this intro: with my own amateur home-spun verses.

小夜中に　薄茶と香る　花椿
真冬の雪に　にほひそめたり
Sayonaka ni　usucha to kaoru　hana tsubaki
mafuyu no yuki ni　nioi some tari
_{Camellia blossoms that smell like weak tea in the night are starting to bloom in the snow of winter.}

Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself? (Fandoms, other interests, something that's Just Neat). And have you read the Constitution, the Original Series, or any of the FAQs on the wiki?

I'm afraid I don't quite know what to make of your introduction so far, and I'm sorry if this isn't quite the response you expected.

And if you venture far enough into the stacks - far enough that wood and brass give way to brushed aluminium, and then to wrought iron and stonework - far enough that the mass of accumulated knowledge bends the fabric of reality like weights on a rubber sheet - you may find yourself in the places where past and future, fact and fiction, here and there become one. In those liminal spaces, there are three rules you must follow, if you are ever to return to the shelves you know:

1. Respect the books.

2. Follow the Dewey Decimal system.

3. If you meet a fellow traveller who offers you a banana, by all that you hold dear, say yes.

Hello peoples

boo haha I scared you

I was going to make a funny joke, was going to go back on it.

But I hit the enter button. Oops.

Now I just need someone to beta it.

I will send through Discord or email (whichever is preferred, although I might have some issue with the email side of it.)

It is an interlude, so the beta only needs to be good with SPaG and PPC knowledge (although I have been wiki diving more frequently, I'm still a bit shaky on that.) and know a little bit about the Flowers' attitudes, one in particular.
