I don't know where to write any missions at at all, since I don't know what my email thing is, and nobody at my home is giving me permission very soon.
It's okay, don't blame yourself: Me not wording things very good happens quite a bit.

I dunno, my partner has a pet snake... hopefully the snake won't find the Pidgin particularly tasty?
Oh well, I suppose I could hide the critter and haul it out if-- no, WHEN-- we get assigned an Elrond Sue. Yep, partner's an Elrond fan (to be specific, Hugo Weaving in general).

Here, have a cupcake! *hands you one*
While you're at it, have a Pidgin! they're terribly useful! They can speak a simplified linguistic mashup, which is amazingly useful when you want to... um... annoy someone?
.... Please take one, they're reproducing in my RC and even my partner's seventeen cats and my German Shepherd haven't gotten rid of them. I'd offer you two, but then you might have the same problem I am...

Ok, ok. Everyone makes mistakes. DX Now I feel like the bad guy here.
As for the badfic, I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with taking it on (with warnings for the readers, of course =P). If you really believe you can PPC it, then do it. It will certainly be...an experience.

I should've warn you, sorry about that.
Yeah, I've only remembered that I should've put NSFW, but it seems that it's NSFB as well, it seems...
Yeah, it should be a legendary badfic...

Sorry...won't let it happen again...sorry...
I tend to do things before thinking about the consequences...so yeah...
(BTW, would I be mad and suicidal if I try to kill it when I get permission, because Girl Aloud is a real-life band, or am I too newbish to take on something like this, or is it just not allowed at all to be taken on...?

NSFW, NSFB warnings by
on 2010-09-06 05:37:00 UTC

NSFW contains nudity, sex, or strong language. Smutfic is always NSFW, and a good deal of bad slash and bad het also are. NSFW is what gets you in trouble with your parents or your boss. (Conceivably.)
"NSFB" is short for "not safe for brain"; sanity-destroying material. Can be so brain-breakingly bad that your logic centers fry, but can also be the insanity-inducing qualities of a NSFW fic. All legendary badfics are NSFB.
So you can warn for one or both of those; your wording suggested NSFB but didn't warn NSFW.
Anyway, now you know. :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! THE PAIN!!!!
I had to say it, I just had to say it. I just had to ask 'how bad could it be?' Well I got my answer. It's bad. Really, really, really, bad. thirteen PGGBB's bad. Feel your IQ dropping as you read it bad. GRAPEFRUIT BAD (sorry to those agents I just gave flashback to). I vote to have this one added to legendary bad fic, if it is not all ready there. The warning should have tipped me off but I just had to look. I think I'm in shock.

...however, I would say that it should be more about all badfic, rather than just Sues. This is something that we have had a lot of discussion about recently.
Also, as far as I am aware, we do not fight or oppose the authors. We fight bad writing.

Yes, that is my strange and useless newbie gift. Treasure it.
Nice to meet you :) As the others have said, no worries at all about taking on Sues yourself! We don't have a monopoly on that; the only thing we're protective of is the shared world of the PPC - our methods and gadgets and history and so on, which is why we have people ask Permission before they write for us, but by no means are we the only ones. So don't worry. :)
And of course, as Baird has said, we don't just kill Sues - that's how it started, but we've branched out. Anyway, here are The Links, are a collection of articles and other useful URLs that we politely ask every newbie to read, as they really do contain Useful Information. It's a lot of information, but it should explain everything you need to know about the PPC.
In relative order of sensible-reading-ness, they are:
* The Original PPC Series, which we assume you've already read.
* The List of Killed Badfic, which will direct you to a large number of non-Original PPC Missions.
The Board:
* The Board Constitution
* The FAQ: For the Board
The Wiki:
* We have our very own PPC Wiki
* The very-important-to-read-before-requesting-Permission Permission article
* Our Guide To The PPC
* The Mission Writing Guide
* The Slash-Sporking Guide
* The FAQ: For Newbies.
When you are ready to edit the wiki, make sure to read Neshomeh's excellent editing tutorial.
And finally, but very usefully,
* The List of Everything PPC
Hope you're not feeling overwhelmed. Again, lovely to meet you :)

Whoa! NSFW Warning on that! by

Linking without mentioning that it is NSFW is not cool at all.
Don't do that again, okay?

Just a Warning... by

From what I'm hearing, this is EXTREMELY NSFW. It's an original piece of fiction that is so vile and scandalous that the author was sent to court on charges of obscenity. Mind, he was cleared of said charges, but the whole thing still oozes of do not want. It involves kidnapping, raping, and butchering children. I hope I'm not overreacting, but I really do think that everyone deserves a fair warning before clicking that link. ._.
