The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Welcome to the Board! *Vulcan salute* If by "I plan on joining the PPC proper when I can" you meant "join the PPC community", you just did. :P Mwahahaha.

In honour of your arrival, I hereby present you with a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. May they come in handy.

I approve of the Discworld fandoming you claim, though I know none of the others. Also... *crazy grin, waves sharp object* READ LOTR! (Well, you did ask to be convinced... XD)

You've come at a very interesting time :) Please accept this welcome gift of virtual cookies.

And you should most definitely read LotR. :P

Thing The Third: I find myself wondering if there are any departments or divisions which do not yet have a stated head. I haven't the time to go looking right now though.

Thing The Second: I recommend Ginger Bleep for nausea cause by bad writing.

Thing The First: Can't help you there, but good luck with it.

Hello, everyone.

I was browsing TV Tropes about two weeks ago and came across the page detailing the PPC. I'm sort of kind of sure that I read about you guys a year or so ago, but obviously I never got around to anything but lurking. After spending hours on an archive binge, I decided to just go for it. So here I am, for better or worse.

I haven't written fanfiction for a while (though I have been writing original prose here and there), but I keep up with my fandoms in the place you all so lovingly call The Pit. The aforementioned fandoms mostly number JRPGs (i.e. Tales of Symphonia and its sequel, Golden Sun and its sequel, Baten Kaitos and it's sequel [What's with me and duologies?], Final Fantasy IV, Legend of Legaia). As for other fandoms, I'm an avid fan of the Tortall books (written by Tamora Pierce) and Discworld novels (!!!!!). And I never read LotR, though I did manage to read PPC's Original Series despite my lack of knowledge. Just getting that out there. Convince me to do so at your leisure. XD;

I plan on joining the PPC proper when I can. Looking forward to when I do, and keeping an eye out for badfics in my fandoms. I have newfound respect for all agents just because of that. @_@

So, uh, is there anything else I should say?

I began a long non-fiction book, but never finished it. It would have been similar to what you described. The only advice I can give - besides "stay interested" - is to have a very clearly-defined outline ready before you begin, and to have someone utterly unfamiliar with the subject matter read it when you're done, so as to catch any and all bits that need clarification.

It's lovely to meet you. I'm afraid the only one of your fandoms I know is Narnia, but so what? A fellow protector is always welcome! :)

All of the mentally sane boarders did that at least once (that's my clever way of calling myself sane, which is only partially true...).

Welcome to the Board! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here.

Links didn't work.
Here they is.

the thread that started it all

the pluggage

More than a year ago, we had a discussion about the possibility of creating a Division of the DMS, to be called the Division of Villainous/Evil!Sues. I promise I'm writing some things. But in the meantime, agents of the DoV/E!S (O U C WUT I DID THAR) would need to be distinguished from agents of the DMS proper in some way. I propose this. What do you all think?
Also, one of the points raised in that old thread was that only a small percentage of Sues are villainous. With that in mind, could the DVS also handle Sues who are not themselves evil, but who go after villains and reform them through the power of Twu Wuv?

I heart Farscape so much. Haven't watched it in way too long though. Roommates collect TV shows, though, so it's on our household server... I should rewatch it sometime. My favorite character is Chiana.

I'd like someone to look over these and help me arrange the deadly commas.

http://jakraziel.livejournal.com/695.html A pair of character sheets,

http://jakraziel.livejournal.com/852.html and an intro.

If you help me you will get to feel all tingly for being nice.

I should have asked in the main post, but something was bound to slip my mind. Can those of you who haven't already provided an email adress either do so (edit it into the wiki page if you like, or post it here), or indicate another way in which you'd like to be contacted - through your wiki talk page or just on the Board.

I'm working in the sandbox right now to update the wiki page now with all the updates given here, and to make it tidier and more accessible. Feel free to make more changes at need (as soon as I'm done!)

I'm updating the Beta Reader Directory just now - not being sure if you want me to put all four of these paragraphs (about what you're willing to beta) in there, I'm just leaving condensed version that's there now, so you can change it later if you want.

Here are some that I consider gems.

From "big daddy" by ANBU commander silverwing (posted on Unclaimed Badfic)

"Abaddon snickered and shouted 'hey you!' he shouted to another member practicing throwing his knifes as he looked over at him and Abaddon continued 'YEAH YOU
JUTSU PRACTICE TIME AND I WILL INCREASE YOUR PAY FOR ONLY THIS ONE DAY!'

Making the member nod enthusiastically and Abaddon looked at Mitchell said 'watch!' they watched in interest as the member did hand signs in a rapid blur but to
Abaddon it was like watching a snail crawl slowly. They gasped as the member spat a huge fireball out of his mouth the size of a house which hit the log and shattered
it like a twig before turning it into ashes. Abaddon grinned and said 'ah fire style grand fireball justu one of the best techniques but not the strongest.'"

From "Terrible as the dawn" by unknown author

"Sairalinde proped herself up in bed and watched Nessa continue to go through her draws. Legolas had gone to breakfast so only Arwen and Nessa were still there."

From "Chosen" by Kaos Girl

"All she saw was forest, but not much of it because it was pitch black under the canopy of trees. Either somebody dragged her out here or somehow when she was unconscious, she crawled away from her car and ended up in the forest."

From "Rest My Child" by unknown author

"The young boy watched as the woman he thought was his mother leaves, being forced to leave him. His eyes burned with fire and his whole body suddenly exploded, leaving the room on fire, calling for his mother 'MUMMY!'"

From "Picard's Illumination" by Lorelei MacKenzie

"'Oh God!!!! Why??? Why Why Why???' Picard screamed in agony and fell to his knees. 'Why did she do it?' he was sobbing so hard that he began to hiccup. 'I (hic) loved (hic) her!'"

From "Dauter of an ent" by unknown author

"quicbem was out walking agan & he saw the gorgous lady agan. 'lady' he said.

'ah quicbeam' she said. 'this is our child' she showed him a baby & the baby was betufil"

From "Lies will trap you but are you sure the truth wont" by WildChild (note: 'Matrix' badfic)

"'Hello' he said in a calm Monotonous tone. He was tall that's for sure. He was also Buff the only way I can illustrate this is that he had kind of Muscly arms with a six pac"

And finally, a long one from "4 Survivors of Aliens" by Timothy Hokinson

"The Salvage Technician, Blake, enthused spoke harsly to the Synthetic Knight said,
Blake, 'OK, if it offends your sensibilities, I am sorry, now get off your high-horse and give me the Exterior Status.'

Knight responded amused retributive entrenchment,
Knight, 'C.O.P.S. Patrol Ship Saratoga has docked and Officer Lymangood is on his way to you.'

Blake, 'Shit...!
Blake paused a moment...
Blake, 'Knight you Bastard.'

Knight, 'That is correct...'
Agreed Knight with a smile, humorously continuing,
Knight, 'I didn't have a father, funny enough I didn't have a mother too.'

Blake, 'And I bet SHIT...!' Blake replied satirically mocking Knight, followed by...

Blake, 'Is an extraordinary concept too you as well!?!'"

;p

There are a few that stand out. First, this one, which I don't think I was able to quote directly in the mission:

"I was just looking through the mail, thinking about my girlfriend Quistis(I can use her name because she's from another world)"
--"The Smasher" by Spidey3000

From the same fic, this one is good, too:

"My brother, Crazy, is saying that he's going to beat you as bad in real life as he did in the videogame, without my help. Not that that should influence your decision (he also said you were a sissy girl)."

I don't even know what the author was thinking with this:

"'Is-is everyone alright?' She asked, throat rasping.

'Yeah…' Ron answered with a slight moan, 'Except I can't feel my hooves.'

'Ron, you don’t have hooves.' Harry replied to him, chuckling, or trying to, since it was quite painful. Ginny was heard to giggle throatily at Ron's exclamation of horror."

--"Harry Potter and the Dragonriders of Pern" by Lesalanna

For sheer OOCness, this next one takes the cake. Note the endearment and reluctance to perform a life-saving action because the Sue wouldn't like it:

"'Cordelia, can you hear me? Come on sweetling, please open your eyes.' Snape realized that he would have to force feed the potions to her but was afraid of what that might do to her, he knew his niece and he knew that she did not like being force fed."
--"Family Ties" by dancing stars

I'm sure there are others, but that should do for now.

Note: I am best at correcting grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation mistakes. I also am a good typo hunter. However, being a newb... I can't offer much in the way of style, other than having read probably the entire wiki as if it were a book.

If a book is not on the list, I still might have read it...

My fandoms:
BOOKS
*Star of Kazan
*Pride and Prejudice
*Persuasion
*LotR (including Silmarillion and Hurin. Hurin is my specialty)
*Greek, Roman, Norse mythology
*Bourne Trilogy
*Hunger Games
*Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
*Narnia
*Tamora Pierce
*Twilight (if you make me)

MOVIES
*Narnia
*Bourne Trilogy
*West Side Story
*Pride and Prejudice
*SOME Star Wars
GAMES
*Evony
*Aqworlds
*DragonFable
*MechQuest
*Rome TOTAL WAR

I need to find some non-gory sporkables, I think.

Trying to think of as many ways as possible to screw up the musical to "Springtime for Hitler" proportions. I think Laburnum will demand to know why she can't play the role of Longclaws and Molly will want to be Deathcry, before they even start ...

If I'm being honest, the content of the mission was too macabre for my taste, but the writing is good, and it's always good to see you finish stuff. I didn't have any trouble reading the accents. {= )

I know zilch about Nine Inch Nails--not really my style either--but good luck with it.

I'm looking forward to the musical at OFUR.

(I've been watching "How To Kill A Mockingbird".)

So, which other PPC stuff have you read? The Original Series is a must-see, of course, and my other personal favourites are Architeuthis' Intelligence Reports, hS's stuff (especially the "legolas by laura" sporking), Trojie and Pads' stuff, and the Department of Technical Errors.

I haven't gotten to classic Who yet. Two episodes to go on new Who, then I have the rest of season 2 and all of season 3 of Torchwood, and *then* I will be working my way through classic Who.

My own sonic screwdriver! Yay! Does it transfer into PPC-space when/if I eventually get Permission? Because that would be a useful tool indeed.
