Welcome, fans of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum and supporters of the Canon Protection Initiative! If you've got a story to plug, an opinion to share, or a discussion you want to join in, this is the place!
If you're looking for PPC stories to read, why not start with The Original Series – the missions of the famous assassins Jay and Acacia, the very first stories in PPC history. Once you've finished them, check out the list of Killed Badfic to find a mission you like the look of, or The Complete List of PPC Fiction to look up specific agents or departments.
Before you join the fun, there are some important links you should know about. Being familiar with these will save you a lot of hassle!

Do you realize I'm turning 35 in less than two weeks and I've been in the PPC for about half my life? Go on, rub it in about my advanced old age, you adorable little fresh-faced Board!babby, you. ^_~
Happy Boardiversary, and here, have some fresh Canon Cookies for the occasion! Canon Cookies for everyone!

Oh, you don't understand! This whole thread is merely a ploy to get you three to comment for some unspecified reason! Once Neshomesh comments, MY PLAN WILL BE COMPLETE!
Seriously though, I think you're contributing a lot to the community simply by having been here for so long and still being active. You were just the first people I thought of when I thought of people who have been in the PPC for a long time and are still active. đ
It feels wrong to be included in a list with some of earliest folks, though . . . They've both contributed far more to the community than I have!
Happy monthiversary, Genius!
âdoctorlit, seeking revenge for the slow thievery of time
Welp. That sure was some smut. And I think I agree with your in-character assessment that the author just didnât know a lot of details about Middle-earth, like âArwen existsâ and âthe Brandybucks and Tooks are relatives.â
I donât think Iâve seen a slash mission that divided the exorcisms up into sections like this before. It was interesting seeing how the circumstances in each one necessitated different plans of action from the agents. Iâm especially amused by having to neuralyze Merry and Pippin into continuing the badfic, just so things wouldnât go off the rails down the line. I also find it funny that the wraith possessing Aragorn and Legolas was so much weaker than the other two (being a smoochy-face wraith and not a pants-down wraith) that it just got shouted out of existence. Makes sense!
Yeah, making romantic love out to be more valid than friendship love irritates me, too. And we certainly have enough of that sentiment rattling around in pop culture as it is. I hope Liz (and you) arenât too put-out over this experience!
A couple lines with missing words:
âShe was playing something on her 3DS, having to somewhat awkwardly hold onto without disturbing Vulpix.â
I forget the fancy phrasing, but that second sentence is missing a âtargetâ for the verb âhold,â which makes the 3DS kind of vanish from the thought.âawkwardly hold onto it withoutâ will fix things up.
âSummoning and shattering a mirror, the bit died with a face full of glass.â
Since Avery is absent from this sentence, it sounds like the bit elf is doing the mirror magic. Couple of possible fixes; this one changes the least from your original sentence:
âSummoning and shattering a mirror, Avery left the bit dead with a face full of glass.â
But there lots of ways to fix that, if that version doesnât feel right for you.

I've recently been reading back over reeeeally old PPC stuff, and am amazed at all the times we complained it was So Long Between Updates, when in fact it was... a week. ^_^ Nowadays we're lucky if two chapters come out in the same year...!
Anyway, I've been here (oh lawks) closing on seventeen years, and I am utterly delighted that people are still finding us and enjoying the PPC. :) This is an amazing community.

It feels like it was just yesterday when I made my introduction post. Iâm honestly shocked that I hadnât known about the PPC until May 1st. Iâm so happy to be part of the community. You may be wondering why Iâm making such an over-the-top post about being here for a month (especially considering that there are people who have been here for at least a decade [Iâm looking at you, Huinesoron, Neshomeh, and doctorlit]). Well, I just feel like marking the occasion. I hope and expect to be here for many months years to come!
I'm very glad that this mission worked as intended, with a relatively obscure canon being sporked here. And I was worried myself about not having given the agents enough to do in this, but frankly, the fic hardly had anything happening in it either aside from the aaaangst. It's great that the character dynamics managed to carry it nonetheless. We'll see how well I manage to write Sumie and Yuko from here on.
Also, pity you didn't get that reference, but I figured not many readers would. :"D Michael Biehn is the apple of my eye, but he's of the "underrated actor who has been in three and a half actually good things" variety. (He played Kyle in The Terminator and Hicks in Aliens, if you want to place him.) And Blood Dragon is a Far Cry 3... mod? DLC? I don't even know, but it's basically a parody of 80's action hero stuff and sci-fi action games in the vein of Kung Fury. It's got cybersoldiers, awful one-liners, bulging biceps, and laser dinosaurs. It's not as well-known as the actual Far Cry games, but I love it to bits. ^_^ Mr. Biehn voices the main character.
I was worried that the mission would be a bit hard to follow with such an obscure continuum to spork in, but I'm happy to hear that wasn't the case.
And trust me... what you see in this mission is only half of Teh Drama. I don't mind some well-written angst, but... "well-written" is the operative word here. This fic was really, really bad. : D
âJar of Heartsâ
Aw. I feel bad the Middle-earth kids had such a mixed reaction to Tangled. It makes sense, but I also understand that Ruxanda wouldnât think of a Disney movie reminding them of trauma. Iâm glad the kids at least get to help with the last recruitment at the end; they get a new friend, and get to help another kid adjust to being rescued from a badfic!
Within the mission itself, you did a good job of using the agentsâ humor to break apart the more awful content in the fic. It gets a little MST-like, but you still managed to keep the agentsâ personalities at the forefront, so it doesnât dissolve into reactionary talking heads. Also, speaking as someone who doesnât know much about Fatal Frame, I feel like you gave just enough information about the mansion and the family living there to get me through the mission, without overloading me with extra detail about the canon world that wouldnât have affected the mission. Well done!
(Did not get the actor reference.)
Epilogue
You really have a knack for these ânew characters in HQâ scenes. I like that Sumie is more take-charge than other new recruits tend to be, and yeah, I suspect sheâll be well-suited to Bad Slash. I like that sheâll be adopting Yuko as well, as her adjustment period will be easier with an adult from her own culture around to lean on.
âdoctorlit, framed (with glasses)
Still, I think the two totally separate posts emphasize just how darn good this show is. ^_^
~Neshomeh
I actually made my own post on this thread recommending it, but I just can't do so enough.
Thank you~
I saw! Thank you for the wishes, by the way.
(And that goes for the rest of you, too. :) )
I had mine this month too, but you're one year ahead of me. :P
throws confetti
And merry watching. As of right now vg'f ba Lbhghor, but you haven't heard this from me.
The PPC is that old? I never knew that. Well, have a nice day! (Quietly takes a cupcake)
