I do understand how it feels to be like that from personal experience. If you can, get a good night's sleep tonight. It'll make you feel better about everything and it'll make the rest of us happier not getting this kind of thing.

Cool!

I think I'm going to at least try with that backstory and modify his name so it's not actually the name of a canon character any more.
:)

Agent Paddlebrains is a (very) warped RP-created version of Sirius Black. You can do it, just be careful with it, and have fun with it!

Exactly! I'm surprised there are so few, for that reason. That's what made me think that maybe there actually was some rule about it. I mean, you've grown up with this person, you've got all the history of who sneaked on who for stealing cookies, you know how to push all the other person's buttons... but there's also that bond.

It's basically modern day. There are some differences, but they're pretty minor. I only split it off from actually being set in our world recently, when I decided that some of the stuff going on was just a bit too weird (another major character is an anthro werewolf pop star, vampire attacks are a bit too common to just be ignored, and Jackson&Felagund (back when it was one person with a split personality gone out of control) had an epic battle with an old school aquaintance who had been posessed by demons). The internet is less of a thing, though - it stayed mostly reserved for big universities and the military, and fanfic is mostly in 'zines, but the publication of these has become increasingly easy and popular, so their 'verse has its share of mass-consumed bad fanfic. Also, fangirl Latin is a common thing (some pretentious idiot started it and it caught on among other people who wanted to look clever, and spread to most of fandom).
I already had Felagund being really uncomfortable reading anything he can't hold, while Jackson took to it like a duck to water, being generally more technologically-minded. I might do some more work on their home 'verse, though (which I need to do anyway), and look for more things like that. Thanks!

Your 'verse sounds fun, though, and certainly better developed than mine. I'm glad to hear there are others like these two around, and their origins, at least, shouldn't be a problem. :)

There is a brother-sister agent pair. Although I believe there is a third member to that little group. Their names escape me for the moment. Brother had a thing for Victorian or Edwardian England.

Brothers and sisters would make excellent agent pairs. I mean, aren't it your sibs that drive you crazy the most?

No lemons, please, nor anything slashy. I would prefer Classic Who fic, but will take New Who fic as well.

Yeah, as soon as he became an actual character rather than just a nickname (as part of a fantasy book club), I knew their story could never be published. Part of why I wanted to use them as agents :)

I can try to think of a new name for him, though - something similar; he's firmly entrenched as Felagund in my head, as is his sister's habit of adressing him as Fel, and his hatred of that nickname. I'll work on it.

Heh. I haven't read anything by either of them, but from what I've heard I don't want to. :)

Send them along.

No one's complained so far about one of my agents. She's from an Modern Day World One original 'Verse much like yours, with magic, were-beings (though technically they're more shapeshifters, but I digress), vampires, and other assorted beasties.

Anyways, I have a question for you: Where in the general timeline of World One is your 'Verse set? What I mean is, is it more like modern-day times, medieval times, or something else? That might impact how your characters interact with the advanced tech the PPC has, and could prove to be a running gag/funny thing for your agents.

Hey everyone,

As I type this, I have just finished putting up six more badfics on PPC Wiki's Unclaimed Badfic page.

Read at your own risk.

Hey Cassie,

I just finished putting links to six LOTR badfics on the PPC Wiki's Unclaimed Badfic page.
They're the ones I was talking about earlier:
'Ana', 'dangers of the heart', 'Legolas's socalled love', 'Sary', 'The Marriage' and 'Through an elf's eyes'.

If you want to take a look at them, go right ahead, but please keep in mind that I put those warnings in there
for a reason. At least two of them *will* become legendary.

That said, I've tried to make my comments on them funny.
Might make you laugh. :D

Bye now!

I've been trying to develope two agents with the help of Aklea N. But that's helpful only to a point, seeing as she is more fond of angst than humor. So...

See above message for a more detailed apology.

I spoke...far too hastily for anyones good, and I apologize. I've gotten about twelve hours of sleep in the past three days, and my temper, manners, and apparently eyesight as well all seem to be suffering.

Again, numerous apologies to all parties involved. This was inexcusable.

Especially before deciding to insult other Boarders. That's not cool. Knock it off.

Is often appreciated. It does save confusion.

Also, if the original world he's from is something you're thinking of maybe publishing someday, that's another good reason to think of a different name. While borrowing from Tolkien happens and is understood, doing so blatantly is frowned upon. (By readers, at least. Apparently publishers don't mind, especially if your name is Robert Jordan or Christopher Paolini.) {= )

~Neshomeh

Explain, please? Are you having fun or did someone steal your identity? I actually don't think that the nonsense looks quite the same as the other two troll-messages, as if it were inexpertly imitated, so maybe it is just a joke. But if the troll is an identity thief, that shows a certain level of intelligence, which I find frightening. Is there any way to block people on this board? Once or twice is funny, but...
Let's see, a bomb should do the job...

I have a father and his two sons from an original universe as Agents. They have a dynamic that I found appropriate for the place.

Where Sergio Turbo and Araeph discuss this very issue.

1) OK :)

2) Hmm... I think I can pull it off. They do have fairly different personalities and possibly the biggest effects of them being twins are extreme physical resemblance and knowing one another's body language very well.

3) *headdesk* I... confess that I had momentarily forgotten Dafydd Illian. Mea maxima culpa! But Maglor wasn't his most commonly-used name, he always went by Daffyd. Would that make any difference, do you think?
(Now I'm nervous of being accused of backstory-theft)

1) From what I've heard that's fine, and even if it isn't, that sort of original fiction universe isn't too hard to come by and I'm sure you could foist them over to a canonverse if you really wanted to.

2) Weeell, it's PPC policy to have agents be a sort of 'odd couple', and that might be rather difficult with twins, but...If you think you can make it work, that's fine by me, anyway.

3) That is basically the same backstory as Dafydd Illian, one of our most well-known agents. What do you think?
