The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Its CHLIEVER, dammit! Not that goddamn troll again! Unless...

...Chliever is the troll? Hmm.




Wait, what? Chliever's the troll? Oy gevult, when did this happen? O_o

(I know, I know, emoticons are frowned on hereabouts, but...Chliever's the troll! I mean, what?!)

A fair few people make that mistake re: posting when they first join the Board - I know I certainly did - so no worries. The topics go back a fair way, but it's good to know these things.

Miss Cam's website where OFUM was hosted is still up, as far as I'm aware, and the list of minis that had been found by the time she gave it up was there as well. Not all minis are from killed fics; she found a lot before the PPC was even started. I'm not sure if the fics have been PPCed, as I've never seen them.

Once again, you're welcome; it's nice to get a response so polite about these things. :D

And feel free to call me Cassie or Cass, just about everyone else does. :)

Dear Ms. Cameron-Young,

Being a complete n00b when it comes to posting on forums,
I had no idea I was kicking other people's topics off the site.
I thought they were simply stored in an archive.
Otherwise, believe me, I would never have posted three topics myself.

Secondly, I thought the joke involving Miss Cam getting more mini-Balrogs inflicted on her was still circulating,
which is why I referred to her. I can't believe I forgot about the existence of the Adoptions Agency. Sorry.

Finally, since I couldn't find the fics featuring Eldorna, Agaorn and the others on the PPC Wiki,
I assumed these fics had not yet been killed and the minis, therefore, had not yet been detected. Hence the post.

And oh, just so you don't think I feel "insulted" or anything, I'm really grateful you pointed out my mistakes.
This will serve me well for future postings.

Respectfully,
Sister-to-the-Queen

PS: If the fics I'm talking about have already been PPCed,
please let me know. The missions should make for a fascinating read. ;)

As my time as a member lengthens, I start to consider creating my agents. I have a couple of characters lined up (they're from one of my original universes), but I have a few questions about their suitability as agents. I thought I'd ask them now so I don't waste everyone's time later.

1) Is it OK to use characters from an original universe? It's essentially World One, but with more magic, werewolves, vampires etc.

2) They're twin brother and sister (for the purposes of argument - it's actually more complicated than that). I've seen married couples, but I haven't seen any sibling pairs as agents (apart from Rose/Ross, and it would be difficult for those two not to work together). Is the lack just because no-one writes them, or is there a PPC policy against it that I don't know about?

3) One of them is named Felagund. The newbie FAQ mentions that major canon characters who die in canon shouldn't be recruited, but he's not the original Finrod Felagund; he was created through a combination of over-zealous RPing and magic. However, since I'm going to be killing Tolkien badfic, it might cause confusion.

If these guys aren't going to work, then no harm done, I'll use someone else. I'd really like to use them, though.

Thanks!

FIRE! *shoots*

Only the Vita-and-ice-cream thing sounds pretty awful. And as I read it the TvTropes page was mocking it, but I can't say - the author himself seems to be quite confused about why he wrote it.

However, searching badfic when you're tired is not a good idea XD

Miss Cam is no longer involved in OFUs. Please see Cassie's post above. :)

Feel the blunt end of my frying pan! *THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!THWACK!*

... But then, so's that little creep, further proving my theory that some people just SHOULD NOT WRITE FAN FICTION. Seriously.

Now that I think about it, make's no difference to you. *lobs pipe bomb*

Don't make me get the spork gun!

Out of my fandom, you blaggard!

Is there anything besides the mega-crossover nature and the mini in the title (which is, admittedly, Very Bad, but could also be a don't-follow-the-fansubs-honey issue) to make you think this is sporkworthy? The TvTropes page seemed neutral-to-positive, which it usually isn't for badfic of the caliber we target, and last time I checked there were rules about labeling all of a genre as badfic. Rules to the general effect of "don't."

I don't know the fandoms, but it seems like you're threatening death on rather slender grounds. A lot of the quoted lines seemed genuinely funny, and not funny in a so-bad-it's-good way either.

*hits again* And that's for the PPC!

*stabbity* And that's for my old Gaffer! Begone, troll!

First off, can you try to keep the new topics down? If you have stuff relating to the topic you first posted, post that as a reply, please. Each new topic you post shunts another one off the end of the Board into oblivion. Just saying before other people jump on it.

Secondly, Miss Cam is no longer involved with OFUs, minis or the PPC, and doesn't particularly want people contacting her about them. If you want to set up an OFU that the PPC recognises, most people these days just mention it to the Board and see what the response is - usually something along the lines of "go ahead".

Mini-Balrogs, on the other hand, now have an official Adoptions Agency set up to handle them. I got permission to set it up and run it back in 2008. You send the minis there and I keep track of which ones are new, which have been found before, and which have/haven't been adopted yet. I also adopt them out. The Agency is here.

I can also tell you now that Eldorna, Agaorn and frandiul have already been found and adopted... several years ago, by the look of it. You must have found a fairly old fic. Still, re-finding them is good of you, and if you send them along the Agency can send them back to their owners.

TROOOOOLLL! IN THE MESSAGE BOOOAAAARD! TROLL IN THE MESSAGE BOARD!

...Thought you ought to know. *faints*

I'm afraid that would be Elrond.

Hey look, I'm really sorry.

was 'Eldorna' supposed to be? Is it clearer in context?

The PPC Wiki says that you have to apply to Miss Cam to start a new OFU.
According to two different websites, her e-mail address should still be camilla.sandman@gmail.com.

Who is in charge of OFUM now? Because I tried to email C. Sandman and didn't receive any reply. I've been wanting to do something like Sisters of SNAOL for ages.

to make fun of West Side Story, but... changed Maria's name to Herrrrrmmmmy. What the Glaurung? And... all the snogging in the other one... and...BLEEPKA NOW
