It's sold out on Amazon! Congratulations. I knew I should have preordered. :( Sigh.

Worryingly one of the characters I have planned uses axes....

Star Trek, Legacy of Kain, Jak and Daxter, Prince of Persia, Zelda, Doctor Who, Discworld and Power Rangers. I could go on but I think thats enough to be going on with.

Physics? My parents are both space physicists, so I'm fond of the subject (though I'm more of a literature/history person myself).

What fandoms are you into?

Don't be worried, we don't bite! Hovere, here's a gun. It will be useful if you start writing missions, and can be also a good way to defend yourself if someone here goes ax-crazy. However, this usually doesn't happen.

Hello, I've been reading PPC works for a while and have decided to try joining in. I'm 20 years old, English and an Experimental Physics student. I hope to write some missions at some point. I look forwards to talking to you all and please don't hurt me.

Fair winds!

Do not feed it Sues.

Here's my first mission. Hope it was a good idea to give me Permission.

Glad to see new people. Here's a gun to shoot some annoying Sues into the face.

I'd give you links to the things you should read, but I would surely forgot something so I leave it to more experienced members as Neshomeh. They won't eat you, swore. (In fact, neshomeh is still guiding me like a bigger sister, and I am going to plug my first mission)

Just dropping a note to greet all the experienced members :) I've been reading PPC stories for some time and finally decided to come and join the board!

I know a lot of the time, when people write angsty/rebellious teenage characters, they go over the top and do it wrong. But that's not because the character's angsty... it's because the story's written as though said character's angst was REALLY the end of the world, instead of normal teenage woes that suck right now, but aren't such a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.

I think if you made sure to actually write Aster as the somewhat immature character you describe her as, there's not going to be an issue with the rebel-without-a-cause thing. Lots of teenagers are like that. You just have to make sure you don't demand the reader think she is always right and justified in her rebellion.

A lot of PPC agents are a lot more mature than their ages would suggest. We've got fourteen-year-olds going on deadly missions that could easily kill them or drive them nuts; and they handle it pretty well, on the whole--very much like mature adults who are coping in relatively non-damaging ways with something that'd make anybody go at least a little insane. (Justified somewhat because PPC agents are more mature to begin with--literature nerds often are--and because they may've spent ten years at the physical age of fourteen.) It'd be interesting to see an agent who actually is immature.

But YMMV. You could just as easily grow her up a bit instead. :)

I don't really mind, either. But I will ask her to affiliate, in exchange for her putting up the disclaimer that some people suggested.

Less crazy circumstance surrounds Aster. She has no prior involvement with the PPC, and isn't hostile to PPC agents. Though she does resist joining or being picked up by the PPC (for now) she is friends with an intelligence agent, who finds her an all right friend but very trying.

Aster is kind of juvanile-- she was first written when I was 14, and consecutively re-written many times since then but none of her stories have ever actually reached completion. This makes her kind of an annoying Rebel Without a Cause with her own vendettas against Mary Sues and thinks that rules and stuff only will get in her way.

While the Mystery Assassin comes out of nowhere, you can see Aster coming from a mile away. Usually she stays out of high-profile stories, though-- so she doesn't make much contact. Which is why she was first found by an intelligence agent snooping for targets.

The Mystery Assassin is a threat. Aster is just a very touchy hysteric.

AND NONE OF THIS REALLY IS PLAYED UP IN WHAT I AM WRITING BECAUSE ASTER AND HER WOES ARE NOT THE POINT OF IT. AHAHAH WOW. I FAIL AT CONSERVATION OF DETAIL.

But there are PPC missions dealing with transdimensional hopping. Well, there should be more than one, as I believe getting pulled into TV during thunderstorm is a rather popular trope.

The one mission I know of that deals with this: Kelly meets MacGyver.

I've seen another fic that deals with transdimensional hopping, i.e. ending up in ones favourite tv show, but that was actually goodfic.

Long live Portal! Huzzah for Portal 2!

I love all of those, but I think my favorite of his is Code Monkey.
