The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Here's the link for you: OFUG

But the third one was the best.

Greetings!

It seems I am the first Link-giver to turn up. Haha! ;p

The Links, if you don't know, are the lot of 'Go Read This Now Please' urls that we throw at every newbie since they actually do give Useful Information. In relative order of sensible-reading-ness, they are:

* The Original PPC Series, which we assume you've already read.
* The List of Killed Badfic, which will direct you to a large number of non-Original PPC Missions.

The Board:
* The Board Constitution
* The FAQ: For the Board

The Wiki:
* We have our very own PPC Wiki
* The very-important-to-read-before-requesting-Permission Permission article
* Our (my!) Guide To The PPC
* The Mission Writing Guide
* The Slash-Sporking Guide
* The FAQ: For Newbies.
When you are ready to edit the wiki, make sure to read Neshomeh's excellent editing tutorial.

And finally, but very usefully,
* The List of Everything PPC


Again, welcome! Please, tell us about yourself. What fandoms do you read/write for, for instance?

Have a pufferfish :)

That would be good. Most of the offenses happen in the Star Wars verse. Even though the Holmes one was labeled as "3" it was either the 4th or 5th in the series.

Would this be something to make one large mission to kill her several times within the same mission, or take each one separately?

I was planning on sending my new agents, David Kelok and Unger on this mission. Being illiterate, Unger has developed a fondness for a certain 2009 movie.

for not having seen the prequels and not diluting your appreciation of the Original Trilogy.

I'd be happy to help out on a multi-agent, multi-fandom mission. ESAS has a couple of Star Wars agents who would love to set canon to rights.

Well, if it's just the prequels you're unfamiliar with, I might be able to help. I've seen them multiple times, although I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars.

Since when is there a Fanfiction University of Gallifrey? I looked not too long ago, and I couldn't find one. Could somebody please give me a link?

I would have to find some help for the Star Wars stuff. My geekery only extends to the original movies and select books that come after the original movies. This deals with the prequels. I haven't even seen the 3rd one yet. *Ducks in geek!shame*

It would be like your own prime time mini-series special.

Are they distressing in appearance? Do they cause the wearer to be distressed? Do the gloves give the wearer the ability to distress others? DO they just generally radiate an aura of distressing-ness?

I am curious.

I believe there's a way to kill a 'Sue with Suequels (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) once and have her be dead for good. I don't know much about Sherlock Holmes, though--I read Hound of the Baskervilles and I know he's got an arch-nemesis named Moriarty--so I can't help you there.

...but I never manage to finish the series. I get about halfway through before I get bored, sometimes less--and the quality of the voice-acting has a lot to do with it. If the voices fit the characters, I'll keep watching, but if they sound all wrong, then I'll just give up.

And I know not everyone shares this opinion, but the easier a series is to find in Japanese with English subtitles, the more likely I am to watch it. I dislike English dubs on general principle, though the degree of dislike varies. I saw an anime once where the narrator couldn't even pronounce the characters' names right... -shudder- Awful.

If they're meant to be crackfics, I wouldn't. If they seem to be serious and yet are so awful they've become crack (see the TVTrope, So Bad It's Good), then spork away, my friend. This fic-shaped-thing seems to be the latter.

Having read the manga usually makes me more eager to see the anime, in a kind of "ooh, I can't wait to see that animated!" sort of way.

... can you tell someone let me see "Evita"? Welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. Also, here's a pair of distressing gloves.

I was cruising around looking for a Mary Sue to kill in my new fandom of Sherlock Holmes 2009. The vast majority of fics for the movie--even considering the open invitation to all slashers given in the movie there is an almost total absence of bad slash--and especially for the books are exceptionally well written. Even when they have strange premises that would normally be handled in the worst possible ways, it is hard to find any charges. So in general a source of goodfic would be the Sherlock Holmes sections of the pit.

However, I found this story: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4306702/1/WorldGuardians3theInbetween

I don't know quite what to make of it. The author took the time to write a summary pertaining to Sherlock Holmes, to list the characters involved as being from Sherlock Holmes, and then proceeded to post chapters with which I can discern no possible link to Sherlock Holmes.

In fact, it seems very much like the story is based on some other fandom. Okay, so I finally realized that with a 3 in the title there must be more of these around. I checked the other stories with the same characters, and I found the annoying origin of the Sue here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2757381/1/worldGuardiansthe_warrior

It is a badly handled mangling of the Star Wars prequels era continuum that has now been shared over to Sherlock Holmes. For a multi-story Sue is it typical to go after each of their stories, or does once suffice to kill them entirely? I am kind of leaning toward, if I kill her in the Holmes story that she would still be messing up Star Wars, because of her other stories, but I am sure this has been dealt with before.

The Holmes story is apparently not complete. The others are all much longer, and like I said there is no actual mention of anything at all relating to Holmes. Any advice for how to handle a story that never even gets around to mentioning the continuum in question?

Hello, Newbie! Awww, ain't it cute. Here's a newbie present--a baby hawk, my distant distant DISTANT relative. Train it well, and it may help you kill Sues. Treat it badly, and it will eat your face, but that's what you get for dealing with predators.

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

I don't believe we've met. I'm Pretzel, and it's nice to meet you. Welcome back! I know how it is with idiotic computers and stuff- my power cord for my laptop managed to crap out on me for a good two months, so I was without my computer during the last bit of my previous quarter in college. Not fun.

As for the party, my agents shall definitely be joining in, now that I've got Permission and stuff. They are Ian Nahinu and Lee Keaton. Feel free to do with them as you wish; Lee's a bit of a lightweight when it comes to alcohol, and anything with mint in it gets her even more tipsy/snuggle-prone (which is weird, 'cause she's normally not all that touchy-feely), as she's a feline-based shapeshifter and therefore affected by anything in the mint family, like catnip. (For further info, look either on the Wiki or here).

My apologies for rambling; I do that quite a bit. Anyways, welcome back, and I can't wait to talk and interact with you further.

Welcome to the Board. I hereby give you the standard Frying Pan of DOOM^TM, and Agent Lee sends her regards and a batch of freshly baked brownies. Ian, her partner, couldn't be reached at this time.
