Is the Mibbit version of chat malfunctioning again, or is it just me and my talent for having technology randomly glitch while I am around?

Like this?

Sweet! Thanks!

*looks up* Okay, I've been spending too much time on Lolcats.

*coughs* So, I've finally got around to writing my first mission when I realised I need somebody else to tell me how awful my grammar is. *grin* It's in the Doctor Who fandom, and joking aside I would actually appreciate the help. I haven't had a beta before, though, so I have no idea how it works.

*scared voice* Heeeelp meeeeee...

Ah yes... I remember that fic... it's quite amusing, actually.

"Kiaya's Journey"

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5763760/1/Kiayas_Journey

The author seems to have at least a basic grip on spelling, grammar, and punctuation, with a few pretty funny mistakes (Sokka says he's the lead "worrier" in his tribe). However, that doesn't stop her OC from (a) hearing about the return of the Avatar before he even gets out of the iceberg, (b) having preternaturally big mammary glands for a fifteen-year-old, or (c) turning Katara into Captain Obvious.

By the way, can anyone help me figure out how to make the story title into a link, so I don't have to write the title and *then* copy the link? 'Cause I know how sloppy that looks...

We need every able-bodied soldier out there, right NOW! There's a war goin' on, or were you too busy slacking to notice?! There ain't time for basic training. Here's a lasgun, a flak vest, and a standard-issue supply of awesome. Now get out there, grab some cover, and bag me a daemon or two!

HOO-RAH

Obviously, the inside of a plothole contains things that cannot be described with feeble human words.

I'm no Permission Giver, but I like your Agents, and the interlude had me laughing all the way through. I like it, and I think you've captured the spirit of the PPC very well indeed. Good luck!

Hahah, I, Mad Maudlin, am the only M&M here. But that's okay, musicmage4114. 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 slice of sausage.

...to everyone who replied. I'm glad to know that dying isn't really such a certain fate after all for him. He seems to be doing quite well.

Again, thanks for all your encouraging words!

Have some nicely sharpened pencils. Good for defense or writing. I love TVTropes. That's also how I found the PPC.

Actually, am not sure what to call it myself. It's very heavily flavored with AU-ness. I'm more than slightly confuzzled by it.

*blinks*

*waves exuberantly* Hello MM! You've gotten your fair share of welcomes already (and interesting arsenal items), but I like to jump on the newbie-glomping bandwagon. So...

*looks if Maudlin Hart has been here before her*

*FIRST glomp!*

Now off you trot till your month is up. Here's a spork patch! It's a defective spork patch, as one of the tines looks bent, but it'll do for now. Hope to see a ruthless and entertaining bad slasher out of you!

If you need more things to feed your panic mode, visit the PPC Wiki -- http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki.

Many of the plot holes I've heard talked about didn't have any volume to speak of--they simply led from one place to another, connecting those two places without actually creating any extra space for the plothole itself.

It could be that plot holes which "contain" things may simply be plot holes that link to a space that does contain those things (and which may or may not be created along with the plot hole). There's lots of precedent for various places and objects being created out of nothing; a plot hole leading to a space that's been created by a fic probably wouldn't be out of the realm of the possible.

So plot holes may not be "holes" like the kind you might dig in the ground at all; they may be more like portals.

I humbly request permission to be allowed to write for the PPC.

Agent Danny Richardson
Age: 25
Home Continuum: World One
Species: Human
Height: 6’ 2”
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Brown
Weapon Preference: Swords
About: Danny's a literati through and through. He loves nothing more than to find somewhere nice and private with novels thick enough to crack nuts with, so its a bit odd that he's ended up in the Video Game Division of the Department of Mary Sues. He's collected and disciplined, and prefers to go in to a situation with a plan already laid out. He's not above a little good natured ribbing now and then, particularly with his quick-to-anger partner. His clothing usually consists of a black cardigan over a shirt-and-tie ensemble. The one thing that REALLY breaks Danny's calm is poor spelling and grammar. Do not mix up "your" and "you're" around him. We're talking heavy violence.

Agent Laura Dukes
Age: 22
Species: Human
Home Continuum: World One
Height: 5’ 10”
Hair: Red
Eyes: Blue
Weapon Preference: Daggers
About: Laura's a surly troublemaker with a passion for video games, particularly FPSs and RPGs. Her attitude has been described by some as 'aggressive' and by the rest as 'somewhat caustic;' she's been known to scream and curse at those who get on her bad side. Sometimes even those on her good side. She tends to operate on twitch reflexes, which can result in her leaping in and winging it much of the time (much to the distress of her superiors). Laura loves a good practical joke, provided she's not on the receiving end. She dresses casually: long sleeved shirt and jeans most of the time.

A sample pre-mission vignette staring my agents is at http://vgdivision.livejournal.com/582.html#cutid1/. More writing samples can be found at http://poorcynic.livejournal.com/.

Because I don't think anyone has given the traditional Newbie Poke yet.

Very nice to meet you!

The situation is like so: an agent has witnessed an immense trauma, namely her (former) partner running off in a truly painful fic to play the role of Lucius Malfoy's concubine. Said agent (not the partner, the other one) has thus been given Bleepulan ale to erase the memories while the Flowers that be try to find the fic again and track down the partner. For obvious reasons, the agent has now been assigned a new partner, who has just transferred from DIC to DBS. Approximately how long would it take for my poor agent to become functional once again, would giving her Holy Hangover Cure help any, and just how bad does she have to be to cause the Flowers to send her back into the fic to capture her partner and finish the exorcism?

As the others have said, these sorts of posts are never going to be frowned upon.

I wish I could help you - I wish I could give you optimistic statistics and heartwarming stories of victory, but I don't know any. All I can say is, indeed - spend time with your friend, and make it happy times; enjoy every moment you have, because even if he lives out a long life, you're not going to get these minutes back, and it's better to spend them smiling than crying.

More hugs for you - *hugs*

Everyone (or at least me) seem(s) to start out as a semi-lurker. Just wait until you find a discussion you like. You'll be surprised at how much you wind up posting.

I will probably shorten your name. However, it will likely not go beyond “musicmage”. I'm strange that way. Anyway, take a bladed yo-yo.

If I remember correctly, it was a retirement. She and her partner only came back to the PPC on (rather expensive) commission.

I read that one. Sort of. Don't remember if I ever made it past the first "chapter." Good job killing it! And the format was interesting, but well used.

Random question: if the mission itself is written in 1st person, do the agents still need to use crash dummies?

Congrats on this first mission!
