The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Just look at the fic and see if any potential gags spring out.

I wonder what I did that screamed "test"?

Also, anywhere that you'll find a burlesque show.

Well, I saw it coming halfway - I guessed that Nitset was a test of some sort, but I didn't think it was someone on the board.

As far as your apology goes, consider it forgiven, at least by me. You didn't hurt anyone, you didn't cause massive drama (or haven't yet), and honestly, I've been wondering basically the same thing that you did.

I'm kinda ticked off, but I see that it was kind of needed to get your point across...

"I am truly sorry that Nitset doesn't exist..."
That's the main reason I'm kicking myself. I hadn't realized that people would be let down, and now that I do, I'm sad that I did that. Again, I apologize.

And thank you so very much for not being angry.

Don't blame yourself. You must admit, we're certainly worthy of scrutiny. There are many people like Boosette who hate us, and many of them have excellent points. This was a rather ill-planned way to make yourself sure of our good intentions, but I cannot fault you for wanting to make sure in the first place. I'm reasonably sure most of us here have had similar doubts about our own ethicality.

Don't beat yourself up about how you should have expected our reaction, either. Perhaps you should have, but again, I believe you were well within your rights to see if we practice what we preach. You said you shouldn't have taken the word of someone you've never met over ours, but have you really "met" any of us more than you have her?

The last thing is...I expected this. As soon as I read the post, I thought that it was a fake to test our merit. To my knowledge, no sporked 'Suethor has ever come to the PPC for help until much later, when their writing is a lot better. Also...this is the kind of thing I would have done. I did something like this in the past, though a long time ago and not on the internet. I though that Nitset was a puppet, but I didn't say anything because I was hoping I was wrong. It's a pity, really. I don't blame you at all for testing us, but I am truly sorrowful that Nitset doesn't exist, and I'm fairly sure no one like her will anytime soon.

The word your looking for is 'thought'.

Well, at least something... informative came of my grammar slip-up.

And by explaining, I mean confessing and apologizing.

"Nitset" isn't real. She's my - I think the term is sockpuppet. That whole fiasco regarding Boosette got to me more than it should have; specifically, what she said about bullying. It ate at me, because I was worried that she might be correct about the "bullying culture", and if she was I didn't want to be a part of it. So I decided to create "Nitset" and post like I did in order to have positive proof about whether the PPC seeks to hurt people or just to have fun and encourage good writing.

Pulling a stunt like this was incredibly stupid and wrong of me, and I'm truly sorry.

I should have realized that I would get a response like this. I should have showed you guys more respect. I should not under any circumstances have contemplated taking the word of some person I'd never met over my own observations of your kindness and welcoming spirit. Anyone with sense would have realized that the accusations of a "bullying culture" were ludicrous, given the friendliness of everyone. I also had no right to deceive you guys the way I did.

I'm really disappointed in myself, both for the foolishness in this and for betraying my principles by assuming the worst without good reason. I'm also saddened that I've jeopardized my standing in a community I admire and respect, especially since that respect and admiration for you guys has increased exponentially. I hope I haven't done anything that will change the response to any real Nitsets who come along. I also hope you can forgive what I did here.

But otherwise, I know a passing amount about Gorillaz from watching all of their videos and spelunking on their wikipedia page. I probably shouldn't commit to this what with all the other things I'm doing though, so...

...so just pretend I was never here. >.>

I also have a quick beta request for anyone interested. Earlier, being in a strange mood, I went over to DeviantArt to find a picture to help me become inspired. I found one, and proceeded to write this piece (found here, since I'm failing at coding today: http://anamiascorner.webs.com/loyalty.htm), and I would be delighted to get someone's opinion. Mostly, what I would like to know is whether it's worth going over some more and polishing, or, in other words, whether it makes any kind of sense to anyone else. Pointing out any grammatical and/or spelling errors would also be lovely.

Thank you in advance,

Why is it that I always seem to vanish from things I commit to? -sigh- No matter. Hopefully I'll be here for a while this time. School's hurtling to a finish, meaning I'll have more time, and writing missions will probably a good way to relieve stress.

And, lo and behold, I do indeed have a mission. Sort of. It's a lab report, actually, but oh well. I hope you enjoy it anyway. I would be delighted to know what you think of it!

Fair winds!

Well, sort of not. I knew about both meanings, but it wasn't until I was fairly old that I realized the women weren't covering their nipples with pastries.

Welome to the Board. Have a Star Destroyer replica!

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 deck of cards with half the Diamonds missing.

Cornish pasties are pronounced pass-teas; sticky boob things are called paste-ees.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin. I realize that I'm rather late, but I did want to say hello before the thread dropped off the front page. We're all insane here to one degree or another, so you're in good company.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a sabre and a bottle of bleeprin! I apologize for being late, but I'm a bit caught up in things at the moment. I do like greeting newbies, though, so here I am.

It's great to see a sporked author actually deciding to ask for help instead of attempting to burn the board down. :D Welcome welcome!

*glompz*

As many others have said, kudos for being genuinely interested in improving as a writer. I can't think of anything insightful to add that others haven't already said, so I shall skip directly to the newbie welcoming.

Have a platter of chocolate-covered profiteroles and a pet mongoose, and hope you enjoy your time a'Board.

As a lot of others have said, it's great that you've come to us asking for help rather than flaming the Board. I haven't read your fic myself, but it looks like your problems can be sorted by getting a beta - any of these Boarders would be happy to help you! After all, we'd be hypocrites if we weren't.
Good luck in improving your writing! I'll see you 'round the Board.
