Hello! Here, have a seventeen foot long, multi-color, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

What fandoms do you follow?

I mostly do tv shows for fanfic-NCIS, Stargate:Atlantis, House, Bones, Stargate: SG1. I read a lot of series, but I hardly ever read fanfic for books for some reason. LOTR, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, Pern and other Anne McCaffrey, Warriors (clan cats), some Star Wars, etc.

Anyway, nice to have you, what do you like?

I have seen the books around, but had never read any of them, so I didn't know how they had gotten their powers. I might check a few of them out for my youngest boy. He is constantly asking me "If you could change into any animal, what would it be?" He also likes aliens and battles, so he might like those books, and hey, anything to get him reading.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that I want another Agent right now, but I do think this character would make a pretty good one. He's a character replacement, but as his own character he's not really done anything worthy of killing. I thought I might recruit him, and either save him for later or see if anyone else wanted to adopt him.

I think he might develop a taste for Sues. ;)

Reminds me, I've figured out a workaround for the fic I wanted to spork but didn't fit with my Bad Slashers - L&F can be trying out for a transfer to the Floaters, and they can do it. Simples ^_^ Though now I'm not entirely sure if it counts as sporkable - the characters are comparatively IC, but the dialogue is so appallingly inappropriate I was creasing up with laughter through the whole thing. (This is possible even when the characters are IC. One of them is a ditz who overuses prescription medication and rambles when he talks, so babbling dialogue when he's frightened is perfectly IC. However, the RANDOM OVEREMPHASIS! WITH UNNECCESARY EXCLAMATION POINTS! rendered the whole thing laughable even though it was supposed to be dramatic.)

Maybe vote on Legendary and Non-Legendary examples for each one, if that wouldn't get too unwieldy ...

It's a young-adult series by K. A. Applegate (and her stable of ghostwriters). Follows the adventures of five probably-high-school-aged kids and a bit later their alien buddy as they combat the silent invasion of the Yeerks, a race of slug-like, brain-invading, mind-controlling aliens. They can do this because an Andalite warrior, Elfangor, crash-landed in front of them whilst taking a shortcut home from the mall and, as he was dying, gave them the ability to morph with that fabulous piece of Andalite technology known as the Escafil device (or morphing cube).

Zan Holbar is also an Animorphs native, but she's a Hork-Bajir, which is one of the races the Yeerks have already dominated. They're also rather powerful, being seven feet tall and covered in sharp blades, but normally (i.e. not controlled by a Yeerk) they're dumb, peaceful, and only use the blades to harvest the tree bark they eat.

~Neshomeh, who drew'd 'em.

Perhaps we should ban the Legendary Badfic from consideration, on the grounds that they would sweep everything and make it boring?

Would it be selections from things that we've killed, then? TOO broad a selection might make it difficult.

Thanks for the bumper-sticker! *displays it proudly*

As for what I've already read, I made sure to read everything you linked before I posted to the board, but I thank you for the information.

*poke*

I don't know what you've already read, of course, but there are a few things you should definitely make time for. First, there is the Original PPC Series by Jay and Acacia. It is our canon and that which started it all.

Second, we require that everyone read and abide by the Board Constitution, because it's nicer that way.

After that, there are several helpful documents on the Wiki designed to help acquaint newcomers with us and our habits and behaviors and general weirdness. Sedri's Guide to the PPC is particularly informative, especially when combined with the FAQ for Newbies and the Mission Writing Guide. If you do want to write PPC missions, you should also see the article about how to get Official Permission.

And that's probably quite enough to start with. {= ) Welcome! Have a bumper-sticker! *sticks one on you* ^__^

Ah. I'll take some spiders, then.

Other than a hello and a welcome? No.

I think the Cafeteria does cater to vampiric and even stranger tastes. I wouldn't want to be the one to ask how they manage it, though. >.> Then there's always the option of a side-trip to Generic Fantasy Land if they get desperate, I guess. So, no, not generally many problems around HQ.

~Neshomeh

Did you expect to get something from me, too?

"Lust whammy"? That can't be good. O.o

~Neshomeh

It's a literary term meaning "obvious and intentional exaggeration; an extravagant statement or figure of speech not meant to be taken literally." Perhaps you didn't realize.

For venomous varieties, there's spiders, scorpions, bees, centipedes, etc. Take your pick!

Andalites absorb nutrients through their hooves. Mostly they eat crushed grass, but I think a few of them develop a taste for Dr. Pepper, too.

Given that most Agents, especially Assassins and Pyros, tend to be exceptionally well-armed, exceptionally violent, and exceptionally short-tempered, not wanted to be around them tends to be a sign of dangerous levels of sanity. [url=http://www.freewebs.com/bonsaimallorn3/Echoespart1.htm]Here[/url], for example, it's less about Agent Selene being a vampire, and more about her having a crossbow aimed at someone's head. I think one Agent did get in a lot of trouble for letting a were-sea-anemone run around during a full moon, but the death toll from that still wasn't much higher than someone going "Mr Rogers!"

Venomous arthropod? Could you please explain?

Help yourself to your favorite venomous arthropod! You may...not...need gloves!

Fair winds!

I'd like a blue Tribble, please.

They come in Red, Blue, Green or Orange, take your pick!

Hi everyone. My name is Somariel and I'm new to the PPC boards. I discovered the PPC about a week ago and thought it would be fun to join.
