Thanks! ^^

I'm a newbie, so you won't know me. But in honor of your return, here's a venomous arthropod!

The ship is sentient. But you can still recruit, they'll just enjoy the ride.

The ship is sentient.

Sues ruined me. I can't even read it if it isn't Slash now xDD

A slave crew, maybe. Of Sues. >.>

Fair winds!

Data, DJ, "Holy shit, it's a green panda!", new guy. They all work, so long as I know that you're referring to me.

I don't usually mess with Sues (they've scared me away from any sort of Het at all) but there plenty of Bad Things in Slash! 0__0

Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory! (It can't be Sueified and it can also be used to block one's view of Bad Things.) You won't know me because I've only been on here for a little less than a year, but welcome back anyway!

Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay here!

Chances are, none of you remember me. I was in the PPC from about 2005-2007ish, and for the past 2-3 years I've been trapped *cough* Happily Partying *cough* in Real Person Slash.

I was feeling a little nostalgic, though, and decided to "return to my roots", so to speak, and see how everything in the PPC is going.

I'll probably lurk a bit, but if you wish to seek me out, I will be in the Bad Slash Department, or perhaps you may find me hiding on AIM at Annalas2007 or MSN at annalas2007@hotmail.com. All messages can be left on Livejournal for Annalas.

That being said, I suppose it's back to lurking and reading Slash.

The criteria they're looking for sound EXACTLY like the book I'm trying to write at the moment, but I'm only one and a half chapters into it! *sob*

I tend to have long charge lists, but I usually don't mention every point on them when charging (all charges have already been mentioned in some way while the agents were collecting charges. So, reading out the full list gives the mission too much redundancy).

Wall of text though can be avoided by breaking the charging up in paragraphs and by having the agents argue with the Sue about charges. I'm actually amazed how some agents manage to charge a Sue of the grrl/defiant/takes no shit from anyone type without her trying to interrupt even once.

I think this may be more of what I was really asking. Thank you

I have read the manual, and I am working on reading more of the spin offs. I haven't gone and read the fics that were sporked, so I can tell they were bad, but not the full impact of how bad. It's probably more a matter of experience, of needing to check a couple of the original fics to see how they compare to the sporkings. (Don't worry, I don't plan on reading any of the legendary badfics any time soon.)

New people are generally excellent. Nice to meet you. I'm Makari; may I call you Data? I'm loath to use DJ, and I have an unfortunate tendency to abbreviate things four syllables and over.

Here, have a harness-and-leash set. They're amazingly useful, for anything from minis to partners to runaway brains.

I thought this might be of use, or at least interest, to some of the Board.

More within; one thinks it would be foolish to summarize in too much detail when the best words are but a click away. Essentially, a certain publisher, Juno Books, is looking for complete or near-complete manuscripts. Strong female heroine a must, urban fantasy preferred.

http://juno-books.com/about.html if you're curious. They are a legitimate publishing company, if you're worried on that, books-in-bookstore and all.

Those of you who frequent the Wiki may have noticed the new article about fanmixes. Those of you familiar with my thought process might have guessed that such things were on my mind for a reason, and you would be right. I'm having another crack at it.

My idea is the same as the last time, i.e. following a day in the life of a PPC Agent with tracks selected only from soundtracks, but I'm attempting a more lighthearted, upbeat, and slightly goofy tone overall. Here's what I've got so far. Format (for now) is:

Theme - Song Title - Fandom of soundtrack
With a brief lyric excerpt illustrating my choice, where applicable.

1. Goodficcer's Lament - The Sound of Silence - Watchmen
"Hear my words that I might teach you!
Take my arms that I might reach you!"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence.

2. Welcome to Headquarters - What Planet Is This?! - Cowboy Bebop
What planet is this?! Also the crazy jazz and sudden changes in the piece.

3. The Flowers - Treebeard - Lord of the Rings
I like the ominous feeling coupled with the sharp percussion, which throws it off a bit.

4. Meet the Agents - All for One - Spamalot
One for one, some for some,
Slightly less for the people we don't like,
And a little bit more for me!
If Arthur is the SO and the knights are the Assassins...

5. New Partner - What Is This Feeling? - Wicked
... Do I need to elaborate?

6. The Console - The Knight Bus - Harry Potter
This is one of the few I kept from last time, because it's perfect.

7. Fic Report - All Along the Watchtower (arr. Bear McCreary) - Battlestar Galactica
"There must be some way outta here," said the Joker to the Thief.
"There's too much confusion; I can't get no relief."
...
"No reason to get excited," the Thief he kindly spoke.
"Many here among us feel that life is but a joke."
Could be the words of the Intelligence agent, or possibly the conversation of the agents getting the report. And it's just an awesome piece.

8. The Word World - The World - .hack//SIGN
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality.
Second one I kept.

9. A Mary-Sue - Wunderkind - Chronicles of Narnia
Pretty self-explanatory.

10. Riffing the Fic - Vorc Arrives - Farscape
Goofy, as if to say WTF? Picks up speed as it goes, and gets darker, like the mood of the agents.

11. Possession - Delvian Dreams - Farscape
Haunting, almost beautiful, but discordant, too.

12. Bad Slash - Go Go Cactus Man - Cowboy Bebop
It... I... look, I'm sorry about this one, but I couldn't stop laughing, so it had to be done. Blame Barid.

13. Exorcism - Did They Have to Die Today? - Medieval II: Total War
A little bit too serious, but it has a bell in it, and the Latin(?) chanting vaguely fits, too.

14. Lust Object - I Want You (She's So Heavy) - Across the Universe

15. Reading the Charges - Listen Here - House, M.D.
The third one I kept as is. It's like the sax is a litany of scolding, but with a sort of throw-a-party feeling, too.

16. The Kill - Rock Anthem for Saving the World - Halo
I've used this song again, but in a different spot.

17. Neuralyze & Neutralize - Dirty Hands - Battlestar Galactica
Sort of an industrial sound appropriate for the disposing of a body, with some other sounds that suggest a neuralyzer.

18. Bleeprin! - Dr. Mario - Super Smash Bros. Melee
Happy feel-good pill-popping!

19. In FicPsych - Call Me, Call Me - Cowboy Bebop
I close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls, sunny liquid dreams.
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Got to get to you, but I don't know how.
...
Please won't you call and ease my mind?

20. All in a Day's Work - Dimension - House, M.D.
I fell down in the desert baby,
I had nothing but a piece of paper, yeah,
I had to write something down,
And I found myself alone, and then I let go of everything,
Into another dimension.
Good recap and wrap-it-up song. Very energetic.

** Bonus Track! It's a surprise.

** Second Bonus Track! Also a surprise. (Hint: you'll want to whistle along.)

Let me know what you think! I may change the order of things before "release." Any suggestions for that, or for different tracks or themes?

Here, have large, blue egg. No clue what's in it.
