The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Now, do we need to reach a consensus that consensus has been reached?

What do you think?

I especially like Anthony's training, and how he can't quite manage to stop singing things. I also like how you make a giant purple centipede appear affectionate and almost motherly.

... but when you're right, you're right. I also vote Sedri and Trojie.

For both Sedri and The Trojanhorse.
They are both active on the board and The Trojanhorse especially concerning missions. From what they write I think they have a good enough grasp on the English language as to be able to decide who may write missions.

Um, thank you all for saying such nice things! If it be the will of the majority I will certainly be a PG ... I suppose I should start pulling my weight around here :)

I also would like to cast votes for both Sedri and IndeMaat, both of whom I find to be extremely useful types and fantastic PPCers

Thanks for the nitpicks. No matter how often I reread, there's always something I miss. Concrit is always very welcome.

I think that Car'rok and Tia are more alike than either would want to admit, but if having them respond in too similar a manner doesn't come off very well, I'll keep it in mind.

I think I was panicking a bit when I asked that. I logged in to see a huge number of replies to my supposed-to-be-easily-ignorable little post and flailed. I'm all embarrassed now. Can we pretend I never asked? I don't really want to give it up, I just don't want a fuss over the matter.

"Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Star Fox and the Partridge Family. The story should use getting sucked into the "real world" as a plot device!"

Well, ain't that crackaliscious?

Definitely vote for both; both good writers, and quick with the encouraging concrit, and they've both been around for quite a while now. (How many votes is a majority? Is there a deadline? Can we do a recount later? Do either of them have sponsors? Will there be mudslinging later? ...Can we have a mud fight, then? Those are fun...)

Way to go, guys! ^_^

I may not have been on here long, but I think they both deserve it.

I vote for both of them.

That's kind of like asking if you can give up membership of the Board. The ability to give permission doesn't mean you're required to, and people won't tell you off for not doing so -- they'll just try and get some more elected.

Sorry for not being around anymore (life happens...)

As an old PG, if you need any advice or help toss me an e-mail: letohaven@hotmail.com pretty much the only way to get ahold of me now.

Nice work!

Impressive work, and good riddance to a nasty set of Sues. I love the reaction to the crown of many colours.

A couple things :

"“It’s easy for you to saw,” grumbled Tia" may need to have "say" instead of "saw", unless this is a pun.
In "Sweeney Todd screw-up", it's typically treated as just the two words "screw up"
"The owner of the second voice, good-looking boy" probably could use an "a" between the comma after "voice" and "good-looking"
"snuck" (five instances) is technically accepted within most of the United States, but sneaked is preferred, especially in works with an international audience. There are also parts of the US where it'll still get odd looks.
"“Probably”" could use a period at the end.
"But therre’s this other chick, Firalyn," should be "there's".
I think "“What is it?” came a beautiful and musical, but rather surly voice." would have a comma between "surly" and "voice", unless "but rather surly" is a restrictive modifier. If it is restrictive because surly is necessary for identifying the voice, then the comma after musical should be removed. As it is, beautiful and musical don't have a noun to clearly modify.

On the extreme stylistic nitpick side:
You've got someone who's supposed to be leading the narrator to Elwin's room brightly announcing that they've arrived, and then the narrator stating that they've gotten to the door to Elwin's room. If there's reason to clarify that there was no duplicity, this is useful, but if there is, I've missed that reasoning. There's a pretty good opportunity for a joke here based on duplicity -- for example, pointing that the room of a Sue is seldom a good place, but that the addition of a giant centipede, several Orcs, and a trio of mini-balrogs spiced up the scenery -- might get it out of the psuedorobotic tone it falls for a second there.

Likewise, there are a few places where both agents in a scene respond to each with very similar sounding tone, most notably when both say "All right". That's actually very realistic, especially if the Agents have spent much time working together, but it doesn't look great in prose. If you want a theme of individuals who are similar inside despite how different they are physically, this can be a useful subtle trick, but I dunno if that's what you're aiming for.

If MaxInsanity does Rectified Anonymity and I can't team up then I want to do this fic instead:

Blue Shelled Lover: Koopa Sex with Littlefoot x Cera style anatomical errors

But apparently everything's official now, so I'd rather do it right. Don't worry, it won't take long.

but it is.

Sedri.

Sedri is, like nearly everyone else has said, the first to go up with concrit for the person applying, and It's good stuff that she points out, too.

Plus, she's a dang good author.

Now, I don't have anything against Trojie, I'm just not that familiar with her writing yet, nor her criticing style..... or, anything, actually. I still have my second vote, mind. XD

I agree with both your responses - and I'm rather grateful that you went through and spent as much time on each as you did.
