I'm a new lurker, haven't got permission yet, but welcome back! Have a paperclip!

As long as it's unfounded arrogance that gets the rug cut out from under him every time he's proven wrong, that shouldn't be a problem.

I was thinking OrangeDream's characterization would be more along the lines of arrogance than mere overconfidence, kind of like that kid who challenged the bad slash department to a Celebrian-reading contest. I like the idea of being tasked by the flowers to make sure my partner doesn't just snipe enemies; it would also create opportunities for the droid to talk about how he wants to slowly kill the flowers.

I'm Sara, pleased ta meetcha! And here, have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs but author wraiths and those pesky spambots, too. Use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome back to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

Have a softnose laser. Useful for any future Mary Sue missions your agents may take, should you continue to write them.

Oh, I'm Piph. I joined in October. Nice to meet you!

There's plenty of fandoms that have lots of badfic. I've already left two fandoms behind because I couldn't find any suitable badfic. So, I do know what it is like to not be able to find badfic in a chosen fandom. I just don't think it's worth complaining about, not when there's still many other fandoms out there.

Or you could write a story about how your agents are the envy of all others because they've got so little to do.

Besides donating yourself, people should be aware that Haiti is currently struggling under crippling international debt. It's a horrible situation made worse by a number of factors, not least the fact that they've got a horrible and corrupt government to begin with-- this compounds it.

Not to plug, but ONE is circulating a petition to ask a number of different international entities to drop Haiti's debt, here. They're not asking for money, only signatures.

(If anybody else has organisations to plug, or the like, I'd love to see. I feel like interest in aid over the Western world has dropped drastically after the initial shock.)

Thanks!

Thanks! I remember you from the chat yesterday.

Nice to meet you, too!

Nice to meet you, too! The newbie FAQ is awesome, by the way.

*pats dog*

Thanks! I started out with the PPC chat, so I thought I'd return through the chat. *is strange that way* *pets rock*

Aw, thanks. *blush*

Yeah, CoM was the first series of hers I picked up. It was a bit strange reading about ten year olds at seventeen. I have the first Tortall book, but I find it a bit difficult to read about ten year old again. -_-

I remember you, also.

And thanks!

First poke, if anyone's not done that! (Do we give return-pokes?) I remember you, albeit a bit vaguely.

And welcome you with utter warmth, and not just because it's one more oldbie who hasn't written a mission yet!

Welcome back!

I like this. Good idea, but it might not be used very much.

You probably don't know me, but still, I wish you a happy time at the Board.

Have a Tetsusaiga replica!

Here's a Glitter-proof shield from the Raven Armory! (It can't be Sueified and is useful when you need to block out the sight of a Sue. Don't ask how I got it to be that way.)
You like Circle of Magic? I do, too, even though I mainly stick to Tortall.

I just joined last October. Nice to meet you! Have a venomous arthropod.

Nie to meetcha. I present you with a welcome-back gift of a bag of pebbles (useful for throwing at annoying things such as Sues) and a Random Shiny Object (useful for dstracting things with).

The Mammoth Tank is a vehicle unit from Command and Conquer, the iconic RTS game.

Here's a link:

I wanted to give you something to trample fangirls with just in case you were attacked by hordes of them while shopping. Yes, I know it's an insane idea, but remember, it's the PPC.

I joined early last year.

I've sent you a few PMs through The Pit's private messaging system in regards to some stylistic and proofreading matters regarding your work The Darkest Ocean.

In addition to Sedri's recommendations, universes are typically written as proper nouns within the few places they are described uniquely. World One is such a unique description, and it looks better if it's capitalized anyway. The Star Wars continuum's droids usually have a designator with a hyphen in the middle, and that would be important to make sure ends up in his name every time unless you never use it, or the name is in dialog.

I assume HK-50 is pretty much going to be KotOR's HK-47, sociopathy and extremely efficient violence wrapped in a nice hard case. There's a lot you can do with that, although I'd warn that simply shooting something in the knees from from 120 kilometers with a sniper rifle and a trilight scope might not be imaginative even if it does get the job done. On the other hand, people who want to just shoot em but have to kill in less efficient ways can add to the entertainment.

Is Orang(e)Dream's characterization going to be about overconfidence, or is that just one attribute in one situation that's going to come up?

'Ello. You won't know me, as I'm a legitimate newbie, but I met you briefly in the chatroom this afternoon.

-offers sparkly rock- Welcome back!
