I think it's chargeable, too.

It's always nice to meet TV Tropes addict. And the Vorkosigan Saga - I got into that a while ago. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have much in the way of badfic.

Good to hear we're expanding our national base! Have a venomous arthropod.

It's always good to have another The Lord of the Rings fan.

Help yourself to a venomous arthropod!

As to attempting LittlefootxCera, it's a big read and I'm afraid the formatting isn't great, so I apologise for that! The missions after it are generally a lot easier to read. I hope you enjoy them all though :)

I'm also curious to see how it will age. I came out of the theater in love with that movie, but I don't know if it will last. We'll see.

I love the Onion.

Sorry about forgetting the underscore. And I spelled it so carefully, too...

I like it. -grins- I like it a lot. Slob vampire husbands take heed: your wives are going to start cheating on you with badly written romance novels!

It's the ideal way to get the feisty-beautiful-self sufficient-secretly romantic heroine in the presence of the lust object, whoever he (or she) might be in any fic. That way they show their independence (they were forced into this marriage! They would never have considered it otherwise, because they are Strong and Brave, and As Good As Any Man. It's their horrible families who don't understand them! etc.) And then from there it's easy to get them to fall in love.

If you think about it, all it really is is a rip off of Taming of the Shrew. Shakespeare does it better...

As to fetishes... well, who am I to say what goes on inside a suethor's brain? I'd rather keep my remaining sanity for as long as possible.

Hello! Welcome to the board. I offer you a sparkly rock as a token of welcome. -offers-

the closing line is the best part of it. Reality check!

There seem to be so many sue!fics where the protagonist get put into arranged marriages. Is this just a convenient plot device or do the suethors have a fetish for arranged marriages?

There are a lot of fictional organizations that remind me of the PPC. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the Grey Wardens and the PPC have some kind of agreement or something.

I've got several characters but I'm not really satisfied with any of them. My Wizard is powerful, but not powerful enough compared to his absolutely minimal health, my warrior needs more power and less defence, rogues aren't too good anyway...

It's a lot of fun either way, though. I love playing as a dwarf, just because I can't help but give them all the same personality as Gimli. xD

You also get a little DMS flag because you will, of course, be joining our department, won't you?

Also, here are... The Links!

Firstly, there’s the Original PPC Series, which is a must-read if you haven’t already. Also, please take a look at our Board Constitution (which, sadly, sometimes just vanishes, but the central rules can also be found here) and the PPC Wiki, which is a great source of Random Information, and the List of Everything PPC, which links to all sorts of helpful pages.

If you intend to write PPC missions of your own someday, please read the Permission article thoroughly, and make a point of chatting with us around here for the next few weeks - don't be shy; we don't bite.

A word of caution - every so often, some cheeky brat will try to goad you into reading a Legendary Badfic. Don't. There's a reason we take the time to warn people off. It's not a test of bravery or anything like that - we like our fellow agents mildly insane, not flamethrower-crazy.

If you have any more questions, check the FAQ For The Board, or the FAQ For Newbies, which hasn't been written yet but will be soon (did I mention we like randomness?), or just ask here. We like answering questions.

All that said, welcome. It's nice to meet you :)

In short, a Canon Analysis Device measures how out-of-character a canon character is, while a Character Analysis Device takes similar readings for an original character, such as a Mary Sue. There are combined versions around, but they're not too common.

(All those links will take you to the relevant wiki articles.)

Because I noticed something...

Grey Wardens are needed to kill Darkspawn.
PPC Agents are needed to kill Sues.

Grey Wardens live about 40 years before they go insane.
PPC Agents don't stay active due to insanity issues.

Grey Wardens sacrifice themselves to destroy the Arch demon and end a Blight.
So... does that mean we need to find the Arch Suethor to end the Sue-Blight?


...yes I did stay up far too late playing that game last night. I admit it. I regret nothing!

And loved it! I was surprised that I did. I hadn't planned to see it as it looked like it would be an "effect movie" but then two of my friends raved about it after seeing so I thought I might as well.
Yes the effects were good but they weren't in your face. The story line may be a 'classic' but there is a reason that story line keeps being used. It works. I thought the characters were well acted and I found I cared about what happened to them. I loved the soundtrack.

Definitely worth seeing, big screen and 3D if you can!

If you love Twilight so much that you'll jump off a bridge for it, don't read.

The rest of you, read and laugh.

Here, have this shiny brick. Sorry about the sue blood still on it, (I hadn't got around to cleaning it yet...)

Welcome to this corner! Please accept a titanium spork and a box of air.

Hello and welcome! I have the Big Bag O' Links for you...

Well, since you've already seen Original Series and the Constitution, take a look at our PPC Wiki, which is always growing and usually reliable. If you intend to write PPC missions of your own someday, please read the Permission article thoroughly, and make a point of chatting with us around here for the next few weeks - don't be shy; we don't bite. Also, the Legendary Badfic. Don't. There's a reason we take the time to warn people off. It's not a test of machoism or anything like that - we like our fellow agents mildly insane, not flamethrower-crazy.

If you have any more questions, check the FAQ For The Board, or the FAQ For Newbies, which hasn't been written yet but will be soon (did I mention we like randomness?), or just ask here. We like questions.

All that said, welcome. It's nice to meet you :)

I don't know the Hogan's Heroes fandom at all.

Welcome, welcome.

Don't be intimidated by the native speakers of English. They make typos just like everyone else. (Most of the worst fanfic actually comes from native speakers).
