The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

No, you're not going to go insane. It's just like my favorite word (besides Aether).

These "Obscure Fandoms" consist mainly of Bablylon 5 (best freaking TV show ever) Original Trek, and Science Fiction/ Fantasy By Authors Who I'm In The Wrong Generation To Even Have Heard Of.

(That is: Niven, Foster, Asimov, Clarke, Clement, Pohl, Lovecraft, and maybe some Anthony, to name a few)

And a handful of less-obscure ones like Discworld, LOTR, and mebbe some Inheritance Cycle.

Maybe they need the parts.

On the other hand, they could be taken in for experimentation. Any mad scientist types around HQ?

Another person who has seen Red Dwarf! I thought I was the only person who remembered/saw it.

There ought to be a PPC version of those lyrics.

WriYe is indeed a year long version of nanowrimo. You should come check it out. We're all very nice and have much fun.

We also have an AIM chatroom called 'wriyebuddies.'

--anamia, who is much the same and is delighted to find more people to recruit.

I swear, they're breeding. "Iananto".

Known simply as "anto".

The fic Trojie and I are currently killing with fire has a couple of minis - Grey, Iamto, and Inato. Do these minis have owners? And is there a list of all known minis anywhere?

Bet the agents who took on that particular mission had a shock. Or an aneurysm.

We've had people literally be haunted by the damn things, and come as close to "mentally scarred" as is possible for a hobby that consists of reading and fantasy worlds. Try it if you really can't resist the temptation, but don't say we didn't warn you!

Somewhere in PPC HQ there must be some sort of kitchen. Interesting assasination method, anyone? We'll cut up the Sue for ingredients ;p

And true, I never asked for it, but if necessary, I accept. Thanks, Neshomeh. Good luck getting your Internet connection back.

Ditto. But it wouldn't be just blonde or black it would be glistening golden cascades or sleek black locks. You’ve got to love suethors sometimes XD

I'll probably miss a great deal, but I can help. I've only ever played the original game and melee, though, so I might not know as much as would be desired.

Thank you very much, sir/ma'am/permission-giver-person. I was going to clean up my permission request a bit and repost it, the next time with both of my agents in it and clearer descriptions in place... But since there's been permission given, I'll just go and put the revised version up on my LJ or something.
Thank-you very much, and I will start formatting my charge list into an actual mission right now.
Thanks once more(and sorry for being pathetically grateful),

Permission is definitely granted. I appreciate a good bit of existential fiction, and Sam sounds entertaining.

I've been lurking a lot, sorry. Life continues to get crazier, and all that.

And yes, I definitely second Sedri and Trojie for PGs.

'Cause I know that's how Pads will probably set it up anyway. I've invited you as an editor, so you should have no problem accessing it.

Thanks, both!

*checks* Huh. So it isn't. It IS, however, listed as one in its article.

Well, the reason for that might be the controversy over whether or not the whole thing is a troll. However, it is certainly bad, and it is certainly legendary by now, so... yeah, maybe we should take a new vote or something.

I will say that C*l*br**n is much, much worse if you're a hard-core Tolkien buff, as most of the PPC was back in the day. For other people, as my fiance will attest, it is merely incredibly stupid and might prevent you from getting a good night's sleep due to pondering said stupidity if you try reading it before bed. So... don't. >.>

As far as I'm aware, and I'm most familiar with the word from Red Dwarf, it *does* mean that particular substance.

I recall seeing an interview with Craig Charles and Chris Barrie in which they recounted an amusing story from being on a panel at a convention: a small boy asked them 'what does 'smeg' mean?' and Chris Barrie actually crawled off stage rather than answer him.

Smeg sounds like a rude word to me, but that's because it's used as one on Red Dwarf.

For future reference, sod and bugger mean the same thing. Think the act of buggery and the sin of Sodom. Hence it's weird, as Trojie says, that sod isn't considered a bad word at all.

You know I'm happy to beta your stuff, if you want to throw it my way.

And I'll second Trojie and Sedri nominations. Even though I know Trojie will flail at the responsibility.

I'm pretty familiar with Smash Brothers, and Nintendo stuff in general. I know I'm new here, but if no one else takes you up, I'd be willing to read it over for you.
