The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

That's... incredibly brave of you. Though the PPC already has a member who's MSTed C*l*br**n, and it's left him in a state of dubious, if happy, sanity.

Check out Huinesoron on the PPC Wiki. He's one of our oldest oldbies and has written a staggering amount for the PPC and its history. Here: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Huinesoron

And here - against my better judgement, which I've given a good kicking - is the MST of C*l*br**n he did.

I bestow upon you a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. Use them well, o new person.

And welcom to the madhouse PPC!

I've started the MST version of C*l*br**n. Not at all sure I want to go any farther. The first little bits are scaring enough...

Have a softnose laser. You can use it to get real Sue eyes to put in a jar. XD

-Gathers all gifts and hordes them possessively- All mine. -cue evil laughter-

Ahem, yeah... moving on...

Thanks for the welcome. Very glad to meet all of you!

p.s. No, 'Sue eyes aren't a habit of mine, nor are they likely to become so. As I say, I'm bad at them and trying always makes me crack up, which kills the effect... 'Sides, they'll get me killed, and being killed right after joining would be bad.

I gift you with oddly mutated strawberries; they may grow legs and wander off, but that's okay, they should still be edible. Or you can keep them as pets.

I see you don't need The Links (presuming you've read the Permission article?), so I'll get right on to giving you a Capillary Towel, a Transdimensional Pocket Knife, and a paperweight. Use them well.

Always nice to meet someone new :)

Hi, welcome to the boards. Don't worry, everyone here is crazy (*what do you mean, I'm exaggerating?!*) A note--don't use Sueperpowers, and abandon your sanity. To that end (and because no one's offered it yet), here's a bucket for your sanity. Don't worry, the Wargs won't eat *all* of it.

PS-Don't ever, ever, *on your life*, read C*l*br**n. I did, and I'm still having nightmares....

Everyone knows the story of Arwen, but what of an unknown sister whose stubborness and temper is enough to rival the toughest of males? This is her story, the untold story of Raina. Legolas/OC, minor Boromir/OC

My comment: Given the number of times the fic uses elloth (flower) instead of ellon (male elf), I suspect that this is a Factory Sue.

And here are the minis for adoption.

mini-Dragons:
Puddle the Donkey, Rabadashh

mini-Mister Glitch (Square One):
Pate Tuesday

mini-Reaver:
Riven Tam

I know better than to tempt the Laws of Narrative Comedy by saying a definite goodbye. I will, however, say farewell, and will still visit the wiki in order to keep up to date. *disappears*

1) I agree that it's completely up to the Agents, and you, of course.
2) Well, since we do operate by the Laws of Narrative Comedy, so in all likelihood yes, they will hear it. (Moreover, people will probably be cutting their nails or doing something besides that that requires precision at the precise moment, so angry yells will most likely follow.)

Oh! Hello! Wonderful! A newbie arrives while I'm on the school computers! Lucky you; the last umpteen newbies have missed a greeting from me. *smiles smarmily* Welcome, welcome!

I hereby gift you with an unsolvable Rubix cube, a plastic model of the Millennium Falcon, and a sock full of rocks. I'm sure you'll find use for them somehow.

Word of advice... don't make a habit of the Sue eyes. The more homicidal of us don't take kindly to them...

We tend to give rather strange gifts around here.

Hi. I have no idea if this is the right place for this, and if it's not, I shall simply put on my best Sue eyes (they're not very good at all, unfortunately) and say that it's not my fault because I'm new. And then you shall smite me and I shall go away to lick my wounds in shame.'

So I hope I'm doing this correctly.

Anywho, as you may have noticed I'm new around here. I was pointed to PPC by a friend of mine after reading and then sending her an epic badfic out of morbid curiosity. So I wandered about a bit, read the original series, poked at the wiki, read some of the other bits of history, and decided that I wanted to do this too.

So here I am.

Delighted to meet you all, excited to be here, and pleased to have found a place where I seem to belong.

I mean, with a canon like Code Geass that has so many Japan-only supplementary materials (such as the sound dramas that Bandai (?) (no access to Wikipedia right now, stupid internet) apparently included in the first season special edition sets but isn't including in the R2 DVDs) you either have to hope that a translation group will get round to them, or just go off main canon (i.e. the anime) and use Wikipedia/fandom Wikia (yes, Code Geass has a Wikia) to check any other information.

Tasmin and Allison are sent on a mission into an NCIS badfic where they find a shocking Sue (duh) and Allison makes a startling discovery about Tasmin's origin.

Hm...canon knowledge. I've watched all episodes, researched online, but I've never read the light novels. Is that enough?

We tend to have quite a bit of freedom with what we choose to do in any mission (which is probably a part of why we're so choosey about who gets Permission); the general rule is, if it can still affect canon, get rid of it. Jay and Acacia wrote that if a Mary Sue dies without any help from us, her 'legacy' will continue to affect tha canon characters.

If the child is a miscarried foetus, you don't have to do anything - let it die. If she goes through the issue that quick it's clearly not important to the story. The Sue herself is obviously the main source of un-canon-ness, so I'd say the pregnancy is effectively the same as if she'd described a rather odd-looking pillow in the Hogwarts Great Hall - it'll vanish, without a trace, once she's gone. (What you need to be most careful of are the things your agents bring in with them; they cannot be left behind.)

As for the garden, it's your call. If your agents are feeling particularly angry, let them burn it down, but be aware that canon characters might see the smoke. Use your best judgement.

(Also, "kids" should be "kid's" - yes, I'm picky, but this is the PPC; it's my job ;) )

So if the sue is suddenly mentioned being... *Ahem* up the stick in one chapter and yet by the end of it the kids dead and she's finished mourning for it, do I have to save the kid? Apparently she miscarried before she started to show, and yet she mourns for all of two maybe threeish paragraphs by going to a 'Garden of Remembrance' and making a memorial. And logically she then starts to freak about people and getting her wheelchair up the stairs, completely forgetting the kid and never mentioning it again (so far.)

Considering she actually went into the garden (which is supposedly right next to the hospital wing) do I have to burn it or will it switch back once she is dead?

~Bronwyn

Not in every case, of course, but I can well imagine that some agents with over-sensitive hearing (or just really bad tempers) would take active steps to soundproof their RCs, either by snitching some useful canonical substance or bullying Maintainence into doing it. Though of course, that would force the default to be not-soundproof.

Well, it could be that the walls absorb the BEEPing because for HQ BEEPing is a generic sound and the walls are made of generic substance, and someone 'shrieking like a riled cat' isn't generic.

...Alternately, people just get used to a background noise of constant BEEPing.

1) If I may draw your attention to a previous line in the article in question: "Any other contents are up to the Agents that inhabit [the RC]." So, the agents can have whatever they want; it's just that Murphy's Law tends to prevent them from relaxing for long. But it's all for humor, so don't take it too seriously. {= )

2) I never really thought about this before. I think that people would definitely hear a scream like that, but wouldn't they also hear BEEPs from other people's consoles? Yet no one seems bothered by this. Hmm. HQ is weird.

~Neshomeh

Mini-Shinkirous would work, yeah. And they'd be so cute as well.

I think you just need to have the ideas for it and have good writing skills and a high level of canon knowledge. Someone else might know more though. I've never considered writing an OFU.

Well, the Guren's always popping up. There are many versions of it, the latest being the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. (eight elements). Plus, the Lancelot has versions too, like the Lancelot Albion (and C.C.'s Lancelot Frontier).

Maybe mini-Shinkiros. There's only one (Lelouch's), so it's not as common as even the Guren, and it's harder to control.

My bigger question is: how do I get permission to write an OFU?

Thanks,
~Xanthia B.

I'm thinking of starting on a second mission.  I need to know a couple of things:

1) It says on the wiki:  "Beds, chairs, cushions, and other items used for reclining are often never used in Response Centers, as it is common knowledge that as soon as one get comfortable in one, the console will beep."  Does this mean that no one keeps such items, or just that they don't generally see much use?

2) How soundproof is a Response Center?  As in, if Claypool were to shriek like a riled cat, would people hear it?  And would she, in turn, hear any yells of "keep it down!" that might come in response to it?
