The thing about alleys is you can't get out of them to escape the maddened bouncing Maudlin who shall now HUGGETH THEE! You have not been warned. *hugs* So, anyhoo, welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't be needing it here. Here's a coconut; it's as big as yer head.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a flamer-proof shield from the Raven Armory! I don't know the fandom, but good luck!

It took a moment before I recalled your name (I'm not really involved in the Hogan's Heroes fandom), but then I remembered seeing it on Tir's forum.

Yes, Tir's extended reviews are great. I also love that they stir up discussion among other fans. I've tried to set up a similar forum in Torchwood, but not many takers on discussion there.

Great to hear that you have taken on board the comments on your story and take improving your writing seriously. Many (most) PPC authors have written a Mary Sue story at some point in time (usually one of their first attempts at fic writing), so as a former Suethor you are not alone.

How is the Sue situation in Hogan's Heroes? Are the extended reviews managing to keep things in check?

Hi IndeeMaat! It's me, IronAmerica! Yeah, I kinda got that-but seriously, some of Tir's extended reviews count as PPC missions all on their own... I think I'm going to steal those reviews for banishing the author!wraith thingy...
And, I saw the mission you did for Hogan's Heroes--and laughed until I was hoarse and got funny looks from everybody...Wait. That happens a lot around me, anyways. hehe. As to the alias thing, I decided that using IA for everything was getting a bit old, so, new name. Nice seeing you outside of FF.net.

Nah, it's actually Hawaiian. I have no life and like to read pocket translators. I do know a guy nicknamed Kiwi though, and he's actually from New Zealand.
Ah, do Mega!Replacement!Sues count as OCs?

The way the board works, we can't actually delete posts -- just ignore them until they fall off the Internet.

I have an additional link for you: Hogan's Match It's the only PPC mission into Hogan's Heroes so far. I hope you enjoy.

HH fandom isn't very keen on PPC missions. Perhaps you realise this and that's why you are using an alias. Though I personally don't see why you can't use a different name in different places.

Have an M90909 Javelin. Magnetically accelerated 14.5 mm AP-DS-FS rounds that has a max effective range of 7 km and can punch through 20 cm of tank armor at 5 km.
Enjoy hunting!

Ooo, ta for the reminder, Selaface!

If so, you get a special "KIWI PPC" sticker in addition to your gift, which is... sawdust. I seem to have a lot of that lately.

Anyway, it sounds like you already have a good idea of what's going on, and I see you've been given The Links, so I'll just add that you can't actually horsewhip the author (sad, but true), and will have to settle for her OCs, if there are any.

That said, welcome! :)

Have some ice cream to go with all that cake. It can be any flavour you want.

*rummages through armoury* Sounds like this fic is Hogan's Heroes, yeah? Which would make it WWII? So the P-90 is out. Here, have an MP44. I tihnk that's right, yeah?

I comes bearing links. *drags out Big Bag O' Links and digs through it*

First off is the link to the Wiki, a veritable fount of information for a newbie to read through. Especially helpful for you if you want to write missions would be the page on Permission (note the capital P).

I would advise against reading any Legendary Badfic, unless you are of strong mind and stomach. Even the summaries have been known to give those of weaker constitution nightmares.

For your reading pleasure, not knowing what you have already managed to find, I have several links for you. The Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek) is a good place to start, as the PPC did many aeons ago. What do you mean I'm exaggerating? The Department of Geographical Aberrations is another interesting place to visit, if you have the time and inclination. Also by hS is the Tangled Webs site, which contains backstory for the PPC as an organisation. If you would rather visit the Floaters, then July's site is the place you need to be. And last, but most definitely not least, Response Centre 45 is where Trojie and Pads' missions are archived.

Hope you enjoy your stay here. Please deposit your sanity into the container offered to you by another Boarder; you won't be needing it here.

Very much in favour of both ideas, and if I can be of help on the editing front, you know where to find me :)

*adds some birthday lembas to the pile of cake*

 Greetings, salutations, and….yada, yada, yada. I guess one could get the idea. My name is Honu_Wahine, I just joined the PPC wiki, in the hopes that by January, I can become an agent to give a—dare I even think that thought—\*writer\* the (in the words of General Tirathon) horsewhipping that the author so clearly deserves.<br>     Ummmm… That wasn’t out of line for a first post on the message board, was it? I’ve been reading a thousand or so word review by the great Tirathon, and wondered “Why hasn’t this troll gotten the hint and stopped writing in this fandom?” I managed to compile a pretty good charge list, and hope that I can get permission to kill all four—four!—of these fics myself. Sadly—agents = month long probation on the boards before being considered as an agent.<br>     I really should stop doing this where the author can’t find me (mainly cause this ain’t even my normal penname), but I can’t. This travesty must be stopped—I am begging you, PLEASE! fanfiction.net/s/5537621/1 is the home URL of this travesty, er….story! Yeah, that’s what I meant, the story! <br>     The abomination called “An American Colonel name Hogan,” if anyone really cared...and there are three more by pink kommandant that are just as bad. \*whimpers\* <br>     \*Begins beating head against the surprisingly heavy industrial-sized sander.\* If this post is out of line with the ranting, and not enough of the introductions, feel free to remove it…or just laugh at me. I don’t really care which.<br>--Honu_Wahine, a desperate former suethor

Mainly what I need are extra eyes to look things over and make sure I haven't missed anything--which I do, frequently; e.g. there's at least one broken link in the SIELU complex, and I don't remember where it is. I just remember spotting one while browsing where I'd typed "SIELE" instead of SIELU. >.
Re. apocrypha: I didn't know, either, until a couple of days ago. I came across a link to "Gemini Stone" on the Wiki, and since it was on Odd Lots, I was going to fix the link to point to the same story on Miss Cam's site. Only it has a different title ("Broken Doll") and a different number there. With the help of the Wayback Machine, I figured out why.

Crazy stuff!

And, thank you. {= )

Making your connection cry. I am aware of the issue, and I mean to try various things and see if I can't get the file sizes down without actually reducing the visibility. For example, I may divide them into rectangles and just place the pieces side by side. Would that help?

Speaking to the time commitment, time is all I have right now, so it isn't an issue for me. I do have a Derik & Earwig mission in the works, though--a Super Smash Bros. Gary-Stu, if you're curious. NOT my usual at all. O.o It was brought to my attention via the form on my website, and since it's the only time anyone has used the thing, I feel I need to see it through to set a good precedent. {= )

And, thanks. {= )

Jeeze, I'm terrible at these things. Um... well, here are some cookies to go with the cake. Technically they are Christmas cookies, but that's okay.

*lays out platter of Nutmeg Logs, Cream Wafers, and Spritz, because those are the only ones she knows how to make so far*

~Neshomeh

*sings* Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy BIRTH-

*glass shatters*

*flinch* Uh... Anyway. I think I'll have a little of that cake now. Good luck getting used to your new age! Have fun with that wisdom thing. It never quite did it for me, but maybe you'll have more luck. ;)

Yes to archiving! I didn't even know that Miss Cam was missing a story! Ah, the apocrypha of the PPC. :) Yes, also, on the question of editing TOS. With your innate awesomeness, I'd say that we can trust you to do it in a way that is respectful to the original canon.

I'd be happy to help however I can. :) Just let me know what I can do.

*Smiles* Thanks, I did it as research for a remake I plan to do. I only got two chapters worth of material. I've got a friend revising it. So I won't post anything just yet.
