The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

If by "three sheets" you mean "three bottles of wine", Sedriface, then yes, I was. What gave it away?

So long as my betaing services won't be required on Christmas Eve or Day, then count me in. Generally the going rate for it these days is you have to persuade Ansela to keep me supplied with tea throughout, but she's pretty pliant so that shouldn't be too hard.

Thank you, thank you.

It's supposed to snow here today. *imagines snowboarding wistfully*

Have you tried Google documents? It's an online word processor, that uses a lot less RAM than Word, doesn't eff up as often, saves all work online so documents don't take up hard drive space, can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection and, best of all to me, allows you to share documents for beta reading and cowriting. You can do spreadsheets and presentations on there as well.

And the board that shall not be named is handling it admirably, IMHO

I wrote it in Notepad. Notepad sucks when it comes to some things, but it saves space. Writing it in Microsoft Word just didn't make sense to me.

And yes, I know, I've got an insane amount of ideas. Blame my highly overactive imagination for that.

It's probably considered it's own established canon not to protect it from sues and the like, but because if it wasn't... The entire PPC would have an insanely big problem on their hands, as it'd damage the affected continua beyond all repair.

It's still one of the worst things to crawl out of the internet though, that's for sure.

...but it's not how we write. And it's not what we at the PPC are about. I have nothing against serious stories, but if you want to write a spin-off that becomes part of the PPC universe, you can't take your story (or your characters) too seriously.

To quote Neshomeh from an earlier post:

"On that note, I'd like to talk about the spirit with which the PPC was intended. I've noticed a disturbing trend among newer members toward levels of power and aggression, completely unmitigated by an appreciable sense of humor, that I have no doubt would make Jay and Acacia regret ever leaving the PPC for others to write about.

Get this into your heads: The PPC is NOT about who can be the coolest, most badass agent. It is NOT about who has the biggest, most explosive toys. It is NOT about who can handle the most disgusting smutfic. It is NOT about doing something that no one has done before. It is NOT, and I stress this in particular, about making sense.

The PPC, in a nutshell, is NOT a pissing contest.

The PPC is about humor, good writing, humor, good writing, and, yes, humor. If your goal is anything but both humor and good writing, then please go away. I'm serious about this. I like seeing new people come in, I really do, but I'm sick of people thinking they need to improve the PPC, be it with novelty, expansion, logic, or anything else."

So, welcome to the Board...and I would like to see what you have written so far before giving Permission.

I thnk it was decided that Sonichu, and the whole CWC-verse, is its own established canon.

Much like we can't kill Bella Swan or Edward Cullen, we can't kill Sonichu or Christian, much as we'd love to.

Our beloved Pads is fondly known as a Grammar Nazi for good reason. Don't take it personally. She's right, of course - she always is - but I suspect she's also three sheets to the wind right now - aren't you, love?

But as said, she's right. We've had people come in before with Very Big Ideas that were almost all politely turned down for reasons very similar to why I imagine yours will. It's very possible to redeem them, of course - ever Mary Sues can be redeemed - but... well, I think I've said this already in my other post, so I won't repeat it.

Also, Pads, if you read this, I may have a very massive beta job coming up in a few weeks. There'd be a tight time limit, but are you interested?

You are a genius. A genius.

And how to overthrow them.

Would Super Robot Wars fall under a Crossover Fic that needs to be dealt with the Lichen? Just wondering...

Greetings, life-form. I come bearing dice. You now have a full set...if a full set means 300 d12's and a d30.

I am fairly new here, but I have to say...some of what I see has me worried. I think that you should listen to the advice of Neshomeh and the rest and run your ideas past someone who has been around awhile. Run it past several someones, just to get a better sample.

Anyways, have fun and don't eat in the cafeteria if it can be avoided.

Not since the "incident..."

It means "Curse you, go throw yourself into Mt. Doom."

It means "Curse you, go throw yourself into Mt. Doom."

*proffers her obligatory plate of lembas*

Such enthusiasm is good to see, but I think you're taking the whole thing a bit more seriously than it's meant :) We're a place for having fun at the expense of badfic, not for SRSFACE dystopic worldbuilding at the expense of fanfic :)

Have a poke around on the Wiki and you'll get the idea :D

Welcome!

Why the new line for every sentence? Why the present tense? If you must keep the present tense, that first "so" really doesn't fit. The narration seems a little too far removed from the action, for present tense. I think the short version of this paragraph is: fancy a detailed beta on this one?

Seconding the notion already expressed that you seem to have some Very Big Ideas here. Very Big Ideas need to be run past everyone and discussed before being implemented; we're playing in a shared world here, remember, and if someone changes everyone's lego into sticklebricks without warning, it ruins the game.

This doesn't sound like it's going to be in the spirit of the PPC, so please run your ideas by the Board and Permission Givers before you go planning grand-scale sagas.

That said, welcome! First pincushion!

My family's not big on Christmas - actually, we're about as unChristmasy as you can get without not giving presents all together. I grew up annoyed by most Christmas carols - especially the overtly religious ones - and never bothered to sing them. Usually once I start singing something they're branded in my mind forever, but these melodies tend to escape me.
