The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Fun weather here - freezing fog overnight leaves tons of hoarfrost behind. We had snow, but it's mostly burned off by now.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's a flamer-proof (don't ask how) shield from the Raven Armory and a bottle of bleeprin in case of badfics. The story idea sounds interesting.

Now I have to resist the urge to link you to NSFB fi...il you do.

I did read the Original series, it was a good use of some time a while ago I've also read a couple other ones.

Yes, I know, the Genesis are a bit too crazy for this. I should have kept that one to myself, despite them being really cool and all. Forget everything I said about them.

Omega is fine though. I never liked that idea much.

As for my overly serious tone compared to the other stories, I guess that's just how I write. The world isn't a very nice place to me, and it shows in my writing. I'm sorry if my writing feels out of place, but it's what I do.

I've also managed to create a Sonichu article on the PPC wiki. It definitely deserves to be on the list of Legendary Badfic (Anyone who's seen it will probably agree with me).

You win this round. Until next time!

But I think I will resist.

Instead, I'm giving a Mad Cat from battletech.

Can I call you Max? Anyway, help yourself to a venomous arthropod!

How do you sing the chorus? Rachon le = Gloria, Labo vi Orodruin = in excelsis Deo?

... using your ideas for an original work, rather than a PPC-based one? I don't want to discourage you from joining or writing PPC-based stuff, but we decided as a community some while back that we'd had enough world-shaking events, and though I can't speak for the whole Board, my personal feeling is that what you're describing is more complicated than we're prepared to deal with right now. (I hope other people will speak up on the matter one way or another.)

This community was founded on a love of canon and light-hearted sporking. I don't know which PPC missions you've read, but you should read the Original Series, which is here: http://www.misssandman.com/PPC/story.html

Also, this is the article on Permission that Pads mentioned: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Permission

And finally, first poke! *pokes*

Welcome!

Is that chorus in Latin? Elvish? Something else I don't understand?

It was supposed to be:

Suethors We Have Heard On High (A tribute to the DMS, sorta)
Suethors we have heard on high
Blithely singing their foul songs,
And the characters reply
Applauding these monstrous wrongs.

Rhachon le, labo vi Orodruin!
Rhachon le, labo vi Orodruin!

Canons, why listen to this?
Why resign now to your fates?
Why do they bring you such bliss?
Do not fall for this snake's baits.

Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!
Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!

Come to Headquarters and see
Agents whose quest the Sues to sting;
With unmitigated glee,
They excel at their slaying.

Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!
Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!

Jay, Cassie Young, Laburnum
Acacia, Nat, Foxglove
Hunters of the Sue so dumb,
To them we raise hearts in love.

Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!
Rhachon le, Labo vi Orodruin!

*fails at life*

(I know Orodruin is a bit awkward, syllable-wise, but it still works.)

Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and, hey, it whisks eggs! It's also pretty useful for getting rid of those author wraiths and pesky spambots. Use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

Hey, another newbie onto whom I can pass my unwanted goods!

Have some gym socks, too!

Welcome.

Finally, I can hand this stuff off.

'm not allowed to drink it anymore, not after the Hot Fuzz incident. But I didn't want to waste it, ya know?

Welcome!

Here. Have a spider drone! It's a fairly cool 3.3 meter tall robot with a .50 Cal chaingun.
Enjoy, and welcome to the PPC!

Those are some... interesting ideas. Especially the transformation thing, that's both interesting and disturbing at the same time.

By the way, welcome to the Board. Have some chocolate.

Here's a rather gruesome transformation sequence from the second story:

_________________
Falras contorts into a bizarre shape. His hind legs fold up, and shift position, so they're in between his four arms.

They stretch and warp, making snapping and cracking noises all the while. Metallic feathers rip out, making them look like wings.

His spine grows in length at an extreme speed. Gore spews out of the gaping hole in his backside. Metallic veins begin to run along the newly made structure, looking like highly elaborate barbed wire.

His fur falls off at an alarming rate. His ribcage bursts open, exposing organs and metal tubing. The abomination's hands fall off, and four massive blades sprout from his bloody wrists while the arms stretch and extend.

And finally, his skull crumbles into a puppet-like blob, resembling a human head. It is perfectly smooth and featureless, compared to the rest of the jagged, disgusting form...

Now he does not speak. Only the sound of extremely loud breathing comes from him. The exposed skeleton is a polished chrome, and it's flesh is a dull metallic gray...
______________

That's a roughish draft of the transformation sequence. I'm hoping to make it more disgusting/gruesome than it already is.

As for the question about the PPC being sinister and the like, that's going to be the main thing in the third story, which I've only started. Some of the more familiar villains of the PPC will appear in the third one as well, as the other two that I've got anything written for have new enemies.

The bizarre Genesis are ancient beings, older than the PPC or even World One. They used to be the natural protectors of the myriad continua that they themselves created until World One was created. When World One was formed, the Genesis flew into a rage, crippling all the worlds that they had created and going into hibernation until one of the worlds they had created was restored. They can travel in between continua, and speak of things such as the "Natural Order", "The Mother" and "The Grand Amalgam" when they threaten and address the PPC.

There are two major threats in the second story that are new, at least to the PPC:

Omega are creatures that reproduce by destroying continua. They are the very threat the Genesis had to completely eradicate early on in the existence of everything itself. The transformation sequence I put up there earlier is a pretty good description of what one looks like. Poor Falras D:

And finally, The Grand Amalgam.

Mostly called that by the Genesis, it is better known to the PPC and World One as Sonichu, a webcomic that puts even the most disgusting of legendary badfic to shame. It must constantly absorb more continua in order to stay cohesive. If left to run, it would absorb all continua, and simply cease to exist due to the reality inside it being stretched to the very limit.

My bad. Um...I can't think of any iteration of that phrase that wouldn't sound creepy...

Quickly! I'll wait.

Welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't be needing it here.
^= mere formalities. Here, have a lovely bunch of coconuts.

I'm giving away all my Agents' friends and family members...

Oh, Glod, don't talk to me about rain.

Still, there's one thing to be said for global warming: I don't get trench foot every winter like I used to ten years ago. Just occasionally drown in the summer instead.
