The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

and considering my minimal ability with web pages, I'm probably not the best person to be involved with mirror sites, but in case anyone's wondering, geocities is going down entirely on October 26.

…if we made offline copies as well, just in case more host sites go fwoomp. (Also, I mean to give one of my sisters a binder full of PPC missions and goodfic for Christmas.)

I started putting the Oddlots site (or rather, the PPC section of it) onto one of my sites, here. A lot of the links are still dead (I haven't restored much beyond the Buffyverse missions and chargelist), but the Constitution is up there. So it'd work for now, until I can get internet access back long enough to finish the job.

hS

I know someone has a copy of the constitution we can put somewhere (the Wiki?), and I also know someone was undertaking to save some of the Geocities sites.

I don't remember who either of these people are, because my memory is full of holes. Like cheese. I like cheese...

But anyway, I will volunteer to save the JAAKSONS, the Handbook, and SIELU to start with. I'd be happy to host the Handbook and at least the FicPsych bit of the JAAKSONS, too. I'm a little leery of putting a bunch of other people's stuff where they can't get to it, but if we decide we want to do that... *shrug*

Actually. What if we started up a website just for mirroring this stuff? I happen to like Tripod better than Freewebs for the most part, and they do offer a lot of storage. I haven't even begun filling my StarShadow Hall space (which includes my PPC stuff), and I've been using it for years.

This is just for starters. I've got plenty of links in my PPC bookmarks that are on Geocities that need saving, too. I can provide a list when I'm back on the computer that actually has those bookmarks on it.

We have a lack of a link to the constitution right now, and the PPC page on Cam's site has a defunct link to the board.

Beyond that, a lot of geocities sites seem to be kinda dead and if not dead will soon be dead, and Oddlots has disappeared into the ether.

Obviously this is not a job a July intends to volunteer to fix singlehandly since that's not possible, so I'm pointing this out to everyone else, since more people results in more fantastic explosions.

Thoughts? Solutions? Suspensions? Colloids? *puns*

I used to have a rather huge callus on my middle finger from writing; it hasn't come back for a year or so, though, probably because I'm splitting my writing fairly equally between notebook and computer (or maybe it'll reappear in high school, who knows).

My Agents would have made a mess out of it. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Sorry to be late. Had a job interview too. (it didn't work)

I think it'd make sense to not use them anymore if their original occupants are in limbo, and in the case of reusing numbers leave that to the original occupants' writer's choice?

*has already updated her stuff*

I've been wondering about the list of RCs, though. I'm not sure it makes sense to open that up to everyone to edit, since someone needs to have a handle on RCs that are already taken, but just people who are top-level admins on the Wiki, perhaps?

I'm wondering because I'd like to transfer RC #1110 to Agents Derik and Earwig and haven't been sure you're around to ask. {= )

Also, are "dead" RCs like sports numbers that get retired when their occupants retire?

Hi, everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it?

As some of you may know, I am (or have been) in charge of updating the most complete list of PPC missions to date. This list was on the PPC livejournal here. I still intend to update it as often as I can; however, since the PPC has expanded and new missions are coming in thick and fast, I no longer have the time to spend on updating every chapter count and new series.

With that in mind, I have moved the Complete List of PPC Fiction to the PPC wiki.

The index and update tips can be found here:

http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/TheCompleteListofPPC_Fiction

Note: If any of you have spin-offs or missions that appeared after the "last update date" at the bottom of the page, don't hesitate to update the List! Those stories aren't linked there yet. I hope that this can help get our archiving up to speed. Hopefully, the "complete" list will really be complete!

There may also be dead links on that page; if you spot one, please feel free to fix it.

Thanks so much for your help!

People occasionally look at this board in places where passing people glancing over their shoulders would be most bemused, angry or horrified to see the words HORSE PORN, e.g. work and school. It isn't nice to have to answer questions about why your screen has HORSE PORN written all over it.

Just a tip :)

I hadn't actually meant it as PPC material -- it was me who pointed out that people can do what they like in their own universes -- but decided it was similar enough to the general purpose of the PPC not to need an OT tag. I'll remember tht in the future.

*waves flag maked "Go NA!"

To quote WarriorJoe:

Soon all shall be made clear, and the doom of the world be revealed.

I can't claim to know the doom of the world, but I can make this much clear: You've been banned.

Not that I don't share your horror at the awful writing, but I'm not sure it's strictly relevant to us here. As someone pointed out, people are allowed to do what they like in their own universes, whether we like it or not. I, for one, would prefer to exist in blissful ignorance of anything like this unless it's fanfic-related and therefore defaming something I know and love. {= P

... If anything, that might be MORE masochistic, but still. In future, a note of O/T at least should be included in the title. That way there's no confusion about why we've just subjected ourselves to the squick.

~Neshomeh, going to spork the horrible prose out of her eyes.
