In many of the dungeons and raids there are references to popular movies and books. One of the metals that you get to mine in the game is even mithryl.

I ran across these on the Pit the other day, and left some vaguely encouraging comments (probably too encouraging, in retrospect) suggesting she check out the Board. I think I also mentioned the wiki. The idea was to gently lead into 'hey, you need Permission to do this, and I'm pretty sure you don't have it' without seeming to be nasty about it (especially if it turned out that she did have it after all), and also to introduce her to a place where she could get some advice/concrit on her writing (which, as you have said, did need it rather badly).
At my first reading, it looked like she'd encountered The Original Series, but hadn't pursued things far enough to find out about the Board, wiki, Permission, etc., so I thought that it might be a good idea to introduce her to those things, since she was obviously keen. Primarily, though, I was just trying to find out if she was on the Board or not, so I could introduce her to the concept of Permission if necessary. I was expecting either to get a reply from the writer, or for her to introduce herself to the Board, rather than just posting stuff straight to the wiki.
In hindsight, though, I phrased things rather badly, which may have given her the wrong idea about the whole thing, and I probably should have linked her to the Permission page on the wiki as well. Apologies if I stuffed up. Anyway, if you want to start a dialogue, then she might respond to reviews on the story.
Btw, I also found these on the Pit: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3552696/1/PPCAnAgentsWorkIsNeverDone
Do they belong to anyone here?

If nobody has any idea who the writer is, chances are she/he didn't bother getting Permission, which is sort of not okay. The point of Permission is to have a bit of quality control on what gets posted in the name of the PPC, and my personal feeling is that Dusk Daybreak's missions really needed someone to have raised an eyebrow and asked some questions about the Sueishness of the agents.
I'd like for more of the Board to at least have a look at the article on the wiki and the attached discussion, if not read over the missions themselves, so there can be some more discussion about the matter. For one thing, I'm not sure how to proceed with trying to bring the writer into a dialogue with us, because so far our comments on the wiki have gone unnoticed or ignored--not a good sign. I hesitate to comment on the missions themselves until I have a better idea of what you all think, so please speak your piece.

Here, have an otter plushie, m'dear. It's soft and adorabibble, and if you say the correct phrase, it'll bust out into "Defying Gravity".
Happy birthday! :-D

Are you not familiar with snickerdoodles? They're cookies rolled in cinnamon and sugar before baking. They're very good for eating. *g*

I played WoW for about a week once and never really got into it but I see screenshots and videos that make it look so interesting. Maybe I was playing it wrong.

Here's a sabre from the Raven Armory. (And in case you run into any Sues that are sensitive to garlic, I've also added a bucket of garlic powder.)

It's meant to look like a dragon that is on fire.
Seems like it should be more metallic, though, since deathwing holds the title of the only dragon to fuse adimantium onto his skin.
What will make things interesting is the fact that one of the other four god-dragons is dead, another is probably busy in the dreamworld and may have turned evil, and yet another may currently have always been stuck fighting temporal anomalies possibly created by himself in the future.
That leaves one godlike dragon to fight deathwing, which is not percisely a fair matchup.

This sounds good. While I still cannot afford the game and its regular online payments, i've been paying attention to its universe for several years now, and I must say, I like what I see.
