The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I'm not an avid fan, but I am a minor fan of the series. I just don't have the means of watching the series often. That fic was truly horrible, though. They should never mess with canon like that. Never.

Here's a nice shield from the Raven Armory. (Sorry about the belated welcome.)

But will only post my favorites.

Doctor Who

"Rose has met her universe's Doctor, and she loves his scarf. His wife's not bad either. Together on the edge of space (once every Friday, anyway) they've formed their own little cozy brand of domestic. But when her Doctor comes looking for her, the one she knows now has got a few things to say to him."

"DH Spoilers Was it possible to save two lives without altering history? Was it possible to given them a future twenty years after they had supposedly died? Teddy Lupin thought so..."
LOVE-a DH AU done right.

"Don't touch it!" Teddy shouted, but since when had James started obeying commands? He turned the hourglass and the world around them started spinning... and spinning... and spinning."

"Teddy Lupin is one of three famous orphans to have graced the halls of Hogwarts. He thinks he knows what he wants in life. But will he go the way of Tom Riddle or Harry Potter? Post DH, TL & VW, first ever fanfic! please read"
It really is better then it looks- a different take on Teddy then most fanfics.

Insanely gory, creepy, mindscrewy fun. With cute little fluffy animals. Who die in horrible ways. What's not to love?

Also "Mary Mordor Sue": <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/953329/1/MaryMordorSue">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/953329/1/MaryMordorSue
Even more insanely gory, creepy, and mindscrewy. I've been tossing around the idea for a Redwall fic loosely based on this for ages but never got round to it.

Any fics written by these people are good:

Yeah, those were the type of in-jokes I was mainly referring to, not so much the history of the PPC itself.

Sedri: Yes, we are writing for ourselves. However, it's simply a characteristic of good writing to make the details of your story easily accessible to your readership. If we continue with your Star Trek metaphor, no, they don't explain the entire history of the Federation in each episode. However, when put into context, the events of the story are generally pretty easy to figure out.

...agreed, agreed, agreed. The reason I haven't been around here much has nothing to do with the influx of newbies (hell, we need newbies, and I for one welcome them with open arms) as much as it does with the sheer amount of drama and random PPC-wide emergencies that have been going on for quite a while.

And frankly, I don't care for it. Makes-Things is still alive in my personal canon, and he's going to stay that way for quite a while if I have anything to say about it.

I renamed Komodo Joe. He is now Komodo Greg. Thanks for calling me on that; no idea what I was thinking.

You just took my PGing virginity, so you damn well better write good missions in future.

Well, in mine and Trojie's case, a link to TOS wouldn't help much - it'd explain the PPC set-up, but most of our in-jokes come from the fact we've so many missions under our belts. And we like to have preamble and closing scenes about the agents, so there's been a lot of character development, and it's there the confusion comes in. We've a nice tidy sticky post with links to all our missions, but that's a lot to wade through. So we've been putting together a brief introduction to the RC#45 Soap Opera, for anyone who wanders in and is hideously confused. Hopefully it'll help.

True, non-PPCers will read our missions, but people unfamiliar with Star Trek might fall into the middle of a Deep Space Nine episode about the Dominion War - the writers aren't requried to re-explain the history of the Federation in ever episode. That's what running series do. We don't need high ratings to keep going - we don't have to pay for advertisements - and essentially, we are writing for ourselves, so if someone loses interest... a shame, but it shouldn't run our 'lives', methinks.

That said, we could sidestep most of the problem by just putting an author's note with a link to The Original Series at the top of every mission.

Just my two cents.

... *slaps self on wrist*

Oh, and while we're owning up to things...

I still don't, technically speaking, have Permission.

So, um... *casts puppy eyes at PGs*

... and, going by hS mentioning Monty in a canon mission now, a non-anthropomorphic goose. Why is the orangutan unusual?

... because they get away with too much. I, and they, do know this, but I just couldn't resist doing stuff like the Trees thing.

I've been writing PPC a few years now, so I tend to forget what's general knowledge and what's more specialised. But we'll try and be more explanatory in future.

No hard feelings, right?

What I was trying to do with Chliever was testing to see if it COULD work. But, you're right. I'll try to make at least some people less accepting of him. In my next mission, I'll be examining exactly WHAT happens when he loses control of himself.

Thank you for your concern. I had kind of a feeling you were being petty for reasons other than this, and you let it spill over. We all do it.

Your stories did spring to mind as far as in-jokes and PPC drama go, but you obviously realise that :P Do know that I've enjoyed most of them immensely.

I don't see the deliberately awful selection of smutfic as a problem; it's what distinguishes them from many others. Trojie and Pads are the Revolting!Fic agents. Nothing wrong with having a… damnit, I know there’s a right word for this. I’ll go with distinctive stylization and theme for now, maybe it will come to me later.

"Why the hell do we have a sentient orangutan in the PPC?"

Possibly a Librarian reference from Discworld?

:P

I really have no idea, I haven't come across said orangutan yet, but this is what immediately sprang to mind.

I recommend anything (particularly Redwall) written by QuinlanOfRedwall: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/614754/QuinlanofRedwall

Seriously, his stories are incredibly well thought-out. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was BJ himself writing that stuff.
