I know several of us have tried to get published, at least. I defer to anyone with a better memory than mine on the subject.
It sounds like a genius idea - count me in for a short story or two.

Just an ambitious idea... by

Has anyone ever wondered if a few of the best PPCers, working together, could conceivably write something of a high enough quality to be published? Either a novel or a collection of short stories?
Not something of the PPC, of course. Fanfiction and its tropes are not well-known enough to write novels about, and the "meta" side of fanfiction (Mary Sues, 'shipping, etc) is only studied by a handful of Internet nerds. But the general concept of a bunch of cynical and Genre Savvy characters exploring fictional universes, with loads of unconventional humor (Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett-style) and a healthy dose of postmodernism, certainly has a place on the shelves of a library.
It's just an idea thrown in the wind, not a project.

So, I'm imagining Ross Tyler to actually be a miniature (like, foot-high) genderswapped version of Rose. This is an amazing mental picture, this.

Then again, I have a few more days before my schoolyear starts, and I do have a very large water minigun with an unmelting ice-elemental stone embedded in the water tank. Even more dakka!
