The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

So I've decided to just bite the bullet and open "Scouring a Blue Soap" to public view. 

Constructive criticism is, of course, welcome.

Welcome to the PPC! Here's another Sue-killing weapon. *hands over a special dagger* It comes from the Raven Armory.

Well, I don't like Eragon himself, but I do like the witch Angela, and Murtagh. I wonder what the real-life Angela thought about the movie portrayal of her character as a cross between Tia Dalma and a stripper?

Everybody say it with me! *chants*

Welcome to the PPC! Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *holds out bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* We don't have much of a use for it here. I've never met you, but I'm going to hug you anyhow- and here is the Unnatural Axe to aid you in your killing certain fics very dead. Enjoy!

Hello there.

I'm Rose, or Azrael,(Or Az, Azzi, Ella... whichever you prefer) and I'm... new here? Ish?

I've been a fan of LotR and such since before I could read, and have on more than one occasion wanted to kill certain fics very dead...

Um.... I'm not really sure what to say about myself, other than that.

The cake will taste like your favorite flavour, and the Towel is good for cleaning up any messes (well, spilled blood, at least; we're not yet sure about other fluids).

As the others have already said everything of importance (and I swear, you're getting far more interesting welcome gifts than I did ~two years ago), I'll leave it at that.

And watch out for the random silliness!

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

Welcome to the insanity!

Fortunately, if I do miss the bus, I can just wait seven hours for the evening express train home, which is only £9.

Note to self: take a BIG book.

So what would backtracking involve? Finding another route through luck? Or do they announce diversions and whatnot? And do excuse my total lack of knowledge; only been to London once, a decade ago, and round my end it's shanks' pony all the way.

But if there are no friendly-looking chaps behind desks, how does one go about, you know, paying and so forth?

Here's a cool coupon to get a free item at the Raven Armory. It's nice to meet you.

You'll be pushing it. If there's any delays, you'll be in trouble. Victoria -st pancras on the Victoria line only takes twenty minutes/half an hour (did it every weekend last summer), but add ~20 minutes to walk from the coach station.

But, yeah, as hS said, get the Victoria line, and it's a straight trip. Since you'll have already done it one way you shouldn't have to worry about getting lost. Make sure you check the closures the week before hand - they have a tendency to take out the tube you need when you need it, and it's always better to know before you get to the station and have to suddenly backtrack.

There should be security guards around, but in all honesty, the best thing is to look for signs for Victoria Line {(Southbound) in KCStP, (Northbound) in Victoria}. They should show a map with light blue for the Victoria line. If you get really lost you can ask someone, though.

Now all I have to do is figure out the tube itself. I take it there's not going to be anything so simple as a friendly-looking chap behind a desk who exchanges money for tickets and points you in the right direction?

It runs in a loop (hence Circle) that goes through both King's Cross St Pancras station and Victoria station. KCStP is linked directly to St Pancras main-line station, and Victoria is half a mile north-east of the coach station. On the way there you'll need to make sure you head for Victoria coach station rather than Victoria bus station (which is local), and on the way back... it /should/ take about half an hour to go round the Circle line, so you should be okay.

Alternately, you could take the Victoria line, which runs from KCStP to Victoria in about a third of the distance. Given how often the Circle line is closed for works, thaaaat's probably a better bet. And faster, too.

Incidentally, Luxury is coming!

*bangs head against wall, keyboard and other hard objects* Can I kill it? Or do you want to join the Warriors division at least part-time? Either way, Kierra wants the pelts to make a far too brightly-colored rug out of. Why do people do this to us? I advise, since it seems to be a live clan, or at least acts like one, steal any redeemable cats, and then blow the place up. I don't care if they are dead, somebody is going to kill them again. If they have somewhat canonical names and aren't complete sues, Nocia can work on rehabilitating them. Also the kits might be okay if they don't have stupid fur colors or if the canon snaps them to regular cat colors. *stabs pillow in lieu of fic's author*

and technically, no longer a part of that universe.
Detonate the Reality Bomb. >D

Seeing as nobody's done it yet... *drags out Big Bag O' Links*

First off is the link to the Wiki, a veritable fount of information for a newbie to read through. Especially helpful for you if you want to write missions would be the page on Permission (note the capital P).

I would advise against reading any Legendary Badfic, unless you are of strong mind and stomach. Even the summaries have been known to give those of weaker constitution nightmares.

For your reading pleasure, not knowing what you have already managed to find, I have several links for you. The Original Series (not to be confused with Star Trek) is a good place to start, as the PPC did many aeons ago. What do you mean I'm exaggerating? The Department of Geographical Aberrations is another interesting place to visit, if you have the time and inclination. Also by hS is the Tangled Webs site, which contains backstory for the PPC as an organisation. If you would rather visit the Floaters, then July's site is the place you need to be. And last, but most definitely not least, Response Centre 45 is where Trojie and Pads' missions are archived.

Hope you enjoy your stay here. Please deposit your sanity into the container offered to you by another Boarder; you won't be needing it here.

I'm trying to sort tickets to go and see my sister next month. The way there's alright - five hour break between buses, which is plenty of time to work out how the hell to get from London St Pancras to Victoria coach station. The way back's a bit more troublesome - it's the same journey in reverse but with only an hour available. Given that London confuses the hell out of me and the odds of me getting hopelessly lost are reasonably high, does anyone know if I can actually make that journey in the allotted hour? tfl.gov.uk is being spectacularly unhelpful in working this out.

Feel free to stick around, in fact, we encourage you to if you want to do so~.

Have an Unusually Upgradeable Chainsword. It is, as the name implies, much more upgradeable than a standard chainsword. That may or may not include laser blade tips, a flamethrower (although there is a rather convenient slot for flamethrowers), or a limitless power source of unspecified origin.
