The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I didn't even start the trail that led, among other places, to the PP...il sometime in '04. I know I knew about this place by the time I graduated in June '05, but the first time I accessed the Board was November/December '06.

That generally things like that should be left open to someone who will actually be writing in those divisions or involving those Flowers; not everything needs to be decided at once, and not everything needs to be decided or suggested by one person.

Just because it's unknown doesn't mean we have to fill it out immediately.

I don't know if PPC continuity established on The Board is "official" or not, but I noticed that the Heads of several Divisions are unknown. So, for your approval, I'd like to submit some suggestions for Heads, and if you like them, would they be considered canon?

They are:

Historical Inaccuracies Division - Saffron Crocus (moved here when its department closed)
Timeline Distortions Division - Pitcher Plant

Physics Division - Kelp (mentioned once in the lone Department of Bad Parody story and hasn't been seen since)
Trans-Normal Accountancy Division - Raffelesia

The remaining two, DAVD Intelligence and DAVD Medical, will be revealed in Chliever and Winston's next mission, in which they visit Medical.

What does the all-knowing Board think?

... are still saved offline, and backed up a couple of times.

I'm also in the long process of saving off the DMFF missions and throwing them up on Livejournal, since their website went down a few years ago. I should get back to that.

I have been copying various PPC adventures to offline files, in groups of twenty-five. I would recommend that others follow suit with their favorite missions.

This is because sometimes a website folds and is not backed up on the Wayback Machine.

I can't recall if we've met or not. I joined April-ish last year. But hello, anyway. I certainly recall reading your name in older stuff. Nice to meet you.

Have a Sky Bison!

Laced with Anti-Lustin, of course.

It's your choice.

Here is your birthday present: a sack of pebbles, a customised sling and a basket of Bleeprin-berries! Have fun!

Cos, I swears it, I've never come across this 'adult' concept before.

Thank God it's 'only' a theory ...

Have a pet Dwemer centurion.

Or invading Wales.

In theory.

This person is keeping the same basic characters, same basic plotline and events, et cetera.  However, it's being completely re-written:  The characters are being de-Sueified, the plot holes are being filled in, and the setting is getting superimposed over the Generic Locations.

As one might imagine, the original author (who has a very thin skin and no sense of humor) is in a massive snit about it.  As I hear it, she actually got the rewrite run off a fanfic site by crying plagiarism. 

Having read both the original piece and what existed of the re-write as of when the Suethor threw a fit...the re-write is no more "plagiarism" of the original piece than this is of this. 

Well, it's novel if they take the actual fic, and keep the name of the OC and such.

I've done something similar. I took the plot of the fic, the canon characters involved and added my own OC. Currently working on something like that, except that I took plot where the CC is supposed to do something no sane person would do voluntarily. And I still haven't thought of anything good to coax hem with.

Anyway, a rewritten OC so it's no longer a Sue is less work for the PPC.

I saw your reply to a post above this one and had almost posted a long time no see reply to your comment. Till I figured you would probably have left a post saying you were back.

I think not automatically assuming someone is a newbie if we haven't seem them post a thread before and they don't say they're a newbie might be a bit more sensible.

Since I know KG is in the vague state/geographic area as my dad grew up in, and I could have picked it up from my dad.

Don't take this too personally- unlike me- but tact is highly suggested when the people shown as examples are named.
