I love these sorts of questions.

In some ways I guess capitalisation falls under punctuation, because it exists at the start of a sentence in order to give clarity, the same way that commas, full stops and so on do - they don't change the meaning of the word either (strictly speaking; if a sentence ran on with no commas it could get ambiguous, but to keep it simple...). On the other hand, the apostrophe is definitely a punctuation mark, but it does change the meaning of the word in a similar way to how "Earth" and "earth" are different.

So where do we draw the lines? :D

Have a bunny-shaped plush.

He's one of the tougher Flowers. With his job, he has to be. {= P Anyway, I don't see any problem with the scenarios you describe. Seems to me the worst that can happen is that the agent will end up passing out from either a lack of oxygen in the first case (followed by a visit to FicPsych and possibly prescription sedatives) or a minor concussion in the second. This sort of thing happens all the time around here. {= )

As for proving themselves, it seems to me that extremely powerful and unrestricted technology in the hands of someone that unstable is a Bad Idea and something the Flowers would tend to avoid. We wouldn't want something like this to happen. So, perhaps if they prove themselves, then they can have one.

... On the other hand, I just got a mental image of a TARDIS with training wheels. I'm not sure how one would put training wheels, metaphorical or otherwise, on a TARDIS, but that's beside the point. The thing could be programmed to immediately return to HQ and then power down if it senses dangerous levels of insanity in its occupants. Or something.

I gift thee with...an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and hey, it whisks eggs! Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy your stay. ^_^

I notice that people have been mentioning the Wiki, but I don't recall anyone giving you a link. So, here's a link to the PPC Wiki. The article on Permission is particularly enlightening.

Beware the Legendary Badfic. Reading them is not recommended. Even the summaries can strip sanity.

Welcome, please leave your sanity in the receptacle provided by someone else and enjoy your stay.

PS. The Floaters are always looking for new bodies to help out with all kinds of badfic.

Oh well, better out myself now. I have read Twilight and the sequels. I liked it.

Don't kill me.

Albeit, I get the criticism and I laugh at the parodies and whatnot. I understand why some don't like it and I would bet if I was in a different mindset when reading the series, I very well may have been on the other side of the fence.

I figure it's on a very delicate balance with me, and the fanfiction that is written about it is all too easily going to head in a bad direction.

Thought to offer another viewpoint on the series. :)

... having that number of fetishes is perfectly normal among furry characters, though generally their authors actually INTEND them to be there.

Also made him sound like a rapist. I quote, "now feel the pain that so many innocent young girls like her have felt before but with oh so much more intensity". And apart from his list of weird paraphilias, he must also have the lung capacity of a whale to be able to say all that in one breath.

I believe the others have already said everything you need to know, so I'll just scare you with a VERY LARGE HINT that the DMS is the best department to work in (as well as the most in need of new blood agents.

some of the anti-Twilight stuff at Anti-Shur'tugal?

Anti-Shur'tugal is dedicated mainly to Inheritance sporking, but there's also some good Twilight sporking. I haven't read either series, but I still love to read people rant against it.

Well, I didn't want to risk having a future Agent screaming in the Marquis de Sod's office... Certain risks are not worth taking. And I don't want an Agent banging his head on the much too small RC's walls either. Maybe if they prove themselves they can keep the TARDIS...

Mmm mmmm mmm. Nothing like hot, steamy, Fullmetal Alchemist badfic. May I present, "Newbies."

This one stuck out for a number of reasons, mostly the premise. OK, so, the US Senate makes a law so that there are now ten deadly sins, and apparently, this means the Homunculi need to go recruiting. So they bring the Sue and her cat from our world to theirs, and turn them into Homunculi.

Homunculi being what they are, this might be a pretty hard kill.

What if you didn't give it to the agent in question right away, but let him or her spend a few missions in an RC, wanting a TARDIS? Maybe there's a shortage for some reason--maybe the Doctor Who continuum called and asked for most of them back, since the Crisis has been over for some time now. I wonder what he or she would do in order to get one. It would be interesting to read about that. {= )

~Neshomeh, who also thinks that instant gratification is no fun.

Just type your name in the "author" bar every time you post. It's easier. Unfortunately, this also means that trolls can impersonate us when they want to, but the real Boarder will eventually come along and smack the impostor poster with a wet noodle.

My brother Zotz plays it. He hasn't been to the Board in a while because he spends all his time on the computer playing the computer game, and all his time off the computer painting his models. Or eating. Or sleeping.
I've read some of the books. Reading is cheap, especially when Zotz buys the books because he is so obsessed and then I steal them because I am so sneaky. Mwahaha!
I've read Twilight.
Don't read Twilight.
Gary-Stu gets Mary-Sue pregnant, despite the fact that he actually has no blood... Major biology FAIL! And every day, someone new is surprised that I don't like Twilight, because- OMG! She wears black! She must like Twilight! OMG! Aargh. Okay, rant over.

That html is used, not bbc (I think that's the code for message boards like invisionfree).

Welcome, by the way.

It's not yet up, but profiles and sample are on my InsaneJournal

You can fool them with the Hedge into thinking it's a shrubbery. It provides a distraction while you slip away. You see, they haven't decided yet whether a Hedge is a type of shrubbery or vice versa.

Awesome. Good luck to ye, and send me a link when it's up!

But won't they be wanting shrubberies?

Eek!

Again, this was posted by me. Forgot to log in >_>

Whoops, the above post was me

Why thank you. Fear not, I know the walnut will never threaten to stab me
