The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Scene Six - Sabbat and Archer Break Out has been redone with new vocals by Fynn! Much better quality and so forth now.

Enjoy, and more scenes will hopefully be coming soon.

We're also still keen to hear from anyone interested in doing art for the project - anything from character sketches, ideas for sets, backgrounds, weaponry to actual illustrations of scenes, and anyone fancying doing extra voice acting - we still have a few Sues and Stus who need their dying words recorded for posterity, and if anyone has a few spare moments with a microphone then screams, maniacal laughter, crying, giggles for background noises will always be gratefully received.

Why are we losing all the geek icons?

Added some minor modifications, hope it helps.

I don't know for the happy pills either, but I hope to know very fast as I know some people who would need them IRL. Maybe lithium in the water did the trick.

Anyway, thanks. It's the first time I write in third person.

To the PPC.

and sorry, not sure about the list.

Have a notebook to write down what you learn about the PPC.

There are a few minor goofs in spelling and punctuation, but that's nothing a beta-reader won't catch. There are plenty of people on the Board who will be happy to help you out on that score.

I'd like to know who gave the Marquis happy pills. Maybe the Kudzu finally convinced him to work on his anger management skills. Hm.

My only other comment is that the dialogue seems a bit stilted, like they're reading lines. One thing you can do to improve that is to listen to people talk, obviously, but another thing you might try is reading aloud to yourself. If you have a friend who won't mind the weirdness of the PPC, you could ask them to read for you, too. It'll become clear pretty quickly what sounds strange and what doesn't.

Anyway, it's a good start. Thanks for being receptive to critique. {= )

I guess now he and Mr. Gygax can DM together again in the after, whatever that may be.

The RC of Agents Suicide, Diocletian, and Ithalond is here: http://www.geocities.com/sixtyofnine2138/index.html

Remember, if you want to use them for anything, you have to ask me first.

I cannot find them anymore.

Having a father who's an ex-DM, and thus a house filled with original D & D material...

*sighs*

At least they won't be forgotten any time soon.

I like the Inheritance cycle. Not because of Eragon himself, because of Angela. She is totally awesome. I wonder what the real-life Angela thought of the character's portrayal in the movie? (cross between Tia Dalma and a stripper) Watch out for ferrets!

Meh, I hate it when I learn about a cool guy only at the moment of his death.

Same for Gary Gygax: never heard of him until his death, but I know I should have known him.

Good thing it changed, then. Well, I think it was long ago, as I never go across a photo proving it.

Writing sample modified according to suggestions. "Training wheels" will be dealt with in subsequent missions (put on the TARDIS once they have it, and then removed one by one as the team becomes more and more successful (and more stable!!!))

Anyone mind if I use this one for my first PPC outing? I know I've still got the month pre-deadline and some reading up to do, but at least this is a fairly simple Mary Sue take-down to 'get my foot in the door' so to speak.

As for killing a Homunculi, well, there are ways. Repeatedly killing them until they run out of 'lives' would be the obvious one.

Of all the "sins" she could have picked... *eyeroll* Even for a comedy...

Although, considering that his title makes the least sense, Illegal Immigration is the closest to a real character.

Well, I'll think about this, I posted a sample on my InsaneJournal (I liked to there in this thread), if you could give me feedback, it would be appreciated.

Confirmed from multiple sources, including a personal e-mail from his family. I stumbled upon it on /tg/, who referred me to here:

For those of you not into the role-playing scene, Arneson was Gary Gygax's partner-in-crime on Dungeons and Dragons.

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. :)
