... we can only do the Saturday anyway, but it's a good idea to give the option for both days. We've had a couple of Gatherings where people could only do one or the other, so it came out as two Gatherings with a few common people between them. So you might have Kaitlyn and me on the Saturday, but Laburnum on the Sunday. Other people could go to both, or just one, or whatever.
As to organising it, that basically comes down to picking a meeting place and time, and giving an estimate of when it would end. If there's something several people want to do, it'd be an idea to meet there, but at the least the meeting place needs to be near a train station, preferably at a major landmark. London has lots of train access, of course, so it's pretty dependent on where people want to be.
Um, so yeah. Date, time, place. And then put together a list of who's said they'll go, so you know who's not made it.

And the answer is: my muse tends to strike from above like a ninja with a sledgehammer, so inspiration comes in random and huge bursts of creativity, which I risk life and limb to write down before they leave me. In a pinch I've been known to write particularly funny riffs on my own leg.
As to the DLG's backstory? It would definitely be fun to write, but it may take some time for me to get my act together. I'll just have to scream "Work, minion!" at myself for a while.

AGH, changed around the wording of that sentence and forgot to fix the "As". I lose ten glory points.

Ah, more fresh blood! Welcome, my fellow new meat. You will be thrown to the dogs once the paperwork is processed.
In other words, you should be fine. As I'm still new myself and have nothing to hand out yet, so you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!

Mini-Bison for Air Nomads, mini-Dragons for Fire Nationals, mini-Badgermoles for Earth Kingdom subjects...
Dangit, the Water Tribe learned bending from the Moon, that's not gonna work. I suppose that's where we can fit in the mini-Unagi.
And for characters not involved with any Nation, like Guru Pathik (who I have a feeling may eventually have quite a few), mini-Lion Turtles.

I would like to imagine you do it by taking them to a fate outside of their universe. It's definitely not unheard of-- my mind recalls directly the famous Redneck Trees Death of those two mooks from the Ferahgo installment of That Series, for one.
So, if they're taken beyond the constantly-resetting surroundings of their universe, a HTF Sue should stop being impossible to kill.

You should fix that - it should be Zam Wesell. I don't think your Agent would want to go after a mini-Rancor.
By the way, welcome. Have a large shiny crystal which may or may not be a random giant refractor from the Megaman Legends universe.

Just felt like sharing.
Name: Adrienne Marten (Agent Adder to you)
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Continuum: Real World
Department: Floaters
Personality: A bit overenthusiastic at times, and often quick to retaliate. It's relatively easy to annoy her. One of the best ways is to interrupt her while she's talking. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty, but she has a slight phobia of continual beeping (made worse by the inevitable console), and she hates fascists. At certain points, she will mutter/snarl/scream in Spanish.
Appearance: Rather tall and broad for a girl, with long mousey brown hair and glasses. On most occasions, she dresses like a guy.
Name: Deuce
Species: Human?
Gender: Male
Age: He says he's thirteen and he looks thirteen, but Adder's beginning to wonder what he means by 'just physically'.
Continuum: That's the funny thing. He's from an original fiction that has not yet been published, so I guess you could say his continuum doesn't exist. Yet.
Department: Floaters
Personality: Snide, sarcastic, morbid, and a just a little bit arrogant, unless confronted with a particularly nasty badfic. Adder considers him a Pyro, which he most definitely is. He reacts negatively to stature jokes. And by 'reacts negatively', I mean 'attacks you, most likely with fire'.
Appearance: He's the exact opposite of Adder: short for his age, and wiry. This, however, comes with the advantage of speed. He has blue eyes, and dresses in standard teenager attire of a hooded sweatshirt and geans. Oddly enough, his hair is a muted shade of gray, and he has three parallel slash marks across his left eye. Adder once asked him what happened to his face, to which he replied, "Same thing that's gonna happen to yours if you don't shut up." (for the record, she shut up.)
These two are also aided by Cthulhu the ferret, who was a gift from Lycaenion. For their pictures, a few more facts, and some personal quotes, here's a link: http://av-marten.deviantart.com/art/Here-comes-the-neighborhood-114805397

Hey, welcome to the Board~.
As is what I do- when no one else takes the chance from me, I present you, the newbie, with a Pile of Links.
For your viewing pleasure, I direct you firstly to the PPC Wiki, and for a nice follow up, the Board Constitution. We usually like our newbies to stick around awhile, at least a month, before they start writing missions, so we can get to know them better. ;)
And before you get so gungho on starting missions, here's the Board FAQ, as well as the handy page on Permission.
Aside from that, huzzah and hurrah and welcome.

Lj-cutting is a simple matter of html tags, or, in the not-html-editor that I can't remember the precise description of, only a click or two. There is a tutorial in the help section, I believe; that's how I learned to do it.
So many people in 40k, I'm beginning to think I should familiarize myself!
But to the point: I've not seen you around before, and despite my lack of talkativeness, I do pay attention. Have you located the PPC Wiki? Most specifically, the article on Permission? If you have, my apologies; I simply wished to be sure.
Anyway, that over with, new faces are always nice. =) We seem to be getting a lot lately. Have an everlasting carrot. They're yummy. Really.

Agent profiles - Chliever and Winston by
on 2009-03-13 05:02:00 UTC
Reply
Agent: Chliever
Aliases: Nurgle, Father Nurgle
Race: Great Unclean One
Home: The Warp, Warhammer 40,000
Department: Floaters
Specialties: Yu Yu Hakusho, Exorcisms anywhere
Age: Thousands and whatnot
Height: 10 feet or so
Weight: How dare you!
Family: 13 adorably disgusting little Nurglings and three troglodyte brothers-in-law (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/images/screenshots/WARss080425-16.jpg)
Registered Lust Object: Zam Wessel
Berserk Button: Abuse fics
Origin: A minor villain in a WH40k Space Marine!Sue fic. Recruited due to his power, his opposition to the Sue, and because Great Unclean Ones, with their attachment to humans, are the easiest type of Daemon to condition at FicPsych to have something resembling human morals.
Personality: Likes watching old bad movies, reading stuffy old novels, and anime. Yeah, he's a geek. Prone to yelling at anyone who disturbs these activities, or who crack jokes about his hygine. He has a special inhibitor installed to keep him from being sucked back into the Warp (and thus requiring a human sacrifice to resummon him) but of course it's far from foolproof. It'll occasionally short out, reverting him to his bestial persona of wanting to infect others with horrible diseases. He can rid himself of these impulses by punching himself in the face.
Agent: Winston Chalmers
Race: Vaguely-defined human
Home: Somewhere in England, Harry Potter
Department: Floaters
Specialties: You! and Me!Sues
Age: Seems late twenties
Height: 5 and a half feet or so
Weight: Well, I never!
Family: None to speak of.
Registered Lust Object: Why you presumptuous little...!
Berserk Button: Possession Sues
Origin: Popped into existence in a Harry Potter fic, gave exposition, then popped out of existence. Like all such characters, he's very vaguely defined, and thus just seems to be a young wizard with gray hair and eyes and pale skin.
Personality: A hopeless neat freak, so of course he was paired with an embodiment of pestilence. He's the token calm one of the duo; it's very hard to set him off, and pretty much the only things that can are Author-wraiths possessing his favorite characters and his partner's eating habits and droning on about his family. Bought a possessed couch from Rook Takes Pawnshop so he wouldn't have to bunk with Chliever. Comedy being what it is, it often tries to eat him.
Agent: Twinker
Department: Floaters (Decommissioned)
History: Chliever's previous partner, a reformed Star Trek Sue or something. Chliever has no knowledge of that canon whatsoever. Decommissioned from the PPC due to, in apparent complete lucidity, attempting to recruit Martin Van Buren.
