The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I never liked the original series, and this entire film has me angry. For one thing, because the Trek TOS had seven movies, Next Generation had three of four, but DS9 and Voyager haven't had ANY, and they're making another TOS?

And the actors... bah. They were picked for their looks. The entire thing looks like a disaster waiting to happen. I'm not even going to see it. I dread the Suefics that are going to be spawned by this, but as I take only TNG, DS9 and Voyager missions, it's not really my problem. Thankfully.

*end rant*

do you know anything about "Charmed"?

Anybody's help in any way. But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured...

Okay, okay, I'll stop. Sorry. Anyway, that sounds interesting, Leto, I could probably try it if you wanted, though less Lord of the Rings-y. Maybe he's a League Flower in charge of trying to make Agents go rogue/defect?

I know no other way to describe this, so I'll just use the fic summery


"Crossover with Charmed and Twilight: After Harry's mother gives him up at the age of two he finds himself in the an abusive foster home with the 9 Halliwell children. He takes them and runs to Forks where his father finds him. EC/HP SB/JP/RL SS/LP"

Mind meld v looking into the brain to see how it works.

The question now is: if Sylar would have been able to do Spock's mind melds, would he have gotten his hands dirty opening up so many brains?

7 male members and 37 female members? Whoa, I already suspected that girls outnumbered guys in the PPC, but I had no idea that it was by THAT much.

Where are all those snarky, nerdy girls? I can't seem to find many of them in my offline life :(

Not a trekkie either, but I rather like Star Trek. Maybe I'll go see this one.

Let's see if I can forget for about two hours that Spock is NOT Sylar.

The first documented sight of the name of `Mary Sue` was in a Star Trek fic, if my facts are correct.

Star Trek is comming out with a new movie:

It looks really awsome (no I am not a trekkie), though I can see all the fan girls lining up now because of the actors that they chose.

Thanks a lot. I'll show her that if the topic rises again.
I thought you got "Araeph" from a phonetic pronunciation of RAF? (You're one of the British ones, aren't you? If I got that werong, it's not meant as an insult. Really. I might have to throw all your tea into a harbor, though.)

LJ really confuses me. I can't seem to find the community you're talking about. Suggestions?

Better immature than pornographic or idiotic. My advice is to simply let the subject drop and continue writing...

...as far as the "child molester"/scary people thing goes.

There was a survey taken on the Board--most of the members at the time participated--and here are the results. (The survey was public, on the Board itself, so none of these responses would have been faked.) What are the chances that ALL of these people are lying?

Here is the short version, the summary of what it says about us:

__
Survey Summary

From the 44 surveys filled out, it is immediately apparent that the majority of the members on the PPC Posting Board are female and around 16-20 years old. It’s also obvious that they absolutely love the Board. When asked to describe the Board in three words, they say things like “marvelous”, “awesome”, “home”, “insane, entertaining, addicting” and “hellloadofFUN!”. They place a lot of importance on being nice to other members of the Board– for customs, one of the most commonly repeated answers is “be nice to others”. There’s also an insistence on giving virtual presents to new members and generally making them feel welcome. The Board is a fun and funny place, where everyone is practically guaranteed to share common interests with at least one other person. In fact, according to the people who took the survey, the people of the board are the absolute best thing- not the stories or amusing things posted, but being able to chat with people who are apparently entertaining, supportive, and intelligent. Another thing very obvious is the enthusiasm of the Board members– in my request for people to fill out surveys, I stated that I only needed 25. They filled out 44.



Oh, yeah. Gotta watch out for those 16-20 year old females! They're the worst predators out there. :D


Also, check out "PPC Meet-up stories and pictures" on the <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/theppc/20306.html">List of Everything PPC. There are records of us meeting up with other PPCers--always in safe public places, yadda yadda. We've had seven PPC meet-ups all over the world, and nothing catastrophic has happened at any one of them. In fact, in person, all of us were *gasp* exactly who we said we were! 'Cept for the names, of course. (No one ever did figure out how to pronounce "Araeph".)

And hey, if your Powers That Be still aren't convinced, they're welcome to talk to us personally, through e-mail or the Emergency PPC Board, or even the cobwebby chatroom.

Good luck!

As soon as I can get into the school computer lab, which actually has it, I will begin creating a picture of the Dark Lord Geranium in all its spiky glory.

I tried showing her an MST of a non-porny badfic, and she called it immature and stomped off in a huff.
I did e-mail her a link to TOS, but she wouldn't read it.

There was a Geranium, but it wasn't a Dark Lord.
Dark Lord-iness makes all the difference.

It's more "anyone on the internet is a child molester". I tried saying "they've put up pictures of themselves!" and she said "how do you know those are pictures of them and not their sixteen-year-old nieces?"
Hee. Could I steal (ah, commandeer) that comment for future usage? It is rather cleansing, you're right.
...wow, there are a LOT of Beatles fans here...

No. More synagogueiness. But anyhoo, she's just going on about how horrid it is to make fun of people. (Even if they deserve it.) When I tried showing her an actual MST, she got huffy and called it immature. (Isn't that the point?)

I'll look it up.

Well, on the one hand, he's a decent shot who seems to know what to do with Sues.  On the other, he's currently working for a group of evil nihilists (the Burning Legion).

So...maybe.  The alternative is to send him begging to either the Horde or the Scryers.

THING THE FIRST! Join the club, honey, join the club. However, having paranoid parents is a good thing. Just put up with her griping, and explain to her that you're not giving away personal information or doing anything that'll encourage the child molesters to hunt you down. As for sporking being bad for the soul? Nah. It's actually just creative critiquing.

THING THE SECOND! I don't have one, but I'm sure someone does. Good luck getting your head 'round that 'fic.

THING THE THIRD! Nyahaha. Sauron flower. XD

Sorry, I had to do that.

On THING THE FIRST:

Having parents like yours (and now I have moved halfway around the world), distance is a great thing. Not using your home computer to do PPC related things helps alot.

If your parents make side comments about us, just ignor them. Besure to answer all comments about other topics, eventually they will drop it. Parents are like children that way.

If your parents fear for your soul (especially churchy parents), ask them `is ignorance bliss?` My brothers and I are having a long and very fustrating time reeducating our parents about the church. I am not anti-religion, I am just anti ignorance.

I could not belive it when my mother made the comment one time sayting that something is wrong just because the bible said so. To back this statement up: 1. The Jewish people only eat cosher, the reason: When these rules were laid out, many people were dieing of badly buchered and preserved food, especially meat. When the people found a way to do the things correctly (ie, not get sick) it found itself in the religius writing and teachings as a message from `God`. 2. Roman Catholocisim; no meat on Fridays, reason: In the (guessing at date, not reason) 1400s, the fish merchants went to the Pope to enlist his help in selling more fish. In return they would give a very generous `donation` to the church. So the Pope declaired that to honor Christ`s sacrifice, the people should not eat meat on Friday and eat fish instead (my family did this until the late 1990s). 3. The Bible was put together to help people to understand the world around them. When ever it says `God`s will`, was it really a will of some super natural power, or was just some science that they did not understand? The Bible was written well before the advent of modern science and people wanted answers.

The Bible is not always correct.

But my first sujestion should work, did on mine.

On THING THE SECOND:

Your agents may need neck braces for whiplash.

On THING THE THIRD:

Cool! Definatly already a Flower that Be, or maybe it is a Flower that is responsible for agents to go rogue? Hmmmmm... I can see the flowers starting their own councils and fellowship to depose of the Dark Lord Geranium. Crap, I now have a plot bunny clining to my leg, anyone want him?

On the FIRST: I don't think it is possible to explain the PPC to someone that thinks that fictionally killing fictional thirteen-year-olds (between the ages of 13-35, and a few that were older due to immortality) equates to real life child molestation. Is your mother the kind of person that believes that authors can only write about what they know? i.e. that if someone is killed in a novel that the author must have experience killing people? (rather than an overactive imagination?)

I do agree on the second matter, in a way. If I had a soul, I'm pretty sure that reading badfic would be bad for it. It is bad for the brain after all. MSTing is actually rather cleansing.

On the SECOND: I once thought about following a fic from an anti-gravity room due to its massive tense switching (within sentences even). I guess you should stock up on crash dummies, and have the agents follow the fic from the confindes of their TARDIS.

On the THIRD: great name for a flower. Now I wants one for my garden.
