The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

The Dark is Rising for the win. I really need to read those again. I can't remember the rest of the verse. "Three from the ??? and three from the track"?

My fencer-and-history-buff brother would probably point out that there isn't much room for talking in a real fight, but of course the PPC runs on Narrative Law more than physics, so it's all good. {= )

On an unrelated note, how many PPC couples are you responsible for creating? Seems like a good many.

~Neshomeh, enjoying as always.

It's officially 2009 here, so I'm saying that now before I go to bed. :) Hope everyone had a decent 2008 and that you all have an excellent 2009.

What happened with the Manual is that it ended up being two, maybe three people doing the great majority of the work, so it was going slowly to begin with, and then we got the wiki. Priority shift ensued.

~Neshomeh, one of the editors.

Actually, FicPsych is kind of My Thing. Not that it's really obvious, but still. It seemed like a little-used corner of HQ that I could play in without anyone minding too much.

Anyway, as for other doctors (as opposed to nurses), I think the answer is no. It isn't that other people can't be just as skilled; it's a term of respect. He's been there the longest and may have actual formal training in psychology, as opposed to the people who just wander in and get drafted like all the other agents.

This is all open to discussion if other people think differently. I mostly quail at the thought of writing in other doctors because Freedenberg is sort of a PPC canon character, and I wouldn't want to seem to usurp him.

As a side note, anyone should feel free to use most of the FicPsych staff--it's just Jenni and Mirrad who belong to me. If you want them for some reason, please ask first. {= )

Ontic's saved! And good going, Mkellin!

Nice job with the fight at the end, there. Much fun to read.

Well, Ontic got redeemed at last. Can't wait for the next bit, and news on the Mysterious Somebody's fate. Also, I've noticed over half of the official manual is [[Insert Text here]] or [[[Insert Quote here]]. Just pointing it out...

Now, if only he would finish that MST... *looks pointedly in hS' direction* But then again, if he's too busy, I guess it's fine for now.

Nice chapter. Now it's back to waiting for an update... Which reminds me: Are Origins and Lofty Skies going to be empty for much longer? I've been wanting to read about those parts of PPC history for some time.

to get Permission, but I thought I'd submit a few samples of my writing now.

I see no reason at all why you couldn't add a new staff member, though I defer to Huinesoron - not because you're a PG, hS, but because you're more knowledgeable. ;p

She's an immortal wolf-dragon clawed specie [sic]. She has both wolf and dragon alternate forms, and is impossoble to kill, as is her entire "specie".

I am indeed - considering having one of my Agents be a Sammie.

And thanks for the towel. Hoopy!

Currently I'm busy writing my sample for when I eventually get around to applying for permission. However something cropped up as regards to a particular NPC I'd like to use, so I thought it'd be best to check with the experts.

Anyway, it's pretty simple; is Dr. Freedenberg the only Doctor in FicPsyche or would it be acceptable for there to be others? (although obviously lower in the pecking order).

Thanks to anybody that can give me a hand here.

I'm not sure whether the utter incoherence of the first chapter or the pairing itself makes me dislike that fic more. Grievous is far too awesome a character for him to deserve anything like this.

I don't see why not. It's a sensible canon solution to protesting yourself from unpleasant force users.

I could swear I've seen that basic outline (Rose -> Timelady) before. I don't honestly think it's intellectual property thieving.

She keeps referring to herself as wolfish. Is she a...werewolf? O_o Also, ew. Blatant 'Sue.

Crashing Down: Chapter Sixteen -- With Fire

In which loyalties shift, movies are quoted, and character death occurs.

Any and all comments are of course welcome. :P

Poor Grievous. First the OOP droid pairing, then "Precious One", and now this... Goodbye, canon.

*waves* You a Disc fan?

*offers a towel*

... but there are documented contacts between the PPC and other trans-dimensional organisations (excluding of course the Black Cats and the League of MS Factories). Agent Quen was once asked to contact Jurisfiction, and Agent Dafydd and Selene once helped out ISPCE in an unofficial capacity. I'm sure there have been other encounters (well, obviously: the OFUs?), so the PPC has a history of contacting other dimension-hoppers, on and off the record. However, if they're Suvian, we still get to kill them. Or at least sic Despatch on them.

Length is actually the main reason I'm not reading my way through the Legendaries at the moment, I suspect I'd get bored before I finished. Draco's Christmas Cuppa is amusing though.

The thing is, were they using the heavy cannons? The novelization mentions it, but the fact that near-hits and even direct hits didn't reduce the yacht to space dust is telling, especially given the description of ImpStar turbolaser power in the Incredible Cross Sections books. (destroys lighter ships/fighters with glancing hits, takes a few more for heavier ships)

Of course, this technical discussion is irrelevant to their Suedom. Time to stop their Machinia powered plotline mucking.

That's just the sort of fic that gives me headaches to read.
