The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

Sorry to drop in so late, but you mentioned a sci-fi pan-fandom game, and I was curious. Could you give me a link or a name to Google?

This is not about the definition of Sues. Instead, I have a question about what seperates a merely poor fic from one PPC-worthy. This fic caused me to write this:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4567793/1/WindwalkerFirstTest

Its main character, Kyranon Ilaren, is the daughter of a police group called the Starhawks. She is naturally force-sensitive and is the daughter of Jinn. Other offenses include being the Chosen One of her subgroup, using the Dark side as well as the light and claiming immunity to corruption (although this charge is dubious due to canonical precedent), creating a race of force-sensitive, sentient Cute Animal Friends, stating that her Starhawks saved the Jedi and saved them from the Sith in the distant past, mucking with the timeline and Jedi policy on marriage, using techniques reserved for Masters in the canonical timeline, being more powerful than any other Padawan, and having her character's mother intimidate the Council.

Despite all this, and the occasional bad description, the fic is much better written than the usual tripe in the Pit, and there are some redeeming elements. The Starhawks upstage the jedi, but they would fit perfectly in their own fic. In short, they appear to have been grafted into the Warsverse.

My question is as follows: is the above fic bad enough to PPC? I'm somewhat undecided...

Grammatically, my Inner Editor is jumping up and down going, "Yes! Yes! PLEASE!" - and really, it's just tidier all around.

Seventy years of Legoluster missions. Gah...

That said, great job, hS.

Epidemics are fun. *g*

... On the other hand, if you're Todd McCaffrey and that's all you can write about, they're just annoying. {= P

That said, I did enjoy the story. Makes me wonder what ideological shifts happened to bring about the different names--Paladin for Assassin, etc. The PPC decided to make itself look more "white hat," perhaps? Interesting stuff.

I'll fill in what I can as I go. That said, congratulations to all - especially July!

I'm not sure how... Rangers and Paladins are rather older than that, I think. Anyhow, I've never had anything other than peripheral contact with WoW, so I can't really comment.

The timeline, as you say, is a list of titles rather than a timeline. There isn't an actual epidemic there, just... well, you'll see when I get the whole thing up.

I've been thinking it would be good to have some standardization of capitalization across the wiki for words like "agent," "department," the various equipment, etc. I think the tendency is to capitalize to make the words important or official or something like that, but it's kind of unnecessary until they become part of a name, like Agent Someone or the Department of Something. Words like "Bleeprin," however, that constitute a sort of brand name, should be capitalized.

Thoughts?

...A concerted effort from everyone who's posted missions to get the Killed Badfic page updated wouldn't go amiss. It's currently a very useful resource for anyone wanting to find all missions by Indemaat or myself and Trojie, but otherwise has fairly massive holes in it.

I can work on the food and tech stuff. It won't happen instantly, of course, but I'll do better keeping up with it.

w00t for progress, though :D. A whole year? Time flies amazingly fast round here!

It's of the same high quality that comes from any hS production, and offers a very intriguing view of the future that seems ever so slightly WoW-inspired. Still a fascinating read, and it's nice to see the Illian-Sims kids (I assume that's who they are, anyway) turning up.

The only query I have is the timeline. What does the 2009 Epidemic refer to? If it's the slew of disasters we've endured this year,shouldn't it be 2008? And if it isn't... oh Gods, there's one NEXT year?!

:P

*salutes*

It looks like a good future. And an interesting one. Plenty of changes, but the 'Sues persist and so we remain.

Very well done as always, hS. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. :D

So, with the wiki, I have a bit of a problem...

For instance, there are approximately 367 Wanted Pages that require filling in (some canons, some Agents, and who knows what else), and besides those, a lot of information in older spin offs and things connected to the PPC and information sites that have not been added yet. And unfortunately, in some cases, I don't know the canons or where to find information on the agents with the red links. Let alone the time to fill in most of those myself. Course no one can fill most those in themselves with short time, but together is a different story~.

I also no know nothing about things such as the Les Miserables Songfic Crisis or the PPC Mongoose Shelter, and other miscellany.

So help, with those, please?

Would also like to remind everyone of the Current Events page on the wiki which has not been updated recently but can be rather handy for summarizing what has been going on when it is updated, as well as point out the Board FAQ to all the recent newbies who haven't spied it yet.

Also, on a mostly different topic, in approximately two weeks the Wiki will have been up for a whole year and we've managed to make more than a thousand articles in that time!

Amazement!

Following the events of Crashing Down, the PPC has moved into a new era, an era of crises and catastrophes, true, but for the most part of normal, every-day work. That doesn't mean, though, that nothing changes.

The End of the Beginning is a loose collection of stories from the next few decades of PPC history. It embraces the era known as Ten Years Hence, passes into the depths of Thirty Years On, and eventually comes to rest in an incredibly distant time, more than sixty years from the present. Here, in a PPC nearly three times its current age, many things are different, but many others have remained the same as they always were. That's what makes the PPC the PPC, after all.

While most of End of the Beginning cannot yet be released due to spoilers for Crashing Down, this time period is so far into the future that it doesn't reveal anything. All it does is show what the PPC of 2069 might be like. How we get there is still to be revealed.

Ripoff of Twilight, except in a Pokemon setting. Pointless and very, very implausible. The two canons don't even have much in common.

Very, very OOC characters, bad pairings. I'm really not sure what Department this goes to, it's mostly wildly OOC behavior and clichés.

Apparently, this is a Super Crackfic. That, and it's completely idiotic. My first reaction was "What the hell is this?" No idea where this goes, but it just might be DoWTF material. Not likely though.

Burn the first one! Burn it! Oh, and the last one should be nuked, in my opinion. Nukes are perfectly canonical in C&C-verse.

Om nom nom nom nom nom.

*waves* I think I was around 'round about a bit before you left? Maybe? Anyway, good to see you again! Hope you can maybe drop by every now and again.

If you would send it long, that'd be very useful :)

And some Anti-Lustin pumpkin pie.

Oooh yes, please, please finish Suedom! That story is too awesome to be left uncompleted. *makes big puppy-dog eyes*
