July covered the rest, so here's my two cents on these:

3. I know for a fact there's still recording to be done, because I have to do some of it (though I'm still waiting for my latest parts). Then there's the animating. I have no idea how Cassie and Trojie plan to see that done, but art takes time, and animating, I'm sure, takes longer. Add in the fact that none of us are professionals (as far as I know), and that we're all busy with other things, and we're looking at a good long production period. So, as Farscape's Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan would tell you, the answer is time and patience.

5. I've already recommended not mixing the PPC with original work to someone else, so I'm doing the same here. We're allowed to play with the PPC as its own entity, always giving credit to Jay and Acacia for the original concept, but once you cross the line into your own original work, it starts looking like idea theft. Also, the fact that only other PPCers would likely get the references makes it kind of pointless for you if you expect any sort of legitimacy for your work.

Only words at the beginning of sentences and proper nouns should be capitalized, as my agents keep telling Sues before executing them for (among other charges) random capitalization.

I play D&D, but my first association with the word "Ranger" will always be The Lord of the Rings, which is where Gygax got it. Presumably, Tolkien got it from somewhere, too.

As for "Paladin," my guess is that it was first an order of knights or something like that, but I don't know for sure.

You're the veteran here, I'll let you take charge. :)

*squees* More Suedom! And with COMMAS! Yayage!

Aaah, I just noticed I misspelled my own name. Keyboard-fail-tastic!

... the hS Productivity Effect has now kicked in, whereby if someone mentions something I'm working on, I'll more than likely go and work on it some more. So yeah.

1 Yes, people did notice the four fics you reported. Most everyone tends to look at all the threads. If you want you can add them to this page here.

2 I'm going to be honest here and say I don't care/have an opinion. You should go with the department you think you'll enjoy writing for the most.

3 The movie is a topic I have no idea on, and so you'll have to wait until Cassie or Trojie pop up to answer that question.

4 No, you are not, and yes, you are allowed, last I checked.

5 I don't know in this case, but I'd have to venture a guess and say it would probably be a no. Of course, I'm not sure, and that's something a PG would have to say on for sure, but I don't think it'd be a doable.

...Because the first one sucked, and it's going to be Very, Very Dead soon anyway. Hope that thing where only certain questions are answered and the thread dies doesn't happen again. It seems to be very common for me.

Did anyone notice the four 'fics I reported recently in one post? My old Report thread was pushed off the front page shortly after, and I'm wondering if anyone saw it.

Also, if I ever go for Permission (Highly improbable, but it's a possibility), which department should I write Agents for? I'm looking for either the worst fics or the most fire. I think I'd go for DOGA, DoWTF, or DoF.

Also also, how's the Movie going? I can't wait for the release, it looks like it will be very, very awesome and full of much win.

Oh, and am I the first newbie to bring very large amounts of Random Shinies and cute stuffed toys? And am I actually allowed to distribute said shinies, or do I have to wait until I'm at least a semi-Oldbie to obtain shiny object-giving rights?

Lastly, can I mention random PPC-related things in an original fic I'm trying to write? I won't be using the PPC and its technology directly, I'll just be referencing it a lot.

I was actually in the middle of updating when I stumbled on this. So, for those who want to wait an hour or two, you'll have all the latest links!

... I've never played either. I just sort of got them by cultural assimilation -- I hang around with people who have.

(One of) My favourite 'ship(s) has returned in full!

Welcome back (even if it's possibly only temporary). Hopefully there's enough around here that you recognise for you to fit back in... aw, who am I kidding? Andy & Saphie will always fit in at the PPC.

Well, I could always do with more bricks (the last set I made just /about/ worked, but at a stretch), but at the moment what I need is more time. I -- ouch -- apparently the last strip was made on the 5th September, so it's been a while. I'll hopefully get at least a few together over Christmas, but it's hardly regular, so... I dunno, it's your choice whether you still want to do that. (Of course, with more bricks I might be able to have two sets on the go at once, which would speed things up immensely...)

There should probably be a link on the wiki somewhere, I guess, but… It's here, and Tangled Webs is here.

Would a 'Handy Links' sort of page on the wiki be useful, d'you think?

Nice to meet you. Yay for doing well in school, yay for Suedom's return, and yay for veteran Boarders returning! *hops in van*

Do you want random shinies I found in various videogame canons while playing them? I have a bunch, for some unknown reason. I also have a whole load of life-size WALL-E plushies.

Anyway, great work, and sorry for being such a fangull on our last encounter.

Amen to staying in school and the awesomeness of academia. And well done on the graduating!

And also huzzah for Suedom returning! With commas and all!

I mean, yeah! Of course I do! After all, nothing is cooler than giant, rampaging apes with halos. Happy to know that someone else shares my point of view.

Hell if I know where but it's somewhere in that general direction. *guestures right, left and center* There's the Tangled Webs archive, once again Hell if I know where. I just cling to the links whenever someone posts them for newbies and forget to bookmark.

Somehow I thought it was Saturday and Sunday nights for you. So I missed the Friday one. Erp. I'll try my best to be on... *counts* twelve hours from now. Sorry, guys!

I'm afraid that's the closest thing I have to saying, "I know you!" Hope it's adequate. :)

Nice to see/meet you. Have some Convenient Cake!
