Yes, Sara and I have got together and decided that a Skype meetup this weekend would be an absolutely fantastic idea. Nice and relaxing. The scheduled meeting times are Friday and Saturday evenings/nights.
I'll be around from about 6 p.m. GMT onward, so if everyone who wants to join in emails me their Skype address-name-thingy (or post it on here, if you don't mind it being generally known) and then pokes me on Gtalk or MSN around that time, we can get started.
However, to quote hS, "But we're the PPC -- we don't just do 'relaxing'. No, we need to add a side order of 'insane'."
Therefore. We propose badfic readings. "The Eye Of Argon", of course, is just too tempting an opportunity to pass up, so we will be covering that one evening.
The other evening, we will be doing several shorter ones. "legolas by Laura", of course, will be making an appearance, alongside "300 Batled for the Alamoe", which Sara suggested. If anyone else has a favoured little fic they'd like to hear read out, post a link here and I'll ad dit to the list.
My email, for those who want to send their Skype names, is cassie dot dramateacher at yahoo dot co dot uk (with slight lterations, obviously).
Hope to see you there!

But they've only done Mary Sue's so far. I'm thinking of transferring them.

I has a shiny! I has pebbles! Yay!
I found the PPC through Miss Cam's website, which I found through OFUM, which I found through OFUR, which I found through The Pit Of Voles. I cover PotC, LotR, Redwall, the Uglies/Pretties/Specials/Extras series, Peter Jarvis stuff, Discworld, pretty much anything Tim Burton, Monty Python, and Harry Potter. I also cover my bed with blankets. I fed my sanity to the Wargs long ago; they do love the taste.

I'm sure no one takes them seriously. But if it really upsets you that much... *bows* They and the rest of us shall stop it.
...Can we at least still make jokes about the rayguns?

I've actually been here... Over two years now (0.o) but I don't think we've met before. I did read Suedom when I first joined!
My Agents are Kumori Tenki and Georgia Branch, DoF, and deal with anime missions. I'm a co-course coordinator at the Official Fanfiction University of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles and enjoy writing goodfic more than I do sporking badfic.
So yeah, that's me! Welcome back to the PPC.

Welcome to the PPC.
I present you with your very own bag of pebbles for throwing at Sues and a Random Shiny Object because shinies are win.
There should be some more people along soon to give you shiny links and presents.
How did you find the PPC, and what fandoms do you cover?
Oh, and you can pop your sanity over in the Sanity Cloakroom by the door, we don't usually need it in here.
Welcomes again!

Hi! I'm Maudlin Hart, if you call me Maud or Maudie I'll bite you in half, I'm thirteen, I'm a geek, I like shiny things, I like fire, I'm bohemian-gothic, and I like goodfic. If you peeps will accept my offerings of virtual Suenicorn jerky and coconuts, I shall be insanely gleeful. If you don't, I'll bother you until you do! Meep?

When I saw it, and I don't know you at all, I assumed it was just a joke. People used to joke that Andy and I were a couple. We weren't, but it was a funny joke.
It's a grand PPC tradition.

Nominally the PPC Lounge, only we mostly played on AIM, and it was the site of many a crazy happening involving agents, OCs, and the odd canon characters who stumbled through plotholes. Also a great deal of fun. ^_^
And, yes. Much of it is awful, of course, but there are bright spots, too.

Whoa there, cowboy. Mind slowing down with the new threads? by

Neshomeh, one of the Permission Givers, asked for that to slow down a bit, especially with the double posts and stuff.
Also, those two in this thread I've seen so far are written by obvious trolls.

Still needs a lot of filling in, since its subject matter seems to have broadened, but we're working on it, just need to get a lot of stuff from older spin offs added, and so forth.

(Yes, I remember Suedom... as I recall, I'm in it somewhere) I'd just assumed it was abandoned along with so many other large-scale PPC things, so I'm quite pleased to hear you're still at least thinking about thinking about it. I have noticed a few Suedom-derived things on your LJs, and I figured that was as much as we'd ever get... which would be a real shame, because I know there's lots of people who really want to know how it ends.
hS, who as previously mentioned talks too much, but in his defense he was always a big fan of Suedom and only didn't mention it in his own post because he thought it might be impolitic to do so, and this description is going to end up longer than the post itself if it doesn't end soon.

Don't mean to be a bit of a thread hijacker here, but serious, Cassie, Artic, that sort of thing is getting mega tiresome.
'Eee July is meen and ebil and scaree and she attacks!!1!'
Serious.
Stop it.
It colors people's opinions of me before they even know who I am. Let others decide what sort of person I am from what they see before you say that stuff, I'm just getting sick of it.

... I was scared of quite a few people who were fairly prominent on the Board or in the PPC community in general.
As to Makes-Things... oh dear. The best way to do this is probably the quick way:
He's dead.
As are a whole lot of other people. None of them are very important, though.
Oh, and on the retroactive history front, I would be failing in my duties as a relentless self-promoter if I didn't at least nod in the direction of Tangled Webs, the PPC History site. It's, um... tangled.

I can't really give you an idea of how badly this is written without giving you a sample of the story:
'“sry babe. I always forget dat u r telepathik!” riona wuz wearing a brite orange tube top today that cut off rite below her gigantik boobz. She had a denim miniskirt wit a huge belt that sed slytherin slutz 4eva on it! (nut dat she wuz slutty or nething!)'

Sirius and Snape get detention together and discover that they love each other because they have similar pasts. Then James finds out that they're having sex and gets mad. Sirius proceeds to discover that Remus' werewolf side has taken James as a mate, even though James continues to date Lily. Sirius and Snape find out that they only fell in love because Remus cast a spell on them. Later on, the duo discovers that the spell was working, so their love is real. Oh, and Lily's a bitch because the author hates her. All this in ten chapters and several gratuitous sex scenes. Joy.

What happened to Makes-Things?
I'm kinda just stopping in, but interested to see what happened while I was gone.
