The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I was looking at my schedule and found the initials of my new Maths teacher. On the schedule they don't put full names, just the initials.

My new Maths teacher's initials were MS. Yeah, definently a PPC moment there...

Animes Collide

and

Princess Tutu: The Unofficial Secret Story

Both are set in PT, apparently, though the first appears to be a massive crossover in the works. The second has... questionable dance, to say the least.

I'm fairly certain they both qualify as badfic, but I wanted to run it by people. Because I'm cautious like that.

Also, I was thinking of claiming one of them. I did technically get smacked with the Permission stick, but... meh. I dunno. (Thoughts? :D) Plus the second one starts out third-person and switches to first-person.

(Oh hey that could be funny. :P)

Well, anyway, I feel horribly bothersome. Sorry. ^_^;; (You know it's been a long day when I'm not even sure what I'm apologizing for.)

So much.
I recently discovered the joy that is TWEWY, and as a good portion of my current courses involve the dreaded math, Minamimoto rapidly endeared himself to me. In a twisted sort of way.
"Don't get your integers all divided by zero, sensei."
It's priceless. Priceless I tell you!

Hmm... this may spawn a 'priceless' commercial. *goes away to ruminate on this*

...oh yeah, good luck with the Permission thing. :D Stuff looks good to me, but hey, not a PG. (Still not even sure why they smacked me with the stick, actually...)

Anyway. Right. Done. Really. Promise. :)

It is looking pretty nice to me! But are you writing two different Agents in two different Departments, or do the two sometimes get partnered together?

So I've been around since August 18 (the day the Ypur invasion began, no less), and I've FINALLY decided to ask for the permission to join. Without further ado, let us begin the great begging and groveling before the Permission Givers Permission Asking!

Agents:

Agent Yuki: An anthropomorphic Froslass, Yuki is calm, level-headed, and is rarely without a cool reply. Unless fire is involved, because fire is NO GOOD for ice-type Pokemon. We are not going to get into that, however. Yuki likes cold places, and in the absence of cold she uses her ice attacks to make things cold. She is protective of her home canon, but doesn't mind going out to freeze 'Sues in other continua.

Yuki is a floater, and focuses mainly on the Pokemon canon.

Yuki appears to be in her mid-twenties with white skin and hair, like a ghost. Her eyes are electric blue with yellow sclerae, a trait all Froslass exhibit. She likes wearing her hair in a bun and a red sash around her waist.

Agent Alexander "Kip" von Tepesblut: A vampire, albeit a bit less stable than most. Appearing about 18, he whines, sulks, and swears when things don't go his way, and he possesses a questionable sense of humor. He has no moral issues against killing, but such things are trivial. Humans alone might be in danger, but Homo Sapiens Agents need not fear when there are so many OCs just ripe for the picking.
Ideally Kip would only have to feed every month or so, but that scenario maintains that he not get seriously injured and avoids prolonged exposure to sunlight, two conditions that he has a distinct problem with following, and therefore requires food more often than most.
In the event that Kip is deprived of blood, instinct takes over and things die. He'll come out of this condition once he's full, with no recollection of what happened while driven by instinct.
Interestingly enough, Kip will be forced into this instinctive state if he is bitten by a zombie, although it doesn't last very long. No one really knows why this happens, but zombies are advised against biting him.
Otherwise, Kip tends to be rather human in his demeanor. He can generally pass as human, so long as he doesn't say anything incriminating or displays unnatural strength. This tends to be a problem.

Kip is in the Department of Mary Sues, since eradicating things is mildly entertaining to him. He should not, however, be allowed within a mile of a Twilight fanfiction. It won't end well.

Kip is tall, lanky, and pale, with messy black hair. He's got reddish eyes and does not sparkle in the sun.



Writing sample:
(from a fic I'm writing in the World Ends With You canon, born when I couldn't take the bad fics on the Pit any more)

“Minamimoto-kun, would you please pay attention?”
The tanned 18 year-old glanced up, pausing in his half-hearted chewing of his pencil. “Eh?”
“The problem on the board, if you would.”
Sho Minamimoto stretched with an exaggerated sigh. He knew this already, why did they expect him to recite it over and over? He eyed his classmates, all frantically scribbling on their papers or tapping on their calculators. Let them think they had the answer; Sho wasn’t going to even look at the board until all of the rest had gotten some erroneous answer.
“Minamimoto-kun!” The teacher glared. It was bad enough that Sho Minamimoto had the gall to lean back in his seat, feet resting on his desk. The boy’s arrogance, rudeness, and blatant disrespect for authority had gotten him in trouble numerous times; it was a wonder he was still in school. He would have been thrown out ages ago, had it not been for his genius in the area of mathematics.
“Alright, alright. Don’t get your integers all divided by zero, sensei.” Sho yawned. Several of his classmates had finished and were waiting for his answer. A second, fake yawn, and he finally looked at his challenge. His mind whirred, processing the mathematical conundrum. Pencil did not meet paper, for Sho did not need the tools his fellow classmates so heavily depended on. Ten seconds passed… fifteen… twenty… twenty-seven seconds, and he had his answer. A twisted smirk spread over his face.
“It’s unsolvable. If you do the math right, you’ll wind up with a zero in the denominator halfway through.” His classmates stirred with disbelief. “That can’t be right, I got four…” “What? I don’t see it!” “How did he do it that quickly?!” He grinned. “Well, sensei, what’s the solution? Don’t leave these radians hanging.”
The teacher fixed Sho with a gaze that would cause other students to recoil, before glancing at the answer in his hand. “The answer is… none. It is, as Minamimoto-kun said, unsolvable.”
Sho spread his arms. “Soh-cah-toa. I’d ask for another, but school’s nearly over, and my fellow students of math wouldn’t be able to obtain the desired solution in the time that’s left. They shouldn’t have to be stuck with a time limit they can’t hope to meet.” He knew his words would go over badly; several students growled under their breaths. Sho didn’t care. He didn’t need them. They were only a few extraneous variables in a mathematical world.

I'm a dork who researched Japanese school systems to get the addressing right.

I'm also the idiot who decided that murdering My Immortal would be fun, and enlisted SealRat in the cause.

The laws regarding parody and quoting are the same everywhere in America, as far as I know, and dA is based in America. Publishers can put restrictions on just how much can be quoted from their books, but there is a minimum allowance as long as you give proper credit. But, as dA isn't actually a publisher, I don't think that even applies.

In a nutshell: You're fine. Go for it. {= )

~Neshomeh

Because the fic I'm tackling right now is on DA.

Stupid movies, brought all sorts of Suethors out of the woodwork.

The more I'm thinking about it, and considering other people's comments, I'm leaning towards just avoiding the fandom altogether. There's plenty of other vampire continua I can get my agent from.

As long as we're careful not to overlap charges from the various episodes.

And you're right. I'll have to make this a new thread. Later, when I'm not sneezing my head off.

Just because I think this one is being lost in the glacier-like flow of posts.

Just to clarify, do you plan to have some agents listing charges for episode one, others do part two, and so on, until someone (or all of us?) can charge and condemn her in the end?

wait... there's Peanuts fanfic?

If the author has forbidden fanfiction, there isn't likely to be any badfic for us to kill, is there? And if there is it's a whole different problem. As for agents from the forbidden continua... We need to remember that the PPC is essentially fanfiction. A rather odd genre of fanfiction, but fanfiction all the same. I'm no permission giver but I'm gonna have to say we're probably not allowed to use forbidden characters.

I know it has been a while since I last posted but I am floating around silently.

On the question I would, in my very limited way, agree that if the author has requested that no fanfiction be written about their constructions that it be left alone. As an author myself I know that I would take gret offense at bad fanfiction writers distorting my creations and would even look a little sideways at good fanfiction because I would worry that the fanfiction may interfer with the canon. With regard to the second point, again taking the attuide of an author I would say that having agents from that canon would be ok. After all most fandoms are simply huge and the author in question only deals with a small percentage of the people.

My two cents on the subject. Sorry if anybody considers me a little ............. I am not trying to be.

Like I said, I'm writing a Non-Mission fic. It's about the adventures of my Future Agent(once I ask permission)and his Character Development. Part 1 is here: http://wikimaster.livejournal.com/1459.html The Crucibles of Malediction come in Part 2. Please Comment!

I’ve been trying to come up with a comedy song for a bard to sing in a Fable fic of mine. I’ve come up with this. It’s based off of something one of you said about a year or so ago about (I think) the amount of Sues that have always known Middle-Earth was a real place (shortly before turning into elves). Someone then said something about why there were no Sues who knew the Silmarillion was real, then it turned out it wasn’t. I thought that was an amusing idea, so I turned it into a song. If it’s cheesy, that’s possibly even better. The bards of Fable are pretty rubbish. Any improvements would be welcome. The song ends when it does because Marek (main character) leaves the room at that point as an excuse so that I don’t have to write any more, but if you want to continue it, feel free.

Some tales have a hero,
Others have none,
But this is a tale,
Of someone really dumb.

All heroes need a name,
Mary-Sue was ours,
A princess by birth and nature,
She was like one of the stars.

Her beauty was great,
Her tongue was witty,
Or so she thought,
She was really a ninny.

She claimed to be intelligent,
But forgot two plus two,
She was as nosy as an aardvark,
And about as sensible too.

So it was that she crept,
One night into her father’s study,
It would have worked,
If her shoes were not muddy.

She found a large book,
Red jacket and hard-backed,
Which predictably she read,
Not as fiction but fact.

It told an epic tale,
About a magnificent gem,
If she ever got the hang of sharing,
Luckily, there were three of them.

They were shiny,
They were bright,
One was coated in phosphorus,
To stand out at night.

So she started on a journey,
Through mountains and mist,
To find a great artefact,
Which didn’t exist.

I adopted recently - Rosa - so give my poor agents a bit of a respite; Iza's burning the place down. But I'm all for advertising!

It's not terribly bad so far-the author has a passable understanding of the English language, for one thing- but there are a couple "Huh?" moments, and well...the summary speaks for itself. I'm not saying someone needs to kill it yet, but it should definitely be watched. Any fic in which the author "isn't sure" if it's Twilight or Blue Bloods should be regarded with suspicion at best, burned into ashes at worst. Anyone familiar with both canons will understand why.

Just Fate » by Naomii Cullen reviews
This story is about a girl and the story of her terrifying but romantic life. I did label it Blue Bloods but I think it is Twilight too. Please read and review!

...to the point where I will frequently warn my parents and friends of the Ironic Overpower and the Narrative Laws of Comedy if they unwittingly invoke them.

Foreign grammar befuddles me.
Livejournal Entry: Bitchin' in Chinese Class

"The Curse of Millhaven" - a charming little song I found via TVTropes' "Enfante Terrible" entry when entering her in it. "I got a pretty little mouth underneath all the foamin', lalalala lalalalie ..." Violent children are fun, though my mental jury's still out on whether she's going to grow up into a genuinely nasty vermin or just a Chaotic Neutral. Six-year-olds are chaotic neutral by default.

Also have been reading Simon R Green's Hawk and Fisher novels, and I wondered whether they'd make a good agent pair because they have the l33t weaponry skills and witty banter down pat and they're used to killing weird things.

I've found a few awful Vampire Chronicles/Twilight crossovers. Do they fall under the same forbidden category, or would it be acceptable to go and remove Lestat from Twilight-verse?

Thanks, everyone! And to anyone who is still thinking of volunteering...it's not too late!

What I'm thinking of is dividing this mission up into four parts: one part for every episode of the miniseries. For those of you who haven't see Lost in Austen, you can go onto Wikipedia and figure out where the episodes begin and end from the plot summary there. Then, simply choose your (least) favorite episode and e-mail me *points above*. That way, the poor agents will get some relief from the badfic. Don't worry...you can all be present for the no doubt gruesome ending of Amanda Price (though I haven't decided what that will be, yet. Red-hot shoes are very tempting).

Thanks for volunteering!
