The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

The Division of More Dakka has approved your request, submitted three years ago by a time-lost warp storm, for an inferno pistol, rated for melting through up to 20cm adamantium battle steel, or ten yards of conventional titanium alloy, along with five hundred rounds of ammunition. Usage of this weapon is at your discretion.

It's educational. It shows you the hilarious side of misusing quotation marks. :]

Undis Closed is very good at comic timing, and I rather like his pick of songs too.

If he's taking requests, as he seems to be, I wonder if he'd be willing to advertise the Movie with that little mockup our sound technician Trojanhorse did. *ducks and hides under the table* Yes Trojie I did say that I thought it'd be a good way to get more viewers but if you don't like the idea can everyone please forget I said anything to do with it.

Also, could we have "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity"? It's a favourite of mine.

Kill. Her.

Stepped through. He was not supposed to be here. However, after his supposedly exemplary service at the raid on the New Caledonia DIA headquarters*; his employers had cut him some slack. Sneaking up on a pack of unwary Ypurs, he threw his net at them, catching half of the pack and scaring off the rest. He then threw the net into the portal and ran off, looking for more to catch. Activating his personal SEP Field projector(which he won from TM*), he went to the Cafeteria.

*Not posted yet. It's in part two of The New Caledonia Escapades: A test of the Psyche. Link to part one is here: http://wikimaster.livejournal.com/1459.html(I asked if I could tack on new plot elements into the PPC, like this story).

*Tleilaxu Master and future agent. appears in the story on the link.

PS: Sorry for any grammatical errors!

An explosion rings out in the corridor behind them, in the vicinity of the Ypurs, as two enigmatic figures without description or detail carefully advance down the corridor under the cover of gas grenades, and a stink of burning promethium fills the air as one of the figures triggers a flamer, covering the hall in a sheet of flame and cutting off the Ypur advance.

The other figure makes his way past the impromptu blockade and shouts an indistinct message, as no description of the figure's voice or speech has yet been made by its creator. The message itself, however, is clear-they can hold of the Ypur advance, but don't know for how long.

I followed a link from Cake Wrecks. It's incredibly funny, and it's allowed through the school filter! :D

... that while not particularly suited for a PPC mission, your idea looks ideal for PPC training. The Department of Operations is in charge of things like the Nursery, and so is probably officially supposed to run training of Agents, too. If you want to adapt this idea into a training exercise for new recruits -- a guided tour through the mind of a badficcer, as it were -- I would consider that an interesting expansion on a previously under-explored area of the PPC. Of course, first you'd need to explain why the Nightshade has suddenly started training properly...

(Qualification: this message does not constitute official Permission. I'm just suggesting ideas you may want to consider)

hS

Since it just quacked and all. Here, have a First Pint instead. Welcome, by the way.

Nat, who due to her longer legs had been in the lead, just grinned at the two agents as she leaned against the wall, panting. Cassie, on the other hand, frowned at Sedri.

"That one is ours, yeah, she replied in between gasping for breath. "Look, it's still got the sausage I used to lure it in." That said luring had been wholly accidental she glossed over completely. Nat pushed herself away from the wall and poked her partner.

"Cass, be nice, at least they stopped it for us," she said before turning to the others. "I know you two, don't I? You were part of that Narnia exorcism. Sedri and Iza, right? I'm Nat, and that's Cassie, and, er, the minis seem to have gone walkabout."

Before she got a reply, however, another Agent came around the corner, completely unaware of the current situation. Cassie grabbed him. "Tyler! Great! Can we borrow you for a minute-" The thundering of hooves cut her off.

Turning around, she saw a group of perhaps thirty ypurs approaching from behind Iza. "Leg it!" she yelled, grabbing Sedri with her free hand and dragging her back round the corner. Nat grabbed Iza, who was seemingly dumbstruck, and followed.

I gather that the function of most (all?) PPC agents is to establish what's wrong and set it right. My stance is more that if it's meant to be wrong, there's little sense in making it right, but perhaps worth indicating why the wrong occurred the way it did.

Being that this must be way out of the PPC's general usage, I'm soliciting for alternate ideas on how to approach a situation like this, if the one I suggested is just a lot of silliness.

(Alternatively, if the fic is meant to exaggerate or lampoon what is wrong in badfic in general, BUT it's not widely understood as such, then a PPC agent infiltration of the fic could right what went wrong with the fic's establishment of its intentional facetiousness?)

Just tossing out ideas here.

I think there are a few agents around that first started by PPCing one of their own fics. So there is precendence on that.

I'm a little confussed as about your intentions with the fic mission wise. Most of the PPC agents go into a fic point out what is wrong, some add how it could have been right, charge the offending parties, execute them and go home. You seem to have more of a tour guide idea. Not sure why you'd need the PPC for that.

Unless the Flowers have decided to branch out and offer tourist trips (compare those tourists that went into space).

Greetings, hail and well met, and other such phrases!

As a newbie, I gift thee with a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object!

Now, I believe you're enquiring about fic claimage? I don't know whether anyone else has gven you this advice, but I'll say it anyway. When it comes to writing missions and whatnot, the general consensus is that you should hang around the Board for a month or so, chatting and letting everyone get used to you and your style. During that time, most people tend to work on creating and developing their Agents.

At the end of that month, you post a message for the Permission Givers, asking for Permission to write missions. In that post you should include a writing sample or link thereto, a description of your Agents, and possibly a link to the fic you intend to tackle.

*deep breath* Now that's over with, I'd like to welcome you to the Board. Other people should be along shortly to give out presents and advice.

If anyone links you to something called C*l*br**n, That Series, or anything else labelled Legendary Badfic, for the sake of your brain DO NOT READ IT. They're Legendary for a reason. If you've already seen them, however, feel free to disregard this friendly warning.

Lovely to have you here!

All hail the Nameless Admin!

Hey there, newb here. It's been a long time since I've been interested in badfic (especially ever since the fabulous FicBitches fell into inactivity) so imagine my delight that there was a yet active badfic sporking community.

I came across PPC not long ago when, on a whim, a friend of mine Googled a gem of amalgamated bad!yaoific we'd written once upon a time called "Immortality in Fickle Affection," which was listed among the unclaimed badfic on the PPC wiki. Intrigued, I decided to see what the PPC's modus operandi involved, and liked what I saw.

Anyway, the long and short of it is that I'm interested in claiming "Immortality in Fickle Affection" for myself, as it looks like no one's taken up that cause yet (*sadface*). Being one of the writers on the original fic though, I see where this could just lead to a conflict of interests--and far be it from me to harsh anyone's buzz if someone else had their sights on this one (or just the buzz-harsh of admitting to intentional--but really not troll--badfic). If not, sweet! Thing is, I don't really know that this fic is capable of (or meant for) fixing in the usual PPC style when the very body of the text is grounded firmly in the "hey, it would be kind of awesome and ...ed up if this happened next!" school of thought. A mess of genital mutilation and yaoific conventions from start to finish.

So I was thinking, what if by way of "fixing" this fic, I went in and provided direct context for every line/event/bit of characterization seen in it? The writing process of "Immortality in Fickle Affection" was passing it between Tekki and myself to try and get the other to laugh, and those lulz were generally based on exaggerated observations of the characterization and badfic tropes of 4+ years ago. Of course, this would also be explaining the jokes, and that always makes things less funny. (Of course, when the decision was made to upload it to the internet, my assumption was that the sheer ridiculousness of the text would speak for itself, but it appeared--with exceptions--not to be the case.) Thoughts? I could, instead, attempt a more by-the-book PPC fixing solution, but something tells me that it would involve a complete renovation that would render it unrecognizable.

Or if you'd just rather I not touch it and leave someone else to make with the funny on "Immortality", I can do that too. I defer to the hivemind.

Count Ecru and Avada in, after I finish their first mission and watch the recorded programs. Admittedly, I haven't sen the first ep but if YouTube has it, then I'll watch it as soon as possible.

In in in. She married Darcy?

Head on over, and say hi. You'll get links and explanations there.
The 'Bleep-' products and their assorted uses can be found here:

http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Bleeprin

Warning, you may be showered under shiny gifts, random topics and the occasional plover when you head over to the other message board.

Ohhh! Oh, I see, sorry about that. Yeah, I think I got linked here from the PPC LJ or something in response to the spambot.

Should I be reposting my original post over at the other, more appropriate board, then?

(Bleep? Mmm I don't, but I'm sure I can just lurk moar and pick it up as I go ^^)

This one is mostly meant for RPing and the occasional refuge when we get a Spambot attack. The other Board, which is the main message board that everyone goes to, can be found here:
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/199610.html#176176

And to apply for permission to write in the PPC, again, wait about a month, and then ask. Nothing too complex, but we do like to know who we're stealing the Bleeprin from on the occasion. You know about the various Bleep products, right?
