And then I'd announce it on my website, or something... *happy sigh*

Good times. :D

Around early March the foxes are just coming out of their breeding season, and the hares and ferrets are just coming in. That will be fun to live with.

It gets worse. We have to get in something subtle enough to be funny about the unfortunate induced instincts of the rabbit and hare students. Let's say they spend a LOT of time brushing their teeth.

I've got exams at school. BIG exams, as in, the Semi-final ones... *Sighs*
But it will get there in due haste. One of my Agents is from the Pokemon Continuum, and his Pokemon Team won't take kindly to their world being crossed-over or trespassed on by Sues and Stus.

It's only two chapters of OOCness and pain, so it won't take very long, right? Please reply! I'd hate to be left out cold tommorow.

What I really wanted was to be told that Wikipedia has just made one of it's habitual mistakes, that deeper analysis would prove the talk page and the article wrong. Yes, that's selfish; but I have a tendency to grsp at straws, even when it's futile. Sorry for being immature!

PS: Tell me if there are any grammatical errors.

that it will be enlightening *Evil grin*.

I go with Prussic acid all the way! It is rather toxic!

I can just see the Doctor in UU classes.

1) David Gonterman is a badfic author? 'cause the way your question was frased I first thought he was a canon author and I've never heard the name. Which probably means that he is not that legendary. But as a badficcer he could be legendary in his fandom. or fandoms as seems to be the case.

2) So you would like to be a PPC author? This wikipage might be informative: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Permission

None of this involves the person running the RPG and she hasn't said anything so the uptight twits can go twist the sticks they have up their rear ends a little bit deeper for all I care. Besides, it might serve the RPG well that they don't like me much. It'll help them get into character. Well, most of them. ;p It's a Doctor Who RPG and I'm doing River Song. One of the twits is doing the Master and another is doing an incarnation of Rose (I forget which version). The person I 'insulted' is, IIRC, the Tenth Doctor. *shrugs* Whatever. He's not supposed to much trust River in the beginning, anyway, and she's certainly not one to care what anyone else thinks, though I'll have to pretend to care in this case. *makes gagging motions*

Has any of David Gonterman's work been done by the PPC before? Nothing shows up on the Wiki search for the name "Gonterman". Anyway, if his stories haven't been done before (would really, really surprise me... the man is "legendary"), I'd like to claim the "Davey Crockett" trilogy of Power Rangers/Sonic the Hedgehog/Sailor Moon/everything under the sun crossover for a story. I tried to find something about the due process of writing for this website, but there didn't seem to be any easily accessible page. Any input would be appreciated.

You're better off without them. Honestly, I've dealt with their type before, and they're just a needless source of stress. They take their little forum fiefdoms far too seriously. They have all the charm (and the cranio-rectal inversion) of a particularly uptight homeowner's association. Life is too short to deal with that kind of asshats.

This from a I-don't-care-HOW-it-works-I'm-much-more-interested-in-what-I-can-DO-with-it type. Cheers, WC.

I believe this requires some empirical testing. *wicked grin*

Because it does nifty stuff when poured on sugar.

...I wonder. What would it do when poured on a sugary-sweet 'Sue? Food for thought. ^_^

And never forget little Willy.

I wrote a page for the (sadly) legendary My Immortal for the Wiki. I'm not sure if it fits all the guidelines, though, so I'm pointing it out for people to edit it.

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

I'm scared.

I tried to go and reply to the uptight person shrieking "You mean the RP post that's not in this thread? The one she had already posted? The one that she's doing with somebody else? The one that you have nothing to do with?" and I can't get to it. At all. I'm not allowed to access it. I go to the RP player's page where I made the comment and the entry has myseriously vanished. It's been locked off to me, it seems. *rolls eyes* S'okay. They want to kick me out of their uptight little shit, whatever.

To the badficcer,

This is a joke, right? No one could possibly think that that is a valid piece of writing based on the world I created.

It is creatures like you that make me consider revoking the right to write fanfiction based on my worlds. Rest assured that your name will be listed as one of the reasons if I ever do such a thing.

To the PPC,

Good work. Have an autographed copy of my books for your troubles.

I loved it. Crossovers with Donna are always awesome.

But pretty much all my stories are in the same connected universe (sort of like Stephen King's), so chances are any character I publish could show up again.

So, to be on the safe side, I would not want it being known that I read fanfiction.

We all started as noobs. Let me see if I can explain somewhat less geekly than I usually do.

The yourwebapps.com forums are vulnerable to spam because no login, or authentication of any type, is required. If you look down the board a bit, you'll see a post entitled "If this posts, the proxy IP isn't blocked (nm)". You'll also see that it was posted from 72.167.203.129, the IP that the spammer has been using. He didn't post that, though; I did.

72.167.203.129 is a proxy server. It acts as an intermediary between a user (me, the spammer, someone whose company's firewall blocks Fark, whoever) and the actual site. Let's say I want to post "If this posts..." here via that proxy. I tell the proxy what web page I want, it sends the request to the webserver, then passes it back to me. The webserver only ever sees the proxy's IP, not mine; only the proxy server knows who I am. When I enter my post, it goes to the proxy server, not yourwebapps.com; the proxy server then submits it to yourwebapps, and it gets posted as normal. In fact, I'm using a proxy server right now, though not that one.

So, anyone who has net access can post on our board. They don't need an email address, an account anywhere (a library or other public computer will work fine), or much of anything else. It's like the old days of the Net, before the great spam plague. If they go through a proxy server, they can post without giving anyone but the owner of the proxy server any clue who they are, and for obvious reasons, the proxy owner won't talk without (or even with, if they're offshore) a court order.

The binservices email address is listed on the home (and only) page, a placeholder, of binservices.com, which was registered for a while before this happened. So it has at least some solidity to it, unlike the other phantoms I've been chasing.

It wasn't created to spam because the type of spam that has been done -- namely, of this board -- doesn't need a valid email account. Or a valid anything, actually. It just needs someone knowing where the board is. The Usenet posts connected to it, which also (like signupforspam.com, and our flood) seem to be attempts at getting the real binservices spammed, likewise don't require any type of verification.

So, there's no need for the actual binservices gmail account, website, or anything else, to be involved at all. It's apparently someone else our spammer has a beef with, and he's trying to kill two birds with one spam by flooding our board, and getting us mad at the other guy, who had nothing to do with the spam.

I could post here as binservices, the Queen, Techno-Dann, or you, and the board would be equally happy to accept my posts. No sock puppet accounts required. You know I'm not you, and you could figure out that I'm not Dann because I'm not using the same IP he does, but for all you know, I am binservices or the Queen.

Does that make any sense?

There's a great webiste — How Stuff Works — that explains about how all sorts of things work, including a lot of Internet things. It's a good place to go to get de-noobified, and a lot more fun than reading RFC's.

(yes, that part about RFC's was a bit of intentional geekery)

Speaking of which, would it count as Sueism if my agents were to accidentally pick up an Object in the course of an execution, when they realise the only way to safely get away from the Holder is to pass its test? The entire series is in second-person, so technically there is no canon Seeker whose canon life-story could be damaged, but they damn sure wouldn't be looking for the rest of the things - they'd have to portal back into the Holders canon and find an actual Seeker to pawn it off onto. But the things can't just be handed over, they have to be "won", so they'd also have fun thinking up some ridiculously humiliating and hysterically funny thing the Seeker would have to do to get it ...
