The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

That type of troll still exists? I thought I'd staked all the vampire-trolls. *grabs repeating crossbow*

I'm thinking of starting a club. The Society of People Who Just Can't Take Badfic Any More. We're searching for a better name. *returns to hedgehog form*

Some of you may have been aware of the Fantasy Plot Generator posted earlier on this board, and the characters one run through of it pulled up, including Heist the Porcupine, The Foot Kestrel, and the unforgettable Max Ranger.

Well, I have seen to it that the trio get their own original series, based on pulpy fantasy novels with a little bit of noir thrown in for good measure, and now the first two chapters of the epic series is up here on LiveJournal - http://pigeon-army.livejournal.com/2541.html. ENJOY, MY BRETHREN!

Plus, the agents got a welcome back party...although they weren't actually there long enough to enjoy it, were they?

*contented sigh* One less Suefic in the world. How very tragic.

-we give them what they were asking for!

It's not our fault they don't enjoy it.

As I said on Fichunter's thread just now, I'm finally going to take the plunge and apply for Permission, but there are a couple of things I need to know first.

1. Can I claim http://striga-kun.deviantart.com/art/1-The-Girl-Who-Shouldn-t-81217488>this piece of schtick? The 'Sue is awful, and when it turned up on Pottersues, I hated it beyond belief.

2. Would it be permissible to post something that isn't fiction per se for my writing sample? The reason I ask this is because I have no fanfiction at all, but I have an essay that I've written - it's http://wilver-and-ecru.livejournal.com/3293.html#cutid1>here if you're interested. Basically, it's the only thing I can think of to use as a writing sample, since everything else I've written makes me cringe.

Also, could anyone who helped voice the PPC radio play tell me how you did the voices for the Flowers? I want to start voicing my parts as soon as possible, but I can't if I don't know how to do this. Thanks!

there was a kid called Arwen joining reception the year before I left. My sensibilites were offended because she didn't look anything like Liv Tyler. *is a blasphemer, and watched the movies before reading the books. Hey, I was seven!*

And now I'm going to completely go back on myself, because after lying awake most of last night, I had plenty of opportunities to think things over.

So, I've decided to apply for Permission. Your responses had quite a big part to do with it - after convincing myself you weren't just saying all this to be kind (and it sounded as if you were sincere; I'm just really paranoid sometimes), I decided that first thing tomorrow morning I'd ask a couple of questions about applying for Permission. If I can post something that isn't fiction per se as my writing sample, I'm good to go. Watch out for the top of the board, I'm gonna be inundating the board with questions.

Also, thanks for those who have said 'Writing 'Sues is a natural stage of writing'. I accpet that, it was more that I misinterpreted it when I wrote my second 'Sue - I figured that good writers only ever wrote one. I was wrong. My bad. :P

Kill it with much fire.

Like the CCS character then. I actually kinda like that name but I don't think I could get away with naming a kid that outside of China. What "normal" moniker did you end up using? I had a few Asian friends in Australia and one was called "Nii" but she told everyone her name was Jessica.

I'll start! *Wolfs down five Apple pies in 15 minutes using 'Mouth of Steel' powers*

I used to go to school with a girl named Endless Yue.

My mom was telling me about this guy she knew named Morning.

And I used to call myself thus: Nyx Artemus Saga le Fay. Thankfully, I stopped. *is ashamed*

(Yes, Artemus. The babyname site said it was real. D:)

This Sue is causing me to be speechless.

...I went to grade school with a boy named Sky. Just remembered. XD

...does the daemon talk a lot, to little point and purpose? (Pelloneus = Polonius? From Hamlet? No? My attempt to make the badfic funny...)

"began my descend" ?
"challenge rating" ?
Kill it dead, please.

My history teacher was telling me about a girl he went to school with named "Moonbeam Meadows".

Sounds like a housing development...

... as are many of the kids of my parents' classmates (at UC Berkeley in the '70s).

I went to high school with Arwen and Eowyn, but my school is named Avalon, so...

The Dean of Students at my school is named Tom Riddel. No joke.

"The dangers of almost copying the script..." Brilliant.

Egyptology nerds, I mean.
