The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I believe we're all familiar with the snarky, sarcastic and otherwise silly attempts to make a basic disclaimer interesting. I'm also quite sure that most of you will have seen one or two really good ones around - ones that make you laugh or simply applaud the ingeniuity.

A while ago, I had a very vague idea of running a silly little "Disclaimer Awards" thing. I never bothered trying, though, as it's very easy for somebody to sit down and think up a list of good ones, and even to put them into their various stories just to be eligible for nomination. Still, every time I found a particularly good one, I kept it, and I feel like sharing:


All characters, settings, trademarks, etc are the property of J.K. Rowling. After carefully checking my bank account, I am, apparently, not she.
Guilt and Innocence by Cassie Payne


Disclaimer: Please pay attention because this is the only time I will say this. I AM JK ROWLING. Also please note that that was a complete and utter lie. Thank you for your time.

The Art Of Lion Taming by The Queen Marauder


I don’t own Narnia or the Pevensies or anything else created by C.S. Lewis. Wish I did, but if wishes were horses, I’d still be a terrible rider.
Fealty by Miniver


I am not C.S. Lewis, as I am not male, British, and dead. Thus, I make no money from his creation, I just enjoy doing sadistic things to it.
I Believe by Dana Skywalker


Disclaimer: I own a wardorobe. Although checked countless times, there is no Narnia in the back so well I don't own it.
Knight in Shining Armour by VioletBlueBells


And the cream of the crop...

J.K. owns the rights to this;
She has the fame and glory.
All I have is one small space
In which to tell my story.
So, if you have a little time,
And nothing else to do,
Read this tale of Severus
And leave a kind review.

- Highly Improbable by Vocalion


Have you seen any others around that are clever, funny, or simply strange? Please share!
(And, if you can, include a link.)

I see the others have already given you most data, so I will simply add that we encourage as much interaction as possible; don't be shy. Before I joined, I was rather shy of posting in other people's threads in case I was intruding. The PPC pretty much cured me of that ;p

Welcome to the board!

Have a Blumble flavored ice cube. ;)

Welcome! Here, have a sharp pointy object of your choice. Please leave any sanity you may have at the door.

(Means "very good" in Italian, I think.)

Only don't use it right after reading the Legendary Badfic; we don't want to actually see what's going on in those monstrosities.
Yeah, you're in the right place, as you can tell from the multitude of assurances. Just hang about a month, learn about the PPC, and you should be set.

I hate it when typos like that happen. grrr...

~Zoe~

...they're less like souls and more companion-like, right? Of course, so are daemons...
Rather similar, then. They could be confused with each other.

I think it's been more than a month already...and I've already claimed another badfic to use...
But nevertheless, how do I get my PPC fic submitted?

This is most definitely the right place to post!

Newbie-presents! Throw the pebbles at Sues and marvel at the shininess of the Shiny Object.

Now, requirements for PPCing.

Upon joining the Board (i.e. this place) you are generally asked to wait about a month, posting and letting everyone get to know you.

During that time, you should check out the Original Series, written by Jay and Acacia, and the PPC Wiki, both of which you will probably be given links to by someone. You should also check out the works of Huinesoron, the resident chronicler of PPC history and lots of other stuff.

After that month, you can post, asking for Permission to write your own missions from the Permission Givers, a list of whom is on the Wiki. In that post you should include the profiles for your Agent or Agents, and a link to some of your origninal writing so the PGs can get a feel for your style.

Hope that helps! And once again, lovely to see new faces!

I've been needing something to do ever since that hS character gave up on me, so I'm very grateful for the chance at an outing. Any time you need me to drop a storm on someone's head, look me up.

Unless it's an Agent. I get in trouble for that.

I should have known that too. I studied Japanese for two years, so it should be firmly lodged in here. *Sighs* Sorry.

That happened back in March. This would just be a blip on our collective Radars.

Hiya, and welcome! I see you've already read some of the Legendary Badfics, nice way to dive in headfirst!
Of course, substitute the word 'Nice' from the word 'insane' and you'll catch my real meaning...

The Bleepolate should help easy the headache from those. You know of all our little inventions and slang, right?

Anywho, welcome again, and try not to slip on the marbles rolling around. They may be yours one day.

Congratulations on a job well done.

Welcome to the insanity! That is a major requirement, being insane. If you aren't right now, then you will be! HA HA HA!

*dragged away by partner to be restrained until slightly calmer*

Yes, I am a MASTER, not a mistress...

But thanks anyway, I love hats! :P

"I shall desire you of more acquaintance, good Master [or Mistress] Cobweb; if I cut my finger, I shall make bold with you." -A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act III, Scene I

Welcome! I give you a coxcomb. It's a strange sort of hat. Don't act so scared; we're not scary people. Well, not very scary, anyway. Most of the time, we're quite nice.

But if anyone decides to find out, let April know, because she'd love to help with the experiment.

I got here becauuuuuuse... I was searching the internet for horrible fanfics (love reading 'em) and stumbled across a website in which the heroes killed the evil Mario Sues- MissSandman.com. I was hooked.

My favorite fandom is... Harry Potter.

I read Legendary Badfic. My mind is now scarred.

Yet. >.>;;

Beyond the wiki links I see Ansela has already tossed at you, I offer another one of an FAQ.

And also wonder how you ended up here. *grins toothily*

Hello! Welcome to the PPC!

Generally, you spend a month or so on the Board, posting and letting us get to know you. Then you make a post requesting permission to write missions, along with a writing sample and agent bios. The Official Permission Givers (and their Hat) look over the writing sample and decide whether or not to give permission.

What fandoms are you in?
