Arrows of the Queen, Last Herald-Mage, To Catch a Thief, and in the process of reading Exile's Valor/Honor. XD I'm actually fairly new to the Lackey fandom, but I'm enjoying it immensely. I plan to read the dragon-jousting series next...

*huggles her new carnivorous rubber pet* Gorsh, I feel like an Oscar winner. You love me! You really, really love me! *teary eyes, blows kisses*

In answer to a few questions . . .

Neshomeh, I would be delighted if you would like to take stewardship of Dio and Su for "Subjugations." They don't make too much of a mess, I promise. And they come with a bonus of Ithalond and Mithiriel, the latter of which is a house-cleaning demon. Of course, I'd help any way I could. There's no way I'm condemning anybody else to PPCing that turkey alone.

Araeph, it's not necessary to have read "Gates of Fire" to get all of Suicide's personality; he actually appears only peripherally in the novel, and the version I'm using of him is more of an uncanonical fanon approximation than the genuine article. Wikipedia et al should give you the info you need on his novelized appearances.

If you want to borrow or cameo Suicide and Dio anywhere, that's fine with me, though if Neshomeh is their primary steward then you'd have to clear it with her. This would apply to anybody wanting to use them, cameo or otherwise. I'd like to think that they got out and about occasionally

OFUFF is dead as the proverbial doornail, I'm afraid. If anybody wants to use anyone/anything from there, they're more than welcome. It was pretty much doomed when my student files got wiped out in my last drive crash. Miss J and all students are free to good homes, though in the case of the students, I'd recommend disinfecting them first.

I'm not vanishing entirely; I'll continue to lurk and read PPC, and I'm available at sixtyofnine2138@yahoo.com if anybody wants a beta or just to chat.

Thank you to everyone for your help and friendship over the years. *pours a jug of Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster* Have an e-one on me. More than one, if you like. You're all fabulous, and you'd better know it!

THat could work... I'mma gonna get permission to do it, though, first, y'know, and all... Er. Or something. |D

It's the trouble that once you've said "these are my original characters," and those original characters are associated with an online name that also does PPCing, and then a book is publishing featuring those OCs--fanbrats can connect the dots and see a lawsuit for compensation for pain and suffering. It's not so much your real name, but your online name having both PPCing and OCs-which-go-pro associated with it. I don't think a pseudonym will be necessary.

That was a fun time. I will be reading the new book once it is released to the masses. Hopefully we will get to kill some Sues from your work!

Which serise have you read?

I have read almost all of her books.

Maybe if I ever seriously start work on the novel I'll take them down ...

Still sad because if I do get published and try to keep the novel and my fanfic separate that means I can't plug it here or on my LJ when it does get published. *sigh*

Oooh, Germany~ *is jealous*

Thanks! :D I'm sure I will~~

Nah. A lot of professional artists do both their original work and stuff that would basically be fanart and display both; there's a lot of derivative art work that's professionally shown and sold, along side completely original stuff.

However, that doesn't really work with novels, since the two can get mixed, but from what I've seen so long as the two are kept separated (EG, don't stick the fanfic right smack in the same place as your original work if it's prominent) it's not really troublesome (after all, regular fanfic writers who aren't published are subject to the same problems of legality as the published writers who do fanfic), but can be occasionally weird.

I dunno, I'm going to Germany in a couple of hours. Bratwurst seems appropriate.

Hope you enjoy it here and have fun and stuff!

Indeed they do! Thank you kindly! :) ... I could actually almost play one, once-upon-a-time...

Welcome to the PPC! I give you a harpsichord. Because harpsichords make everything better.

Heh, better question would be what fandoms am I NOT? XD I range all over the place - LoTR, HP, Peirce, Lackey, various Anime/Manga, RPG... and so on and so forth.

To be safe? Or what?

Welcome to the PPC. What fandoms are you into?

Hullo all! *spastic waving* I'm a newcomer, and figured I should introduce myself. :) I'm Tiff [sometimes known as Soba], a friend of Le Jai's [and was prodded into PPC by JulyFlame]. I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to PPC, but I'm quite willing to learn, and very much looking forward to getting to know everyone!

I think there are a few writers (actual published writers) who still write fanfiction. And not just novelists, but people in the video game industry and stuff who've worked on the game canon who've done fanfic for the game they worked on...

Like Laburnum said, tis all a matter of separating published work from fanfic.

Also, I don't think anyone would be surprised at a newbie showing up referred by an old inactive member. *coughs discreetly*

This isn't my contingency plan at all if I get published, myself. No sirree.

We'll miss you! Congratulations on your novel!

In fact, we have missed you. *hugs* Take care and good luck with life and the writing.

I'm in the middle of a really long monster myself so I won't read all of it, but if you really can't tell, you can always just pick whichever department you have agents from, or you can do a co-authored mission. If you had a DIC Agent, you could team up with someone from DoGA and get rid of it together, and visa versa.

I praise you for taking on such a long fic, because ow, at least my 62-chapter thing didn't have really long individual chapters.

I intend to claim that I hang around HQ and nobody has kicked me out yet because every time somebody is about to they find me doing something useful like cooking or cleaning and leave me alone because nobody else wants to do it.

Agent Savitri is definitely in, though she may have to put Leo on a leash in their RC...

I've always loved your missions, so I'm sad to see you go. But you can still visit, right? And yay, published! *squees*

Actually, that's something I've been worried about. My solution has been to not post any of the stories I might want to submit, keep my name out of online activities, and wait until there's actually some chance of getting published before I worry too much.
