The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I should love to try an RP.
...of course, no one's heard of my agents until now since my Orientation Month isn't quite up yet, but they would very much like to come.

:)

Anything potentially litigious (such as PPCing, which falls under parody but could still be the cause of trouble from butthurt fanbrats) has to go. And no, the agent didn't lay down rules as such . . . I'm taking the hint and doing it on my own. He doesn't know much about my OL activities; he's an old-fashioned pro, and probably isn't really familiar with the world of online fanfiction.

I think any work you've done with your own OCs should be fairly kosher; that's your intellectual property. When they become associated with a specific project that's being optioned, for money, then trouble begins as far as housecleaning.

And if you could take care of Dio and Suicide, that would be awesome. I'd help out as much as required, of course . . . but as far as authoring new sporkings, I'm kind of on shaky ground. :(

Well, on the one hand, it's wonderful that you've finished and published your novel. Kudos!

I would consider taking them, but my Orientation Month is not quite up yet and I am unsure if you'd want someone you don't even know taking your agents.

Best of luck with everything, though, and I shall look at the website.

Exactly what kind of internet housekeeping are you having to do? Did your agent lay down some guidelines, or what?

~Neshomeh, who has a fair bit of stuff about her OCs in various places, not to mention having RPed with some of them.

I'd wondered if you were going to be back here or not. The Real World is kind of a slap in the face, isn't it? Suddenly all the stuff you've been doing for simple entertainment could result in Legal Issues, and not the fun Legal that we have. {= P

Not that getting published isn't awesome. I believe I've already gushed over that on dA. {= ) But still... real life is a little scary.

As for "Subjugation," I'd been thinking of possibly tackling the whole thing myself, since it isn't really getting done like it was supposed to. I'd be glad to pick up Dio and Suicide for the purpose. (I could consult with you for characterization, right?) On the other hand, I don't know how long it will be until I can get to it, or at what point (I hope) I'll find myself in your situation and simply have to quit altogether. So... consider me if no one else steps up, I guess, but only if. I still plan to do my part, though. I think it was the part after yours...?

~Neshomeh,

My writing has improved immeasurably since I started sporking things with this bunch of nutters :) I only hope that I can get my Proto-Novel to drop its prefix sometime soon.

Anyway, my sincerest congratulations. This is an amazing achievement.

I wouldn't ask you to take on another pair of agents if you're already booked full.

And yes, published. *bright red face* The book is "The Hairy Man and the Sack." The hardback rights have been optioned by Five Star, but my agent thinks he can get a paperback deal with DAW Publishing, too. I'm currently living in the limbo of Editor Time, waiting to hear back from them. If the PPCers are interested, I'll post more info when I get it.

And really, I owe a lot to the PPC. It was my writing apprenticeship . . . working with a Boardful of awesome writers, practicing sporking. :D

I wouldn't mind leaving Dio and Su as free-floaters, as long as people remember that Su is actually a Stephen Pressfield character.

I don't know what DeviantArt's policy re OC doodles is . . . I haven't addressed that. There's a load of my character art on there. Maybe I should take that down, too . . . hmmm.

Yes, I still follow PPCings, even if I don't spork. I'm not comPLETEly soulless, after all. And if my work inspires badfic, I'd want to know about it! :D

I already have four agents and two child characters to handle, so I can't take them, but they may feature in the background in a few places. Maybe you could just leave them free for anyone to use, like Jay and Acacia now seem to be?

I should take down the doodles of my OCs on my devArt page, if it could lead to legal issues if I try to get it published ... at least I haven't actually written any of their story yet.

Will you still read here even if not spork?

I'm afraid I can't really take on another pair of Agents, but I'm sure someone will. I would be willing to do a cowrite to finish Subjugation with someone, but taking it on by myself would basically mean it would never get finished.

That said. Oh. My. God. A PPCer is getting PUBLISHED! We wantsss names and titles and release dates, yess precioussss, we doessss!

Er. Please?

*holds a funeral for the ofu*

sorry to hear that. but these things do happen.

Hence the death of OFUFF. Granted, that was dying anyway, but it looks like this is kaputski for most of my fandom activities.

Sorry you can;t ppc any more. guess tha tis why also you can;t do an ofu, right?


hopefully your agents will find a new home.

Hiya, everybody! *waves* It's been ages, I'm afraid. And as much as I hoped I'd never do this, I've got a reason for turning up on this board after so long.

The problem is, I loved PPCing. .... Ing. Loved. It. But while I was PPCing, I was writing a novel, and now that novel is in the process of being sold. I posted the name and pieces of my novel while I was working on it, on the same LJ that I posted my PPCings. And if I want to avoid legal issues once the book is published, I can't continue sporking other peoples' work.

:( I've missed you all, guys. Board snowfights and tearing the hell out of badfic were wonderful. I met a lot of awesome people on this board, even if I haven't been able to keep up with you.

The reason I'm posting here is that I need to transfer ownership of my agents, Diocletian and Suicide, as well as their minis Narnia No-Longerfled and Thiranduil. This would also mean asking their new writer to complete the unfinished first portion of the "Subjugations" mission, a killer in and of itself. But even if they just continue for that one mission, I'd like to see the end of it. And I'm hoping one of you guys can help.

The PPCings themselves are going to be transferred from my Livejournal to the website at http://www.geocities.com/sixtyofnine2138. The new writer could, if they liked, take over this site, or do as they pleased with the characters and the writings.

*shakes a tin cup* Don't leave these agents homeless! Alms! Alms!

Without giving away too much, we have a storyline planned involving "her". (Kit, please say NOTHING about this potential storyline, and I'll do the same. Lack of spoilers is good.)

Agent Lizzy is so in.

~Zoe~

We could try scaring them off by watching Titanic or something else soppy, but really, I'm not too fussed - it's not like our parents are around to be scandalised. ...Not to imply that we're all like Lux (*wince* is she coming? Please say no....), but PPC agents tend to be far too mentally scarred to be troubled by such things.

If it's not too much trouble, may it take place before this Sunday?
~ Eni, who suddenly realized French Camp is around the corner.

There are no guarantees at this point, but Friday and Saturday afternoons-nights are best.

~Neshomeh, who suddenly has twice as many five-page papers as she expected to have to write. {= P

If I can make it, absolutely. Jenni volunteers to make tea for people who won't/can't drink and generally be a chaperon, if necessary. {= )

~Neshomeh

A friend of mine is currently over there with JET (http://www.jetprogramme.org/) She's been over there for two or three years now and is enjoying it a lot.

Unfortunately for me, (and many others) they only accept people with University degrees, not college.

Unfortuately I don't know anything else other than that. I'm sure I could pass on some questions for you about the program if you wanted.

~AW~

And congrats on the insane number of missions.

So I guess this is a good time to ask; when is everyone free?

Assuming it doesn't coincide with Bastille Day, because on that date Maria will be busy debating the Napoleonic Wars with Agent Javert.

naomi definately woudl come. drake woudl come using teh dorks, defrinately.
