The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

That one kicked off with a post from gutsygemiwrya, who isn't me (I forget who she was, though). As to when it was... tenth of July? Hmm. I'm away from the eleventh, so... might as well start it now, yes? It's not as though this is a precise art... all right, then, everyone get your badfic author hats on, Fanfic Land Admin will be making a post very soon.

By my dad, who always pulls such interesting faces when I start asking for random translations.

It's okay to make woobies if they're YOUR characters.

The annual badfic writing, I mean.

Yes, we as Canadians celebrate another year around the sun!

This is essentially a direct translation of the PPC description on the Wiki, with some tweaking to accomodate my rusty grammar.

Les Protecteurs de l’Action-Intégralité (PAI; PPC en anglais) est une organisation qui cherche à annihiler les fanfictions mauvaises. Les PAI trouvent les fictions mauvaises et écrivent des histoires (ou "missions"), dans lesquelles les Agents des PAI pénètrent dans la fanfiction et réparent les fautes. Les méthodes de la réparation différent selon les problèmes dans l’histoire; par exemple, Agents dans une Suefic tirent la Mary-Sue, après une lecture d’une liste des crimes qu’elle a commis.

The original, from the Wiki:
The Protectors of the Plot Continuum (PPC) is an organization dedicated to the extermination of badfic. PPCers find horrible fanfiction and write stories, called missions, in which PPC Agents go into the fanfic and fix the bad stuff. Their way to do this depends on the problems in the story; for example, Agents assigned to Suefic kill the Mary Sue, after reading her a list of crimes that she committed.

Literal Translation:
The Protectors of the Plot-Entirety (PPC in English) is an organization that seeks to destroy bad fanfiction. The PPC finds bad fiction and writes stories (or “missions”), in which the Agents of the PPC enter into the fanfiction and fix the faults. The methods of repair vary depending on the problems in the story; for example, Agents in a Suefic kill the Mary-Sue, after a reading of a list of crimes that she committed.

You guys are the best!

I kinda-sorta fanperson some of mine, but not in a Lust Object way.
About the closest I came to that was with an RP character of mine, after the GM had put him through hell again and again and again with no real pauses. Since I was focusing on keeping him IC with the personality I'd given him, I started feeling protective. The 'wrap them in a blanket and hide them from more suffering' feeling I tend to get when a fictional character I have some sort of empathy for suffers; and I sort of needed to understand what he'd be feeling/thinking in order to play him right.
However, I never actually took him out of the game or any other means of stopping it all. I kept playing him, after taking a short break IRL to get my perspective back.

Huinesoron was probably referring to the possibly-annual PPC Badfic Fest when he mentioned the agent slash coming later. If I'm reading the Fanfic Land PPC section right, it should be coming up in a couple of weeks or thereabouts. I imagine hS will be the one to announce it again. But if you want to get a head start and have something ready to post when the time comes, I don't think anyone will stop you. {= )

~Neshomeh, who has chickened out of writing PPC badfic two years in a row so far.

I'll do the Spanish one, I think, iffen and when(nen? ^^) I have time.

Admittedly, the one character I do sorta squee over was mostly based on a friend I have a crush on. Only the character's a god. But that might explain it... Yeesh, this has turned really embarrassing... *smacks Curiosity*
Curiosity: HEY! What'd I do?
C: Whops. (No I do not mean 'whoops'.) Confused you, a character from a story, with my curiosity. Which I am going to go kill now. She comes back. *goes and kills her curiosity*

Um... thanks for the reply. I'm thinking more and more that I had a language glitch with my phrasing and so didn't say exactly what I meant. *is now rather embarassed*

I'll get right on it!

...how do we go about starting an Agent! shipficfest? I distinctly recall reading about that in the last lot of shipfics.

Does it have to be one of the PGs, or just anyone, who announces it?

Thranduain greatly appreciates the bacon. :D

I create characters I squee over, but lusting after them ... I can't imagine doing so. ('Tis partly why I didn't want to get involved in the agentslash fad with my own two - pairing a character I publicly admit is my avatar with another character I created just creeps me out a tad. That and I noticed some eerie similarities between my agents and a couple in a webcomic I read, which I hadn't started reading when I made them, so I didn't want to make them any more similar to this webcomic couple by making *them* a couple ... that made better sense in my head.)

...make a definition in French of what the PPC is? Sort of what WikiMaster's doing and I'm betaing, in point of fact.

But I know a fair bit of French. (And Latin, but that's not really useful.)

Sorry; somehow I overlooked this thread last time I was online. *hugs*

Hope it was a great day!

Because really, it's very useful.

I see you've already been warned about the Legendary Badfics, so I'll just second that, and July should be along at any moment to drown you in The Links...

Enjoy!

Any persons who speak multiple languages willing to help me with the project of making a definition of what the PPC does in all languages possible?

Because that was the point of it, really.

I was just wondering. Ah well, for my curiosity I get funny looks. Question one was the one that was rather more important though.

As to the first, I'd say it'd be a lot of work and very difficult for both parties. If any Boarders speak Spanish you could ask them to write their posts twice (as in, one under the other) but to translate what's already there would be complex and time consuming. You could certainly try, but I think you, Ciri, would have to do a lot of it.

Perhaps you and your friend could go online together and you could read it aloud to him, and type in English for him?

Also, it could be very hard to translate the excessive word jokes. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but I think it would be very hard.


As to the second... Yeah, weird. Not bad, but weird. At least to me.
