The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

The book is Skulduggery Pleasant. It's actually quite good and I don't mind the Sue too much, it just startled me that the author would do that after he developed some pretty amazing characters. And I completely agree about some of the canon Sues. Daine from the Tamora Pierce books has some pretty Sueish tendencies, but she's gotten a lot better.

And I meant to post it to an ongoing discussion, but I'm having some difficulty with the board technology (which sounds kind of pathetic, but I'm absolutely awful when it comes to anything to do with technology, or the internet).

... my email is having some problems at the moment. If you send them over, they'll arrive but it'll take me a few days to be able to get to them. Send them on and I'll get back to you when I've fixed my email and got them; it's wordsmith101(at)btopenworld(dot)com (just insert punctuation as noted - trying to avoid spambots).

I know some canons which have Canon Sues. They're not always too badly written, and I've grown quite fond of some.

*ducks and runs for cover from the rabid anti-Sueists*

And just as a note, if you can post to an ongoing discussion rather than making a new post, that's usually appreciated, as there may be something further down that's getting shunted off the Board.

The scripts are all on GoogleDocs, so if you have an account there just let me have your address and I can share them with you.

If not, then let me have another e-mail address of yours and I'll send some things over as a Word Document so you can have a look.

The main character in one of my favorite books just turned into a Sue. And it wasn't even because of fanfic, the author himself did it. Will horrors never cease?

Excuse me while I spork my eyes out.

Can you send me some information on how to format the script and what-have-you? I've never really written in script format before.

It appears that S&S will not be appearing in the Movie. Would you be willing to do the script for the OFUR section to include Drake and Naomi in their place?

By "an item" I mean engaged.

…the Agents in question are already an item, and definitely do not believe in healing sex.

Seeing as for the next two weeks we have no JulyFlame, I'm offering to host a Skype chat this weekend so we can do the Eye of Argon, and maybe some other badfics.

If you're up for it, post your Skype name here- I already have:

Techno-Dann
JulyFlame
Just_theDoctor
Neshomeh
Crystal
Sara
Sedri
Platinumyo

Come and join in the insanity- if you haven't got a mic, you can still listen to the rest of us and riff via Skype IM.

Hope to hear you all later!

It won't be cheesy for the agent in question, whose bad news will be real and not simply designed as an excuse for angst and healing-whatever. (If it IS designed that way, best re-think it!) In any case, there's nothing wrong with comforting someone who's hurt as long as it's appropriate--healing sex, for example, is almost never appropriate. Since the circumstances will be different from those of the fic, the agent with the news should be able to separate the two enough to accept the help, even if comparing it to the fic is inevitable. For best effect, actual flashbacks ought to be reserved for the truly horrific.

Feel free to ask about the specifics of what you want to do, too. I mean, don't say who the agents are or exactly what the bad news is if you want to avoid spoilers, but the details of the fic and of what you'd like to have happen between the agents might help us give you better advice.

~Neshomeh, who can't ask questions about her missions without spoilers, since she only has one team plus Jenni.

I will be in Vancouver form July 28 ish, to August the 2. Then I fly off to Japan.

That puts a damper on it for me :(

Leto

Or Serena, Serenity, Selena, Katherine, Kate, Katrina, and their 'C' relatives like Catherine, etc.
Oh, and Courtney is a popular one too.

It does make sense, to have TP 'Sues, I just hoped it would be so *Sighs*

The Fynn is also not old enough to drink, though :(

Who's 'vailable in the Vancouver area between the second and twentieth of August, this summer?

Possible Thing To Do, unfortunately, will not include going to a pub a la York Gathering, as Le Jai is not yet legal drinking age in this area. *snaps fingers*

Aaaaanyway. Yes. Vancouver Gathering Y/Y?

Here's the link!

If scarring and totally out of character... not much. Unless it's done in a very different fashion than in the badfic.

and I can drive wherever this summer.

*pulls out a big chocolate filled with caramel*

Yay!

…an Agent receives tragic news from home. How much can another Agent comfort the first without triggering flashbacks?

I wish to request the attention of the Permission Givers.

I am requesting that my two Agents be given PPC status and allowed to start patrolling the continuums.

First Agent:

Luana Starlight
She is 24-years-old, with dark blond hair and gray eyes. She is a 5'10". She is slightly more responsible and a little less insane than her partner. The writer of the pair, she tends to get frustrated when something isn't easy to read. She enjoys reading well-written fanfiction and can't stand it when other people write Mary Sues or self-inserts that make no sense in the course of Canon. She does not mind reading AUs, except when they are badly written.
Because of her lifestyle, she enjoys different types of genres. This can include anything from Lord of the Rings to Star Wars to Monty Python. She has also already adopted a Mini-Balrog, Haildar, who is currently living in the family oven (don't ask).

Second Agent:

Orange Plaid
She is the younger sister to Luana Starlight. She is 20-years-old also with dark blond hair. She has blue eyes and is about 5'8". With a tendency to slack off when it comes to certain things, she is also the insane one of the pair. She also enjoys reading fanfiction with a tendency to stick to oldies but goodies. Loves to complain, loudly, about certain writers and their stories. With certain movies, she loves to MST them while watching, to the enjoyment of her sister/partner and their father, but to the annoyance of their other two sisters and mother.

They wish to join the Department of Floaters. They do not have any particular Canon they wish to join so they feel this would be the best place for them.

Here is a couple of samples of writing:

This one was written as a POV fic for a class.

Here is my account on ff.net. I do not know what else to offer for review.

And in the spirit of the exclamation, I shower you with sweets of your choice. Just reach into the bag and pull out whatever you want. They're all different kinds, but all heart-shaped. Wheee!

That's funny, last time I checked I was a jobless female.

Ah well, totally understand where you're coming from. Been there myself.
Hopefully we can work something out to everyone's satisfaction.

...my parents would NEVER let me out of town...hell, I don't think they'd let me go at all, even if it were in my (boring) town...protective parents and all that. To them, you're all (and I quote) "55-year-old truck drivers who would prey on a girl like you".

*le sigh*
