You did. Immediately volunteers as a participant.

I've little else to do - I'm up for it.

Also PPC Citation Needed at some point too =]

Thanks! And sorry, since this is all I've written of them. I considered using some of my existing characters, but decided against it to avoid continuity nonsense.

This definitely isn't World One--initially Will wasn't even supposed to be from World One, just a fourth wall breaker, but then I realized afterwards that the McDonald's coupon would mean he'd have to have at least visited, so him being a visitor from World One would be the most likely explanation.

Heather's a fighter, hence being able to sling Will over her shoulder so easily. It was supposed to come up, but it never did because of how abruptly their adventure got cut short.

Will has told Heather that there are people watching their lives as though it were fiction, and that they believe it to be fiction. He's also told her that they may as well make things interesting for them if they don't have anything better to do, which they don't.

(You can get animated rug-armor as soon as Will wakes up, at which point he will presumably make that his first order of business.)

Well, we're not TVtropes, so we don't need a page for every canon--though you should head over there and edit their page if you want to add extra information to a Loud House page.

But we do have pages on some continua that don't have missions in them. I'm not entirely sure if I was the one who added it, but I know I fleshed out the page for Uncle Tom's Cabin--because, although it's not got any missions in it, it's an early example of what bad fanfiction can do (minstrel shows, namely; they're basically made of cringe and take the characters completely out of character), and an example of extreme canon damage held together only by historians studying the novel. Evangeline St. Clare, a Canon Sue of the type that was popular back then, is also mentioned on the Canon Sue/Historical page.

You can see why we might want such a page on the wiki even though we'll probably never do a mission to Uncle Tom's Cabin--handling things as horrid as those minstrel shows would make it impossible to make the mission remotely funny. But it gives context, connects the Mary-Sue phenomenon to the classics, and gives an example of a situation where OOC can actually be serious business and hurt real people. (50 Shades of Grey, IMO, is another). Usually, bad writing is silly and funny and we've all written bad things in our past... but sometimes, it's pretty serious. And the PPC can get serious once in a while. It's why we never attack authors, only their writing--we care about real people no matter how snarky we get on paper.

There are also some canons that are in there for other reasons. Sometimes it's because we borrowed tech from them, like the Men in Black neuralyzer; or because they're also metafiction, like the quarantined Thursday Next continuum (note: may no longer be quarantined, but nobody's had the guts to touch it yet). Sometimes we cover them because there's a famous 'Sue in them, like Drizz't Do'Urden.

Anyways, that was a big digression--but the point is, you have to have a reason to add that particular page. Other than "I like it", what makes The Loud House so interesting in the context of the PPC? If it's just some small element (like maybe it created a new Sue color, or had some element of metafiction that the PPC also has), you can add that thing to the page in question, and link the mention to the Wikipedia or TVTropes page for Loud House. On the other hand, if there are just so many things that connect to the PPC that you find yourself wanting to edit a dozen pages that way, then create a Loud House page instead.

I've never actually read more than a handful of chapters. Live-reading would be much more fun than just slogging through it. {= D

If you don't mind a newbie with a sad lac of mic, that sounds like a great deal of fun.

Would people be interested in doing a group dramatic reading of My Immortal same as we did Blood Raiding Night a few years back?

We like to have an idea of who’s writing for us before giving the go-ahead. We’re a community first and a writing community second.

OK, so it's this Nickelodeon show about a family with the last name Loud (hence the title).

The family consists of the parents Rita and Lynn Sr. and their eleven kids:

Lori (17, bossy, talks on the phone a lot, head-over-heels for her boyfriend Bobby, says, "literally" a lot)
Leni (16, dopey but very kind, into fashion)
Luna (15, a rocker)
Luan (14, likes to tell jokes and pull pranks)
Lynn Jr. (13, loves sports, a bit boorish, likes spicy food, superstitious)
Lincoln (11, the only boy, likes to make plans, play video games, and read comics in his underwear)
Lucy (eight, is a goth)
Lana (six, likes animals, fixing things, and getting dirty)
Lola (also six; she's Lana's twin, likes tea parties, beauty pageants, and princesses, a bit of a brat)
Lisa (four, a child prodigy, does experiments)
and Lily (one, says, "poo-poo" a lot)

It's mainly a wacky slice-of-life comedy. The siblings do argue, but they do love each other and most episodes have happy endings save for a few, and even then, the ending is not *too* bad and it's only something like "Lincoln didn't get to see the end of his TV show".

In badfic, people often tend to either ignore the flaws of the characters (usually Lincoln, Luna, Leni, and Lucy get this treatment and it happens so often with Lincoln that it's gotten the nickname "St. Lincoln") or exaggerate the flaws and ignore the virtues (typically with Lynn Jr., Lori, Lola, Luan, and the parents).

There is also a shocking amount of incest fanfiction (so shockingly common that it's gotten the nickname "Loudcest") and smut about the kids (!!).

Another trend of 'Loud House' badfic is trying to rewrite the infamous episode "No Such Luck" (in which the family, in a fit of canon OOC-ness, throws Lincoln out of the house for being "bad luck") and end up just making the characters even more OOC and/or make Lincoln die or run away.

And that's about it. Honestly, I would very much *like* to get permission, but it seems so hard.

I'm not a PG, but having been around the block a bit I can say this much: Permission Givers don't tend to grant Permission to people they haven't gotten to know.

Relax. Hang out. Have some conversations.

And thanks for the sword~

Now I just gotta find enough people to crew it...
In return, have a perfectly detailed 1/144 scaled replica of the Argama carrier from Zets Gundam, with functioning launch catapults for model mobile suits!

Well then, since I need to properly introduce this character I had in mind, let's get started.

Name: Gizmo the Macaw
Species: Mobian macaw
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Home continnum: Sonic the Hedgehog (specifically, Sonic Forces)
Appearance: Green plumage; wears a black leather button vest over a black bodysuit, olive-green gloves and black boots.
Personality: Gizmo has an optimistic point of view in life, but it becomes undermined by how shy he is, so he doesn't socialize that much, but still has a few friends that look after him.
Likes: Sonic and friends.
Dislikes: Powerful villains.
History: As a civilian in Sunset Heights, Gizmo lived a good life back home, hanging out with different kinds of people and getting a taste of the hottest trends and listening to the latest news. He looked up to Sonic as a true hero whenever they mentioned him in the news, and he still does to this day. He admires how the Fastest Being Alive helped to defeat Dark Gaia and putting the planet back together and how he destroyed Eggman's amusement park in space to free the Wisps. He even admires the bravery of Sonic's friends. However, what makes Giz not speak out much is how he fears being labeled as an obnoxious fanboy who talks only about the International Hero of Mobius, much like Amy.
But just as all things must come to an end, those peaceful days died once Infinite showed up...
Once the planetary takeover of the Eggman Empire began, Gizmo had no choice but to hide with a cowardly will, doing his best to avoid Infinite. Before the Phantom Ruby's power could reach him, though, a plothole on a building's wall sucked him, saving him from being another victim of the onslaught.
Now, he lands at DoSAT, finding his way into HQ, seeing the PPC as the perfect opportunity to become strong enough to rise up against Infinite when the day comes. He thinks about joining the DMS, but he sees Sues and Stus too strong for his tastes, so he joins Bad Slash in the meantime.
Abilities: Not much formidable strength we can speak of, but he desires to train to be just as quick and strong as Sonic and friends.

For his first mission, I intend to have Giz and another knowledgeable agent to kill this badfic: https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=11&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiirqfAptXjAhXUi54KHRHBjkQFjAKegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fanfiction.net%2Fs%2F7744832%2F1%2FNii-san-the-Bloodedge&usg=AOvVaw2i73A9L5sPHIPKj5wvPbZ
It is a badfic for a few reasons I can identify:
-It breaks the canon in a massive way, most notably in the second or third chapter, if I can remember correctly.
-One of the canons berates another one uncharacteristically in favor of romancing the victim, which is harsh even for him.

Hopefully this will do.

/hands you some chocolate bark in return.

*hefts sword, straining* I will train in the ways of writing, and become strong enough to wield this sword, for I like shiny things!
Nice to meet you! I'm quite new, just arrived this summer.
Oh just in case you hadn't heard, the Board's shutting down in a few months, though the backup T-Board, for which I give thanks, will still be running.

T-this place still exists? My god, it’s been ages! Hope you all are well!I might try to write a few scraps here and there - watch this proverbial space!

For newbies who’ve arrived since I dropped off the face of the earth, I present a choice of gifts: Cu Chulaínn’s Gae Bolg, a Gothic-class Cruiser, a sword forged of starmetal, or a 4lb block of Vibranuim.

Welcome to the PPC! For your newbie gift, have a virtual chocolate chip cookie since I’ve been baking today.

Well, I guess I can call myself a person who really needs to concentrate more on what he does. So I'm considering YouTube Poop my one weakness because I wasted the whole afternoon yesterday watching a Dexter's Lab YouTube Poop collab.

As for myself, the vocabulary I aim to employ is one where I say and write the words of a gentleman in his manor enjoying a "cozy hot cup of Lapsang Souchong tea". Most of the mediums I like are video games, like Nintendo, Sega, Atlus, Arc System Works, Capcom and Namco (you can agree with me that I like crossovers like Smash Bros. and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle). I discovered you when I was browsing through TV Tropes in the "Happily Adopted" page when I saw that the PPC approved of agents adopting babies from badfic for the sake of giving them a better home, but my interest rose when Sues and Stus were mentioned, so I clicked the link to the trope list and now I know more of you people. A favorite character of mine would be Falchion (he's a sapient Skarmory, so it was expected of me to like a Pokémon) for being a representation of an author's realization that all of their stories sucked and aiming to become a better person in order to atone for the horrible stuff they did.

Anyway, now that I have completed the self-check test and read the Constitution way before requesting permission, I believe I am prepared to write some great stories.

In either case, congratulations.

And as for italics, HTML formatting on the Board uses the carrot-brackets: < and >. When writing an end tag use / >.

So this looks like < i > this i > when spaced out. The same goes for underlined (< u >/ u >) and bold (< b >/ b >). < em >/ em > works the same as italics, as well, as does < strong >/ strong >) for bold.
