Please let me gift you with a pot of black-hole coffee.

And here is a bag of black-hole chocolates for you.

Thanks for all of your welcomes, people! Much appreciated.

I would question why you have a black box just lying around.

But then I remember that they have a tendency to crash.

But still...

Welcome to this awesome community. You'll probably be inundated with replies soon enough.


I give to you a pack of cards, be careful that they don't go to war whilst your not looking!

Flamel and Septimus Heap? Good series, lovely systems of magic, very unique.

As such, have a Chocolate Charm! Good for food, and escaping.

I’m not the best with concrit, but have an early bird - I wish I was one...

Imagine if we had someone read ALL the lemons ever written and they had to judge which had the worst sex scene. Poor soul

...SPaG stands for Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar.

It says so on the website. Still, these are pretty funny.

Have a flashlight and the black box from a Boeing 747.

Have a set of Imperial Guard flak armor, guaranteed for life! (Projected lifespan of deployed Imperial Guardsman: 15 hours)

Maybe's it red AND yellow. Or maybe it changes. Or maybe it's not really there and our brains can't decide on a color? In this place, who can say for sure?

I can't tell what's actually going on (which makes complete sense, the viewpoint character's a little kid and so probably isn't going to be looking for rational explanations), but, whatever reality is in this story, it's something scary and messed-up. And the poor kid doesn't realize it.

If you wanted the reader to be rather disoriented bus still horrified/scared/..., you've succeeded.

I love me some tasty spaghetti!

Scatty is pretty cool. I like Josh. Machiavelli, and Prometheus the most, in that order. Josh, since I can relate to him and he basically turns into a god, Machiavelli since he's smart and turns good, and I just like Prometheus.

Having re-skimmed the rest of the fic, my overall thoughts are that this is good stuff. You have a nice mix of funny bits and serious bits.

One minor thing I'm confused on is where that glowing suitcase came from. Was she assembling it via spell diagram in the middle of the "I figured out your plan" monologue?

Have a ball. It’s either yellow or red, but I can’t work out which.

Earlier, GMA mentally scarred enlightened the chat with links to this year's Bad Sex in Fiction Award contenders and an archive of previous years and I thought I'd share with the Board at large. (This is all put together by the Literary Review and doesn't include erotic fiction and the like.)

Hi, PPC board! This is my first post in this community, and I am happy to be part of one!

Favourite books: The Hobbit, Alice in Wonderland, countless dinosaur books.

Favourite fandoms: Tolkien's works, anything to do with fantasy.

Here's a story I wrote!

"The hunter stepped through the portal his time belt produced in front of him. He planned to travel back to the early Cenozoic, to hunt some early lemurs or something. He didn't really know what his objective was. Anyway, whatever the plan, he was going to do something. He entered the portal.

The portal happened to lead to the Eocene Messel formation. The hunter spend his time dodging Gastornis, killing Leptictidium and Godinotia and pummelling Eurotamandua. Eventually, the hunter got bored and started jumping around like a spoilt brat having a temper tantrum. Suddenly he had a brainwave - he was going to travel before the dinosaurs.

He opened another portal with his time belt, leading to the late Permian. He walked through, with a dazed Eurotamandua hanging uncertainly to his backpack. As he entered the portal the confused xenarthran hopped off, crashing onto the ground. The hunter saw a completely different landscape.

There were sand and rocks as far as he could see, with volcanos bordering the western and northern sides of the lands. There was a forest in the middle. "That's where I'm going to go." The hunter said. He walked nearer and saw a predator, around 3 metres long. A Gorgonops. "They probably hunt in packs so I'm gonna kill it to attract more of 'em." He said.

He got out his sniper and shot at the Gorgonops. The proto-mammal yelped and fell on its side. Dead. He walked over to the body and stepped on something. Some sort of therocephalian, he thought. As the creature stopped struggling, he suddenly felt sick. As if he had done something seriously, seriously wrong.

A lion-like roar echoed across the landscape as another Gorgonops appeared. It roared at the hunter, who tried shooting it. His gun clicked. He tried to activate his time belt, yet didn't succeed. The creature charged as he finally managed to activate the time belt and run through.

He was greeted by a coastline in some unknown era. He looked around and saw what looked like a reptilian seal behind him. "What the ... hell are you?" he said, once again feeling sick. The creature let out a seal-like bark as the man screamed and disappeared."

Thanks for reading this!

Question: Is Scatty best girl or best girl!? :D

Anywho, welcome! Welcome! Um... sheesh, what to give you... umm...
