But can:t read it right now, as I am in Japan and don:t have acess to an English book store.

If you wanted to send me the book..... I could help you, after I devour it.....

Leto

YAY FOR CHAPTERS!!!!!

CAn;t wait to see what occurs.

As for volunteering, nto so sure if Kit woudl do that, although he might have.

May the blessings of the Valar and the Canon go with you.
And as a parting gift, my Minis are currently tackleglomping you.

Have fun in Real Life! We'll miss you at HQ.

Bye, Inky. You were fun to have around. Stay in touch, 'kay?

You're fun people, Inkling. I'm glad you spent a while here.

Bye, Inky. We'll miss you.

Losing friends because you don't want to be in a club anymore never helped anyone. Livejournal contact might be a good idea.

To each their own. I certainly don't blame you for feeling guilty, though I wish you could stick around anyway. Still, 'tis up to you.

*hugs* Have a great life, hon.


(...And feel free to come back if you change your mind!)

It's been fun times, and I'm sure you will be greatly missed. I'll certainly miss you.

*presents you with a parting gift of personalised stationery and a basket of Bleeprin-berries*

Bye bye, and I hope you do well with everything you want to achieve.

Agent Eledhwen: *gives you a golden spork with Elvish engravings and the like on the handle* Use it wisely!

Agent Christianne: *gives you a box of Bleepolate chip cookies* I hope they're not too burnt. Locy accidentally sniffed up a lot of pepper while helping me make them.

Locy, Mara Labingi, and Ithillien: *give you a charred Sue head on a silver platter* Grrrowl. (Translation: Bon appetit!)

It's good for you.

Have a combat spork, and a guide to Mary Sues.

Oh yeah, and Drake tosses in his do it yourself mary sue barbuce kit. please don't ask. Naomi is making him give his away. don;t ask about that either.

Here.

Rabies.

Happy Birthday.

(http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ is to what I am referring. I recommend "Inspiration v Perspiration".)

Today let us put aside our many many differences and grudges to celebrate! I mean, sure, you're a damn wuss who won't even be blown up by a Death Star for my satisfaction but... *growls*

... Here, have a present. *shoves box tied with a big red bow into Plat's hands* Ignore the ticking sound.


~Oozaru Angel, who does sincerely wish Platinumyo a happy birthday.

*cough* Please ignore the squeaky voice.

Happy B'Day! I give you several Nice Shiny Daggers, courtesy of Galadriel, a chocolate muffin, a kitten and a dartboard. Yes, those are Suepics on the face. Have at it!

*hugs*

*many hugs and kisses*

I hereby present you with your very own super-size bag of pebbles, along with a sling, and a large punnet of Bleeprin-berries.

*whispers something in your ear involving the words "maybe", "meet up" and "later"* *winkwink* XD

Have a good day!

Have a Redeemer and a flak cannon. Long ranged thermonuclear destruction teamed with close range gut-shredding shrapnel rounds. What better?

Oh, and here's some bleepolate iced birthday cake as well.

... It's the one where Harry gets the Deus ex machina Bracelet that lets him utterly destroy a mass of Death Eaters at Platform 9-3/4 RIGHT?

And... *is embarrassed about sounding ignorant* what's extant mean?

Plat, OA and I were having an ideas session for OFUTRC the other day, and somehow we got onto the subject of OFU badfic. Mostly encouraged by Plat, the first idea we came up with was, of all things, Misslash. Yep. Miss Cass/Miss Angel.

I think there is a section on Fanficland for OFUs. What makes the idea of OFU staffslash a little worrying is that pairings that would ordinarily have been separated by time and distance suddenly become plausible. Turin/Boromir, anyone?

At the same time, it does sound fun. Sort of like what we do for FanficLand, right?

I feel like this is going to be TrainWreck Syndrome, but... yeah, it does sound fun!

If she's not a BNF, I dunno who is. It's sad, in a way, but also happy-- if mainly for her, because she no longer has the muses and the masses breathing down her neck constantly for a new chapter.

Also, so good! SO GOOD.

I stayed up 'till 2 in the morning reading both 'fics through. And all I can say is: wow. Absolutely fantastic.

I really don't have time for this, of course... I'll probably just save it and read it later.

Thanks for the tip, Lily!

As much as we would have liked it to, Penny's story could not have continued forever. I personally am happy with the way it ended, because it seems right.

*wishes she knew boz4PM's RL address so she could send chocolate and flowers*

That it's not just "Anti-Lust Spray", but rather "RC Anti-Lust Spray". This suggests, to me, that the Flowers don't want it taken on missions - perhaps because of the harm it could do to canon. (Plotbunnies, go!)

giving me another distraction to add to TVTropes as a way of sucking out my lifeforce (or at least making me lose track of time for hours on end).

Never know what people are willing to come up with these days.

I bet it's pepper spray or something like that. Nothing stops misdirected lust like horrible burning pain to the eyes.

Anti-Lustin in aerosol form. Nice.

~Neshomeh

We have WASH now? When did that happen?

And, great mission, as always. I don't know the continuum much myself, but I was able to follow along once I figured out what SGA stood for. {= )

~Neshomeh

'Pansy started to sob because she relized it was true. Her ratty not shiny black hair limped around as she ran out of the room weeping.'

Anyone else imagining a hairball limping around the room? I've added features to make it resemble a Wookie from Star Wars!

Troll. Troll troll troll troll troll. Trolly trolly trolly.

Troll.

Well, I say nice. I'm struggling for a word that means 'horrifically laughable'

I mean, life is precious. They spend their time doing THIS? *sigh*

I'm betting my sanity on it.

*offers a box of biscuits* Well met, and all that. Afraid I don't know much about your areas, but it's good to know there're other things out there, yes?

You'll need them! I only learned about Warhammer 40000 from Wikipedia and TvTropes, but I kow you'll need them.

Yay for new people!

I gift you with an egg whisk--it's shiny, gold-plated, and not only whisks eggs, but spambots and author wraiths as well! Be sure to use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride!

Have a harpsichord. Because harpsichords make everything better. And have a battleaxe, because battleaxes are cool.

This Warhammer 40,000 sounds most intriguing. Chainsaws and flamethrowers, you said?

Seeing how Ansela gave those links, and y'already knew anyway, I bestow upon you a bite. Which may or may not give you rabies.

Agents Eledhwen and Christianne bestow unto thee a gilded spork, while Lucy Pevenzi, Locy, Mara Labingi, and Ithillien give you a mini glomp.

...

I think they thought you were an OFU student. That has GOT to hurt.

Becuase it's been too long since newbies were poked. :P

Welcome! I see the others have already given you all the links... I don't think it's been mentioned that you need to hang around for a month or so before asking for Permission, so I'll say it... er, have said it. If you've been wandering the wiki you've probably found the Permission page anyway.

Hmm... not much else to say, I'm afraid, as I don't know any of your fandoms. Ah, well. Good to meet you!

- Sedri

Welcome, winter! I gift you with a ball of purple and gold rubber bands. Use them wisely.

Sure. What faction are you in warhammer 40k? I'm a Space Wolf fan.
Hail to Leman Russ.

I offer you a starter kit of a bolt pistol that fires spork ammunition, and a set of PPC complinent power armour. Welcome.

Hail and well met, and other such greetings!

Welcome to the PPC proper!

*gives you a bag of pebbles for throwing at Sues and a Random Shiny Object* Here you are! Newbie-gifts!

Ansela seems to have given you the necessary advice and links already, so I'll just add my agreement. Read thou not the Legendary Badfics, lest ye be brainscarred!

And in case you were wondering, yes, I am a co-writer for the OFUTRC. Why not sign up? XD

Welcome to the PPC! It's always nice to see a new face.

Here is an egg! No clue what'll hatch from it.

*hands you a large egg*

Have a P-90. I know nothing of your fandoms, but all are welcome here. Have you by chance visited the Wiki yet? Or read The Original Series (not be confused with Star Trek).

Beware of those offering links to Legendary Badfic. Even the Wiki summaries have been known to scar minds. If someone offers you links to Legendary Goodfic on the other hand, feel free to read.

Come in, join the fun and leave your sanity at the door. You will not need it here. Sinister laughter? What sinister laughter?. Don't worry; most of us don't bite...most of the time anyway.

Really, I do.

So then why do I keep clicking on TVT links?

(From my little interlude bit: "He's GAY, Drake, and I don't mean in the jovial sense! Queer as a three-dollar bill, bent as a threpney bit, and gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide!"
"... May I add to that list 'thoroughly humiliated and in need of a strong drink'?")

Save us from arrogant, pretentious nitwits!

Do you have a copy saved? Can I leave a scathing review? No flames, but this person badly needs a reality check.

~Neshomeh, who used to talk down to the readers in her early years, but never on this scale.

I followed a link from Cake Wrecks. It's incredibly funny, and it's allowed through the school filter! :D

Much appreciated. First the Engrish.com link, and now this. I could almost forget about my day job.

*Agents Mara and Isaiah salute*

I wonder if we could get a picture of that sign from the Gathering up there...

...Awesome. Seven kinds of sheer, unadulterated awesome (and this from the young lady who will loudly point out misplaced apostrophes and other errors on signs at the supermarket).

Technically, he's a major canon character and a major Real World author, even if the canon is mercifully ignored by almost all of the Pit. I mean - would you conscript Tolkien to the PPC cause by travelling back in time and kidnapping him?

I don't mean to piss on your parade, in a manner of speaking in mixed metaphors, but it seems a little dubious.

...What exactly do you want? Are we going to make him a patron saint or an agent or what?

Or perhaps he could be adopted as a patron saint of PPC-the saint of retribution.

I throughly enjoyed this. You write so well, and so amusingly. I love your agents...it probably has something to do with my Trekkie heart.

I find myself liking Crelmos quite a bit. The sheer bastardry in him is most impressive.

I love your Agents, I really do. Their interaction, the way you write them... it's awesome. ^_^

Very nice mission.

I always liked the Cardassians. They made such great bad guys, and Dukat and Garak were just cool in their own ways. Good mission. ^_^

I think "hate" is too strong a word, really, but meh. I think I was polite in my review... I pulled no punches, but I don't think I was rude. I never insulted the author directly, anyway. Just the character. >.>

~Neshomeh, who just really doesn't appreciate being condescended to.

Great story. I just to get one thing sorted out. the Mary-Sue/horse goddess/object of everyone's lust was only eleven years old right?

Very nice. Good choice for method of execution.

For the record, yes, larger cup sizes can be very irritating, and I've never met a girl with one who didn't complain about it. To begin with, it's hard to find shirts that fit right...

I've told you this before, but I love Crelmos. And the Cardassian-ification of Teek was awesome.

She won't be doing those essays, of course, because she thinks she's above doing essays as the Lady of...whatchamacallit.

Here's some torture ideas!
1) If you don't do homework you are waken up in the middle of the night for a torture session in the gym (or that place with the pillars).
2) Sharpen a yardstick. Throw it at a student.
3) Shoot students for not turning in their homework.
4) Screw a student's thumb to the table for fun.
5) Hang students for fun.
6) If a student with long hair is playing with it, cut the hair, slam it on the desk or table, and yell, "Play with THAT instead!"
7) Throw staplers at students
8) Swing arms around to purposely smack students sitting in the first row.

These are all rumors spread regarding my history teacher. Har har.

I go to Canada and I miss stuff. o.O I thought I'd been paying better attention to the boards, but... huh. *goes to read* Yay, OFUTRC. <3

I go to Canada and I miss stuff. o.O I thought I'd been paying better attention to the boards, but... huh. *goes to read* Yay, OFUTRC.

When do you want the essay in by in real time?

Loved it. especially the part with Kit and Trisha in the Magic Class. Would be interesting to know more wishes, of the students.

AND SQUEEEE!!! the pipe fox is there. Yes, Fox crazy.

Any of ye swabbies want to give me a hand? I gots a big keg o rum I be tryin to haul up!

Curse ye, Tawaki, ya scurvy bilge rat, for gettin' thar Gilbert and Sullivan songs stuck in me head!

*puts on standard pirate outfit*

I'm so sad I missed talk like a pirate day here (as well as so many other things because I haven't been to the PPC very often recently).

But just to let you fellow pirates know, if anyone uses facebook out there, you can change your language preference to English (Pirate) down at the bottom of the page. It's been making me laugh and smile all day. I thought that just might be the crazy off topic sort of thing some of you out there might enjoy.

*swigs whiskey*

FIFTEEN MEN ON A DEAD MAN'S CHEST
YOHOHO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM
DRINK TO THE DEVIL AND DONE FOR THE REST
YOHOHO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!!!

Gyar! Now drop her off the portside, first mate!

We're supposed to be singing about...

Piratey things!

I be working on my growl. Unfortunately, it don't sound very human. Arr!

I be rememberin' my first Talk Like a Pirate Day with this 'ere PPC. I were right new I was, an' found myself quite perplexerated by all these strange goings-on. Now, of course, I be one o' the crazies myself!

hS

*coughs* Right. An', jokes I'm not thinkin' anyone'll quite be getting aside ('less of course you've been in those parts), who's got the rum and/or other drinkables? That're unlikely t'kill us, a'course. Me, I've got the oranges.

Pass out the seaweed grog! An' the ham! (A nod to "The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists", which I got for my birthday two days ago.)

Very nice! Can't wait for more.

... a frustrating cliffhanger, damn you :P

No, srsly, loved it as ever.

Obviously, I predict that the day will be saved by reversing the polarity on the deflector dish using revolving frequencies and nanites. And then there'll be an asteroid and Bruce Willis will save us all and Ben Affleck will marry whoever is left standing.

Brilliant chapter. I wondered when the Sues would turn up. Although now, as ever, questions are clamouring to be answered.

Surely there are Agents left who are good enough to tackle the invasions? What on earth are the DIA and DES doing? What's going to happen to Dassie? Are the other Agents going to be all right?

I know you're not going to answer these till the next chapter comes out, but I'm asking them anyway.

1) There is a very perfect character who you do not recgonize from the Canon.
2) There is a blantant disregard for good English. (and the author is a native speaker or at least fluent enough to write a story)
3) The Canon characters are doing things they normally wouldn't do. (I mean...Caspian putting on makeup? Gimme a break!)
4) The Canon characters are saying things they normally wouldn't say. ("omfg lyke totally babe u lite mi fiah" sez kaspyun. What in the name of Aslan?!)
5) There are often references to pop culture in a world set before the personal computer was invented.

And you guys can take it on from there.

O_o

Want to borrow a flamethrower?

Well, I can't quite say. It looks like it's just someone borrowing the names of canon characters so they have a place to post their story.

I've added it to the "Unclaimed Badfic" list on the ppc wiki.

That hurts...really really hurts. And I had more faith in humankind...is nothing safe?
