Feb 2011 Archive, part b

I don't usually read fanfiction myself, but I made an exception for this. It's awesome. *thumbs up*

There are a few technical issues with your writing sample, so I strongly suggest that you get a beta who loves to nit-pick, but yeah. Permission granted, have tons of fun.

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!

Are you just passing through, a lurker, a newbie...? Inquiring minds want to know!

(Also, try not to post multiple threads in a row. It's okay if you didn't know, but on this board each new post knocks an older one off the bottom, so we like to be conservative about new threads when possible. Thanks!)

~Neshomeh

My current theory is that the Horcrux implanted a younger, less psychotic. slightly defective copy of the Tom Riddle consciousness into the young Harry.

It should have been "goodfic"

Still not entirely sure why they went down, but for the moment, we have transmission again. Enjoy?

(And, for the record, Aura was written by Kaitlyn, not by me. I've kind of absconded with inherited her agents, though)

There's a thread about it here: http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=199610;article=206744;title=PPC%20Posting%20Board;pagemark=75 .

Those two are going to be my Agents if I ever get around to requesting Permission. Watch out for them.

I particularly enjoyed the 45 Life Lessons one and the Jack Chick one.

"8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
KF: YES! EXPRESS VERBAL PERMISSION!"

*snerk*

I loved the ending. I've always liked their console, but Xericka's threat and its response were the perfect way to end the mission.

Mariah Carey IS capable of class 3 bodily harm on people's ears! I KNEW IT!!
...uh, sorry. Good work anyway.

...Probably not. In retrospect, your version makes more sense than mine. But then again, this is the PPC, so heads will probably be rolling sooner rather than later.

The ending really cracked me up. Keep up the good work!

By the way, I know that the answer might likely be obvious, but what is "Xericka" an aragram of? The names of the nobodies in Kingdom Hearts are anagrams of their original names with an X added to them. It just been bugging me for a while now. Like, Axel= Lea, Roxas= Sora, stuff similar to that.

Knowledge of tennis is present.

Happy Birthday! *pulls out tray of fudge for the party*

...But have a triple chocolte (chocolate with chocolate icing and chocolate chip) cupcake anyway.

Fair winds!

Now you can throw a BBQ birthday party!

...heppy berfday to you, heppy berfday dear CAD-DYYYYYY...

*the Motley Band breaks out in six-part harmony and ritardandos*

Heeeeep-py beeeeerf-daaaaay toooooooooo yooooooooou....

I have nothing to offer but a plate of steaming pasta, due to my poor-college-student standing, so I'm hoping you like mac-and-cheese-from-a-box.

:D

Now I will steal your cake!

You leveled up, and gained +1 wisdom.

Have a good one bro!! One more year till your legal to drink.

Many happy returns, etc.

Have.. a.. little triangle of foam, I'm not sure where I got it. So here.

As I understand it, 20 is a pretty awesome age to be.

Anyways, what's a party without conical hats with pom-poms on them?

*affixes a conical hat with a pom-pom on it to caddy*

Have a bag of Imperial British coins--circa 1885, a badfic replica of A Study In Scarlet manuscript, and a pineapple with a bow tied to it.

Ah, Voltaire writes tbe best birthday music. In other news, Happy Not-Being-Dead-Yet Day! Have a wind-up flipping mouse that I did not steal from my sister at all, not even a little bit.

So yeah...Yay!

Here's the present: a hugh cake with your Lust Object inside! (we baked it before he/she gets in)

My present unto you: throwing stars! Careful, you could put someone's eye out.

Have some Primordial Clay.

Take the time to revel in that your mother forced you into the world, and that you are one year closer to the year you will die!

... yay!

Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday! Have a Pan-galactic Gargle Blaster!

Have this F-22 from my next mission.

If you do not know how to fly fighter planes, you can still exchange it with one of my folding cars. Careful, one of the ones I gave to newbies unfolded itself randomly.

Have a Random Item of Rassilon! I don't know what it is, but I swear I heard it growling...

Have your very own Plushie Companion Cube and Plushie Talking Portal Turret Gun. Neither will try to kill you.

Happy Birthday!

*rummages for Birthday Present*

I hereby present you with a sack of pebbles, your very own customised sling to throw them with, and a basket of delicious and nutritious Bleeprin-berries, hand-picked by yours truly.

What flavor is the cake?

But anyway, hope that you have a very fun time during your birthday! After all, why waste it?

Have a Mysterious Item of Mystery! ... I have no idea what it is. It's that mysterious. o.o;

~Neshomeh

You could just ask her, since the list is her baby.

Also, providing you have an account at PPC Wiki, you can add the number to the list yourself. I think all you need is a username for that--they don't even demand an e-mail. It's quite simple, and you'll probably want an account to make agent pages and such eventually anyway. {= )

Of course, all that said, you might want to wait until you actually have a mission posted first. Aster and I have been encountering the effects of people making agents and never writing about them lately. It's slightly frustrating when trying to make the wiki a more external-reference-supported place.

~Neshomeh

Have some soap on a rope, when the time is right to use it you will know.

Don't feed it Sues or Stus.

Hi, have some fudge!

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!

And a happy birthday. I'm turning 25 this year myself, and I know pretty much exactly how you feel.

Surely we still count as early twenties yet? Rounding down, maybe...?

Noooo, don't have me! I'm stringy and taste horrible!

Have a Big Red Button. (Note: it's small, and blue.)

...tooooooo yooooooou!

Here, have some chocolate! I have extra from Valentine's Day.

*throws chocolate at your head*

Have a handful of rolky-mose hair! I'm sure the Sue won't ask it back.

And the cake is really tasteful! I love strawberry and chocolate together!

You thinking about going anywhere, or are you staying in your home during your birthday?

Either way, hope you enjoy it!

So what wisdom have you picked up in your 1/4th of a century, o wise one?

... whatever it is, it should tell you to party! For living that long, at least. >_>

But I got my Beretta and everything! I was hoping to finally get to use that stupid piece of junk, and now I can't AND I have to find a birthday present for Elcalion...

...

Let's start over. Happy Birthday, Elcalion! Here, have a Beretta! :D

I too will be facing something similar, well in 5 years, which isn't that long actually. Anyway, enjoy some chocolate, jam, and sprinkle cake!

Have a Random Object of Rassilon! I don't know what it is, but it's shiny.

Happy (Belated) Birthday!

*sets a tray of fudge out on the party table*

Phobos will be joining us in March, too.

It is kind of a mind-bending age, isn't it? The whole "quarter of a century" thing.

*shrug* Ah well. Who says you have to grow up, right? *g*

I give you a quarter. Because it is symbolic and stuff. Happy Birthday!

~Neshomeh

*Huggles and munches cake*

Here, have a roll of duct tape and a pair of beskar crushgaunts (Star Wars fandom). Very useful things.

Have a giant quarter! Like the one in the Batcave.

Here, have a triple chocolate cupcake! (Chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing and chocolate chips)

Have an F-22. Or, if you do not know how to fly it, a folding car. There was an accident of one unfolding in a RC, but nothing serious... I hope...

Fair winds!

Now you can throw a birthday BBQ!

Now I have a clearer picture of what a Division is.

My idea about the roles of the Fighter Wing (formally under the Floaters, but actually going to be used by a lot of Departments) was this:

- Shooting down Sues that fly/ride/drive nearly all the time in Ace Combat, Macross, or similar canons with heavy machinery involved (not Gundam, since only one aircraft in Ace Combat history is space-capable ad for a limited amount of time). Basically, a bigger stick to poke Sues that otherwise would slay Agents when they try to do the kill.
- Helping DOGA cleaning out uncanonical cities and landscapes too big for a single squad of Pyros but too small (e.g. less than the whole solar system) to warrant the use of a Sun Crusher.
- Following action in Ace Combat and similar canons when otherwise Words and extensive portalling would be tedious for the reader.

Why is it a punishment? I though it was more of "try to stay alive when attempting to shoot down Ace!Sues": the mission I am writing right now is about killing off an Ace!Stu!James Sirius Potter (Yes, Harry Potter's son) that flyies around in an F-22 even when still a trainee. My agents have a single F-14A (only aircraft currently own by the Fighter Wing. It's an AC5 one, so quite cheap and hopefully not a money and maintenance sink like the real one.). If Reality Ensues, they're kinda screwed. Not to mention a single error when taking off or landing would reduce Agents and plane to a fireball.

So, any idea on what formally should be the PPC Fighter Wing? Only a couple agents with planes? A Sub-Division? Something else entirely? Shouldn't be existing at all?

It seems to me that what you've got is in effect a canon division authorized to use special equipment due to the nature of the canon, so like Arbre said, that wouldn't warrant a division head. They'd still answer directly to the Floating Hyacinth (not to mention having DoSAT breathing down their necks about treating the equipment well).

Another thing, though: exactly how is being transferred to a division that allows the use of fighter jets a punishment? To me, it sounds too high on the badass scale to truly be a bad thing.

~Neshomeh

A while back there was a call to stop creating new divisions.

I believe this was in response to people seeming to create new divisions at the drop of a hat (not head, no matter what my fingers think). The point then was -- and I think it still stands now -- is it really, really necessary to create a new division?

And more of question to put my missions in line with everyone else's: do divisions really need their own head? My agents seem to do "fine" being bossed around by the head of the department. Or any flower with authority over agents.

There are two types of divisions - those based on different canons, and those created for specific jobs. For example, the Harry Potter Division of the DBS is one of the former, while the Division of Mpreg would be one of the latter. What's important to note is that while Mpreg has a Division Head, HP would not. Now, from what you're saying, the Fighter Wing sounds more specialized than canon, even if you mostly spork Ace Combat fics, and therefore having a flower just for them sounds fine to me.

Now, I personally don't see why you shouldn't use the Crocus. In a consensual reality like ours, it's generally better to reuse something rather than make something new up, and I don't see why this would be any different. However, newbie-shrimp that I am, my approval is not the Board's approval, and you should probably wait for one of the Oldbies to confirm or deny what I'm saying before you do anything.

Hope this helps a bit. Ciao.

I don't see it being a problem, but I doubt I'm allowed to give permission for this type of thing. A suggestion I might make is that you make the division more inclusive, possibly turn it into a division for fics that would require agents to use vehicles? Though you don't have too, we did have a Legend of Zelda division at some point.

I do like your idea though, hopefully it comes through.

What happens when you spell an OC's name wrong? Because I see a "Kuril" (parody marty stu) in this paragraph:


"Don't even think about it, leech boy," Jennifer piped up. Kuril gave her a stare that was probably supposed to be 'watch your mouth, mortal, or I'll bite', but failed dramatically because of his melted chocolate eyes. Ah, the prices one paid for bad description.


Before that was a Kiril:


"Damn, so that means I can't use it?" Kiril Loris, the vampire student with dripping chocolate eyes, asked disappointedly.


I'm sorry if I'm saying it here, because I already commented on all the chapters so far.

Ooh! I love me some Hetalia (though the dub doesn't really bother me for some reason).

If I get around to getting my agents together, you can bet they'll get involved!

This looks interesting, Lily. I've submitted my character to you.

Yeah, I know about the sues on DA. Sure, Hetalia isn't the most accurate series based off history, but at least the author did his history homework. Some of the creators of those sues don't seem to care, however.

(All I've heard about crises on the PPC is that there was a backlash against them at one point, so correct me if I'm wrong. But I wouldn't mind if they pop up again in the future.)

...but I can haz putted it on alert anyway. :D

P.S. I'm Calyn on the Pit.

Is that you absolutely must have a troll who goes on and on about Humon's Scandinavia and the World being better and bugging the crud out of everybody. Possibly even a small faction of allied SatW readers. Because revenge is sweet. *eg*

~Neshomeh, who has never seen Hetalia, although she might have to look into it someday.

Is it me but does most of the plot and characterisation of this fic have nothing to do with Poke'mon. Author should probably give original fiction a go, to see if they do better working within a universe of their own making.

I enjoyed the writing of the mission, particularly the random Poke-transformations. And now I must check if Blaziken has thumbs... Gardevoir would be my first choice for humanshape, or Gallade for the boys.

Anyway, I genuinely enjoyed that fic, and humbly request to see more of Asher ('cause Arceus is awesome) and Samuel (since I'm not entirely sure what a ypur is...)

Ugh, why do people do this to Pokemon? It boggles my mind.

But coincidentally, is this the fish hat July was wearing?

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter08/PATTfishy.php

Because I knit one, too. >>

<img src="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/cb20101221144033/ppc/images/b/ba/Ecb056db05f51259713539000.jpg" alt="http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101221144033/ppc/images/b/ba/Ecb056db05f5_1259713539000.jpg">

Probably not, but just for the sake of curiosity.

I found the part where the agents turn into random pokemon funny.

Fun, I thought that Lugia was the only confirmed non-unique legendary. Perhaps the other legendary birds by extension but I'm not the biggest follower of Pokemon.

I don't think you have to request for those. I just made up a RC number when I wrote my first mission. Just make sure nobody else has that RC number.

Here's a list of RC numbers on the wiki. I don't know how complete, but I expect decently so.
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_RCs

Welcome! Have some chocolate, won't you?

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!

Have a pet cat, a Ridiculous Hat and a little spat.

Here you have two thumbs up. Yes, just the thumbs

Since you've been hanging around so long, I figure you already know the usual stuff we tell new people to look at and whatnot, so I think we can skip that.

Here, have a bumper sticker! *sticks you with a sticker that reads "Love me, love my mini."*

~Neshomeh

Don't feed it Sues or Stus.

Have some fudge!

Hello EvilPin. I trust you are not here to poke us, as most evil pins are wont to do?

Welcome, new friend! Have a Good Thumbtack.

Welcome to the PPC. Hope that you have a good time over here!

Now is that a sine wave, or...

(Pardon, I know the joke's overdone, but sometimes I can't help myself.)

Nice to meet you, EvilPin. As long as you're not related to the pins that stab me every time I start a sewing project, I think we'll get along fine. :)

I'd encourage you to stick around, if time/etc. permit, instead of going back to lurking. I lurked, once. ...well, all right, I still do to an extent, but am re-learning not to, because this community really is, on the whole, a lovely one. And only some people bite.

(I should probably be giving the Links but I don't remember which ones are the most important, so I'll leave it to someone else who actually knows what they're about.)

Anyway! My gift to you: brain-sized, flame-retardant leash-and-harness set. For those times when you really don't want your mind to wander.

Hope you enjoy your time here.

It lacks the sense of humor I've come to associate with other MSTs. You had a couple jokes here and there, but most of what I observed were either direct observations (spelling corrections, for example) or just railing against the author.

Still, I guess it's a bit understandable since you're still only in the author's notes. I'll wait and reserve judgement until you get into the body of the text itself.

It's an omnitool, kinda like a holographic iPad you wear on your wrist. Really handy.

Welcome to the Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!

Hi! Have some fudge!

Your tall ship and BBQ equipment are right here! Fair winds and happy parties!

Don't feed it Sueish Honey.

Have a pet cat, a yellow rat and a maroon hat.

Welcome, new friend! Help yourself to a venomous arthropod from the sack. Don't worry, they don't bite!

I didn't welcome you back there, so now I do! Enjoy your stay, tell me how to say your name and have this wonderful Cucumber Eau de Toilette. You don't want to know what it's made from.

I think I already gave you a bumper sticker below, so that's about it.

Oh, except this: First poke! *pokes*

~Neshomeh

If you do decide that you want to write for the PPPC, have you thought about what series' badfic that you're targeting?

I adored Tintin when I was younger. It's been years, but maybe I should dig those old books out again, in preparation, since I know someone's going to write horrible, horrible action/adventure fic. Of course, in that case the canon has so many bad action tropes that it would be hard to say what fan authors can get away with.

I can only hope that the movie is good, and that my childhood does not get stamped into the dust too badly by badfic.

My first comic books were some old copies of Tintin stories... What was I, 7...?

Hello! In honor of your having brought us a gift with your re-introduction, I will expand upon my normal gift selection.

Here is a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies. Also, a small purse of 1890's era British coins, a badfic copy of A Study In Scarlet, and a Zat'nik'tel.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

I've never seen Farscape, but I loved your agents. I had never gotten to your spin-off before, but it is definitely next up now.

It's dangerous to go alone, take this!
*gives a sword*

Wow, it's been a while! Hope all has been going well with you, and good to see you back around the Board.

I shall have to read the mission later, but for now I need to go to bed, since I have to pack in the morning cause I'm moving interstate.

Elcalion, joyous

Don't feed it Sues or Stus.

It's fun seeing the agents have to improvise in the absence of their usual equipment. It's just a shame the fic is so awful in so many ways...

Good to see you. ^_^

And you brought ... um ... you brought Farscape badfic. I have mixed feelings about that. After that fic Artemis and I were going to spork (until it got lost), I had hoped that that was the worst of it. It's always Scorpius, though, isn't it? That can't be a coincidence.

At least it comes good and sporked, though. That's something! I shall get back to you when I've read it.

In the meantime, though, I have a question. Was your team one of the ones that was supposed to be on the mission to "Subjugation"? 'Cause Tungsten and I are plotting revenge on that monster. Three and a half agent pairs never came back after being assigned to it. o.o

~Neshomeh

Hi Rez! Have some fudge!

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!

Ah Spyro, it has been too long since I played you. Loved the mission :)

Best part:

Lore rolled his eyes. “I think you’re overdoing it now.”

“Good!” Aster said, cracking her knuckles. “Because I have an mad, spiteful plan. And those are my best plans.”

“Wonderful!” Lore said, and then slapped her over the back of the head. “Now be quiet and listen to my idea instead.”

For that, I forgive you for the fairly drag-y story summary that preceded it.

Basically it was an enjoyable mission, that bit aside. I'm not familiar with the new Spyro stuff--I only played the first three games, and I think I only finished the first two--but still, it's dragons, and I don't take kindly to messing with dragons.

Incidentally, do you have plans for that egg?

~Neshomeh

I like what you did with Amanda and Dax...will they be showing up in later stories?

Nice mission.

I'm a fan of the original Spyro series. However, I've never really formed an opinion of the Legend series, though. Either way, even I can tell that the badfic defiled Legend's canon.

Four Mexican dogs fighting a demon lord of the dead. That sounds...unique, to say the least.

...And I know nothing about Spyro the Dragon and barely anything about Assassin's Creed. Aster and Lore amuse me.
Where is says ..."For which, PPC agents sentence you to explode as your daughter would have. Because her welfare seems only a dubious possibility in your mind, I think you may emphasize with her more after this.”... I think it should be empathize.

That was an...interesting...story concept. Not good, or logical, but interesting. I like the scene where the anthro-hell-hounds were de-glittered and recruited.

I'll say what I said in the chatroom. I like that, especially in a fic with so many awful sues and stus and such, you were able to pick out some characters that could actually be good in the hands of smarter writers. It's that little bit of constructiveness that makes this a real treat for me.

Of course, everything else seemed good too.

I...can't really think of anything more to say.

What do you mean by scientist? What sorts of things will your characters be doing in-continuity? Are we talking DMSE&R, Intelligence...? I don't really understand what you're going for.

If you're interested in writing critical analyses of badfics, rather than missions, I don't know that that would even require Permission. Like MSTs, they wouldn't affect PPC continuity.

~Neshomeh

The post was posted prematurely. Since I am insecure, I would like to continue down here.

My first agent would be Songbird. She is an artist avatar that has existed for eleven years in various still pictures posted on various sites. Only recently has she been removed from her constantly-smiling ID picture to participate in the PPC. She is a small human, three feet high at the most, with a pair of little bird wings on her back. These wings buzz like those of a fly, can can only lift her a few inches off the ground. She cannot fight due to being extremely frail. She does, however, greatly enjoy analysis and research of various fandoms and stories.

Her partner is Agent William, a semi-canon (customizable lead) from the Dragon Quest IX continuum. He is a human who, while his age is unknown, acts and looks like a boy around ten years of age. He can use a sword, but he consideres himself a "defender," only fighting if someone is in danger. Even then, he is of the Minstrel class, meaning that his style of combat focuses on support and amusement more than physical abilities.

Have a Quasi-Dimensional Scarf. I knit it myself out of theoretical string and hair from Schrodinger's cat. However, whether you got those (fairly awful) puns or not, consider yourself one of us, mate. Ciao!

Have a calculator that makes up stories to go with your math problems! What country are you from? I guess we could call it a math-science magnet school or something, but I don't know...

What the heck...?

Did my computer malfunction? I don't remember posting twice...

Oh well, extra NM&NMs, I guess.

Fair winds!

Now you can throw BBQ parties!

Here's a grappling hook! Should make climbing easier for you. ^_^

Have a pet cat, a tinfoil hat and a frog which is fat.

Hi! Have some fudge!

Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Here, have some chocolate, and please enjoy your stay!

Big thanks for all the gifts... some more, some less useful. Now I'll have things to use to decorate my Relaxation Center. What can I change with that costume... hmm...

Well, once I'm done with the decorating, I could call some people around to RP... that one-side die will be quite useful for random encounters... Muwhahaha!

Um, as you've probably noticed, I tend to overuse '...' a bit...

So, now that I'm introduced, I can just jump in into conversations, right? Right? *puppy eyes*

Don't feed her Sues or Stus.

Obligatory joke aside... Welcome to the Board. Grab a chair (note to self: look into existence of chairs on the Board) and stay a while.

For a gift, I give you a set of random-number generators. There is a one-sided die, a three-sided die, a five-sided, and a 42-sided. Have fun with them.

-Phobos

I hate them! Anyway, it's just a personal opinion ;)
Here you have a Yellow Shapeshifter Costume; it changes shape but not color, so you don't have many options. Pacman or pikachu go well.

Glad to hear that you like reading some of the PPC stories! Just keep your guard up, because you might never know what will happen in the PPC's future and how dangerous a sue/stu can possibly get.

Welcome! Have a sparkly rock.

Welcome, new friend! Have a cowboy action figure.

Have a hat knit from only the softest spun pelts of Cute Animal Friends! It is sure to keep you warm in the coldest, most soul-less depths of badfic!

For the love of Pete, it's O'Neill with two l's. I wouldn't mind adopting the one l'd O'Neil however.

Hehe..."Shepard."

I could have stood a little more dwelling on the "unexpected turn," and/or a little more mission afterward, but I enjoyed it. ^_^

~Neshomeh

forgot to add though, that the link to the badfic is a bit messed up. There's two urls in one link. The url to livejournal shouldn't have been in it.

According to Wikipedia, at least.

The link I'm posting below leads to the complete oeuvre of one Hans von Hozel. He claims he's writing these fics to "make an improve of my English." Some of his best works (read: the fics that I actually read) are:

Knuckles and Sonic save the Beach: Where Knuckles and Sonic do absolutely nothing of the sort, and Tails is mistaken for a girl (I think. The wording is rather vague on that regard.)

The Raven: Wherein some hunters attempt to kill the titular character of the Edgar Allen Poe poem of the same name for its "nice fur coat!"

HalfLife: The Combine arrive and smash Gordon's "Science." Then Gordon kills them.

Warhammer: Unique among all other Warhammer fics, in that Hans admits that he knows absolutely nothing about the universe, and instead writes a story about generic aliens and a sentient warhammer.

The Room: An alternative ending to the movie of the same name, where Earth and Mars are nuked into oblivion. (And yet I still can't help but think that this would have made perfect sense had it actually been the ending for The Room.)

There are many more fanfics to be found in the link below. (248, to be specific, all of them short, one chapter affairs.) In general, if you name a fandom, chances are good Hans has written a fic about it.

http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1730364/Hans_von_Hozel

...to add to the badfic thread with fics that aren't LotR?

1) The Library of Moria is always in need of smiting.

2) I do not believe the poor Balrogs can be compared to this stuff... I somehow sense the stuff belongs somewhere beneath an abyss...

Does Call of Duty diverge significantly from Real Life?

To officially be classified as 'criminal menace' (the legalese term for stalking) the person in question must harass or follow the person or people in question three or more times with malicious intent before they can be charged. Socially, of course, things are generally less lenient; just a single occasion, even without malice, even without intent, can cause someone to be labeled a stalker. But all this, of course, is provided it's in person. On the Internet, of course, there's nothing to stop it from going on indefinately.

However, I get the sense that that has absolutely nothing to do with what you're asking, and that I'm just taking the opportunity to use Wikipedia to be pretentious. I do that sometimes (read; too much). You're asking because you've posted exactly two things on here, your introduction and a call for help when the BBC Sherlock Holmes forum attacked you for suggesting...cooperation with the PPC? Something like that. Anyway, putting my not-inconsiderable research skills aside for the moment (alas), I shall spake my response thusly:

I also lurked for quite some time before I worked up the courage to introduce myself (three years, actually) and I think I understand your plight. You seem to feel that you have nothing to contribute to our dear organization, and have therefore not contributed any of what you in fact could. This viewpoint is weighing you down. You have put these shackles on, and so you can take them off yourself. When you're ready, I have no doubt that you will. However, I'm in no position to make judgements on this, and in any case, I may be full of **** with my whole theory.

The point is, I think, that you should follow your bliss, my friend. I wish you well where'ere the winds of fate shall blow you. Ciao, my dear.

board related, fic related or real life related?

My dictionary says a lurker does not participate and a stalker showers someone with obsessive and unwanted attention. A lurker to the extreme can thus not be classified as stalker, because that would mean the lurker had started taking action. Which is quite the opposite of what the lurker had been doing.

Most enjoyable. I also noted we share some of the same interests so I friended you on LJ. Hope you don't mind. :D

Great mission. And as a returning Newbie you've now got me reading through the older adventures of Flip and Rez. Looking forward to more.

I'm please that that Sue has met her end. Was there any chance that fic was written before we learned Scorpius' backstory? That's the only thing that could possibly even begin to excuse the character-mangling. ARGH. {X P

I am slightly concerned by the fact that he is still aware of us. I mean, what the agents could do without a neuralyzer, I don't know, but it's sure a good thing he's not a let's-take-over-the-multiverse type villain. o.o;

The picture is awesome. ^_^ Any plans to add color?
