it's Baroque, I'm talking about a game published by Atlus, it's confusing but is still interesting. the problem is, the story is scattered all around the game, litteraly, you might see the end befre the climax of the story and this basically block almost any way of writting something to this game.

there's also the manga Zekkiou Gakkiuu, which is basically a manga that tell some creepy stories at each chapter.

Phantasy Star Online and Universe don't seem to have very many fanfics about them at all. Same with Terraria.

Let's see: A.J. Raffles, Master Cracksman is one,
Parasol Protectorate, The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (for which I will probably eventually write fanfiction because Morwen,) Chrestomanci Chronicles... okay, just the entire works of Diana Wynne Jones, really. And Patricia Mc. Killip, especially the Sunshine universe and The Hero and the Crown universe.

I'm re-watching code Lyoko, but don't know if there's a huge fandom for it... I'm kind of scared to find out, actually.

I've written fanfiction for the works of Edgar Allen Poe too. :D

I'm gonna throw one out here. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, a book by Jesse Andrews about a couple of high school students who double as amateur filmmakers. One's mother forces him to make friends with a girl who has leukemia. Hilarity (and more foul language than you can shake a stick at) ensues. Oddly, I don't think I've ever found any fanfiction for it, but it's definitely one of my favorite books and I really wish it were more popular.

What is FTL, you ask?

FTL: Faster Than Light is a roguelike game in which you are the commander of a warship carrying secret data essential to the survival of the Federation, which has been beaten back by a fanatical humans-before-aliens Rebellion. The goal of the game is to cross eight space sectors (maps composed of randomly generated waypoints with one exit beacon to the next sector) to reach the last Federation armada and to deliver the data. You don't have time to explore the universe freely however: the Rebel fleet is in hot pursuit and is much too powerful for you to fight.

Aside from that, there's no actual plot to the game. Sure, there are quite a few nuggets of lore to be found when you land on certain beacons, but the main attraction is the story you create as you gain or lose crew, fight enemy ships, upgrade your ship, find new weapons, help civilians, perform daring boarding maneuvers, fight demonic giant spiders, elude the Rebels, discover strange new worlds, and turn hopeless situations around with your peerless tactical cunning:

Plus, its title theme music is pure awesome.

None. Now, books or TV shows or such that nobody knows about that I enjoy, those I have plenty of. To me, a fandom refers to a community of fans, and to be honest, except for MLP, Dr. Who, and the occasional dabble into Sherlock, Portal, or Elder Scrolls, I don't interact with any fandoms. Oh well.

One book that I'm really into right now is Feed, by M. T. Anderson. Be warned, this book has a lot of swearing. It has a point for existing, but if you don't like that

I would explain what it is about, but part of the thrill of the book is when it hits you what is going on, and to spoil it would rob you of a fantastic experience. Give it a few chapters before judging it though, trust me on this one. You may be confused but, really, just read it. If you can, get the audio book, it's even better through this medium. Really. It's good as a book, but brilliant as an audio book. But however you will, just read/listen to it. it's great. Should be mandatory reading for high school students.

I tend to get into the more obscure/underrated/less publicized iterations of popular fandoms.

The Wizard of Oz. L. Frank Baum wrote 14 books, and the fact that so few people know that has been a source of great pain to me ever since I read them all as a little kid. If anyone wants me to give you reasons to read them, ask. I'll gush.

Star Trek. I like TNG, DS9, and Voyager better than TOS or reboot, and I'm slowly coming to the realization that I think DS9 is the best series. TNG has a special place in my heart, so it's still my favorite, but DS9 is so well-written and complex. And it's probably the most underrated of the Star Trek series besides Enterprise. Again, if anyone wants me to gush, ask.

I prefer the Heroes of Olympus series to Percy Jackson, because while I absolutely love and adore Percy Jackson and please don't ever get the impression I don't, the second series has a lot more characters with a lot more development because instead one first person narrator most of the main characters have some third person limited narration. Plus, more representation and an queer character in a children's book series.

I've also watched a bit of Classic Who (First and Second Doctor) but none of New Who.

An actual obscure fandom, though...Magic School Bus. Yep.

There was a show I used to love when I was a kid... but there's only one problem. I remember almost nothing about it- title, characters' names, the channel- but I remember it was awesome. It was about these dragon racers, and the dragons were wingless, and the main character and his dragon were kind of like vigilante superheroes. There was an armband or something that the guy activated to give the duo their powers.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, that would be so amazing; I've been unable to find it for a long time. But yeah, that's my rare fandom.

...between fandoms that are simply small, and fandoms that seem to be held together by those who utterly disregard the canon.

Assuming I'm meant to write about the former, it's Arcanum for me.
Personal favourite points, in short: Steampunk-fantasy hybrid (aesthetics to match), magic and tech don't get along (gameplay- and plot-relevant), dev team thinks of everything, story has twists, side-dungeons have little clues that you can discover.
Remarkably open.

This is very much my jam.

Skulduggery Pleasant
It's a pretty simple chosen girl narrative of the kind we here at the PPC often end up writing missions about. However, it's done with its tongue shoved firmly in its cheek: the stupid names are there because if someone has your given name, they have power over you; the magical powers are well thought-out and well developed (for instance, an Elementalist can create a fireball with a snap o' the fingers because it generates friction and heat, which blossoms into flame); the teenage female lead does not always need the good guy to rescue her; and the good guy is pale and thin and interesting on account of being a skeleton. It's planned to be a nine-book series, it's really bloody funny, check it out.

Hyperdrive
Often seen as a direct successor of the more famous Red Dwarf by people given to spectacularly missing the point, Hyperdrive does share some traits with that series but is very much its own thing. For one thing, it makes space travel seem normal and almost banal in places. For another, it relentlessly mocks that era of sci-fi where the sets were cheaper than Nollywood films made by people I will charitably describe as mental (Baby Police, anyone?). However, the real strength of the show lies in the central trio of Nick Frost, Kevin Eldon, and an early TV showing for Miranda Hart as the bridge crew of the HMS Camden Lock. Highlights include a glorious spoof of Kirk and Spock playing chess together... involving Ker-Plunk.

The Thick Of It
In the States, the archetypal political drama is The West Wing, which featured important, noble, upstanding people doing important, noble, upstanding things to bring a bright new future to the good ol' US of A. In the UK, it's a toss-up between House Of Cards (the original, not the Kevin Spacey one), State Of Play, and The Thick Of It, which is my personal favourite of the lot. Shot like a fly-on-the-wall documentary, it features incompetent, dishonest ministers in a dead-end job bickering with each other and doing nothing of worth. This probably says a lot about both our respective nations. The director, Armando Iannucci, has also made In The Loop and Veep on similar premises, so feel free to check them out if the idea of fascinatingly baroque swearing coming from the mouth of the 12th Doctor puts you off.

The Binding Of Isaac
I've talked about this game before - in fact, it was one of the first things I ever talked about on the Board - but The Binding of Isaac is one of the most fascinating games I've played from a story standpoint. Its use of mechanics as metaphor is deep and incredibly rich, and the central story is told entirely through the game with only minimal cutscenes bookending the experience. If you like hard-as-nails top-down rogue-lites with story chops and a very interesting take on childhood, check it out. Actually, check out the remake that comes out this year. It'll probably have more stuff to analyse to death in it.

---

There's lots more I could talk about, but you're probably sick of this already. I'll take my leave. =]

It was a UK children's TV show that got cancelled about two decades ago. It involved a team of four - one 'dungeoneer' and the other three guiding him/her through a dungeon drawn with a mixture of hand drawing and early CG. It was almost like a sort of Dungeons and Dragons setting, except it was based around puzzles, skill, answering questions correctly etc.

In addition, due to the method of producing the rooms, the dungeoneer wore a helmet that allowed him/her to only see around their feet, meaning the rest of the team had to give them navigation instructions (potentially avoiding traps and pits, requiring timing etc.).

It was also known for being very hard, with only a handful of the many teams actually passing through the three levels of the dungeon and completing their quests. One might say is was analogous in difficulty to other children's gameshows as Dark Souls is to other modern computer games.

I managed to sneak my agents a visit to the Knightmare continuum during the HQ Blackout (http://cyba-zero.livejournal.com/3065.html, http://cyba-zero.livejournal.com/3204.html), and Knightmare still has a fan site (http://www.knightmare.com/). At the time of the Blackout visit, I think only two or three PPCers recognised it, so I'd say it counts as a rare fandom.

So much as he is a major figure of pre-Christian worship throughout Europe that got picked up on by New Age-ism and the Wicca revival in the '70s. He's a sort of benevolent earth-spirit thing, kinda like if Captain Planet was mixed with a slightly nicer Odin. He also has a counterpart called Jack-in-the-Green, who's got more than a few similarities to Loki's traditional role as a trickster and general baddie.

But you wanted to talk about the plant. Well, bearing in mind that the word limb is used and it speaks out loud, I'm more inclined to think it's one of the more benevolent Firstborn, possibly one that revolves around sapient pearwood considering the Discworld connection. We know that Flowers don't necessarily have to be World One flowers - the Bonsai Mallorn's proof of that - and the more comic edge to the dialogue would support it further, given how funny Discworld is.

Then again, it could've just been something that slipped through the editing process (the word englassesed, and I use the term "word" quite wrongly, is used in the Original Series at one point, though it escapes me as to where) and we're massively overthinking it. Meh. Overthinking trivial details is sort of what we do. =]

Hurry for continued survival! Have some cake and a mini-mecha! And I do mean mini- this is a mecha that fits in a backpack. I haven't yet figured out how the pilots get in, I must admit.

Here have a... *pats pockets* ...uh, just a sec.

Ah here it is. Have a Valyrian Steel Longsword!

The Emperor Protects!

In commemoration of your special day, have a Delibird! Standard warnings apply.

Hope you're having better weather, or that Chicago buses have better heaters than Omaha buses (as of the last time I rode one).

Congratulations on continuing to dig your fingernails into a spinning, dying rock hurtling through space.

Have a balloon macaque! =oD

Happy Birthday! Here, have a golden potato.
By any chance, are you going to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago? I loved that museum.
*tosses shiny confetti and hands out party hats*

*showers Phobos with packing peanuts*

Have a lovely year!

Happy Birthday, have a good one.
Have a blow-up Daffodil, I'm sure I've got one spare after last week.

Storme Hawk

*showers you with presents* I made a crayon drawing of a kitty cat.

Hope you like it!

As usual, here are some variations:

A bolt of virtual spidersilk, in case you are in a shootout or fashion emergency.

Have some Schrodinger's Cookies (may or may not contain chocolate) and a sparklewood stake - perfect for those Sue vampires.

It's a little late, but here have a silver goblet that fills up with your favorite drink.
How was Universal Studios? I love that place.
Happy Belated Birthday!

I used all of my packing peanuts on Phobos, so, instead, *showers Mikelus with dry spaghetti*

Have a lovely year!

Here have an Nova-class starship, express from the Federation!

The Emperor Protects!

In honor of your turning 20, here, have a Delibird! It loves giving away presents--just beware that said presents have an 80% chance of exploding.

Hope you had fun at Universal Studios.

There's you, and Phobos, and World-Jumper in this month alone. Ye gods, that's odd.

Anyway, happy birthday! Have some pie! And some... muahaha... cupcakes. They have rainbow frosting.

Hey look! it's a really bad cake! And it has candles!

Congratulations! (On both counts). /hands birthday hat/ /hands candy and bleeproducts/ /hands gifts/ /sets off confetti and fireworks/ PARTY TIME!

Congrats :) And welcome to the second decade club. (Of course we have one. What do you mean, we haven't been meeting lately? Our meetings are just so secret that no one remembers anything but the pizza.)

~DF

I'd heard about this, though! I don't really have much money to donate but I'll be checking out what I can, and I've been seeing if I can help out at all. Couple years back I actually talked to her event manager about setting up some concerts in the area; it fell through but I might have to see what I can do next time she's around the Northeast US. It's awesome to see Celtic Avalon getting a signal boost, all the same; I guess to get to the point I'm seconding your "people should support this". :P

Have a fluffy velociraptor!

Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool-knit scarf (curly wig not included) and a bag of jelly babies. Please use IRresponsibly.

Hi, have some fudge!

Are you a NewWho fan, Classic Who, or both?

Have a supermagnet, and a lasagne! And a purple pen!

Also, Sherlock.

You have a lovely list of fandoms.

As a Newbie Gift, I give you a gift of a lifetime supply of either Bleeprin or Bleepolate.

How are you doing? I hope you enjoy your stay on the board, no matter how long that is.

Oh, hey, another brony! Awesome! /)

Have you been watching season four? What do you think of it so far? I love it so far, with some of my favorite episodes of the entire seres being in here. So what if it made Printworthy (my agent who is, erm, was, the author of Daring Do) uncanon, so what if near every episode makes fanfics burn, I love it.


Now, for a gift. Since you are a brony, I give you a crystal statue of your favorite character from MLP. These statues are special though, as they are enchanted with a part of the character's personality. For example, Fluttershy makes you feel nicer and a greater urge to show kindness, Rarity inspires creativity and a wish to give onto others, ext. Yes, background and antagonist pony statues are available. Just let me know which one you want, and I'll detail it's ability. Just be warned, the statue may or may not attract evil shadow pony kings.

Another Pokemon fan? Yay!

*rummages in Trainer Bag*
*pulls out 18 Pokeballs*
Have your choice of Starter Pokemon!

There are some things you may have to learn too. Whenever you have to post new things or comment, you have log-in, again and again. If not, it will be Anonymous, and we can't know if you're the one actually talkig about it.

It is preferable to 'hijack' a thread to report badfics. You may ask a question on a new thread. If the question has past behind the main page, try hijacking another, well-filled thread instead.

To welcome you, I present to you a can of virtual beef soup on a pillow. Certified 50% to contain meat of possibly bovine origin.

Please enjoy is bazooka. It's amazing in pillow fight

Hello and welcome!

I give to you a lined Infinite Notebook, complete with urple covers and wilver binding.

Enjoy!

-Aila

Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies, so come on in, take your shoes off, and leave your sanity at the door!

As a welcome gift, I now give you some music by Pierre Boulez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF-F6-VFCWM

I'm a big Pokemon, MLP, and Doctor Who fan, too! Not that I wouldn't welcome you if I wasn't. ;) Brohoof! /)

Okay, gifts... gifts... um...

*rummages in closet*

Here ya go! It's a very warm and fuzzy TARDIS blanket! *drapes it around your shoulders* Welcome to the Board!

... no, wait, that's wrong. I meant to say: hi! Welcome a'Board! Hope you have fun.

Admins can change userpage names, but not the user's name, apparently. Testing on my own page, it says (in bold red font):
"Warning: You are about to rename a user page. Please note that only the page title will be changed, and the user will not be renamed."

Which sounds like not very helpful towards what you were wanting. I'll still do it if you like, so it will at least display what you want in one place. Same for you, too, sonofheaven, if you want.

For the second, the amount of time the treatments wood take and the effectiveness they have would depend on the individual Sue. Their original level of power and personality would have a lot to do with how well and how quickly they rehabilitate, and some just don't do as well working in the new setting as others. Some might not like having to be part of a team instead of taking the glory for themselves, some might be too tempted to use their powers during a mission, which would formerly have attracted the attention of the DIS or DIO but in the modern setting would still be dangerous and addictive, etcetera etcetera.
To give a few examples of reformed Sues from PPC history, Priyala was more or less just a human with unexplained telepathic powers in her home fic, so she contains her Sueishness easily, which is aided by the fact that she feels resentful for the damages that she did to her home canon in her original badfic and doesn't want to repeat those problems in her new environment. Meneltari, on the other hand, had both a larger amount of base power as the uncanonical and immortal daughter of Eru Ilúvatar himself, and had a much less mindful attitude toward keeping herself in check. Her last confirmed actions in the PPC involved accidentally causing most of HQ to lust after her and getting thrown into the Void as a consequence.

You'll want to aim somewhere between those, closer to the Priyala side than not, but the situation is very dependent on the character's personal disposition and background. Do you have any details decided on yet?

To help with Suvian recovery, there's a Sue Support Group that's intended to keep Sues from misusing their powers, as well as providing them with therapy and moral support. There's also a medication called Logicillin that, while initially created to ward off Suvian encroachment on Agents from infections like Suemonia and Vambiolaria, also helps Agents who started out as Sues keep their Suvian tendencies in check. I'm pretty sure the former would be made mandatory by Personnel for at least a short amount of time, and the latter probably wouldn't hurt, especially during the period during which the ex-Sue recruit is still adjusting.

Also, a question tangential to your name change: do you know about Bionicle? There was a species from there called the Skakdi, and Iximaz is a very Skakdi-esque name. It's got the hard consonants and long "a"s that they like. I'm not saying it sounds bad, before you take this the wrong way, it's just that the new name reminded me of them and it would be nice to see a fellow Bionicle fan here.

Unfortunately, you cannot change your username on the wiki. (Believe me, I've tried). However, you can change your signature, which is the "name" that shows up when you use four tildes at the end of a post. Go to "Preferences," then under "Signature," change the signature to what you want it to be. That way, on your profile, it will say [Username] aka [signature]. It's not ideal, but it's a start.

As for who long it takes a 'Sue to be reformed...you'll have to ask someone who's been here a lot longer than I am.

BTW: What's the story behind "Iximaz"?

Try joining the Yahoo group "Girl Who Lived." They have pretty much all of Halcyon's stuff.

This project sounds awesome and I really want to read it.

Can't tell you where to find it as I don't know myself. All I can offer is my condolences and support.

I think it can be downloaded here:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/60611870/Rose-Potter-and-the-Philosopher-s-Stone-by-Keiran-Halcyon

I can't tell whether it's a free download, however. It wants an account made to get it, and I'm not signing up my email to another something just to download a badfic.

Good luck and good skill! Hopefully, you can find it somewhere.

1) I had just assumed (I know, I know ...) that a strangely-named place in the Indiana Jones mission I'm working on was an invented location that I could turn over to DOGA. But I happened to Google the citation, and I'm now thinking it's a really bad misspelling of an actual location.

I know that misspelled fictional locations can spawn location minis, but would a misspelled real place do the same?

2) Don't we have a Mini Adoption Center in HQ? I could have sworn we did, but I'm apparently using the wrong search terms on the wiki.

Those links to the old stuff makes me immensely happy! No reference to me because I was, quite possibly, way too timid to share my personal information. Also, looking at the wiki, I just discovered my long lost adopted mini Mr. Beggins!


What? Me? No, I’m not an oldbie who has been lurking around the board the past few days. Pffft! No way! I’m... aww, shucks! I think I just blew my cover. *runs and hides*

I had most of this post written before, and then the Internet locked up and I couldn't make another one for hours because of classes. Bah. Now it's shorter. Then again, knowing me, it may have been better for whoever is reading this, since they do not need to confront one of my legendary walls of text.

Okay, to the point. Mini-Rayquazas are the most well-known incarnation of the Pokémon mini that we have. According to the Board search bar, the only mentions of mini-Missingnos or mini-Deoxys within recorded Board history were as alternatives to the mini-Rayquaza, which has been treated as the default Pokémon mini by several badfic analyses and miscellaneous statements. Plus, the mini-Rayquaza has been mentioned in other published missions before(I know there are more times people have talked about them, but Google is acting up today and would only give me this one, while the mini-Deoxys and mini-Missingno have not been seen outside of their native OFU. Neither of the others has that kind of ground. Removing the mini-Rayquazas entirely at this point or retconning them as being the guise of some other shapeshifting mini species would produce more problems than it solves. I say we keep mini-Rayquaza as the form of the Pokémon mini when it appears in a badfic, and have the OFU minis categorized as altered versions.

Tied into that, the wiki's explanation is based in part on something that was decided on a while ago to provide an in-universe explanation for OFAS's mini change, and was later applied to several other continua with multiple mini species. Certain minis might be unsuitable for OFU protection, and if a force exists in the continuum capable of altering the forms of living beings, such as Q in Star Trek or Arceus in Pokémon, they could be adapted to a form better suited for their new job. True, mini-Rayquazas would still do a better job guarding the canon characters than mini-Tribbles would, so a change isn't as necessary from an in-universe standpoint, but the ability to fly at incredible speed and shoot tiny little energy bolts from one's mini-mouth pales in comparison to the glitch powers that the mini-Missigno could have, especially when working in tandem. They might be able to transport people across vast distances and appear in any location with a hiss of static, to guard the staff section from the attacks of fangirls, their wide move pool would make them more unpredictable, etcetera etcetera. The Pokémon OFUs were shown to have the blessings of the Sinnoh legendaries, since the Warrior OFU mentioned that Dialga would be responsible for keeping up temporal consistency, so it's not out of the question that Arceus would be up to transforming the minis into a form that the Coordinator thinks would be best for the job at hand. Arceus is capable of creating and reshaping all Pokémon life, after all.

Does anyone have any idea what the mini-Balrog "Elftone" could possibly be a misspelling of? It's the one name I couldn't figure out from browsing the Tolkien wikis. (It's on both Miss Cam's original list and the email directory, adopted by author!Rosie C. B. so it's definitely a legitimate mini.)

Missingno, being a glitch, has been known to look like other Pokemon. Specifically, I recall my Missingno looking like a Kangaskhan. If that is possible, would it not also be possible to appear as Deoxys and Rayquaza?

So, that is my theory. The mini has always been mini-Missingno, but has appeared to be other Pokemon at various points.

Thoughts?

-Phobos

Just because Missingno is awesome and technically doesn't exist- just like the misspellings. They don't exist, either.

Well, they do and don't. You know what I mean (I hope).

Also, excellent find with the websites! I haven't seen a lot of these... Pardon me. I have some reading to do...

For Agent Jay I'd suggest something by either Rammstein or Megaherz.

For some reason, I really want to have someone going about their PPC agent business "Red Like Roses Part 2" (from ^RWBY^, anyone know that series?) plays in the background.

I'm Blue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BinWA0EenDY

Corolla: A silly Vocaloid song, I guess? Never found a song tha exacly fits her

Nikki: God Knows from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiEDIrFj3Cs)

Sergio: Hmmm... tricky question. Kalafina's Manten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWKa5c_AlV0) or Aozora No Namida (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DtBVRdVbMs)? His life is divided nealty in "phases" so there's basically a sogn for each.

Christianne's has been "Love, Save The Empty" by Erin McCarley since I figured out her backstory.

Eledhwen's is "Stray Italian Greyhound" by Vienna Teng. To be honest I think she's the type of person who would listen to Vienna Teng, and that's not even because I love Vienna Teng. Her lyrics are thought-provoking and her her voice is heavenly.

The Disentangler's is probably "C'mon" by Panic! at the Disco and fun., because it's so upbeat.

The Agent's is likely to be "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars because he is a lazy slob who eats a lot (in this regeneration).

Additionally, the Agent and the Disentangler's relationship is summed up in "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" from Frozen. Except it'd be:

Dis: Adil! Do you wanna stalk the Deca? Let's go see what Thete will do! I'm bored here in the Academy, come on and play with me, don't be a fool!
Adil: Lachesis, I'm studying.

And, since we're talking about relationships, Christianne and Eledhwen's is "Dust to Dust" by the Civil Wars.

For Agent Doc, it would be Barnard Herrmann's "The Reading" from the soundtrack of the awful, awful Fahrenheit 451 movie. It's a nice, fade-into-the-background sound, just as Doc can fade into the background while he's reading.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drg85X-govM

I might have said "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel, but Neshomeh already used it for Agent Supernumerary, and I refuse to use a hand-me-down song.

Vania has one, for sure, but I'm not sharing it. It would be a spoiler for her storyline. (As though anyone is paying attention to my spin-off anyway, hurr hurr.)

...because we're on the same wavelength. *Is hit over the head by a rubber chicken*

Bad physics jokes aside, I've actually been thinking of this lately. Allow me to share some of my ideas for my upcoming agents:


Patrol Officer Fire Flash: Earth pony from Equestria, formerly generic castle guard until she described herself to life. She loves a good scrap, and this seemed appropriate.

Patrol Officer Taldaris: Protoss High Templar from the doomed planet Aiur. A slow, haunting theme for a 500-year old agent with limitless patience for his partner's antics.

Special Response Officer Terabyte: (Spoiler text, highlight -->)Reaper-upgraded Geth unit, platform manufactured on Rannoch a few months after the Morning War. A robotic tune for a robotic agent.

Special Response Officer Naya'Keegan vas Iktomi: A young quarian markswoman who lived nearly her entire life on board the Migrant Fleet. A catchy tune for a cheerful and happy-go-lucky personality.

Special Response Officer "The Guardsman" Real name Emiranlanoamar, a Time Lord soldier who survived the Time War. A theme that evokes wonder and adventure for the resident wide-eyed optimist.

Agent Derik

Agents Supernumerary and Ilraen (See if you can guess which tracks apply to which agent!)

See also: Fanmix on PPC Wiki, where you can find a bunch of PPC-inspired mix albums. (I keep meaning to make a track list of all the music mentioned in the Original Series, but I keep putting it off for some reason. Someday, though, someday....)

~Neshomeh

Anebrin probably has Lament of the Highborne as a theme. Suits his sad, broken Elvish state.
Agent!Des...? Hm. HoMM III's Fortress Theme fits. It's quiet and slow at first, explodes into action, then settles down again.
Librarian... I don't know. He's this elitist, snarky, posh guy. He's after knowledge. Any suggestion?

I've never really thought about it, but I guess Agent Miah would be Rob Zombie, possibly branching out to others in the same genre.

Cali...maybe The Dubliners (I know they sang and played stuff ranging from somber to raunchy to "make you want to dance," but that just gives him more moods to choose from.)

Unger--something suitably heroic and epic like "The Ride of the Valkyries"

Kelok is kind of a harder one to think about. He's definitely not human, even though his home!fic made him much more human than he should be. He's kind of a nervous type, so something soothing--definitely none of that nature sounds with ocean waves stuff, though (bad memories for him). Maybe something with strings or maybe chanting. I'm not really sure on him. (of course he could turn out to just love pop.)

Oh brother, now I am going to have to write him having only listened to Classical and chanting and then hearing pop for the first time and loving it. :P (You have no idea how funny the image of Kelok dancing Gangnam Style is in my head right now.)

I don't have theme songs for my agents persay. I do however have a theme tune for each of the fourteen main characters that exist in my original story, which Apollo comes from. Apollo's can be found here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWgNr7D0Cg0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH8Kb8bRzBI

I'll see what you guys can do with only the minimal information about me.

OOF. This one hurt. I can't tell you how many times I had to keep backspacing because I accidentally typed the right word. And it was way too short, but I just couldn't take it any more.


Seyshels tipped his head back so he could see wobble's face better. He was pretty tall but wobbles made him feel small.

wobbles face was covered in clown makeup (whats that still called agan?) but it could'nt hide her beautifull smile. "I love you Seyshels" she said. "I love you to" Seyshels responded.

They're hott romance woud last for eternaty.

Yes, I want to be shipped. Why? I think it will be interesting.
Also, I will only write ships in revenge. I'd feel uncomfortable otherwise.
So yeah. I'm usually depicted as a tabby cat, or a girl with brown hair and freckles.

~Kitty

but I'm fine to take part.

I'm male, 5'11", brown-haired and eyed and as of recently sporting a magnificent beard.

Yo, I wouldn't mind being shipped (again.) I'm still a short-ish guy with messy black hair. Fight over me again B) (I swear I'm cool sometimes) Oh yeah, and I speak french and spanish, that's attractive, right? *puts a rose in mouth* ow

There aren't nearly as many shipfics as I thought there would be.

I'll have to fics that. (hurr get it fics/fix)

I'm not allowed on the computer anymore for the day- it's nine o'clock p.m. where I am- but I will definitely post some tomorrow. First up: wobblestheclown/Seychelles. Muahahaha.

Yes, it's here - the ultimate in megaships^{[Citation needed]}.

In which I take every ship with my name in it (or Kaitlyn's!) and write the whole bloomin' lot of them. And it is nothing like you're expecting.

Huinesoron's Very Tedious Day

hS

Outhra woke up confused. First he was confused at the army jacket and white beret the he hadn't been wearing before, then at the short, very angry Asian girl with the circular hat and the oversized green shirt. "Hello?" he said to the girl carefully. She turn on him with an angry glare. He couldn't help but notice she looked kinda pretty that way. It didn't last long though as her faced grew calmer. Now she looked even prettier. "I'm Lily, sorry if I scared you, its just some people should know better then to combine ships" she said sweetly. There was a thump, and sounds of scuffling. The girl-Lily turned away from him " Excuse me I have to go teach Seychelles a lesson" She turned away from him cracking her knuckles as she advanced down the hall. Yup, Outhra thought to himself. He was in love.

I'm somewhere around 5'2" (on a good day), ridiculously pale skin, light brown hair (shoulder-length+bangs), blue-green-gray eyes (feel free to Sue me if you feel like it), and...that's pretty much it? Yeah, I think that's it. Oh, wait--glasses. I wear glasses. And nowadays I wear a silver ring on my left forefinger, because of reasons which any ship-writers can feel free to make up (as long as you don't mind that I'll be laughing my head off if they're really far off).

(I'm a bit busy with essays and so on right now, but when that's over ((or I get a little time to spare))--just you wait. :D)

~DF

I have no issues about being shipped with anybody, lady ot laddie. :D

She said, and I quote, "Sure, go ahead".

(What is this?! I turn my back on the Board for like, a second, and suddenly this?)

No ropeburn here, unfortunately, just gallons of caffeine and stacks of books and reams of newspapers. I'll certainly get around to posting some ships soon!

Not quite sure what it would entail, but feel free to add be to anything you want.

Because if so I'm cool with it as long as there's no sex for me. I'm tall with short light brown hair, and am usually wearing a jean jacket and boots. I am not going to list my sexuality because I'm not sure.

But this year, we should technically get David Bowie's permission before he gets shipped with me again. Or not. We'll see what happens.

Now with extra endurance and occasional ropeburn because I've been taking classes at the local circus school. :3

I like this idea. I guess a brief description of me is:
Roughly 160 cm tall, slim, athletic figure, black hair and brown eyes (I am of Vietnamese origin).
And I guess for fun, allergic/oblivious to love.

A few basic details: tall, glasses, brown hair, goatee.

Let loose the armadas!

6'1", brown hair, blue eyes. Ship me with whomever you please~

I didn't want to participate in the last one, because I was only a few Board days old when it rolled around, but I'm up for being shipped if anyone wants to!

I'd write for one of the pairings, too, but I tried earlier today and I found out that most of my attempts wind up incredibly out-of-place and sort of uncomfortable, so I'm opting out of that portion. I will need to work on that in the future.

Oh, by the way, before potential problems arise, I'm male, not female. I have found that my screen name was the cause of some confusion in the past.

Sorry folks, shipping isn't really my scene.


That being said, I will enjoy reading the stuff that pops up about other people. Double standards are fun!

I got this one from hS's list of ships; I would never have come up with this idea in a million years. And yeah, I kind of twisted the whole 'ship' thing, but I thought it was funny. So... yeah. Enjoy!


The sickly sweet smell of puréed watermelon was what finally woke Desdendelle. He groaned and opened his eyes, blinking owlishly as he tried to make out his surroundings. The floor beneath him seemed to be moving, which, coupled with the watermelon smell, didn't exactly do wonders for his stomach.

"Oh, good, you're awake," a girl said. Des looked around for the speaker. A lanky girl who looked to be about his age was sitting on what looked to be a horse-print Japanese body pillow, fiddling with a small painted wooden duck.

"What- who-?"

"Oh, sorry, I guess I should have introduced myself." The girl tossed the duck over her shoulder and moved from the pillow to sit next to Des; he realized that, for whatever reason, he was lying in a pile of fluffy plush penguins. The girl gave him an apologetic smile. "I'm Iximaz. My friend Randa's around here somewhere, and that's Bernard in the corner, and the lady you're sitting on is Neshomeh."

Des jumped almost a foot when the mound of penguins shifted, revealing a woman dressed in a penguin suit. "What even-?"

"Someone say my name?" penguin!Neshomeh asked, yawning. She focused on Des. "Oh, hello."

"Uh... hi?"

Neshomeh smiled vaguely and buried herself back under the penguins. A moment later, a faint snoring could be heard issuing from the mound.

Des shook himself and stood- rather, he tried to stand. The floor pitched, throwing him off his feet and into a small stack of books titled Zambezi Mod for Civilisation V. An indignant squawk from the unlucky penguin he'd landed on echoed through the room.

Iximaz held out a hand and pulled Des off the poor bird. "Are you okay?"

"Fine," he replied, swatting a sticky electric toothbrush off his pants. Where the heck had that come from? And was that penguin wearing bikini mail? What the-?

"Uh, I guess you want to know what's going on," Iximaz said, leading Des over to a wall and sitting down. Des hesitated, but when the floor rocked again, he decided he'd rather sit than risk falling on another aquatic bird.

"An explanation would be nice," he said.

Iximaz grimaced apologetically. "Well, it wasn't my idea, but someone thought it would be funny to... well..." She trailed off, biting her lip.

"What is going on?"

She reached up and flipped open a circular window covering to reveal an endless plain of gray-blue waves. Des stared at the ocean, a nasty feeling forming in the pit of his stomach.

He'd been shipped.

In other words, shipping me is fine. {= )

~Neshomeh

Anyone who wishes to ship me, feel free. I am a high school junior with really fluffy-curly brown hair and glasses, so there's your description if you need it.

Ship away!

We're writing fanfic about each other? What is going on here? And it looks like a yearly thing. Clearly I underestimated the strangeness of the internet

Heteroflexible-leaning-straight high school girl. Go nuts.

Also, hS, do we get e-cookies if we write an as-accurately-as-we-can ship of you and Kaitlyn? ;)

I'll be very disappointed if tea isn't mentioned.
Very short physical description: about 170cm tall, rather thin, sandy hair. Black-rimmed, rectangular glasses, tends to grow a messy goatee when able. Also a soldier.

Ship me with whomever you want!

You can use "Hermione" as an abbreviation. Currently, my top two fandoms are Star Trek and Avengers.

As for writing,I'll see if a plot bunny hits me.

Ship me if you so desire!

-Aila

22 years old straight male. Ship to your heart's content.

I am, as always, free to be shipped.

-Phobos

If so... Deshomeh!

=PAUSE O MEN FOR THE VIRGIN=

The creaking noise from upstairs was beginning to get on the clown's nerves.

Why had she introduced them? Well, she knew the answer; they were both alone and lonely, both adrift in a universe that didn't really care for its inhabitants all that much, and her self-imposed mission was to spread joy and laughter among her friends. She wasn't entirely certain what she'd made the two upstairs spread, but she could make a decent guess. The creaking was only getting worse.

Their courtship was something of a whirlwind romance, in that there had been loud noises and a staggering amount of property damage. Each of the pair had taken an almost instant dislike to the other that matured into mutual, staggeringly powerful hatred as time wore on. Hate, of course, is just love with a goatee glued on, so the clown didn't think it was surprising that they were now making, ahem... creaking noises. Damn her if they weren't grating on the ears, though.

Eventually, the clown admitted defeat and switched on her stereo. Deafening circus music expelled the creaking noises from her brain and she relaxed into a state of bliss. Upstairs, the pair began to match their pace with the disembodied oompah band.

Several hours later, the two looked each other in the eye.

"D'you think we ought to tone it down a bit?" asked Neshomeh.

"Nah," said Desdenelle, "this is revenge for the last time Sergio came over. I can still hear the squeaking from those balloons."

"Oh, yeah, that... happened." Neshomeh shuddered. "Ready for round," she glanced at the chart on the wall, "tilt?"

"Aw, we broke the counter again. That does explain why I could smell smoke about an hour ago."

"I thought it was you trying to use the microwave again."

"I - that thing is not a microwave. It is a portal into Hell. Shaped like a microwave."

"Well, yeah, but it reminds me of home."

"Half-succubus-half-angel-half-elf-half-dwarf=half-halfling-half-kitsune-half-dimensional-shambler-half-weasels. Who'd date 'em?"

"Halfwits."

"Touché."

"Don't mind if I do!"

The next morning, they found Wobbles cowering in the corner with eighteen pairs of earmuffs and a bucket on her head.

Let the insanity begin now!

Also, there's now a Mini-Boarder loose on the board (someone forgot the 'e' at the end of Storme in the 11 person ship).

Nice to see you/meet you on the Board, I've seen you around on Tumblr.
I've been good, thanks for asking. Here, have a golden potato as a returnbie gift.

Have an alarm clock, a disembowelled calculator, a space pen and a scone!

I've seen you around Tumblr - where I've been hiding out as well, I came back fairly recently myself.

Well, you need Permission to write in the PPC-verse, but I believe it's okay for someone without Permission to co-write with someone with Permission. So if you post your idea here, then maybe someone will pick it up and join you.

Ooh, cake!

As a welcome back gift, here's some ice cream to go with that cake.

Welcome back! *tosses Time Engineer a Generic Gift* Enjoy!

-Aila

(What is with me, returnbie posts, and exclamation points? I don't get it.)

It's just that the Agents have to wait until they get to a significant breach of Canon. Some agents find the first major breach; others wait for one that's better for their purposes. For example, Agents Nume and Ilraen and Nurse Robinson waited until their Sue in "Blood Raining Night" tried to give birth to God to charge her, despite the entire fic being a trainwreck of a Canon breach. In contrast, my Agents usually wait for the first major breach of Canon to charge the Sue because usually by then the fic is just too annoying for their mental health to continue (or, in case of a recent mission, triggered one of the Agents so they kinda have to get out there as soon as possible).

If there's an OC without enough charges to justify a killing, usually they're recruited into the PPC or dropped off into another continua with their mind wiped. Frequently, bit characters that are generic enough assimilate back into Canon.

I share most of your listed fandoms! Yay! (Except Castle and Criminal Minds, but they sound cool.) I don't know if I'm allowed to give gifts per se, so you can have this Nelson Mandela quote:

"If you speak to a man in a language he understands, it goes to his head. If you speak to him in his language, it goes to his heart."

:)

Hi, have some fudge!

Good to see another tabletop gamer, do you have a favorite system? I started with 1st edition AD&D, finally quit that system with 3.5. These days almost all my regular gaming is with Hero System, but I've played a lot of other systems at conventions.

Feel free to bum around as much as you like, I promise we won't bite :) I'm still pretty green myself since I've yet to claim and-or spork a fic (though I do have one in mind but I want to take my time).

Personally I think it wouldn't hurt to lurk around the wiki some more--familiarize yourself with the smaller (and funnier) details in the PPC lore before and if you decide you want to create your own agents and go sporking.

(The Things I am Not Allowed to do in The PPC in particular is a perfect comedic gold mine. Seriously I was reading them while eating lunch at the campus cafe and some of them had be laughing so hard that my soda almost came out of my nose!)

Since others have answered your questions, I don't think that I need to regurgitate the same answers yet again.

As for your newbie gift,
*rummages through bag of holding*
Here, have a wilver replica Death Star!

Bronies of the world unite! ;)

Welcome to the Board; your present from me is a barking penguin. Make sure to feed it lots of anchovies.

Also, feel free to get involved in the shipficfest; this is my first time, too. Heh heh, first time. *ducks flying tomatoes*

Looks like you've got a fun list of fandoms. Have a cup of infinite (insert drink of your choice).

Well, first you need to collect your gifts as a new boarder! They are crucial to your success on your missions!

*Dumps a mixing bowl, a bar of bleepolate, and a tangled skein of yarn on you.*

Second: I've been bumming around the board for well over a year now without bothering to get permission, but reading/helping to grammar pick missions is always a good step in the vague getting permission. So is writing in one of the event threads when they come up, knocking around reading other missions, and finding goodfic. (Finding badfic is also good, but mostly people like to be able to pick and choose some of the most amusing samples of badfic, and let's face it, we don't see enough goodfic when we only focus on that.)

Welcome!
Put your feet up and make yourself feel right at home. Ummm, just don't put your feet there. Thats kind of a arton energy naquada reactor. Bit dangerous.

In any case, have a silver ink fountain pen. Works on black notebooks and werewolves both. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome!

I give to you now a lined Infinite Notebook, complete with urple covers and wilver binding. Enjoy!

(And yeah, basically you just sort of insert yourself in to the community. Not that that's hard.)

-Aila

Here, have this collapsible unicycle and Bleeprin-dosed custard pie. You never know when you'll need either one of them. Possibly never. Possibly now. Possibly an indeterminate number of years ago, and looking at them now engenders a feeling of deep regret, made worse by the memory of laughter and the ringing of small bells.

As for your other question, well, you've pretty much answered it. What's next is becoming part of the community. I only joined fairly recently, but I'm already welcome. It happened to me, it'll happen to you, much like the screaming and possibly-weasels. =]

I myself was feeling sort of indifferent about the movie, especially since my little brothers had seen it first, and they are AWFUL about revealing spoilers. ("Hey! Hey! You want to know about Marshmallow? The reveal at the end is totally awesome! It caught all of us by surprise! It's awesome!" Etcetera.)

But yes, the movie is totally awesome. The reveal at the end is completely unexpected, and Marshmallow is really funny.

Those of you who have not seen Frozen, do so immediately.

Admittedly it had problems, but overall I thought it was good. Most of the songs were catchy and neat, the animation was gorgeous, and I really like how the climax turned out. There's also the fact that Elsa is a Disney heroine with major mental disabilities like depression and anxiety, which is freaking awesome because representation.

I just found out the the Duke of Weselton is voiced by the same actor who played Wash in Firefly.
I would have never guessed that on my own
