Greetings from a newcomer by

Greetings, folks. I honestly can't remember how I originally came to this site, but I've been lurking and enjoying myself reading the PPC stories for a while, and thought I'd emerge from hiding at last as a newcomer to this community, and a hopeful recruit into the PPC.
My background in fanfic lies primarily in the Baldur's Gate, Warhammer 40,000, and Supreme Commander settings-I have a thing for the darker and morally ambiguous settings, and have been dealing with the issue of Mary Sue for a while-the Baldur's Gate setting in particular virtually forces a good-aligned protagonist to be a Mary Sue to some degree, and I've enjoyed reading the stories here, getting ideas of what is and is not acceptable. I fully confess that my first attempts at fanfic writing were indeed Mary Sues, but I have since buried or rehabilitated them.
I also might as well declare my intent now to seek permission to join the PPC as a novice agent, given my background in Warhammer 40,000, with the intent to hunt down and smite, disentangle, and purge the Mary Sue, the crossover, and the badslash with extreme prejudice, starting with the Warhammer 40k fanfic sector. I'll probably post an official request for permission in the near future, but for now, this newcomer salutes you all and the laughs he's gotten out of the storie. -

Not sure why-I am a male writer. The only women about are xenos (filth, fit only for annihilation), Sisters of Battle (liable to turn you into a meat candle at the slightest provocation), Inquisitors (liable to turn you into a meat candle at the slightest provocation, but only after excruciating torture), adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus (robo-girls aren't my thing), and female troopers in the Imperial Guard (fraternization within the ranks is discouraged).
Granted, anti-lustin lilies would be much more useful to a female writer in the 40k setting. -

Fangirls that are getting really desperate for love (read: lust)is one thing to fear. And Agent Luxury is pretty bad too (I belive she seems to have the mind of Cho Chang from Co Cag's Dsrs...either that or she just doesn't care, as long as she got laid).

Fangirls getting desperate for love/lust? Does this mean I may have doomed myself upon identifying myself as male? I was aware the gender ratio of this place was rather skewed...
Thank you for the warning and the gift. I will hand the flowers over to the Adeptus Mechanicus to see if they can process it and integrate it into bolter shells. Antilustin-Pattern ammunition may be a valuable tool indeed.. -

Assuming I understood the warning correctly, it was that agent-in-training Nathanos will be under risk of some form of assault by fangirls should he leave his response center. Which is why I'm considering partnering him with a veteran Sister of Battle.

The male of the two Agents I'm considering, tentatively named Nathanos, may be something of an exception-he's definitely well built, but he also has bionic augmentation due to injuries sustained before being referred to the Ordo Hydra, also known tentatively as the Warhammer 40,000 division (So named because for every head of the Ordo's target you destroy, three more arise). Probably at least an obvious bionic hand-maybe a full arm.
Current standard armament for him is a plasma pistol and a daemonhammer (extra-large hammer, blessed for the purpose of destroying daemons, which I believe Sues count as). However, given the scope of 40k, and thus 40k badfic, destruction of the non-canon elements may require additional firepower, which is why I'm considering leasing a Blackstone Fortress from Abaddon the Despoiler for planet-killing purposes. 40k won't miss a random planet. Or even a lot of random planets. -

Believe me, such weapons are necessary. WH40k takes place on a scale unlike most: it is entirely likely there will be not one Mary Sue, but an entire regiment of them, and removing non-canonical planets from the WH40k universe does demand planet-killing weapons, which are fortunately in abundance-any midsize starship (at least those of the Imperium of Man) has planet-killing weapons aboard, and the Imperial Inquisition has the authority to declare an order of Exterminatus, no questions asked-it's the reason I chose the Inquisition to represent the war against badfic spreading to 40k. Crossovers, you are warned.
However, while my specialization lies in Warhammer 40,000, I am also versed in several other continuums, and will happily undertake assignments against the following:
Star Trek
Star Wars
Harry Potter
The Inheritance Cycle (don't ask)
Baldur's Gate/Dungeons and Dragons in general
Exception: Lord of the Rings. Loved the movies, but it's been a long time since I've read the books. If I ever recieve a request to do a LotR assignment (i.e. heavier weapons than normal are needed), I would require assistance. -

My hitlist is already filling out nicely-I intend to hit Squad Broken, for one: the squickiest, most infamous WH40k "fanfic" ever to grace the general awareness of the 40k community. Really fairly tame compared to some things coughcelebriancoughchochangcough around here, but the 40k community normally prides itself on the general absence of slash, smutfic, etc.
Once the Ordo Hydra has finished setting up shop, however, WH40k-grade weapons will be made available to Agents upon request, assuming the flowers and senior agents do not shoot the idea down. I believe the Department of Geographical Aberrations in particular might appreciate having access to methods for erasing continents or entire planets in one strike. -

Among MANY other things-if it can conceivably be shot out of a gun or somehow used as a weapon, there's a decent chance it's in WH40k. Good example: the Shokk Attack Gun, invented by the Orks. Fires gretchin (read: goblins) through the Warp (read: hell) to appear inside the target. Said gretchin are also usually insane after their journey through the Warp.

Provided that you've been around. It's not so much the length of time as how much you've participated in the community - the Permission Givers want to have a sense of who you are and what you write before they give you the go-ahead to write within this world. Sometimes people hang around for months before asking permission, and sometimes they're still rejected. Rarely, though. Just hang around, become involved, be courteous and chances are, you'll get it.

All Sues, crossovers, and badslash are to be targeted. The Agents I'm considering are a junior Inquisitor and a veteran Sister of Battle, and the weapons will be whatever is available-probably a daemonhammer for the Inquisitor and an Eviscerator for the Sister.
I've been browsing fanfiction.net for suitable targets, but the 40k fanfic-verse seems pretty well behaved, to be honest-the setting is insane enough that the presence of a Sue tends to get lost in the clutter, and 40k fanfic has a surprising number of honestly good writers. Not to say I haven't found some targets, and will probably find enough to keep me busy for the duration of my stay, but 40k fanfic is nowhere near as bad as, say, LotR or Harry Potter fic.
Still, thanks for the warm welcome. -

only one request. Let me help with any SPace Wolve sues, okay? And any female SPace Marines/. I know it is sexist, p[erhaps, BUT ONLY MALES ARE SPACE MARINES!!!! The genetic enhancements only work with the Y chromosome I think.
Also, if you want help, Willing ot help. I am a warhammer 40k fan, if you can't guess.
my email is dms22@njit.edu, if you want to contact me. -

I'll certainly give you an email for female Marines, and yes, it's because the enhancement program works with male hormones, but I probably won't be doing much Mary Sue assassination-this is 40k. Bending the laws of physics to accomodate the protagonist's latest feat is not only expected, it's canon. Gary Stu is canon, because pretty much everyone is Gary Stu to a greater or lesser degre. To destroy characters for that is to assault a time-honored tradition of the Black Library and 40k fanfic.
My hunts will likely focus on egregious fluff rape (such as female Space Marines, and at least one fic I once read where Necrons joined the Tau) and badslash (yes, there's some in 40k). -

I'm working on it, but the main charges are looking to be crossovers (some exceptions: 40k is insane enough that only badly written/out of character crossovers will be considered), bad slash, plot armour above and beyond the call of duty, and the biggest, most overreaching category of charges: fluff rape.
A small sample of fluff rape charges:
- The Void Dragon awakening (heck, the Void Dragon doing anything besides sleeping, period).
- Necrons talking under anything but very rare circumstances.
- Reverse-engineering Necron technology
- Human/Xenos love affairs
- Human/Xenos crossbreeds
- Female Astartes
- Evil Sororitas (Well, more evil Sororitas who haven't become generic Lost And The Damned)
- Chaos Marines redeeming themselves into the Emperor's service.
- The two missing primarchs. Period.
- Any primarchs returning
- Orks not talkin Orky. -

what abotu the evil primarchs? Magnus the red coudl feasibly return, and some of the others, i think.
And willing to help out, if you wish.
Don;'t forget not using proper Orky Technology. IIRCl ethey have a feidl that defies the laws of physcics. -

As I said, it was a small sample. I'm well aware that physics work the way the Orks think it does, and much more besides.
I will be fine on my own-I work best solo, and I've been sketching out the Agents. -

Because I would seek to eradicate the canon universe as well as the fanfic-I tend to loathe anime as a rule, and keep my distance from it. No offense meant. I will stick to continuums I am not tempted to annihilate out of principle.
I only dared try reading one of the Legendary Badfics, and my brain died after about ten minutes of Celebrian. -

Hmmm... my background specialty is Warhammer 40,000... it's an egg... my guess is a Catachan Devil egg. Might have to ask for permission to begin a fic earlier than I had planned-Catachan Devils are said to be very hungry when they hatch, and they like meat. Right off the bone, preferably.

I'll give you a hint: Catachan is a world where everything, and I do mean everything (right down to the plants) is actively hostile to anything of human size or bigger-living to twelve is considered a major accomplishment on this planet. The Catachan Devil is considered one of the most dangerous critters on this planet. :)

Well, for the benefit of those not familiar with the insanity that characterizes 40k, the Catachan Devil resembles an approximate cross between a scorpion, a centipede, and a daemon, and it can grow up to about thirty meters long.
I get the feeling I might not want to take the Devil with me when I work up the nerve to apply for permission to write a PPC tale, though-even a juvenile Catachan Devil might be considered an unacceptable safety hazard. -

True. However, as a prospective recruit specializing in Warhammer 40,000, I feel obligated to offer the warning that as a rule the qualifies for the DAVD: it is an exceptionally violent setting where billions of people die as a result of rounding errors on tax returns, planet-killing weapons are a dime a dozen and used frequently, and chainsaws can be found in the form of just about any weapon. Chainsaw swords? Ubiquitous. Chainsaw axes? Check. Chainsaw glaives? Check. Chainsaw scalpels? Check. Chainsaw fists? Check, in every size from tank-busting chainfists that fit onto heavy power armour to chainfists the size of tanks mounted on Titans.
Other weapons this setting tends to produce include flamethrowers of every description, guns that fire pure pain, guns that strip away the target molecular layer by molecular layer, guns that send you straight to hell, guns that fire goblins through hell, minigun rocket launchers, guns that shoot thousands of shuriken, razor floss cannons... the list goes on. -

Lots of places to obtain chainaxes, but the best bet would be to take one from a Khorne Berzerker, but if an Agent wants to get one, I have to recommend extreme caution: Berzerkers are extremely bloodthirsty supersoldiers who happen to be axe crazy with a side order of fries, and most of them carry a semi-automatic armor-piercing rocket launcher pistol as a sidearm. The ones that don't are worse: they use that free hand for another chainaxe.

Well, since a branch of the Inquisition might be setting up shop here in the near future, I can always requisition a chainsword for you-chainswords are standard equipment for Imperial officers. Personally, I'm taking a daemonhammer as my weapon of choice.

We regret to report that the local branch office of the Imperial Inquisition, Ordo Hydra, is currently under construction. Installation of such a sub-sector would require the approval of higher-ups in the PPC. However, it is tentatively proposed to be a subdivision of the DAVD.
When complete, 40k-grade armaments may or may not be made available upon request. The phrase "overkill" comes to mind at the suggestion of introducing 40k-grade armaments to other continuums. -

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. -

Yes, I've visited the wiki (that's how I found this place), enjoyed the original series, and read many of the PPC stories by others here-as I said, I've been lurking for a while, and have been attempting to familiarize myself with this place.
As for sanity, I have none to leave behind. As a common saying in WH40k goes, there is no sanity-only degrees of madness.
