The PPC Roleplay Board - Latest posts

Sometimes it just takes a little while for people to get round to posting. If you have a LJ link, most usually post on there as well.
But it looks pretty good. Now I've gotta think of ways to get my Agents involved. Or not... Hmm.

I volunteer Agent Arti to kidnap one and study them, just to se eif they have a special immunity for Squickfics that could be useful to the PPC.

I agree that NC-17 should not be on ff.net, mostly because of how many children frequent that site. Unfortunately there is plenty of evidence that underaged users are all over adult alternatives such as aff.net. There is no reliable way to block them out either. I know I used to lie my way into aff on a regular basis.

If there's a reason why a character would never experiment then I would respect that when writing fanfiction. Friendship fics are just as interesting to write as romance fics, sometimes even more so.

I must be doing something wrong with my posts. Now what could it be?

Looks like it's missing, all right.

It was that bad. I don't even know much about Full Metal Alchemist, and it was blatantly, obviously, horribly bad. Songfic, too, by the way.

Since I still had it up on my screen, here's the first couple of sentences:

Sophie walked into the office. In her crisp blue uniform with the Uniform Skirt and a pair of blue heels. Sophie Jennifer Witmor. She was a solider and a girl, at only age 17. She was a little to mature for her age, and she hated it. Everyone liked her for her looks, they never let her do anything!

Yeah. And that's just the start. She's a lieutenant, by the way. One who flouts regulations and insults superior officers ... hell, knocks down superior officers ... but seems to avoid the court-martial that should naturally follow. We've got world-class Sueage here ... and she took it down. :( Where's the fun in that?

Once I get a decent microphone, anyways.

If you can give good reason for going right instead of left when the road splits and keep the characters IC, go for it. If you can believably have them become a different person, have a blast.

I know you're never going to stop everyone from writing fic you don't like, or fic in general. Case in point: there are sites full of NC-17 HP fics and Jo's made it clear she doesn't want NC-17 fics written with her characters. I just don't want it showing up on ff.net and other sites that get a lot of traffic.

At this point in my writing, all the characters have settled any questions they might've had about their sexuality. Bri's a moderately conservative Christian so he'd never act on any homosexual urges and Kyle wouldn't because...he just wouldn't. There's a reason but it's complicated and involves issues and baggage from his childhood that he refuses to deal with. He still wouldn't even if he got therapy but at least he'd be able to explain why in twenty words or less. ;) The only subtext I've tried to lay for them is one of friendship and mutual respect, both personally and professionally.

Cassie wased no time in testing out just how easy it was to fit all her presents in. "This is pretty nifty. Oh, graba drink. We've got plenty left."

... when the New Caledonia city was founded, some of us were thinking it'd be nice to have a PPC PO Box in New Cal to send postcards and stuff to. For various reasons that's ridiculous, but if anyone happens to live close to Canon City, it could be a revivable idea...

If it can wait until, er, Wednesday, that is. Bloody essay then someone's leaving do will have me occupied until then.

... the Board on Geographic Names officially added a tilde over the n, making it technically Cañon City. So speaks Wikipedia.

Nevertheless! Given that the Canon Protection Initiative already has one official residence on World One (ie, the New Cal city), an office in the US would be perfectly acceptible. All we need now is for someone to canonise it...

Who wishes to take it on? Whoever takes it must have a working knowledge of HP and of K-9's character.

(If it was as bad as you say, I hope the latter.)

She ran back to the bag and grabbed it. "It's a bag of holding. To hold all you other presents. And stuff." She walked off to the other auditorium with Cassie.

LEARN. YOU MUST SING.

Er, I mean, if that would help... innocent

Lembas.

It's not overly destructive, but it's packed with canonical Elvish goodness. Plus I think it would be funny. {= )

~Neshomeh

I just have to learn the tune for the lines.

~Neshomeh, who does know the chorus.

Thanks to a poster over on GAFF, I've found the most blatant Mary Sue I've seen in a long time. There's no subtlety there, no attempt at masking her Suefulness, just pure, plain, unadulterated Sue, with an extra helping of attitude on the side.

I don't know FMA well enough to give this the snarking it deserves. I'm sure there are a couple of Agents somewhere who could clean up this Sueage. Oh, how I want to read that one.

Happy birthday even though it isn't anymore!

A small temporal plot hole opens up in front of you and a gaily wrapped package slightly too large for the hole pops out, rather like a cork from a bottle. A large tag on the package says "Happy Birthday from Katty" with "and Ace!" squeezed in underneath in a different hand. Another tag, this one somewhat more ominous looking, says "Explosives. Protect from heat, impact, electrical shock, and warp zones."

If you unwrap it (carefully) you'll find a case of 12 petards. Have fun hoisting Sues!

So if a Sue can't be hoist with her own petard, at least she can be hoist with yours. Handle with all due precautions for explosive devices.

(or would you need a dratep instead?)

Borrow the army Morgoth used to sack Gondolin? Dragons, Balrogs, orcs without number...
