The PPC Roleplay Board - Latest posts

Didn't we kind of put a moratorium on this kind of thing a while back? "Squick for squick's sake," that is. Looking at that URL, it's not like you were innocently browsing ff.net and came across some random Trek PWP.

For example, we could be the PPC - a collection of people who strive to make use of a satirical sense of humour to define what is 'Acceptable' and what isn't in the world of Fanfiction writing. To do this, we make stories that parody the cliches of writing, using a pre-existing text as our basis.

Or, otherwise, the PPC is an organisation of sentient beings who are controlled to take a stand against the stock character of the 'Mary Sue'

That's my definition anyways.

Although as a luker I don't think my opinion really counts.

OH GOD MY VIRGIN EYES! claws at face

It has to have a cat disguise. How would it take this?

Looking at the page delineating what the PPC is on the Wiki, I've been thinking that it could do with expanding on.. It's looking a bit bare :)

So, what IS the PPC? What do we need to say to explain our eclectic, esoteric and eldritch activities? Ideas?

...and in my trust-me-I'm-not-a-doctor-type 'professional opinion', I don't think it'd make a good mission. The technicalities of the writing are passable enough, and the NSFB aspects just go on at a fairly regular (and excessive) level all the way through so it's not like you could go partway and expect to exorcise at the 'most appalling part'. There isn't an appalling part. It's all just ... flatlining appalling.

That said, if anyone does want to take it on, consider me at your service for beta-reading etc and Agent Trojie can be ganked if you want backup.

I second the "KILL IT!" I didn't get much farther than you, but... Sweet deities of many fictional universes. I'm not very familiar with Next Generation, but that is simply GAH. Even I can tell that nobody would be able to touch canon with a thirty-five-and-a-half-foot pole.

What's sad is that it's actually got good grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. Perhaps written as a parody? Although, I think it would be going a little far even for that. winces I'm going to go hide under my table now.

Thanks.

I could push their arrival back to mid-August, if that would help.

Offers up some honeyed catboy remains

I don't like having two board, but for now it's safer.

KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!

I'd do it myself, but I don't have time. growls

Actually, it's not as bad as a story that thinks itself serious, but it's still offensive. I didn't get past the first eight paragraphs and I DO NOT WANT to know what else happens... unless I'm seeing it PPCd.

Ahhhh...found Ewoyn lurking around my ancient LotR and HP fics. I'm glad I've never posted those. I might have ended up getting put on the Legendary Badfic list. Or PPC'd at least.
I don't mind taking care of Ithillien and Mara. I found him with Ewoyn, by the way, snuggling up in the corner and earning dirty looks from an old OC who is undoubtedly a Mary Sue. Like the whole magic staff with a blue crystal doesn't give it away...

looks at minis Ewoyn! Don't DO that! Now I'll need Bleeprin to get rid of the images! Come on Ewoyn, we're going to Aunty Cassie, she'll send you home...what's that? Oh...that way, huh?
looks back I think Ewoyn's in love with Ithillien...I'll send her back though...

Aha! Ewoyn is on the list of adopted minis! She was kidnapped from her owner, Andy. If you send her to me I can send her home.

Ithillien appears to be a new one... I can't find any records of him. I'm sure he'd get on well here at the Adoption Centre, unless you'd like to to adopt him. If not, send him over with Ewoyn.

Woudl they eat angsty kitten person pet thingie stu> I think after one sugary induced thing, naomi will cut drake off any future food.

I meant badfic characters in general. I'm not sure if the minis have tried Stu, but I'm certainly willing to offer it to them and see what they think.

Many thanks.

The place with teh two giant statues in the rock walls?

As was the rest of DoSAT. You're welcome to use them.
