It has been many a year since I last heard of the PPC. I don't even remember how long ago it was, honestly, but a long time indeed. Last time I checked it was really just Jay and Acacia, along with a few other brave souls. I made cause with them, but honestly I couldn't get through enough bad fanfics to actually write anything. As time went by I became distracted, and wandered away from this corner of the internet. I figured this little adventure would have eventually played it self out, leaving behind, at best, a decaying, obsolete website.
So, imagine my surprise while wandering the awesomness that is TVTropes in finding that the PCC was still around. You guys have done damn well for yourselves, and have carved out your own niche in cyberspace. In fact, from what I've seen, you're better organized and growing faster then most of the online communities I'm part of, not to mention the Real World ones. You guys should be proud of yourselves.
Anyway, enough ramblings from an old-timer (well, relatively speaking). In more relevent news, have you guys had a chance to take a stab at the new contender for the title of "World's Worst Fanfic" AKA "My Immortal?" (No, really. Google "worst fanfic" and it's the first hit). If not, it definitely needs it. Worst Sue I've ever seen, and quite possible one of the more disturbing things on the internet, and believe me, I've seen a lot.
Happy hunting!

The PPC community here is a bit... dead. We rarely use it. So I thought I'd link you:
The main board:
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/199610.html
The supplementary board, used when we need to hide from spambots and for RP games:
http://disc.yourwebapps.com/Indices/241484.html
The lovely PPC Wiki:
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPC_Wiki
If you haven't already been to the Board by the time you read this, I suggest that you go on over and post - most people don't check the LJ very often.
Once again, welcome back!
(PS. Yes, I believe "My Immortal" has been exclaimed over quite a bit. Not knowing it very well, I've stayed clear, so I'm not sure, but I think there was a recent post about a sequal to it...)

Date: 2008-10-16 11:11 am (UTC)The others have given you the wiki and Board links, so I thought I'd chip in with The List of Everything PPC (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ppc/20306.html) and The Complete List of PPC Fiction (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ppc/18564.html). (I need to update those, but it should give you an idea of all we've been up to.)
