Year:2014

← 2013 Year: 2014 2015 →

This is a brief summary of various events in the PPC, Real World Time and HST-wise, during the year 2014.

January

 * 1, 5, and 12
 * Series three of the BBC's Sherlock airs on BBC One.
 * 15
 * Agent Morgan founds the Continuity Council of Gallifrey-in-Exile.
 * 24
 * Agents Marvin and Printworthy take on their first mission in "The Death and Ressurection of Shining Armor."

February

 * 3
 * There's a badfic making trouble in Gunnerkrigg Court, and agents Wobbles and Notary are the only women for the job! Well, they're not, and they're probably worse picks than any of the other female PPC agents, but it's the sort of thing one says. Still, they're here now, so why not watch them take on a canon fire elemental (and bicker) in "The Wobbles and Notary PPC Power Hour!" TW: rape, torture, and an appalling grasp of the English language.
 * 6
 * Sergio Turbo, Nikki Cherryflower and Corolla continue their investigation of the Blank Sprite Incident. Car chases, magical firefights and more nonsense ensues.
 * 19
 * Eledhwen and Christianne take down a Sue who claims to be Spock's t'hy'la. T'Zar helps them get rid of two uncanonical buildings. This mission was brought to you by the words "feminism" and "Twilight."


 * Unspecified
 * Agent Joel Whitegrass is taken into DIA custody for bringing petrified Mary Sues into HQ for an art exhibition.

March

 * 5
 * Huinesoron begins the 2014 PPC Boarder Shipfic Fest on the Board. Notably features digressions about Homestuck, clowns, and HTML color codes.
 * 7
 * Newbie agents Rina and Randa get their first mission and Rina goes a little crazy. (The Sue made the mistake of messing with the Marauders.) The only possible outcome was "Ordellya's Untimely End."
 * 15
 * A Troupe By Any Other Name produces a version of Julius Caesar set on Gallifrey. The show runs through May 30.


 * Unspecified
 * Chris drops into Headquarters from Limbo. He is later partnered with Ami Seeker in the Department of Floaters.

April

 * 1
 * Reality falls apart as Agents Abaddon and T'Zar take the Reader's TARDIS for a joyride (to Gallifrey!) in "T'Zar's Reassignment"; in the real interlude, Abaddon meets his new partner for the first time, and T'Zar is reintroduced. Second interlude set in March 2008.
 * 2
 * Agents Doc and Vania Tolluk suffer through temporal distortions and Poison Joke in the PPC's first Epic Mickey mission.
 * 4

 * Mid-month
 * Alexander Appleday joins the PPC with the Medical Department.

 * 14
 * Newbie agent Falchion and new transfer Rashida Mafdetiti face down an eleven-continuum pileup, a cloned Super, an existential crisis, and a very angry Tyrannosaurus rex, in that order, on their first mission together: "Connecting the Dots." (NSFW for fetishes, violence, gore, and general nastiness.)
 * 15

 * 14
 * Neshomeh starts the PPC Holiday Filk Game on the Board. Happy filking!
 * 17
 * Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is released in the US. It is every bit as overblown and ridiculous as expected based on the previous two films, and hardly seems worth the touching musical sendoff by Billy Boyd in the end credits. Still, end of an era and all; many PPCers get a bit misty-eyed with nostalgia.
 * 18
 * Rina and Randa have to deal with several replacements and an unusually pathetic Sue. Oh, and Rina goes a little crazy. Again.
