Welcome to the page of DawnFire (not to be confused with the Department of Floaters, even if she does tend to sign posts on the Board as 'DF'. DawnFire is not a Department, and does not currently plan to place any future agents in the DF). The reason there is currently very little here is that DawnFire (in addition to apparently talking in the third person) saw little point in doing so when she had only actually been talking to the PPC (ie, been posting on the Board) for about a week by the time she made a Wikia account. (DawnFire will now cease writing in the third person, because it is very annoying to keep up). However, it's now been just over a month since I said hello, and so I thought it was time I actually put something here.

With that said, it looks like I'll be adding things slowly. So keep an eye out for new paragraphs, sections, and so on if you're interested.

=The Story=

Discovering the PPC
DawnFire discovered the PPC sometime during 2008 or 2009 (she's not entirely sure). There are various theories as to how she did this.


 * DawnFire discovered OFUM on FFN, and followed the link to Miss Cam's website, where she found the PPC. It snowballed from there.


 * DawnFire somehow discovered the various PPC spin-offs posted on FFN, followed the mentions of mini-Balrogs to OFUM, and followed the link to Miss Cam's website, where she found the PPC, etc.


 * DawnFire followed a mention of the PPC in a parody fanfic to Miss Cam's website, where she found the Original Series and then discovered and read OFUM. From there, she read the PPC spin-offs on FFN and other sites, found MSTs, and eventually made her way to Deleterius, where she spent rather a lot of time reading (and, occasionally, commenting under the screenname Brightshadow).


 * DawnFire is actually a PPC agent from an indeterminate division, who fell into World One through a plothole, and was quite shocked to discover that the PPC was *gasp!* fictional! She proceeded to gather as much information as she could on the organization, and finally decided to join the Board and get Permission in an attempt to write herself back into HQ. Why she hasn't simply tried flying to New Caledonia and poking around the hills until she finds the entrance is unknown (possibly the plane ticket is too expensive) . Whether or not she will succeed in returning to PPC HQ is also currently unknown.


 * DawnFire is secretly a kumquat that spends its time making up conspiracy theories and decided to infiltrate the PPC after discovering its existence half a decade ago.


 * DawnFire is an insane writer who enjoys making up conspiracy theories far too much and should stop writing them right about...now. (She also enjoys adding too many links, and must now face the consequences of having to investigate each one to ensure that it leads to a real page . She has now discovered that Wikia marks broken internal links in the preview, and is very happy).

Feel free to choose whichever of these options makes the most sense to you. DawnFire would like to point out that each theory has at least a small kernel of truth hidden inside it. Yes, even the one about kumquats. No, DawnFire is not entirely sure what a kumquat looks like, but imagines that it resembles a persimmon in color and taste (and therefore would not make her list of preferred fruits).

Post-discovery
After discovering the PPC (however she did it) and reading a great deal of PPC fiction and both related and unrelated MSTs, DawnFire discovered Deleterius. Her involvement there went much as discribed in the third theory above. Several months ago, DawnFire noticed that Deleterius was gone. She still doesn't know why (she suspects another argument), but would like to.

DawnFire owes a lot of her ideas about writing to the PPC, and to the Canon Protection Initiative in general. Because of them, she knows about Mary-Sues, common story plots, rules of fanfiction, rules of writing interesting characters and stories, hallmarks of good writing, and probably a lot more. She also owes many hours of entertainment to their wonderful stories and ideas, and would like to thank everyone who had a hand in any of this (teaching and entertaining alike).

She would also like to either thank or slap in the face with a fish (a la Asterix) whoever started the PPC wiki. (She would include everyone who has contributed to it, but that would both take quite a while and include herself, the latter part of which could get either narcissistic or potentially stinky (depending on just how recently Unhygienix's fish left the sea)). She has spent a considerable amount of time getting lost in the many, many articles it holds, and is extremely happy not to have tests or homework this year, as she would no doubt have neglected the homework and failed the tests quite miserably. On the other hand, she has gained quite a lot of knowledge about today's PPC, which will no doubt come in handy, especially once she starts writing missions.

The Board and Current PPC Involvement
DawnFire posted her introductory post on the Board on January 13, 2013, and was of course immediately swamped with welcoming responses and gifts (as is usual with newbies). Her original plan was not to get Permission and write missions; instead, she wanted to say hello to the organization (read: fandom) that she had followed for so long, and to ask if she could have the PPC make an appearance in an outtake for a Mary-Sue parody fic she was (and still is) working on. Un Fortunately, she answered a list of questions, one of which was, Do you plan on writing missions?. For that question, she answered that she would like to, but probably shouldn't start another project. Following that, her brain decided to run away with the idea, and started trying to create agents out of thin air. On the same day, she opened a document and started brainstorming. A little over a month later, that document was 54 pages long, and still growing, filled as it was with rambling, agent backstory, brainstorming, and notes on the PPC and various badfics. (It has since been split into three documents). She also has six agents mostly invented, with another one or two characters trying to shove their way into existence. With that said, DawnFire is putting together a much-needed (for her sanity, that is) Permission request, and hopes to submit it soon. Before the plotbunnies eat her alive.
