Jan 2013 Archive, part c

...Breehy-Hinny-Brinny-Hooha? Really?

Also, I'd like to adopt Gladladriel, Kelaborn, Caradharas, Neinor, Ectheleon, and Glorfinel (because minis are wonderful creatures and I have a lot of agents). May I?

~DawnFire

As usual I'll take the mini-Balrogs for the Adoptions Agency, unless anyone wants to adopt one.

AWWWW
CAN I HUG ONE?

... you post. :D

Anyways... why is it always these guys who get the Sues?

And where the [Gobbledegook expletive] could a sister for Sirius and Regulus be fit? J. K. Rowling drew up the family tree, burn marks and all.

To the Board~ Hey!
I'm Rina. Here's some homemade rock-solid cookies! Those are not for eating but for throwing. Oh and some chocolates... Hmmm... Would you like milk chocolate or dark?

Welcome, welcome! (if a little belatedly) Glad to meet you! I'm DawnFire :) (also new-ish)

You don't happen to be a Supernatural fan, do you? It's just, the way you worded 'killing trolls, sporking badfics, and exorcising Mary Sues' sort of brings to mind the whole 'saving people, hunting things'...I can't help wondering if it's a reference.

Bleepolate seems to be quickly becoming my signature gift, so here, have some Bleepolate! Enjoy the chocolatey taste as you forget the details of...well, whatever you're trying to forget, really. Also, some of Italy's pasta (he won't miss it), seeing as you're a Hetalia fan :)

~DawnFire

Oh boy, a newbie who comes with present's for US! This is an interesting turn of events.

Well, in accordance with PPC requirements, I shall give you a gift. That gift is...
A Present Box! This has solved all my gift-gv ing problems, this enchanted box from several video games contains something, but you won't know until you open it. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it sorta cheesy, or is it cheese? You won't know till you open the box!

Have fun with your whatever... Can I call you Sam? Or Samantha? Because that name is a little... long.

Welcome to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Not a children's toy.

Welcome aboard! Have some bleepnerds and confetti! -tosses-

Bad Hetalia fic, you say? I may have to take a peek, see if that can goad me into writing for that fandom again. Dear me.

To be honest with you, the whole "killing Mary Sues" thing was what drew me into the PPC. However, even though I'm kind of new myself, I know I have to give you a gift. Here's a Wonderball, straight from the early 2000's candy isle.
(Can I call you Sam? Your user name is kind of long...)

We don't mind n00bs at all. We love newbies. Have a fluffy hat that changes color/pattern according to your preferences!

Welcome to the PPC! Have a bottle of Pink Stuff and some Bleepka!~

Welcome to the PPC. Leave your sanity at the door, you don't really need it. We love newbies, so make yourself at home!

Here, have some crazy music from STockhausen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqvlrphkGAU

And for the past fourteen months, all plovers have been courtesy Fluttershy.

Greetings, new friend! Have an English muffin, Belgian waffle, French fry, Swiss cheese and Klatchian coffee!

So what about the PPC has tickled your fancy? Have you read the Original Series yet? Whose spin-off is your favorite?

Hetalia is one of my favorite shows, but I detest the fangirls. They're creepy.
I also like My Little Pony, and one of the Legendary Badfics should be Sweet Apple Acres. That story is disgusting and has horrible grammar.
I'm a fan of Adventure Time, but I haven't cared to read any AT fanfictions.

Hi, have some fudge!

I can guess that Hetalia is one of your fandoms, any others?

Welcome to the PPC. I'm also new here. Enjoy your stay, and if you write fanfic, write on!

Ah yes, a gift. I offer you a silver-tounged snake that exist and extinct at the same time. Be careful, it may swindle you out of your own skin.

It's interesting that Mrs. Eliot mentioned so many things that we still see today. Looks like good reviews on bad works predate the internet! And she even discussed how Sues undermine views of equality for women, something we've argued as a community before.

I wonder, what would they think of the PPC? Hmmm....
--------------------
George Elliot: You're work is good and all, but why restrict yourself to fanfiction? There are plenty of silly characters, or "Mary Sue's" as you call them, that deserve to be killed on the bookshelves.

SO: I understand, however we protect canon continuum, even is they have Canon!Sue's. Bad fanfiction damages those continuum, where bad writing just hurts our minds.

Mark Twain: Your point? If the writing is bad, then it should be shown for what it is, not allowed leniency for their crimes on the english language and reader's intelligence.

SO: I understand your position, but we have rules, restrictions. What is to stop an agent from 'fixing' worlds that are not too broken in the first place? If there is an element they do not like, and they have the option of killing it, agents will take it.

George Eliot: I understand. Still, there must be something we can do to these bad stories...

Crow: Hey, Mr. Sunflower Face, we got a MST coming up with a really bad original story, wanna join in the torture?

SO: My name is the Sunflower Official, and I have far too much to do to snark a bad piece of writing in a theater with you three.

Crow: Meh, suit yourself Sunny Days.

SO (gritting the teeth he does not have): Sunflower. Official.

Crow: Whatever. Say, you two look important, wanna join us?

Mark Twain: What is this MST you speak of?

Crow as the three walk out of the SO's office: Oh, it's simple. Basically, you find a really bad piece of dreck, be it a movie, book, fanfic...

SO: *sigh* And I thought agents were bad. At least you can punish them for waisting your time, unlike authors.
--------------------
Hmmm, methinks someone now needs to make an MST with George Eliot, Mark Twain, and the folks at the Satellite of Love. That someone should probably not be me.

If anyone here ever invents a time machine, their first stop should be to pick up George Eliot and Mark Twain and convince them to write for the PPC. What awesome agents and missions they would write!

I love how she touches on things that are relevant to PPCers today. She lists types of characters that we see today: Saintly!Sue, Princess!Sue (though she probably would call it Heiress!Sue), Brainy!Sue, and more. She discusses the "drivel" that is urple prose, and provides some amusing examples.
What really spoke to me was how she says that all female writers are looked upon as having the same intelligence as those who write the Sues, and I know that some people think all fanfiction writers are Suethors. She talks about how people give great reviews to those horribly written books, and I'm sure we've all seen the Suefic with hundreds of glowing reviews, and maybe one or two people saying that the character might be a Sue.
Awesome find, Lily!

I find myself shedding many Single (wo)Manly Tears. :'D

(At least, I think it's sister. Hard to tell which to use, with me being one of the few brothers of the PPC...)

I'm having the exact same problem, so don't sweat it. Just come in when you can, nobody's judging you.


...Much...

Feel free to pop in and out whenever you please. If Real Life calls, just go for it!

While not quite classics, they are based on classic fairy tales. Perfectly beautiful, desirable, all sweetness and light, Tragic Pasts, Twu Wuv, Cute Animal Friends, the whole package. The Sue-ishness might have had its roots in the original fairy tales, but Disney certainly popularized them, and many a little girl has wanted to be a Disney princess. Arguably, this is why some little girls grow up to write characters like that.
Interestingly enough, my friend on DeviantArt, who got mad when her characters were accused of being Sues - I posted on the Board about it - is a Disney princess fan, and when drawing her OCs in Disney style used the princesses as references. When she posted the pictures of them, she asked for critique, which I gave to her. (I'm not sure she's listening, but it hasn't gotten angry and I've offered to beta read any fic she writes, so hopefully I can stop anything before it gets onto the Internet.)

...to announce that I've discovered a new Sue color, known as Glite. It is an eyeball-melting, highly unlikely combination of gold and white, and I discovered it in this Warcraft fic.

It is now the official color of OFUA.

I never quite got around to finishing A Little Princess. Sara grated on me as a little Lily.

I'm sure Sir Galahad must be some form of Stu in some version of Arthurian legend, given how ~pure~ he's touted to be.

Thankfully, the writer is so good that the book is still entertaining despite Sara's Canon Sue status. It's almost like a literary experiment: If the worst thing in the world happened to the best person in the world, what would happen?

Back then, I think it was considered more okay than it is today to write about idealized characters, especially idealized child "role model" types. I don't think it was fooling anybody even then.

Charles Wallace... nah, I don't think he's a Stu. His intelligence is really the one remarkable thing about him--he's not given a bunch of superfluous positive traits for no good reason. Sara, for example, isn't just kindhearted (the only trait she actually needs to have for the story to work); she's also beautiful, intelligent, well-traveled, multilingual, and a great storyteller. That she eventually does crack, just a little, is the saving grace of the story.

Charles Wallace is just unusually smart. He's also small for his age, often bullied, sometimes overconfident, and somewhat autistic--more of a realistic character than Sara. Real-life prodigies and profoundly gifted kids really can be that smart.

Well, I guess I'll call this one good, then. Not a whole lot has changed, but it's now published here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iB7IAAECCWFtlgkUGVM-2bVBqWCtHRH1voxgliKhWH8/pub

Unfortunately, it's apparently too large for Livejournal. If I figure out how to post it there, I will, but for now, it will remain on Google Docs.

I'm afraid I daren't take on any more projects right now, but you don't seem to lack beta-readers! Congrats on finishing your first mission, I look forward to reading it when it's posted :)

~DF

Takers. Link me it.

I know this is coming from a newer newbie than you, but I'm glad to see a new member. I gift you a....magical eggplant. What power does it contain? The world may never know.

Welcome~! Have some homemade rock-solid muffins! I'll have to warn you though, those are really hard and will break your teeth if you eat them. (I can't cook -.-)

Is it just me, or have there been a LOT of newbies lately (myself included)? Oh well, you can never have too many newbies! :D (er, that's not to say that we're to be eaten...)

Welcome! Have a tasty bar of Bleepolate to dull the pain of the badfic!

(also, it's pretty cool to see that there are other people who read the missions for a while before making an appearance on the Board)

Again, welcome,
~DawnFire

Welcome to the PPC at long last, you're very welcome here. Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object.

Regarding the process of adopting minis, it can depend on if there's an active OFU or other adopting body for them. With the mini-Balrogs, for example, there's an Adoptions Agency which is run by myself, so I actively update the list whenever I see new ones (or they're reported). But other people just find minis from other fandoms on missions and have their Agents adopt them.

You like the DTE? Which missions have you read? Presumably most of Araeph's?

You're also a fan of Mass Effect and Star Trek, I see! Wonderful! In that case, have this Omni-Tool in case of PPC equipment malfunctions. Also, if you wanted to adopt a mini from the Mass Effect continuum, there's a list of mini-Colossi here: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Mini/Mass_Effect

It's a pity I know nothing about Cyberchase or Pokemon, otherwise I might send my DTE agents to go deal with that badfic you mentioned.

Oh, and I don't know what the minis are for the Cyberchase continuum, but I think you spawned one in your last post - 'Cybercase'.

Oh my, I'm late to welcome you to the board. Silly real life getting in the way...

So, you are a portal fan, eh? Most excellent, as am I. So, to mark the ocasion, have yourself a genuine Companion Cube (c) Aperture Science. Now 100% scorch-free!

Now, to wrap things up, all I need to do is ask you one question:
Do you like bananas?

I am starting to gain a new understanding of what you more-experienced PPCers have to put up with. I decided to actually try and read this 'fic that I was plugging, and now seven chapters in, I actually understand why some Agents bonk their heads on the nearest hard surface! There is no doubt about it; this is without a doubt a badfic.

Correction: The link I posted led to chapter 3. Here's a corrected URL. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7041683/1/Cyberchase-and-Pokemon

Welcome to the PPC! We love newbies here! Leave your sanity at the door, and come on in!

Here: as a welcome gift, I give you this theremin concerto by Anis Fuleihan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLLiikYaV1g

Greetings, new friend! Have an Upgrade and a Dubious Disc.

Have some lemming repellent, dear newbie, and welcome!

Well hello~
Have a bottle of Bleepka!

Wow, that's a while to lurk...

Argh, Cyberchase? And we were just talking about nostalgic old shows!

Have a Balvhakaran powered armor suit! Specially modified to work for a human, despite the maker's complaints about letting idiot goblins get ahold of their equipment...

Hi, have some fudge!

Since you seem to like Pokemon, here's a free, exteremely condensed down glitch Pokemon Missingno.! While it's pretty tame and obedient, don't let it near the console. Just... don't.

Hi! I'm fairly new myself. Have a plate of brownies and tube of urple glitter glue!

Hello, son! I be KittyNoodles, and I am very impressed that you know about the DTE and the DIC! :D

Here, have some bleepnerds and your choice of confetti or a huggle!

Have a *digs in closet* butterfly knife and a lucky cat!

Always good to see another new face around the board. Enjoy your stay!

What are your fandoms? I want to give an appropriate gift.

Is this your first post? Then a gift should be in order. I'll give you a feet of virtual raw keropok lekor. Slice it thin and fry for a crispy snack, or cut it into long pieces for a savoury snack. If it isn't your first post, oh well, I haven't beeen active until recently.

I won't comment on the badfic though, I still need to improve a lot on my grammar.

Very reminiscent of Hans Christian Andersen. Is your friend a fan of his?

Wow. I...wow. That's a very strong poem, though I'd suggest getting rid of the typos.
Please tell your friend that it's very well done and I'm glad to have read it.
~DF

Hiya :)

Nice to meet you :)

Whoa, lots of smileys. Anyway, sorry I'm being so late about this, but welcome (back) to the Board! I hope you've been having fun :) Have some tasty Bleepolate, and three birds singing the Unbirthday Song!

~DawnFire

I keep on feeling like I'm invoking your name whenever I congratulate someone, but oh well.

Have some lemming repellent!

We love it when lurkers decide to say something with frequency! Please remember to leave your sanity at the door, and have fun!

There are so many newbies/returning friends! I'm fairly new myself, and we seem to share some fandoms! (The ones that most of us share anyway) Have some lasangna and a sparkly wilver gel-pen. (Great for secret messages, as wilver ink is very painful to read!)

I see we share the fandoms of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter (though you would be hard-pressed to find a PPCer who didn't). So, have a puffskein! They're cuddly. :)

Welcome back to the Board! Have some of my hydrophobic water to commemorate your return. "Caustic" is an understatement!

Hmmm...
I would like to know your fandoms so I could give you a proper gift...
Anyway, welcome!

Greetings, fellow! Good to see you here. A recent de-lurker myself here.
As a welcome gift, have a box with Schrodinger. Not his cat, but his monster. It eats flames and Mary Sue hair (the sparklier the better), and if you don't pay attention, also your socks.

Greetings, new friend! Have a radioactive hockey puck! You have to outscore the other team before the puck melts the ice too much to play on. Also, before everyone dies of radiation poisoning.

Welcome back! I'm KittyNoodles - I probably didn't know you before, because I've only been here myself for about... hmm, maybe six or seven months? Less? I think I joined in August...

Anyway, yes! Welcome back! Have some bleepnerds and your choice of confetti or a huggle! :D

It seems I did. Sorry. Let's change that :)

Hi! Welcome to the Board! I hope you enjoy your time here (and have been enjoying it so far)!

Ooh, SPN and Sherlock? Glad to hear that. And I agree, there are far too few SPN missions; but there seem to be three (four?) of us so far who will be willing to change that once we've got permission, so...well, in the words of quite a few characters from A Very Potter Musical, "it's gonna be totally awesome!"

For your (belated) welcome gift, have some Bleepolate (which seems to be my signature gift by now), as well as a bag of rock salt. You never know when you'll need it! :)

~DawnFire

Hi, have some fudge!

Welcome to the PPC! I'm KittyNoodles, and for your newbie gift I present you with bleepnerds and your choice of confetti or a welcome huggle! :D

(Don't worry about asking lots of questions - it's how we all learn, after all! Just don't make a new thread each and every time you've got a question - 's better to hijack a related thread and ask than to have twenty different threads going! :D)

Superlock? Sounds fantastic! (Although I haven't watched Supernatural... yet...)

Have some lemming repellent!

Welcome! It seems that we newbies are proliferating quite prodigiously.
As for your gift, I give you a genuine Pokemon-verse bag of holding. Guaranteed to hold more stuff than should physically be possible!

Welcome to the Board~ Welcome~ and have some chocolates, as well, as some homemade rock-solid muffins that are for throwing purposes only.

Is Game of Thrones really good? I haven't read those yet..

OH YEAH

Greetings, new friend! Have a ticket to a free stroll through the Quiet of the Night.

We love newbies around here! Just remember to leave your sanity at the door and everything'll be fine.

Here, as a welcome gift, I'll link you to some music by one Pierre Boulez: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyGe6tD9Vfw

I give you a virtual pair of chopsticks made from cyanide and happiness. Decorative only, try not to eat with it.

High five! Supernatural, aw yeah!
For a welcome gift? Hmm...have an Archangel's Sword, you never know when it might come in handy, right? :)

Hello there!
"Current fandoms" :) That reminds me of my almost-crazy-fangirl friend, who gets a new obsession every now and then. Here, have a giant box of granola bars! Delicious any time of the day!

Have a tiger-print deerstalker! Also, we won't get annoyed at your questions. We love newbies. :)

Welcome to our humble abode. I admit, it's not much, but we made do with the materials we had. But what do you expect from a place made out of POST-its and a BOARD!
(That was...)
Clever? Amusing? Punny?
(Anvilisious.)
Anvil... what does Anvilisious mea-*CLUNK*
(It means it was worthy of anvils on your head.)

(Hello, my name's Jumper. Sorry for what World-Jumper did back there, but I'm sure someone, somewhere thinks his puns are funny. Anyway, this is not about him, it's about greeting you!)

(Before we continue, there are particular questions I must ask you, because if I don't, someone else will. They are:
1. Have you read The Original Seres, the Constitution and/or any other missions or Official Fanfiction Universities?

2. How did you find the PPC?

3. Since you seem to want to write missions, specifically for Supernatural badfic it seems, do you have an idea of what department you want your agent(s) to join?

4. Would you rather face 100 short badfics, or one Legendary badfic?

Answer the questions now, and avoid having to answer them later!)

(Now for the matter of your gift. Game of Thrones fan, hmmm... Here, have a chess game with all the pieces as various chairs and thrones!)
(*CLUNK*)

Payback... is... served... *faints again*

Welcome the Board! Have some of my world-famous hydrophobic water to commemorate the event. Totally not involved with the Total Perspetive Vortex, no sir.

If you're looking for more PPC stuff to read, be sure to check out the Original Series, the basis of all our spinoffs. After that, you might want to wander over to The Complete List of PPC Fiction for a... well, complete list of every mission written, ever.

While you're at it, don't forget to brush up on the requirements for obtaining Permission to write your own PPC stories!

Have fun!

Here's a forest green tiger plushie.
(Couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a visual pun...)

A SuperSherlockian! Good to meet you! Sherlockian myself and recently got into Supernatural too. And Game of Thrones is great as well.

PPC indeed is a ton of fun, as long as you leave your sanity at the door. :)

A gift? Yes, a gift! Have a Reichenbach bow with arrows. It makes your enemies feel the pain of Reichenbach when the arrows hit them.

I don't even know this fandom and I can already spot the mistakes. I had to re-read some parts because of the grammar! And the lyrics felt...awkwardly placed. Very awkwardly placed.

What have you done to Dean? What have you done to Sam?! Good grief, the only IC part of this fic was Dean and Sam caring about each other! I mean, I like Sabriel as well as the next person, but this pretty much just stomped on everyone's characterization, Dean's most painfully (imo). Kill it, please (once you have permission, of course).
~DF

I'm a pretty heavy Sabriel 'shipper myself, but this... Hnggh. Where do I even begin...

Just to avoid any further confusion.

...I get really confused and automatically think of the Garth Nix novel by the same name.)

I dunno about Sabriel being a bad ship- I, personally, think it has a neat dynamic, and since when has canonical loathing stopped shippers?- but oh man, poor Sam. That is as OOC as OOC can be. Dean less so, but definitely still slipping into OOC territory.

Whenever you get permission, I say forge on ahead with it. Stake a claim on the "claimed badfic" page on the wiki.

I like Doctor Who, but I've never heard of Evangelion...What's that like?

...I offer the following fics. It's been a while since I've watched any Supernatural, so I can't necessarily judge the level of OOCness in them, but hopefully at least one will meet your selection criteria.

As a warning, all of these are rated M.

...good luck. I wish I could help (for when you do get permission), but I don't happen to read that particular pairing and don't really want to start.

I am glad to see you want to write SPN missions, though. We could use some more of those.

~DF

In addition to permission, it's sort of... really HARD to find a fic that fits criteria that you set up. Badfic first, THEN start planning out a mission. Believe me, I know how difficult it is. But do you know how hard it is to find a fic with an OOC Arcade Gannon? Pretty dang hard!

So, just look for bad fic first, and then plan your mission around it. If you can find a bad fic that fits your criteria, great! Go for it! But believe me, it is really hard.

Don't you need permission before you start writing missions?

{Wouldn't this be considered an "Unbirthday" because it's a day late, though?)

Ye gods! *huggles, cake, a sling and a sack of pebbles to throw with it, and a basket of Bleeprin-berries*

Congratulations on surviving your second decade!

...A sentiment which garners a whole new meaning after reading that list of terrible, terrible things you've survived through. Kinda makes me feel like a loser for being proud of two broken limbs in nineteen years...

Anyway, yes, happy birthday, Riese! Here, have a giant birthday huggle! -proceeds to huggle the [PUDDING!] out of you-

Chocolate cake for everyone!

Here, have some variations from the wonderful Victor Borge:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajg7FlPv0HU

*Throws cake and confetti*

Wow, that's a lot of ways you almost died. Have a set of figurine golems from your favorite canon! They're basically what the name implies - enjoy having tiny posable characters with switcheable faces and weapons running around in your RC!

Why so surprised? I thought Inquisitors of the Red Fist were naturally hardened to pain, hmmm?

Grats on twenty, I'll be exactly two years short of you in April.

Be afraid, Riese.

Be very afraid.

Oooooooooooooooooh. Ghost fingers.

Happy 20th birthday! That's a lot of near-death occurrences, man, have some congratulatory chocolate or something.

Sounds like you've been through a lot! Happy Birthday, and good luck in the future! (Of course, I know nothing of being 20.) Have a random box inside of another box inside of another box. All wrapped in shiny urple paper!

20 years old, well done good sir, well done on surviving this long. As a gift, I give onto you one Pinkie Pie Premium Party Pack. Pinkie Pie and her party cannon will make sure your birthday is a blast! Oh, and if you are afraid it's going to be one of those 6 year old's birthday parties like she usually does, let me put your fears to rest. The Pinkie Pie Premium Party Pack is not like those other parties, as it is not a canon party. Oh no, it's a FANON party. The highest quality Sweet Apple Acres cider (non-alcoholic if the legal drinking age is 21 where you live), catering from across the multiverse (she is a forth wall breaker after all, she got connections) and music from the one and only DJ PON-3. Further, with the aid of Dr. Whoves and other Time Lords (turns out Gallopfrey was not destroyed by the Daleks in this universe), your birthday party will last an extra 3.573 hours!

Happy Birthday from me,
(and Jumper.)

Wow, your life is either a lot more exciting or scary than mine. Felis Cumpleanos!

Here is a three tiered, sparkly pink birthday cake, with twenty candles. The candles are sticks of dynamite, lets see how you survive that! *laughs maniacally*

Have this complete safety gear kit, a bulletproof vest and a coupon for a free rescue by Madoka Magica's Madokami (or by Homura Akemi, depending on the situation). Judging by what you just said, you're going to need all of that.

It would be a very intriguing read, from what I can tell.

A very happy birthday to you! Alas, I don't have much to offer in terms of gifts, but if you'd like, I could sketch a character of yours, maybe? I don't hold claim to have any particular skill with the pencil, unfortunately, but I've been told I can scribble fairly decently.

Unless you're exaggerating. Then yeah.

Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Wow, tough crowd.

I love that I could identify Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres from context and their "voices" before their names were mentioned. That is a sign of good work!

I'd love to read more about what actually goes on in the classes, like the actual teaching part, but I guess you've got a full year's worth to cover in future chapters.

I'm also increasingly sad that DS9 isn't involved, because I keep noticing instances where the cast would be helpful, like in Dating in Starfleet. Trill and Klingon romance, anyone? How about Ferengi and Bajoran? What if the woman you're dating turns out to be a space pirate with a heart of gold and you have to bring her in? Awkward!

Janeway and O'Brien could totally come in to help talk about being married in Starfleet, though. That's a tricky beast, and I'm sure they all have different ways of coping with the stresses involved. I don't know much about Janeway's marriage, but O'Brien's is particularly rocky at times.

... Muaha. If the fanbrats are particularly ill-behaved, you can always inflict Neelix and Kes on them. They're so sappy!

I will stop telling you how to conduct your OFU now. ^_^;

OK, that was hilarious. Miss Gloria using Hanssen as an assistant makes sense, and the text strings and text walls are brilliant - as is the idea of making the students take their lessons in a room build from them.

Oh, poor Janeway. She really needs that coffee, having to teach that lot. She fits her teaching subject well, too - and I liked the 'You have all been put in this class because it has been decided that you need it'. So true.

Oh, and the fangirls are fighting again. Lovely comparison between the sheer chaos of the fangirls battling each other and the complete calm of Paris and B'Elanna. I see B'Elanna has a lot of minis, too. (Also the: 'don't be gentle about it', HA!)

I had some more ideas, too:

1. Students vs some varient on the Kobayashi Maru test. Exam, perhaps?
2. Have you noticed how often in badfic the Sues/Stus make a bee-line straight for the biggest big bad they can (often the Borg, but not always) and win, just so they can show how powerful they are? Maybe later the fanbrats need a practical lesson in why that is a bad idea...
3. Star Trek is one of the few fandoms in which there are as many fanboys as fangirls. Imagine a class full of fanboys given the teacher of Seven or Uhura etc. Poor teacher, but probably even more poor fanboys.

Looking forward to more, as ever. Keep it up!

It's right here: Chapter Two: Enter Organizers

SC and I borrowed a page from OFUR and gave everyone a chapter focusing on how well (or... not so well) we handled processing the many, many fanbrat applications - and how much worse I am at babysitting keeping our staff in line. Chapter three will be the actual orientation - and some of our dear students are going to discover those new bodies they asked for aren't quite as easy to manage as they expected them to be... at least, not after a lifetime of being human!

Iskillion. Do you need any extra information on him?

... my agents would also be available.

I think I've sent you details of my agents before, do you still have that, or should I sent it again?

Hopefully they'll have wiki pages soon.

Anebrin will certainly be around, and Des will probably be hanging around as a soul stuck inside a suit of Jian Shang Di armour; feel free to use them for this project.

Caleb and Jack will definitely still be here. There won't be much change, either, considering that one's a vampire and the other's a zombie.

The two of them will be around forever. They are eternal.

Christianne will be in her 30s or so, and Eledhwen... is one of the Eldar. So yeah.

It sounds fun, but I don't have permission...
I do have a couple of agents created mentally, and I bet if they did exist in the PPC they probably still be there ten years later.
If only I had permission...
Oh well.

Wonderful! I thought you might've left the PPC, but... well, I'm glad you're still here!

Anyway, with that out of the way... *clears throat*

DIC agent Eusabius and DoSAT Technician Zerenze should be available, IIRC. I think Anneli will also be available, and by that time Saim, Sorsha, and Malran should be old enough to understand stuff by then.

-Herr

Mike and Kilroy'll still be around. Go for it!

The Fisherman and Evie will most likely still be flying about cleaning up the multiverse with improv assassinations and lots of sarcasm.

Whether Fishy will have regenerated during the ten years... I'm not so sure. Up to you I guess! :)

I'd volunteer mine... but I have to finish my first mission, well, first.

Well, Narav, Lana, and Riaa should still be around then, so sure!

I shall pencil it into their schedule!

...unless Cyba, Sigma and Phi manage to drive Eagrus completely mad by then. They'd all likely be in the same departments they are now, that or camped out on their spaceship, the Silver Hound.

She will probably be in DoSAT, though.

Well, mine would most likely all still be around.

...who will hopefully still be around Ten Years Hence, but I don't yet have permission. Can I still volunteer them? In lieu of actual posted missions I can provide a short character description...

Let me know; this sounds very fun.

~DawnFire

All of the Agents listed on my wiki page will be around - feel free to borrow any of them you like. :D

I see no reason why Mittens and the Radioactive Moss Creature won't be around ten years from now. So feel free to borrow them.

Agent!Caroline, Veralyn, and Fiona are all pretty likely to be around in the same time period as TYH. You're welcome to use any of them, iff'n you'd like.

so feel free to use any of them.

As a reminder who they are:

DMS:

Lee Keaton
Ian Nahinu

DBS:

Orion
Agents Mal (Maeryn/Kaliel)

...Patrol Officer Taldaris will still be doing his rounds ten years from now. Disaster magnet Harris Frost of the DoI will also be there.

Feel free to abuse them as you see fit!

I've seen this fic before, but . . . Egh. Urgh. Blargh. Why.

The author just changed so much about the Potterverse, it stops feeling like a Potter anything at all. The entire plot is doomed to fail, because it creates a paradox. Very simply: Harry has a sucky life, causing him to go back and "fix" it, causing the new, young Harry to have a wonderful life, which would remove the cause for him to have gone back to fix it in the first place.

Then again, Avenging!Harry is so clearly not Harry, perhaps it would have worked, since the real child Harry grew up to be thrown into a plothole. Then Avenging!Harry could keep on changing the timeline all he wanted, in an eternal cycle of putting wrong what once went . . . not quite as wrong. You two did a great job of showing off all the ways in which Avenging!Harry was a replacement, through his speech, behavior and mannerisms. This is probably one of the worst examples we've seen of an OC coming into a canon and actively trying to do as much damage as possible!

Especially annoying to me were all the ways living wizards were able to manipulate things after death in the fic. The afterlife was always treated in canon as an utter unknown, but Avenging!Harry was able to affect Ginny and Dumbledore's existences just by speaking sentences, and he was absolutely certain of what he had done. It's downright creepy.

Heather, Ted and Kayla all have very distinctive personalities, and I barely had to pay attention to the "said Teds" and such because of how well their dialogue communicated their characters.

During the charging process, when Heather kept claiming to hear something after the replacement!portrait's moans, I thought for sure it was building up to some terrible danger about to interrupt the charging/assassination. My expectations were all built up, waiting for the surprise to come . . . and then everything went off without a hitch. Perhaps I failed to get a joke? Or maybe this mystery is to be answered in a future episode?

I didn't understand how Ted knew where the plothole containing Harry's family was, until I read the extended charge list and saw that the cave that contained it had been ignored throughout the entire fic. You might want to make that more clear in the mission, since not everyone would read the extra materials.

A couple of mistakes I saw:

"'Especially the portrait of one of Hogwarts most beloved headmasters.'" "Hogwarts" needs an apostrophe at the end.

"The group of agents were gently tipped to the ground in what appeared to be a very clean Kings Cross Station." "Were" should be was (the group was) and "Kings Cross Station" should be "King's Cross station" (So sayeth Wikipedia).

Seriously, I'm all for having an opinion about certain characters... though I can't help but think that certain opinions should NOT be shared. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some people?!

Anyway, good mission, I really liked the Rocky Horror reference and the Stuman bit.

Oh, my. But thank you!
What an awful fic. You say that was the first chapter only? Oh dear goodness.
I really love your agents. They worked well together as characters.
Whatever did happen to the Cloak of Invisbility? That's got to be one of my favorite useless misspelled items I've read in a mission!

I thought that this mission was enjoyable, though I do have some criticisms which I'll get to in a bit.

I like that your agents talk about their fic preferences and favorite ships. It makes them much more relatable than someone who only sees this as a job that needs doing. So, kudos on that. I also liked the choice of making the section breaks into barbed wire, though I wonder how being struck by something like that did so little damage. Portaling ahead and ambushing the Stu was a good idea, as well. No one expects their epic exit to be cut short by a fist fight.

So, my biggest problem with the mission was that the pacing seemed really fast and, because of that, some of the conclusions seemed to spring out of nowhere. Like how they knew where the characters were. I might have missed it, but it seemed like the agents just knew, for some reason. I almost wonder if it was a relic of an earlier draft that no one caught.

Anyway, it was an enjoyable read, as I said. Job well done.

-Phobos

I also giggled at the many barbed wire attacks. Also the Stuman bit.
Hell, the whole thing was rather amusing.

Very nicely done!

I enjoy seeing new missions. This one was pretty entertaining.
I laughed the most at "Stuman".
*1966 Batman theme begins* NANANANANANANANA, STUMAN!

...There's a charge list for the full fic (for those who missed the link in the A/Ns), instead of just the missioned bits, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WkXTR-gk2hZVWnZg9EQug5TW_nmqw6GozvE-RxMgB1E/edit

This was funny and wow, I didn't even read Harry Potter and I could tell how OOC Harry was. Did you write this yourself or was there a co writer?

Ted behaves a lot like me in real life.

Namely, "OW GODDAMMIT WHO WOULD DO THIS?!"

By the way, thanks for making me spit Sobe all over the desk.

Age: Unknown; appears 15
Species: Humanoid ("Dream Knight"; Semi-Fic Blip)
Home Continuum: Dream Universe (Unstable due to it's Semi-Fic Blip status)
Department: Department of Floaters
Response Center: #20 (If it isn't taken already)
Weapons: three daggers; a crystal dagger (gift item) and two standard ones; a fire flower (also a gift item) and a mallet. Uses her twin daggers the most. Also has a talent for weak light magic.
Siblings?: Yes, a younger sister named Daisy (8 years old, in the Nursery)
Personality: Normally cheerful; sometimes to the point where it becomes creepy, loves to create jokes and puns when possible, and can be considered a little too enthusiastic about her job. She is more often seen with a smile than with a frown, even when slaughtering Mary Sues. However, she can (and will, if it is severe enough) get upset about major breaches from canon. She also likes to collect various items from Mary Sues, including CAF if they are not too Sueish, and loves minis. Most agents that meet her will find her annoying, insane, or both.
Bio: She was a semi-fic blip in an original fiction that was never created, and was rescued along with her sister. She never talks about her backstory because she believes that she shouldn't dwell on the past, but focus on the present.
(Psst. she isn't a self insert; oh no. Not at all.)
I'd like for someone else to co-write with me; she currently doesn't have a partner. If you would like to co-write with me, let me know.
(I hope this is good enough...)

Well, I feel like I'm ready. I'll post the information in separate topic posts.

Thanks!

You can give the PPC's Permission self-check a try!

Let me answer your question with another question. Do you feel like you have been here long enough, and participated enough, for us to get to know you? If your answer is yes, then post your agents and writing sample. If your answer is no, then wait until the answer becomes yes.

-Phobos

I'd prefer a google docs link, if you can. Do you need my email to send it to or something-?

I bring back all the minis from a mission, even ones from unobserved portions of the fic, for the sake of completeness, and to give as many folks the opportunity to adopt some as possible.

Obviously, in a mission with absolute butt-tons of minis, there is no obligation to name them all in the text itself. You can just mention that mini numbers have grown ridiculous, and then just toss the names onto the Wiki when the mission is published. Folks can find the individual names there.

As for betaing . . . I do know the Abhorsenverse, but my next day off will be Monday. So unless the mission is relatively short, I wouldn't really be able to get to it until then.

I think the potential minis disappear when you cut the fic short. Of course, in certain cases, that's probably for the best - remember Des' Doctor Who/Artemis Fowl mission?

Or Sergio Turbo's Nanoha/Sailor Moon/Card Captor Sakura/whatthehellever mission?

That was a lot of minis.

. . . my instinct would be to use the appearance of Hall!Indy, simply because there's nothing else in the published canon to go by. Since "Old Indy" doesn't directly contradict canon, and is the closest thing we have to Indy being one hundred years old, it seems reasonable that the Word World would default to that.

But that's just my take on the problem.

I think you could call it something along the lines of Word of God, because it does not sound uncanon per-se, but it is not anon either. Hmmm... I'd say, file it under justified fanon or outright noncanon, though that sounds a little harsh seeing as it was going to be canon, just got cut later. Just my thoughts though.

I... I think it does, yeah.

That's a tricky question, man.

I'm dying from laughter. Funniest interpretation of a Legendary Badfic I've ever seen.

That was ridiculously funny! If only all Legendary Badfics could be made so non-brain-killing!

Ah, yes. The only "legendary badfic" I can actually tolerate. It's not disturbing, like most of them, just horrible lack of SPaG. But, in the case of this video, I couldn't watch the whole thing at once, I was laughing so hard! I had to watch it a few minutes at a time. Laughter: my biggest strength and weakness. Also, the live action trailer for "legolas" is very funny.

Gee thanks, I'm supposed to be doing homework, but thanks to the video you linked me too, I'm to busy laughing to bother :) Seriously, thanks. I really needed a good laugh.

Ooh, yeah, I remember this. I don't think I ever finished watching it, though--I'll get on that :)

(Funny thing is, I was wondering if there was a link to this on the page in the PPC wiki, and was thinking of adding it if there wasn't one...huh.)

~DF

I remember this. In fact, I was just watching it again the other day. Funny stuff.

In the description, it conects to the PPC wiki's page for legolas by laura. So that's cool.

In other news, MY SIDES! Oh my gods, that was hilarious. Honestly, I am still laughing. That was the best thing I have seen in a while. Wow.

Manwithoutabody is a very good reciter. Check the rest of his videos. He is the one who made Them Tempation of Ewdard Cullen epic.

I want a set of talking "Strdier" swords! (Even though they would be totally useless!)
All there needs now is a motion picture of the infamous badfic "Starkits Prophcy". That would be hilarious.

The stupid animation and cheesy sound effects only add to the overall stupidity of the fic. Oh my gods was that hilarious. Good find, Kitty!

I can't decide whether I hate you for showing me this, or if I should give you a high five for it.

My spleeeeeeen...

Combined with the glorious imagery and stock sound effects, this still makes me laugh. (I lost count on how often I watched it.)

I've added this to the Unclaimed Badfic list, along with your comment on it--hope that's ok!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8964802/1/Amy-Virtue-and-the-Goblet-of-Fire

Summery: This is my own redo series of the Harry Potter series. This is number four, and, no, there is no one, two or three because I am simply too lazy. Read the first chapter PLEASE! Amy Virtue

Amy Virtue: The fourth member of the Golden Trio, the fifth Triwizard Champion, the Heir of Hogwarts, taught by the four Founders themselves and is a phoenix, sphinx, basilisk, unicorn, seahorse, sea serpent animagus. Also she can speak Parseltongue and Mermish and change her outfit while dancing at the Yule Ball.

On the other hand it's pretty short: four chapters and 2,541 words, during which she basically solves the plot of Goblet of Fire while describing her orange hair.

That... Was one of the worse descriptions that I've seen in a long while.

Like, even translators are more coherent.

I'm a bit dubious about the, er, actual possibility of it - as I recall, the whole point of the Mirror Multiverse was that it was incredibly hard to get to - but I still found the story(let) fun to read.

hS

It's fun... I'm gonna read the rest!

Hee, these Sues amuse me greatly. But, EPC staging area? I feel as though I'm missing something there...

Either way, I like eet. And I like that you showed some interaction between the Sues before bring FF and Naya in. It made the whole thing seem more realistic.

I love your work, and I love how dedicated Fire Flash is to comedy. Also, "cornered beef." I thought it might have been typo-based cuisine, gotta watch out for that, but it's at least equally funny the way it is. ^_^

I am interested in seeing where you go with this, if only because I trust that it will be hilarious. I almost feel sorry for the EPC. They won't know what hit them!

~Neshomeh

Hmm, interrogation methods are not what I expected here... XD

I also loved the file name. Nothing suspicious at ALL in Security's Internal Affairs folder, nope, mm-mm.
