Have some lemming repellent, and I think everyone else has said what I'd like to say.
Really though, your enthusiasm is appreciated - just don't rush into things! And if you really want to kill badfic you could MST it; that doesn't require Permission and could be just as cathartic (as well as put the flaws of the story on display for easier reference later on).
Hi. I'm new here. I'm considering doing a mission wit a particularly bad badfic I found, but where do I start?

Greetings, new friend! I look forward to seeing you around!
Help yourself to the bag of venomous invertebrates! Don't worry; they don't bite!
Have a slingshot and bag of pebbles.
Welcome to the PPC! Hope you have fun, which is likely, considering your enthusiasm. I see some other Boarders have addressed that, so I won't. I hope this misunderstanding doesn't keep you away from the PPC. I'll tell you something--I only joined the Board only because I saw that hanging around for some time was necessary for getting Permission to write missions. Then I joined, and I realized that I enjoyed this community, and I didn't even have to write any missions. I don't have Permission yet, and I'm fine, because I love being part of the community.
Oh, and, as a newbie gift, have a fluffy hat (color/pattern up to you).
Welcome to our little board. Though, with all the new people coming in, it won't be small at all shortly.
Woah, a sporking in the works already? Slow down partner, ya got to get a little known around here before you jump to mission making. Kitty spelled it out fairly well. Still, good to see you are at least enthusiatic. Good trait in a PPC member. Still, perhaps a simple MST would do? Afterall, MST's alow you to snark your way through the whole fic, which is pretty fun.
Now comes the time for questions. These questions must be answered, or else nothing can go on. Exept everything can still go on, I would just be disapointed. So, here are your questions:
1. What are your fandoms?
2. How did you find the PPC?
3. Since you want to do missions, what department do you want to work in, or do you not know?
4. Have you read the constitution?
5. Have you read The Original Seres?
Answer those, and we should all get along swimingly. Oh, and if Anonymous is you, make sure to either make an acount or remember to fill the Author box each time you post.
Erm... are you considering doing a mission as a member of the PPC? Because it's generally better if you:
-Hang around for a while - no specific time, but long enough for us to get to know you a bit.
-Read as many missions as you can (well, okay, at least enough to see how different departments do different things).
-Read stuff on the Wiki (because the Wiki is full of funny pages).
-Ask for Permission before creating your first agent pair (and there's even a Wiki page all about Permission, for your convenience and whatnot).
-Maybe even cowrite in the meantime (just make sure your cowriting partner/s has/have Permission)!
...and then do some sporkings (which I assure you are totally worth the wait).
On the other hand, you can spork something without affiliating yourself with the PPC, and you don't need Permission or that. Other Boarders probably know more about that approach than I do, though. :D
-- Kitty, attempting to be helpful and signing her name because she can, dernit.
I have done all these. Also....
Dear Darwin, let this be a joke.

You say you've done the things Kitty listed.
-Hang around for a while - no specific time, but long enough for us to get to know you a bit.
Since this is basically your introduction post, haven't had any chance to get to know you.
-Read stuff on the Wiki (because the Wiki is full of funny pages).
Hum... not sure about that, especially combined with the next point.
-Ask for Permission before creating your first agent pair (and there's even a Wiki page all about Permission, for your convenience and whatnot).
See the point above. Had you read and understood that page, you'd know how a Permission request works.
-Maybe even cowrite in the meantime (just make sure your cowriting partner/s has/have Permission)!
I kind of doubt you did that one.
You really should get acquainted with the community before storming head first into things.
Also, have some Bleepnerds and a huggle as welcome presents! -huggles-
I've lurked here since september and just decided to post
Uhm, without wanting to gang up on you (we're only trying to help, Ellipsis and I), lurking doesn't really help us get to know you. See, part of getting Permission is being well-known enough by others on the Board that we're familiar with your fandoms, how you handle some of the more inflammatory badfic alerts (like the multi-mission one involving Mulan, which I failed miserably with), and, erm... well, overall writing skill, really. If the Permission Givers aren't comfortable about those sorts of things, you probably won't get Permission.
Give it about a month (give or take a few days) of interacting with us here on the Board, then give the Permission thing a whirl. :D
It would probably help if you described what type of badfic you are wanting to spork...
Reading some missions and the wiki might help.
Also, you need to create an agent if you haven't already.
I know I'm not much help, (since I'm pretty new myself) but hey, this advice is better than nothing.
Since you're new, I need to give you a gift. Take this Wonderball; a yummy hollow chocolate ball filled with other candies inside.
Delicious! I already have a Chocollipoprockitkatictac. It's a sue-dom candy that tastes like all the candies ever combined. EVER.
