I've already found something that might need sporking.

From the Pit, of course. Bad biology (it's in the summary; a plant ingesting a gallon's worth of alcohol, beer, and drugged alcohol? Dear god.), bad pacing (likely in part due to the overall format), out-of-canon relations between canon characters, proclaiming mundane actions as weird and bizarre, and behavior that I can't discern between replacement or possession all within the synopsis and the first chapter, which is just an intro. After that, it only gets worse.

Thankfully it's short enough (8.7K words) that a lone agent could take it out. Preferably with a physical copy of PvZ: GOTY edition on hand.

In case you feel like you're missing anything feel free to ask me, I'd be more than happy to answer.

After risking my sanity going deeper into the fic, I discovered even more problem passages.

-Peashooter and Sunflower have an uncanon lovechild under the influence of the previously mentioned gallon of alcohol, which should have killed the latter due to biology. They immediately take this unsettling development as a happy new chapter in their life. That's not how it works. Bonus points for conception occurring in a form of IKEA Erotica.
-Estimated duration of the fic is approximately between one week and one month, though formatting seems to be compressing it down to less than the former. This is important as bad psychology involved is tied to this, as Peashooter and Sunflower marry (note: this is a common ship but anything beyond basic romantic action (i.e Citrus) isn't exactly the best choice for depicting) at the beginning of the fic and already undergo marital issues in the middle of it. (The only character NOT replaced or maybe possessed in the fic tried to intervene AND called out the bad psychology involved, but of course failed miserably.)

Also, can I claim this BEFORE I file a permission request?

You can. by Iximaz on 2016-05-30 00:05:00 UTC Reply

Just make sure to put a note that says "Permission pending" by your claim. :)

...I think I'll throw my lot in with this one for the good of us all. I've played through the entirety of PvZ2 and I think it's about time someone did a PvZ mission.

Also, are you new here? Welcome aBoard! Have one of my own shed feathers - and a potted Snapdragon! (Yes, it really breathes fire.)

Thanks, but... by TrocyteV on 2016-05-29 06:41:00 UTC Reply

I personally feel inclined to take this on myself, quite frankly. Unfortunately, permission might be a tough one for me since I can't write more than one original character at the same time because they just end up becoming the same person, character-wise.

I see. by SkarmorySilver on 2016-05-29 16:45:00 UTC Reply

Good luck in that case! And if you need help with character development and such, you can always PM me (e-mail is my Boarder name at gmail dot com). I can't promise any swift replies, but I'll do what I can to help you out! :)
