When I asked this (stupid) question, I was thinking about propriety, not forcing my way in. And I must admit I thought "If I get this answer, there is no way I'm getting Permission this time." Once again, I apologize for behaving like a fanbrat and properly reading posts here.
So, last time I posted these prompts, it was a fail. But thanks to games like Fire Emblem, I learned obstination, no matter how great the failure. So here I am again, to ask Permission, hoping to add my writing to the awesome and crazy universe of the PPC. I offer all my thanks to Dorano, SkarmorySilver and Tira for their hard work as beta readers. I couldn't have posted this without them.
Without further additions, I'll post the prompts:
-The Agents of RC 2882437.
-Permission Prompt 1.
-Permission Prompt 2.
-The badfic who would be my first mission: WhatYouWishFor.
Now, I can only hope for success. Let's toss the dice.
"...Well, our job is going into really bad fanfiction and killing the Sues in order to repair and protect canon..."
Department: Floaters.
That is not their job. If you want that to be their job, put them in the DMS. The Department of Floaters is supposed to be for agents who handle all sorts of missions, not 'Mary-Sues except I want to occasionally do something else'.

I guess that if I ever do missions which would have to do with the Floaters Division, I could write about a transfer.
There's not really anything that is Floaters-specific because they basically specialize in not specializing. They're HQ's jacks-of-all-trades.
You can understand why I'm a bit concerned that you don't seem to understand this bit about the PPC universe?
I was just thinking about writing a really fast ad simple explanation for PPC, without having the time for more details. I should have elaborated it more, judging by your reactions.
It's a description of the Department of Mary Sues. The PPC is about way, way more than just killing Sues.
What you did is like saying 'it's where they make movies', and then claim you were writing 'a really fast [and] simple explanation for America'. No, what you just described was Hollywood.
hS
How much tie before I can try again?
... what?
Leaving aside the fact that I said before I wasn't wearing my PG hat, this has never been about time. If you don't have a grasp of what makes the PPC the PPC, you can wait ten years and still not get Permission. If you take on board whatever guidance you're offered and learn to write in the spirit of the PPC, you can get it easily.
Once again, I've still got the Hat off - but one thing Des said to you last time was 'It's odd for Richard to say that the PPC is basically all about Sues, especially since he's in Floaters and isn't a complete newbie.' Which is exactly what I've said to you today. What else didn't you change?
Look, Permission isn't a game of repeatedly throwing yourself at a door in the hope that it opens. It's about- oh, look, where did I put that meme?
That's why we're doing this: to check you can write decently. Not even perfectly - just decently!
hS
(Great meme, too!)
I must sound like a fanbrat right now, and I should learn how to read. I did miss this one and 'fixed' this with a change of Department.
Hardric, never doing anything halfway, especially when making a fool of himself.
(funny meme by the way, you should see the ones about Dresden.)
