On one hand, I don't really like going back and heavily editing missions that I've already published, and this one is two years old. On the other hand, It could really use some editing; that's not the Lump we all know and love (to hate). What do you say? To edit, or not to edit?
Do organizations currently exist in this universe that oppose the PPC or direct PPC-like missions towards Agents?
Link's Queen wrote another story about Sclyina, the uncanonical goddess mentioned in My Inner Life, running a kind of twisted version of the PPC, sending her daughters on missions into rival badfics to kill them off and make sure that MIL remains the One True Zeldaverse Badfic (or something).
In my personal headcanon, Sclyina had a sort of unofficial truce with the PP...il Rina killed MIL's Sue, and all the bad things that happened to Rina since then have been secretly engineered by Sclyina as revenge.
Link to that story (no pun intended).
Because if you mean the PPC shared universe, the EPC also fits. But they're from the Mirror Multiverse, rather than the standard PPC multiverse.
General Dandy has been seen in the company of the League.
There's also BioInc, which spends its time stripping Word Worlds bare of resources to sell. And... well, to be honest, The Ispace Wars is pretty much a chronicle of 'who hates the PPC'.
Though it did all happen two years ago. Please don't assume that the wartime status quo will remain.

I assume it's on indefinite hiatus?
Sorry if I am pushy, but I want to know what's happening.
I actually wrote a bit a couple of weeks ago!
Sure, I'm going to have to scrap it, but I did write it. ^_^
I have the next two or three chapters written, and... probably half of the ones after that. If you'd like, I can post the next chapter to give you (plural) something to read?
hS
But I want to read the next one, yes.
... and in a massive show of irony, uh... Des?
You've already read it. :D
The Ladies' Academy: Marchessa
In which Marchessa, Queeness of the Star Elf, encounters Drizzt Do-Urden and his sword Twinkledeath. Or... something.
hS
That was supremely difficult to read - which in this context is actually a compliment! Yup, very believable badfic.
This reminds me: we still need to do the actual co-write part of our co-write, don't we?
- Irish
Which means I need to do my lead-in half first... which means I need to do the other chapter that I'm using to figure out how to do it... :-/ Yeah.

Krautpicking:
I wondered what these Decker things where meant to be, until I read your A/N. A Decke is either a blanket or a ceiling, but the plural would be Decken.
A roof is a Dach, and the plural is Dächer, pronounced like "dasher".
HG
I know for sure he didn't write Dächer; I don't think his typewriter had an umlaut key! It's possible I've misremembered Decken as Decker, or it's possible he did; it was a long time ago, after all. (I'm not at all surprised that an English course on German during the 40s got the wrong word for 'roof'; that sounds about par for the course.)
The interesting question is whether I should fix the Decker>Decken typo. Obviously it's a badfic, so it's meant to be wrong... but on the other hand, that wasn't a mistake I meant to put in. Ehhhh... yes, I will. Thank you!
hS
I laughed out loud. Loudly enough to cause the neighbours' dog to start barking from across the street. I like this. Very much!
Though... when is this going to get its context? Soon, I hope?
Oh, spoilers, I guess. ^~
Yeah, my plan unless you object is to put the entire mission in unedited as Chapter 11. It will be terribly cathartic. ^^ The context is, basically, the the Ladies' Academy are trying to draw Ispace's attention - but have ended up drawing the PPC's as well.
If you think that the PPC and Ispace paying attention to the same stories is probably a dangerous thing in the current climate... well, you'd be right. :D

While it may be two years old, it hasn't yet appeared in The Ispace Wars; for the many, many people reading over there (cue mocking laughter), it'll be their first exposure to your writing.
No pressure. ^_^
hS
I'll edit it and get it beta'd again. Should I poke you here or drop you an e-mail when I'm done?
Then if I don't reply (as I am notorious for doing), you can prod away.

You can read more about them here... but if you're considering using them in future writing, please ask the community if you're going to do something big involving them, because from what I understand their presence has usually led to things like Emergencies.
