Quick question about badfic reports by

What should I do if a fic is bad enough to be reported, but the title is Not Safe For Work? Should I just put it up on the Unclaimed Badfic page? Put everything into a Google Doc and post the link to the doc with a warning?

Ya know, you really don't have to report everything. by

There are... I'm gonna say literally millions of bad fanfics out there, and hundreds if not thousands more going up every day. It's a physical impossibility for us to do missions into them all. The PPC (organisation) can, of course, make an effort at it (though they fail miserably); for us it's completely meaningless.
We're here to have fun. If one of the myriad stories that is potential PPC fodder is inappropriate for some reason, just... don't report it. :) Remember, 'bad enough [for a mission]' doesn't actually require it to be the most brain-breakingly squicky thing you can find; TOS never delved into NSFW territory (at least not while Acacia was around), and a lot of the best missions out there are the ones into seemingly-bland stories that just have so many maddening twists away from sanity and logic that the missions come out hilarious. (Conversely, I think Clbr__n was one of my worst missions, because Dafydd and Connie basically devolved into yelling 'argh, that's so wrong!' at everything.)

Just because the name of a fic is inappropriate doesn't mean the fic is squicky. Some people's every other word is an F-bomb or similar. (That's exaggeration, but still.) I have proof of this (aka my "wait, how the heck did we become friends, again?!" friends). What if there's a fic called "Mary Sue's ****in' Awesome Adventure" or something like that?
