We don't actually expect people to stop writing when we do missions to their work. Most of you probably know this, but between the talk of multi-part missions and going back to spork later chapters, I thought a reminder wouldn't hurt. We are not actual fandom police. People are still allowed to write their stories, whether we spork them or not. {= P

~Neshomeh, trying to head off misconceptions that lead to ugliness when they occur.

P.S. As one of the parties involved, I don't recommend the "Subjugation" approach. It was too big and there were too many people involved. It really failed pretty hard, and Tungsten and I STILL haven't gotten around to taking revenge yet. Just... don't bite off more than you can chew, is what I'm saying here.

Granted, the fic itself has decent prose but it just keeps going and going and bloody going and even though Eledhwen and Christianne killed her way back at the pool which was like thirty chapters back from where the story is now, she just keeps racking up charges.
So I intend on writing a follow-up mission to deal with the new things (and to watch Eledhwen foam at the mouth now that I know she can).

Generally my rule of thumb is to kill the Sue at the first major break in Canon, which in this case was the pool in GAME where the Sue got kidnapped instead of John. But others do it differently, I'm sure.

I think that you have to kill a Sue when there are enough charges. Usually that means waiting until the end of a fic, but in really long fics there might be enough charges a few chapters in. Takes Specs's example of My Immortal. It's a Legendary Badfic, so there might be enough charges in the first chapter alone.
Of course, for the sake of story, agents should stay in a fic long enough to go crazy or partially crazy.

And here's a lackluster answer: yes.

Hee, nah, I wouldn't do that.

I've read a number of two-part missions before, and I know of at least one mission that had to be split into numerous parts due to the writer of the badfic continuing to update post-sporkage.

Although if it's REALLY long, you could always seek help from other agents, and split the badfic up by giving certain chapters to each team of agents. I'm fairly certain the same thing was attempted with 'S*bj*g*t**n' (title censored due to its status as a Legendary Badfic that scared its would-be sporkers away).

Two words: MY. IMMORTAL.

And as far as I know, a lot of sues do end up getting brutally slaughtered before the end.

But, that saga thing does seem intriguing...

You wouldn't catch me writing it, but still.
