Subject: One more belated thought on Discord and mission writing.

I just thought of something else: The #badfic channel of the Discord. I don't know about how people with Permission who use the Discord see it, but I could definitely see how it could be detrimental to writing missions in the long run. I know that if I had Permission, I would try to actively avoid missioning things I had previously thrown into the Discord; after all, a good chunk of people would have already seen what makes the fic bad, so it would be a bunch of extra work writing things just to get some character interactions down onto a page (not that there's anything wrong with that, it just puts the "sporking badfic" aspect of PPC writing far in the background).

I don't really have any suggestions for dealing with this potential problem, if it even is a problem. I just thought it was worth mentioning.
