Permission request
Reply
After spending many days and weeks intensively studying the PPC, I'm driven to attempt my first permission request. Here is the first fic I want to spork – riddled with technical errors, boring content, a stupid premise, bad characterization, and more image upload abuse than you can shake a stick at, with many of the images being other people's fanarts. It helps that the author themself admitted to being unable to describe and keep up with canon characterization – and much thanks to my beta Midnight.

I think I'm comfortable now saying Permission denied for the moment - but only for the moment! Ki no Shirayuki, take a month or two, think about what's been said in this thread, and try to think about what you've enjoyed when reading PPC missions! That's always a good foundation to work from when adding to a shared universe. Try writing a few scenes for the drawer just to get your hand in, see what works and what gets old really fast. Then ask again in a couple of months - we'll still be here, never fear. :)

Not stepping in myself, for the record, because I'm just as old and crotchety as you, and I'm biased in that I still think this request is premature regardless of content.

Unfortunately, on the basis of consistent Board activity, I have no idea who we'd nominate. {= (

Huh. Guess my honor classes weren't working me that hard until lately.
And I surprisingly don't have any homework, unless it's on a different site, which I'll check.I'll try and be more active posting-wise. I was planning on replying to the AC thread even though I only have NL.

Job hunts and getting really into Factorio can do that to people.
Note to self: Update the Board so that I can get an RSS feed of new posts or something, making it easier to keep track of.

And I don't particularly trust myself to give an unbiased opinion on this particular Permission request, which is why I haven't touched it. (That, and I moved back to the States on the 9th, so I've been busy getting settled back in.)

Yeah, I think you were one of the 8-post set, which is perfectly respectable, but I had to cut off somewhere. :)

And I totally get it. This is the first time this year that I've had the time/energy for... pretty much anything other than things I have to do, or reading.

Shikigami 式神, similar to familiars in Western folklore, are summons; Otsuru was summoned, the body she has is as the result of her incomplete transformation, and many shikigami in various media get named by their masters.

From my own studying of PPC writing and my own experience with treating badfics in general, I'd call the style of humor expressed in PPC stories boke-tsukkomi comedy (or roughly "wise guy-straight man"), a type of comedy that centers around a duo with one half who says/does stupid things (the boke) and the other half who humorously reacts by snarking, loudly correcting, or straight-up delivering slapstick (the tsukkomi). PPC stories are full of boke-tsukkomi interactions – whether it's the badfics' and/or Sues' being told off by agents, agents' telling off one another, or even the third-person narrator's telling off everything in the story – and this kind of dynamic provides characterization contrast, which is clearly common in PPC stories, so I try to write my agents and stories to reflect that (one with less controlled behavior and speech, and snark in the narration).

I will do my best to find time to look over it, but can't promise any sort of in-depth commentary/beta-ing. Email should be up there, probably.
