I’m setting these as goals for myself as a PPC writer
-Have at least one mission that TVtropes would consider “The doorstopper”
-See the potential in and recruit in an agent from actual badfic
-Take down a legendary badfic.
You don’t have to do all of these to be considered legendary, being round for a long enough most likely counts.
I have (technically) been a member of this community for two years and only have half a mission and an interlude or two done and put up. My goals as of now are to finish that mission if I have enough inspiration and/or write another mission, and maybe write another interlude. The only writing I've done this past year is some bits of poems and fanfic. I'm kind of seconding the "slow down," but don't despair! Writing things takes time.
You still don't have Permission yet--which is totally fine!--but I would set that as my goal, if I were you. We don't really have "legendary PPCers" around here--of course, some of our authors have written more and been around longer than others, definitely, but there's nothing wrong with keeping your PPC writing lowkey and "normal". We did, after all, stop doing Emergencies because of how over-the-top they were becoming. You don't need to write long missions to be good--heck, you don't even need to write missions at all! Infrastructure Departments deserve love too. Recruiting badfic characters is very common, (I've done it!) and I wouldn't advise taking down a Legendary badfic unless you can write a good mission for it.
I hope to see more of your writing!
--Ls has reached the average of three missions so far
Getting Permission is a good goal. Before that, I might suggest reading the Original Series, OFUM, and maybe one other OFU and at least 6 spin-offs/25 non-Legendary missions of your choice. Perhaps also actively participating in at least one Board and/or Discord group event such as a RP, game, live reading, and so forth.
Because writing missions requires getting Permission, getting Permission requires knowing the PPC, and knowing the PPC requires engaging with the PPC. {= )
