Have there been any instances of agents in the PPC taking on fan works that weren't written? For example, comics (i.e. It's (Not) Your Fault) or fan films (i.e. Spider-Man Lotus).
One example that comes to mind is Iximaz, who sporked a comic by showing panels where fic excerpts often went for an Avatar: the Last Airbender comic I don't remember the name of.
An alternative route, funnily enough, can be seen in my last mission finished a month back. There, I just described the panels in narration because while the Atla comic was digitally published and could provide high-quality screenshots, the comic I sporked was a terrible one I made when I was ten, drawn on a sheet of paper with art quality so awful that using Ix's method wasn't an option for me. I had to take a photo of the paper and it just didn't come out all that well.
I've never seen one done to a fanfilm, though it definitely sounds like something that could reasonably fall under the PPC style, considering its inspiration from Mystery Science Theater and its movie-sporking tendencies. I know something similar was discussed on the Board with the possibility of sporking a Gacha Life 'fic,' though nothing came out of it.
Hope this helps!
Since everything is hard-coded into it, all you have to do is reverse-engineer the choices of background and character customization the author did. However, for comics in general I assume the "describe through narration" trick is the most suited, and to be fair since the Words would likely appear as a comic page we could also have PPC Agents being forced (for SEP field effectiveness or just "The Flowers will nag us if we don't") to constantly move out of frame to not affect the fancomic until the kill time comes, of course it being played for comedy.
Likewise, the Words for a fan animation or fan film would be the video feed - but it would likely be silent, forcing PPC Agents to track down the original video on their own devices and have to rewind and fast forward to take notes. Not good for their sanity, but good for our laughs.
Relatedly, I did the opposite once - I did a mission in comic form, though the fanfiction sporked was a regular text one. It was kind of a special for the 15th anniversary of me publishing stories online, as the mission is basically a remake of one I originally did in regular text format.
