Isn't this the kind of tone responsible for the PPC's poor lingering reputation from years gone by? Not necessarily the idea of sporking itself - it's kind of funny how something considered 'mean' back then would be barely a drop in the bucket compared to what's seen on social media like twitter and reddit these days - but the general feel of it? The sense of 'wow, a twenty-year-old writing fanfiction? how stupid. what a clown for writing a crossover. how dare there be oc's!' that i sometimes got from older, late 2000's spinoffs that made binge reading hard at times. Genuinely how did you even get access to this. There's no mission that can be made out of this. The post just seems to want folks to point and laugh at an in-work project, and I do not understand what joy one could possibly get out of that. This is what TV Tropes thinks we are.

Why did you link us some kind of unreadable in-progress writing? What would we have possibly been meant to do with this? The fic isn't done, it isn't published. There's nothing to criticize, let alone mission.

I don't care if some random person is twenty and refers to themselves as an "it" or comes up with weird Star Trek lore. If it's published, we can reasonably discuss it. Until then... leave well enough alone, for goodness' sake.

First of all, you're sharing a link to someone's in progress work - I doubt they gave you permission to put it out in the wild, and through Google Drive you're basically exposing their email address AND their work to anyone on the web. And we all know that out there in the web there are all kinds of trolls and malicious people. On top of that, I don't suppose the author would give you access willingly if you were upfront with what you were going to do with said access, considering you've defined them as "clown", so I have to ask this: how did you get access?

Second, stalking authors like that, before they even publish their work, is simply not what the PPC does. It is a very mean thing to do as this is a point in which constructive criticism can still be given with hopes that the author will be willing to listen. We only go after the worst of the worst, and many of us attempt to give constructive criticism first. I have dropped fics from my, let's say, target list several times in the past because the author was willing to discuss with me what I had found to be troublesome - a constructive discussion about writing is always a better thing to have than tossing your agents at a fic, because here we love writing, we love discussing about writing, and we love to see everyone improve - even those who wrote the worst things out there, if they're sincerely trying to improve!

And, for the truly irremedeable, well PPC missions are there not to police the fandom but to have some fun making a disguised, comedic form of criticism. If your mindset is to hunt bad writing like a vigilante to save the fandom... well, it's the wrong one. We mock the bad writing, not the person behind it. Calling authors names, like you did, is right out. We don't do that. Period.

That aside, I'm taking the chance to ask about something that left me confused in you other post. You said "note that this is a different alter using ares' account, he isnt around anymore" - care to elaborate what you mean by that? If you're a different person using Ares' account, you really should make your own instead - and I do hope he gave you the credentials willingly?
