It might be badfic, but the sections on FF.net are there for organizational purposes. A fic being in the wrong spot doesn't mean that fic is now fic for the canon that section is for, or that it would affect that canon.
Okay, I'm slowly working on possible ideas for my agents, and I was wondering about a few things.
My idea was to have an agent who had been saved from a (non-existent) +Anima badfic. He would have been a bit character, who was supposed to be completely destroyed by a Sue, to show how incredibly strong the Sue was.
I was thinking that he could have been saved by Agents by having them swap him out with some inanimate object, however, I can't think how the Agents would manage to do so without the Sue noticing.
So I was wondering, does anyone have any ideas to help me out?
In the few missions I did, I found that sometimes the Canon is desperate enough to rid itself of Sues that it will alter some things to make it easier for the Agents, such as opening a plothole that a certain character slipped into a few chapters before and dumping them back in the story. Literary convenience, you know. I would imagine this would only occur in heavily strained Canons though, such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pokémon, etc.
I wouldn't say that +Anima has as many badfics, due to being a lot less popular than many Canons, however...
People who aren't paying attention when they upload stories on FanFiction will often post them to +Anima by accident. The people who aren't paying attention are often the ones who aren't the best at writing, to put it nicely.
I think, being flooded with badfics that aren't in the right section could very well put a lot of strain on the Canon, because of being full of things from other Canons.
But I'm wondering now, would that be enough to set off the Canon?

I remember having great fun sending Narto and Lou up against, uh, Avalon, I think (can't access GDocs right now, so I can't check), which was an original fic someone had decided they just had to post on FF.net... in the Silmarillion section.
Of course, there's a difference between deliberately doing something wrong and an honest mistake, so this is a thoroughly irrelevant post. But! I found relevance:
It all depends on what's funny. :P I can see 'posted in the wrong section' as a good excuse to send an agent team unprepared into the wrong fandom - or to give someone a really messed up backstory ('I'm from Narnia... you know, the one east of Mordor...'). But it's not something that one should default to worrying about, since July's right - FF.n administration != multiversal physics.

I love that series. While it doesn't have a lot of fics, there are some bad ones. I remember one Harry Potter crossover that gives them elemental powers--I should toss that on the Unclaimed List, now that I think of it...
The canon being flooded COULD do the trick, actually. But that would also probably make the agent-to-be and the agents who were already there warp into one of those misplaced fics. Which could be pretty funny.

Though it tends to gain sentience and the simulations get mad about being killed.
Sounds like quite an interesting thing to use. If When I get permission, I might try writing the story of it eventually. It might be fun, hehe.
