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.

Questions concerning agents. by

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? -

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.

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. -
