A Department Question by

Maybe someone can answer this question for me...
Does Femslash have its own department? (Like a Department of Bad Femslash) Or does it fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Bad Slash?
Just curious, is all. -

I'm not completely familiar with the inner workings of the Slashy side of the PPC, having concentrated most of my reading so far on the Dept. of Mary Sues, but I would think that, if it were given a specific category, it would be a Division within the Department of Bad Slash. After all, there are already Divisions within DBS that deal with Yiff and Bad Het, and I don't think it would be considered large enough to warrant its own Department.
Having said that, the definition of Slash given on the wiki page of that name is 'romance and/or sex between two characters of the same gender', so while Femslash could be considered a more niche subset, I would say that it already fell in the jurisdiction of normal DBS agents.
Probably best for someone with a little more knowledge/experience to confirm or deny that though. -

Your answer was correct and backed up by evidence from the wiki, as well as by logic. There is no reason to shortchange yourself because you are less experienced. This is the kind of thing we like to see from newbies.

Several points:

2) I love dirty jokes.
3) Neshomeh confiscated the whip and won't let me have it back.
4) Trying to find someone, for the purpose of using a whip on them, is work. I don't do work.

Actors with titles are a sign of the End Times. Others include sparkly vampires, people not knowing that the sinking of the Titanic actually happened, and pizza being classified as a vegetable.

...that pizza is more of a fruit than a vegetable. This isn't based on any kind of scientific reasoning, but the fact that if it does indeed turn out to be true, then it makes my claim of pizza being a suitable pudding slightly more legitimate. Whether or not *that* is a sign of the End Times, I leave up to you.

I think we should make it official; pizza is most definitely a kind of fruit, and is therefore suitable for all our breakfast and pudding based needs!
Also, as a fruit, I believe that it would also make for a good snack, cos, you know... it's fruit, so it's got to be healthy, right? -

With sausage is clearly an acceptable breakfast food.
Because you have your bread which is toasted-ish, and it has cheese on it, and sausage, and some tomato sauce to keep it all together.
Sausage on toasted breda with melted cheese and tomato sauce is totally a breakfast food. -

Now that I think of it, virtually every breakfast food works as a pizza topping (I'm talking cooked breakfast here; even I would think twice about putting Froot Loops on pizza): ham, bacon, sausage, egg, mushroom, tomato, and hash brown. Dammit, now I want pizza for breakfast!

While I do agree with your statement, the way you've worded it sort of implies that you can get pizza... without sausage. How does that work? Surely it doesn't count as pizza if it doesn't have sausage and at least half a dozen other meats on it.
I must try this toasted breda that you speak of, and see how tasty it is. -

As the Board's resident Italian, I have the responsability to correct this misconcept.
True Pizza has exactly five ingredients in the topping:
- Tomato sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Oregano
- A couple of basil leaves
- Olive oil
I am not against putting other stuff on it (I often add wurstel and fried potatoes on it), but please do not refer at those as True Pizza. -

Bad Slash takes Femslash. It is, after all, still slash.
In comparison, it is like how the Department of Mary Sues also tackle Marty Stus.
What might confuse you is that DBS has the Division of Bad Het, though that can be argued as making sense since DBS is really more the 'bad sex department', it's just named after the primary thing it takes care of due to how much is handled, which is bad slash. -

I have an agent that works mostly on femslash missions. It is under the jurisdiction of the DBS. If you want agents to specialize in it, a new division of the DBS might be the way to go.
