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.
...and some of the more experienced boarders got there first anyway.
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.
Good job. Now type faster, newbie! *whip crack*

Yes Master/Mistress! (Can't spare the time to look up your userpage)
I will write faster! I will! I will!
Master Phobos and Mistress Neshomeh, Lord Huinesoron and Lady Kaitlyn, Baron Techno-Dann and Baroness Vixenmage....
Of course as the only non-PG on that list, Kaitlyn will probably start feeling left out. I'll have to make her a coronet or something.

Tell you what, is the Temple still up for rent? I will settle for goddesshood as my consolation prize.
I can be in within the week.
Um... it might be... under... repair? Yes, that's right... repair...

But it has to be ready by tonight, because I've just packed my toothbrush.
I've just received a rather irate message from an equally-irate fire lizard telling me that 'On no account will the Temple be disturbed, on penalty of smiting with me-with-a-sword'. It's, um, signed by Dafydd. And Constance. So, um, sorry?
-T. Ryan etc
They can bring it. I'm not scared of their fire geckos.
Well maybe we can have a small shrine or something... but it'll have to be tomorrow. Or maybe later than that. Um. I'm sure there's an RC you can sleep in...

I was just listing the (other) couples.
As a Knight of Mars, my official designation is Sir Phobos. I will thank you to remember that.
-Phobos, like a Sir.
I will try to remember that in the future; although whips do seem to induce amnesia in me, so I don't know how easy that'll be.
As you can see below, my wife has taken the whip away from me because she doesn't like fun. Yeah... she's against fun. Totally true. I heard it from a very reputable source, which I am not at liberty to discuss.
-Phobos
...Unlike your husband.
Is this true?
That should be The Betraying Betrayer Who Betrays.
-Sir Phobos, Knight of Mars, The Betraying Betrayer Who Betrays...with honors.
Though it's better than being a STOOPID EENGLISH KUNIGGIT.
...that's not you, Phobos. Right? RIGHT?!
No, that's not a picture of me. The artist had only heard stories of the things I've done and took some artistic license with the look.

"The artist had only heard stories of the things I've done and took some artistic license with the look."
That's what she said.
...
*hides from Phobos' whip*
Several points:
1) That is what she said.
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.

What in the world are we coming to these days?
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.
-Phobos
...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've always thought pizza made a good breakfast. That would make sense if it were to be a fruit.
-Phobos
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!
Elcalion, who really shouldnt join food-based discussions before 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.
You have challenged the very foundations of my concept of pizza! Although I have to say that given your heritage, you are probably better placed to make a judgement on True Pizza than I am.
I shall continue to enjoy my Fake!Pizza with all the extra toppings I can fit on it.
It's just a normal, regular pizza. Everyone's free to put whatever they want on it.
In fact, even here in Italy is hard to find a place that makes True Pizza TM.
Breda is not good eating.

*snatches whip* How many times to I have to tell you? No turning the newbies into slave labor! Bad Phobos!
I'll have to hide this MUCH better this time... maybe in a live furnace... *wanders off grumbling*

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.
