That it's gone, I mean. The reviewers, though, were they just random people, or were they mostly PPCers? 'Cause if it was a bunch of random people, that's awesome.
Wayback Machine, maybe?

Hey guys, long time no see :)
I was just wondering, does anyone have any explanation behind the weird post here on the PPC livejournal?
I haven't an actual clue, but I'm assuming it's a complaint from someone who had their fic PPC'd.
I think, anyway.
Nice to see you again! {= D
Regarding that post, there's been a troll going around posting reviews on stories that have been PPC'd, telling how we're all evil and stuff and linking back to us. Maybe this person was tipped off by the troll, though if so, they're the very first one to react like this.
We actually had someone else turn up wanting to join the Board as a result recently, so yeah. *g*
I think I'll reply. *puts on Customer Support Hat and rolls up sleeves*
So hey, do you think you'll be hanging around awhile?

It's from one of my missions. The one with the biker accountants. There is a message on my LJ that I just now found.
Mind if I reply there, too? Not right now, I'm sleepy and not seeing straight, but I would be interested to see if I can engage this person in a dialogue.

I would be grateful if you did. I'd probably end up saying something sarcastic that I'd be less proud of later, or just not saying anything to avoid that.

So far no response from metsfan101 in the PPC comm, alas.

I think I might, although I'll probably just lurk...
here in the background...
all creepy-like. :o)
...was the revenge fic. At least, I think it was. It was especially amusing because they got the descriptions of our agents stupidly wrong. I ended up giving them concrit on their fic. I think they might actually be following some of the advice... but they aren't de-suing the Sue or the Stu. Or the OTHER Stu. Of course, that's a biased opinion.
I remember someone mentioning that before, but I haven't seen it. Was there a link, or do you have one?
~Neshomeh
Unfortunately. The most interesting point was that everyone who reviewed rooted for the agents, and not for the vengeful Stus.

Besides, I wasn't too impressed with a couple of the responses some PPCers were leaving. At least one was just outright mean.
I keep archives of (most) of the fics I've missioned/plan to write missions on!

NSFW. Mostly for language. Enjoy!
(The reviews are archived at the end.)
The poor, wronged Sues are "sick," "evil," "malicious," and "demonic"? How is the reader supposed to feel any sympathy for them?
I like the fact that not only were they Sues, they had horribly incompetent opponents. If they were agents on a mission, they would at least have some way to wipe minds. Yet they just sit there, being scared of the Sues. The magic-elf/Human Torch/earthbender/Poison Ivy who had a legendary Pokémon as one of her first 3, and everyone who hates her dies horribly. Overkill-Sue much?
Anyway, I laughed so hard at this. Thanks for the laughs!

Are you sure it's not a parody? I particularly liked the 'Could I really do it? No! It went against everything I held dear! And then I did it anyway.'.
Madness. Sheer madness.

This is missing at least the last two, largely negative, reviews.
But I do remember the one pretty much told the author that she was a terrible person, in very impolite terms. >.
Turns out, all the reviews are there. I think the fic itself got deleted before the reviews.
>.> I probably should have checked that first.
Save for Miah, they were randoms. And it was only kind of awesome because at least one that I remember levied pretty bad personal insults against the author.
