Thank you for drawing my attention to those; I hadn't come across them before (except on the consoles of various agents at the begining of their missions), obviously need to spend a little bit more time clicking through the wiki.
I actually quite like the idea of doing the occasional report myself. Might have to add a DoI staffer to my list of potential agents.
Alright, so the the story I shall ask a question about is called Naruto Veangance Revelaitons. It is awful, horrible, perhaps the worst fic I have ever read. It is the My Immortal of the Naruto fandom. It star Ronan Beelzub as he moves to Konoha, blurts out long author tracts disguised as dialogue and has sex with every female in the series. Yes, every single one.This goes on for 69 chapters, so you at least have to give him credit for perseverance.
But, like the light at them end of the extremely disturbing and badly spelled tunnel, chapter 70 comes.In it, his step brother, Benji, who the author has whined about constantly actually writes an extended ending in which the Stu is killed and the world is set back to rights by a Stu hunter called Edfred and the canon characters.
My question: What should be done to this fic? Because I really want to either MST or spork it, but it was kind of already sporked in the actual story. Or should the last chapter not count as part of the actual fic?
but it sounds like Benji did the job for us.
I haven't read it myself, and don't plan to, so maybe someone who has would be better qualified to decide.
...this has great comic potential. After suffering through the entire badfic, the agents get ready to assassinate the Sue when the freelancer comes along and carries out the hit.
Cue one of the agents saying something along the lines of: "We came here for nothing!"
If you wanted to take that idea slightly further, you could then have the assassins confronting the Department of Intelligence agent that assigned the fic to them.
"7. One thing to remember when sending in a report: 'Do not meddle in the affairs of assassins, for they are heavily armed and quick to anger. And not noticeably subtle.' Send your reports in when you have at least a few plotholes between yourself and any agents intended to receive your missive with mission specs. No matter what the rule is, people DO enjoy shooting the messenger. Or sporking them."

I'd be inclined to go with that or not at all, personally - stealing someone else's kill isn't something we'd do to another PPCer, there's no reason to do it to someone else. (It's not like there's a badfic shortage on, or anything.)
