There are mainly two kind of fics PPC-wise.

Those with which you can have fun, and those who just don't work (with you. Maybe others will be able to make a good mission out of it, since everybody has his own mission style).

For example, I tend to be picky when searching for a sporkable fic. Why?

Because not all the fics go well with my mission-writing style.

I just finished an extensive research in Card Captor Sakura, and I ended up choosing an hurt/comfort one. Not actually from grammar and writing (in fact, technical charges are completely absent) but because the plot was flimsy at best (Syaoran being blind for no reason at all, for example, and three Generic Rapists with no brain whatsoever. Oh, and let's not forget Healing Sex.)

I had to pass several other fics because all of them didn't suit for my writing at all:

- One was seventeen chapters long. It would have took me too much time to read all of it, and I tend to pace better missions in short ones.
- One was too squicky. You will not get summary or links from me, I'm still shivering. Despite the fact that I want that... that... thing deader than dead, I'm not going to prod it with a mile-long pole.
- Others were probably trolls, and too short for even a MST. Besides that, no fun potential.
- The last one is on my kill-list, but there aren't enough chapters yet to write a good mission. I have to wait a while.

So, if you don't feel like sporking it anymore, just give it up and search something different. Reember, it's not a job - we're here to have fun.

Well, there are multiple problems in my case, but SP&G isn't it.

The sheer length is one of the biggest concerns as the author-inserted char- I mean, Lucie, last of the "angeli" (none of whom exist in Middle-Earth)goes throughout the ENTIRE course of the LOTR canon (minus Sam and Frodo post-Falls of Raos.).

Componding it, to be perfectly honest, when we peel back the canon, the "supporting" canons, the fictional and downright heretical history and "specul powerz" of Lucie, what do you have? Merely a sappy love story between Lucie and Aragorn. And don't think Arwen would merely abide by this if she was her canonical self, oh no.

In fact, I quote:

"Strider? Oh you mean Aragorn? He went to get ready for the council; my brother has trouble been presentable".

"Aragorn? I never knew that was his name, your brother?"

"Yes, he is Aragorn son of Arathorn, Isildur's heir. And yes he is my brother by adoption even though he is an absolute pain".


Urgh, and finally, I honestly seem to be having a hard time trying to be humerous within the context of the sporking. I mean, the occasional agent pratfall or misteleportation definately occurs, but I think my attempt at humor is sorely lacking.

I dunno whether I should continue with the original wiped off the face of the Word world (even though I acknowledge said deletion and Deletion occurs towards the end) or lay it to rest and start anew.
