Is it alright for someone to claim a badfic if they don't have permission yet? If so, I call dibs on the following:

"The Adventures of Garfield and Rapunzel" - K rated
A pretty Siamese cat sneaks into Garfield's house to steal food. When he catches her at it, she convinces him to accompany her on her quest to right the injustices of the world.

"First Encounter" - T rated but kind of NSFW/NSFB
Hogwarts has contracted a disease called loneliness and the giant squid as the only cure. Hogwartsgiant squid

I think so by Gone Rampant on 2012-02-24 18:37:00 UTC Reply

I think that as long as people are known, they can put a small claim on something for future reference.

Unfortunately, "First Encounter" has already been sporked by Bryn and Maslab (who really need to get around to putting it on the killed fic list...it has been two years now). You can read the mission here

Other than that, it is fine to claim a fic before you have permission. Just try not to go overboard with it. It takes a lot of work to write a mission, and even the most ancient of us don't get around to sporking all the fics we would like to.

Silly Phobos, that link spams my email ;-;

This is the non-spamtastic link here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W9vfceG0_6z8GGZWipL3RnbYc53Kqs20j5NsWwzGPdw/edit?authkey=CMz-1lc

(And while the attention is appreciated, I don't need half a dozen odd emails of "So-and-so wants to see your stuff!")

I found it on this page. Current Events

Yeah...kinda out of the way. No one in their right mind would have found it.
