I have to say that this would be a horrendously awful story to PPC. It is a canon raping abomination, yet it is very well written (other than this weird inability to know when to double a consonant), and has a fairly tight, compelling plot.
Yes.
I am insane.
Yes, I just spent hours reading the entire thing.
Anyway, like I said the offenses to canon are huge, but they are consistent. The things that have been altered have been explored to their logical, if still canon defiling, ends. I'm not saying this is goodfic. The canon changes are too far for me to think of it as a good AU, and there is a definite Sue in later chapters.
You know this story is still being written, right?
The Sue has not yet had time to come completely into her own, so that would complicate charging her. There are a few places where the author's inability to properly double or not double consonants in the 'ing' forms of words would be good for a few laughs, but this is a loooooooong fic. Those places are too far apart to make writing a mission easy.
Basically, there are three options that I can see.
1. Go in and kill it in the first couple of awful chapters and ignore the next 50+ and the Sue
2. Wait to see if the Sue's presence breaks the continuity the story had built up (she is threatening to)
3. Admit that not all fics that don't line up with canon are good candidates for missions.
