I PITY THE FOO' WHO MADE THIS TRASH! 'CAUSE IM'MA KILL 'IM!
Okay, with that out of the way...
Why do these authors keep writing this tripe? It's hard enough to believe these characters would have kids they never knew about, but letting them come along with them on missions where they could be killed, taken hostage, or god forbid both?

I debated whether Winners No Matter What should be classed as a Sue mission or a troll mission. There's five Sues, there's script format, there's not a trace of characterisation. Enjoy.
Those Sues were . . . bad. That's like, "Sisterhood"-level bad. I'm tempted to agree it was a trollfic, but I've met actual people who consider this good writing, so I'm still on the fence.
Overall, I really enjoyed the PPCing. Always a pleasure to see horrendous characters who screw with genuine badasses like the A-Team get what's coming to them. Mind if I offer a little bit of critique, though? I wouldn't mind seeing more of your agents' characterization; it seemed like things were whipping through at a fairly quick pace, and it'd be nice to expand on the scenario and their reactions to it a bit more. Just my two cents. :)
I started writing that mission a while ago and then stopped because I didn't think it was good enough. I thought badfic had eaten my funny. Or quite possibly my characters' personalities. It was their 34th mission in A-Team; they've seen it all (actually, they haven't seen five Sues that share a single personality.) I've noticed that their personalities come out way better in the first few missions in a new fandom. At least, that seemed to be the case when I first started writing SGA and later NCIS missions.
There's another A-Team mission that I've started, but am unlikely to finish. The agents' responses are just too bland.
