Whatever you think is best for the story, or most in-character for your agents, or--and this ought to trump all--funniest. There aren't hard-and-fast rules for these things.

Out of curiosity, when did you get Permission? I'm just asking because I don't remember, which probably means either someone else granted it and I forgot or I granted it and I forgot. ^_^;

Space-time distortions, certainly, but possibly also social disruptions. You can always go with the tried and true "mucking with the timeline." Or you can just make something up. Charge sheets aren't set in stone.

"changing your name all the time"?

Are you saying that this isn't the only time that Chliever changed his/her username? Correct me if I'm wrong.

That, and I wonder why he/she changed his/her username in the first place... Does that have something to do with his/her leaving a while back or what?

I don't think there's a Head Archivist, per se--it's possible that this role is filled by the Marquis, since I don't really know what one would do other than occasionally check to make sure the others are doing their jobs. But there are a few known archivist agents. I should know; agent!me is one of them.

It could very well be all of the above, depending on the day, who's awake, and what they had for breakfast. >.>

Personally, though, I was always of the mind that fics go from Intel to the appropriate Head of Department to the agents. Maybe the Flowers have psychic access to the computer systems, so they can just let whatever automated process (no doubt designed by Legal) is in place go if they feel like it, or intervene and say "Nope, this one's going here."

Or. Something. I dunno. It could be one of those things that's better left unexplained, like the cactus.

There's been mentions of a Sorting Room where Intelligence agents send fics down the line, which fits with your initial suggestion about the database, and I'd assume the Spies who work out of RCs and such check over fics and send them individually.

And here I thought it was because they were envious of his hat. You learn something new everyday. :P
