Time to play "Who's in FicPsych?"! by

Reply
... Ugh, that is a godawful punctuation cluster at the end there. >.
So, I'm sorta kinda toying with a Blackout story set in FicPsych, and as such it would be useful to know who's there at the time. I'm mostly looking for canon characters, so if your agents or anyone you know of had dropped anyone off around then, let me know, and please point me at the mission where it happened. Otherwise, if you know of a canon who's being particularly mistreated in fanfic at the moment, let me know who they are and what their damage is, and that'll work just fine, too.
I'll also take agent suggestions. If you want to volunteer yours, let me know who they are, why they're there, and (optionally) which nurse they normally see.
I'm not guaranteeing I'll use every suggestion I get; it just depends on where the story goes. Still, the more I have to work with, the better, so don't hesitate to throw ideas at me. {= )
Thanks!

My characters were in FicPsych before my first story starts, you connected the Blackout and FicPsych, and I connected my characters to the Blackout. So I'm essentially starting with a Blackout interlude.

So, they're not going to be in FicPsych at all, then, or is it going to be another story set there during the Blackout? I'm a little confused by the connections. I apologize if I'm being dense—I'm in the home stretch of the "Blood Raining Night" mission (first draft; it's gonna need an overhaul and about 25% cut for length even before it goes to beta), and the writing bug is playing absolute havoc with my sleep and my ability to think about other things. >.

Confused, that is. By my own thought processes. Basically, what you did was open my mind to the idea that I don't need to stick with the scene that just doesn't work, I can start someplace totally different. So I played around with the Blackout, but then decided that I didn't want to interfere in anyone else's continuity. But now I was thinking of new possibilities, and I've decided to make my agent's backstory mission the actual first mission, rather than just the scary event in the past that I was having trouble hinting at. They will leave for this mission right before the Blackout, and come back as FicPsych is cleaning up from whatever-it-is. But you don't have to worry...it'll be part of my story and will only have to reference your interlude.
Bottom line, you made me brainstorm about stories, and some of the randomness that comes with brainstorming leaked onto the Board. -

But the backstory of one of my agents involves a stay in FicPsych due to an incredibly squicky badfic and a Suvian partner. Actully, said Suvian artner would be there too, undergoing severe Glitter reduction - or would that be Medical?
Then again, I've already written the beginning of the first mission, and I'd have to rewrite it if I included them in the Blackout. But come to think of it, I'm not particularly pleased with what I've written so far, so, yes, take them. I'll post bios when I have a chance. Also, they might have brought Data, but I'll see.
So, yeah, if you want them. -

Agent Agen_t of the DIC is having a long stint in Medical, and has mandatory sessions at FicPsych. Does that count?
If so, Agent is a former bit character SHIELD agent from an Avengers Suefic. Due to lack of description, ze has yet to choose a gender or an eye color, although ze wears colored contacts for the eyes. Ze was injured on a mission (ze's spending so long in Medical that I think ze's probably doing PT) and is unwillingly continuing zir sessions in FicPsych, where they discuss zir opinions and suchlike in order to help zir form a personality faster. Agent would prefer to do this on her own, and avoids FicPsych when possible...however, this time, it's not possible, so ze's probably in a perpetually bad mood.
Of course, it's quite possible I'm replying too late anyhow, but I thought I'd mention that Agen_t's there.
In terms of canon characters...well, Tony Stark tends to be in for a lot of badfic, unfortunately. You might also consider some of the Hunger Games characters--Finnick in particular seems to be a popular choice in fanfics, as are Peeta and Gale. And I'd say Sherlock and John from the BBC show, but they're also in my interlude :) You could have Bilbo and Smaug, though--the amount of badfic with them...ugh. The Master could also be in there; judging by some of the stuff on Quotev, he's not going unscathed.

It doesn't matter when the badfic is from as long as the mission takes place in the appropriate timeframe. Of course, if there isn't a mission at all yet, having characters from that particular fic is an issue.

Wash from Firefly by
on 2013-05-14 00:47:00 UTC
Reply
I'll make a note the mission's just before the blackout, it's probably going to be a really short one because the fic is a tiny gorram thing. Wash is there because he was in a fic where he was flying the skiff Mal shoots down in Firefly's pilot. He was put in a POW camp, raped in prison by Mal (who's undoubtedly a character replacement) and years later, when he's looking for work, he makes it three steps onto Serenity before Mal spots him and shoots him. The fic is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3405993/1/Come-Around
Also, an agent if it helps. Agent Cham of the DAVD is exposed to one of the most extreme departments and mission types out there, and to make it worse he's allergic to Bleep. It's established he doesn't go down to FicPsych terribly often, but this could be an exception. Here's his wiki page, with links to an appearance: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Cham
I've also got a mission in progress with him and Kalmer I just found in my gdocs, if it would help to see that. -

Some of it's also capitalizing on "when Twilight/some pony turns into an alicorn" fanfic ideas from before the Season 3 finale, and most of those are really stupid. Between the fixfic and the misguided "I knew it" fic, she's probably under a lot of stress.
I might end up missioning one of those fics that claims Twilight was created by her teacher, Princess Celestia, like some kind of machine to be her successor, just because it's such a ridiculous idea. The Season Three finale's probably going to cause a lot of instances of that fic type to update with new chapters saying that Twilight's wings are the result of her maturing into an alicorn, or something of the sort.
I'm not sure about what would be happening to Q, though. -

Quoth the mission:
" “This ‘fic is, for the lack of a better word, horrendous,” [des] said. Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. “First of all and least important, grammar. It is full of run-ons and abuse of periods and ellipses.” Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. “Second... well, saying that the whole Nanoha-verse is replaced is an understatement. I estimate ninety percent replacements, including... including...” his voice broke down. He took a gulp of tea and changed the subject. “There might be a few possessed canons, especially from the Halo-verse, but I might think that because I know jack squat about it.” Taptaptaptap. Taptaptaptap. “Third, last, and most horrid...” his voice dropped to a whisper, and he grabbed his axe. There was an anomaly of sorts around the axe’s head - it looked like it was moving in a different speed than it should be - and little sparks were jumping around the blade. “Trivialisation. Of. Of. Mass murder.” He got up and put both of his hands on the table. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to face a mass murderer Sue.”
Tera made an odd coughing noise. “Not just one. Almost every Nanoha canon, save for Carim Gracia, Ixpellia, and Schach Noeura, is replaced. Ginga is working for Jail, Agito has abandoned Signum, and pretty much everyone associated with the TSAB is Always Chaotic Evil. Fate - she tortures Schach. In front of Vivio.” "
Basically:
1) Various bad grammar charges.
2) Massive replacement of characters. Just about every character with more than a line is replaced, and the rest are OOC.
2.1) One of the most OP, violent, hypocritical and plain idiotic Replacement!Sues I've even seen.
3) Trivialised mass murder and disgusting cruelty and violence.
There are other charges as well, but the last two are what makes that fic truly horrible. -

I'd imagine there would be some crazy agents and former staff that just can't be reached or keep relapsing, and so would need to be kept in the Department indefinitely. Do the Psychs have a designated ward for that kind of case? Maybe just some specialized rooms in the basement?

There is indeed a relatively small in-patient section. Ideally, I imagine the nurses prefer to get people stable enough to send home rather than keep them penned up forever, because that is both inhumane and a drain on their resources, but with the kind of crazy you get in the PPC, sometimes letting them go is just not possible. They don't keep them in a basement, though.
HQ does have basements and sub-basements—the DAVD is located in one, the Phantom of the Opera Division was/is in another, and I think one account has the pool deep beneath all other basements, reachable only by an absurdly long flight of stairs.
