n. I will not give copies of "Twilight" or any of its sequels to vampire characters in more 'gritty' settings.
- n.a. Especially not Alucard, in the "Hellsing" manga or OVA.
- n.b. Even more especially if I include a map.
- n.c. And a conveniently placed portal.
- n.d. And a handwritten note, detailing exactly how to bypass the cast's fortune telling earl warning system.
- n.e. And another SR-71 Blackbird.
- n.f.In fact, I'm not allowed to open/enter portals to "Helling" in general.
n+1. No matter what continuum I claim to be from, a black cloak and Guy Fawkes mask is never acceptable formal-wear.
n+2. The "Forget-me-stick" is not an acceptable replacement for my neuralizer.
n+3. I am not allowed to kill off RPG warrior Stus by dropping them off in "Tucker's Kobolds"
n+4. I am no longer allowed to requisition/fire/obtain/touch the following weapons without express written permission of at least three more senior PPC agents: void grenade, harkannon, minigun, sack full of adamantium power doorknobs, dobie-o-matic, wave motion gun.
I really don't think it would be even remotely difficult to get that permission, given sensibilities and sanity levels.
I hope nothing happens to the Cullens in the near future, that would be. . . unfortunate.
Actualy, I got the idea for that one from a fanfic I found on ff.net. It was short, but showed remarkable aptitude in conveying a moving and viable point. Also, it was completely in character. :)
I shall not spend days thinking of a proper speech so I can feel just as epic as Barid starting the foodfight.
I shall not under any circumstances start a foodfight, speech or not.
I shall not under any circumstances /promote/ a foodfight
I shall not under any circumstances point my CAD at Bella Swan to see what interesting smells it gives out when it explodes.
I shall not point out to our minority group of Twilighters that Bella Swan's initials are... well, you know.
I will not in any way mention the C-word during normal Board discussions, for fear of resurrecting potentially scarring memories. *too late*
*I will not hide in the background and hum main characters' theme songs during important scenes in which they appear.
-Nor will I quietly sing songs from musicals during the scenes in which they would appear in the non-musical adaptations of the same continuum.
*I will not portal into video games and attempt to beat the main characters' high scores at mini-games.
*I will not portal Agent Luxury and a demon from All-world into the same room to see who would "win."
-I will not cause other agents brain damage by making them think about what "winning" would entail in this situation.
-Or making them think about the situation at all.
*I will not portal to the Haunted Mansion for the express purpose of getting a Hitchhiking Ghost to follow me home.
1131: I will not yell "double rainbow" when I see a portal.
-the same goes for monolith travel.
1132: I will not attempt to distract the SO with a flashlight.
1133: I will not refer to the late Makes-Things as "that one Q guy".
1131: I will not refer to interns as 'furniture.'
-- Or 'decoys.'
-- Or 'test subjects,' unless said interns work in DoSAT or DMSE&R.
1132: I will not tell any of the AI agents to open the pod bay doors.
-- I will also not ask them for cake.
1133: I will not ask people if they are on Team Jacob or Team Edward.
1134: I will remember that I am not Deadpool, and so cannot break the fourth wall.
1135: I will not use my CAD to crush spiders.
1136: I will not set up a tent by the Fountain of Bleepka and claim that I am on a camping trip.
1137: I will not blame everything on Luxury.
-- Unless it actually is her fault.
1134: I will remember that I am not Deadpool, and so cannot break the fourth wall.
Actually, PPC Agents break the fourth wall every time they talk about Suethors or badfic authors. And I think many of the are aware of being fictional characters themselves. (Every agent recruited in a badfic should, and many others too.)
Ironically, I think it's unusually difficult for PPC characters to break the fourth wall.
In the PPC verse, all of fiction is real. Being a fictional character doesn't mean you can't be a sentient citizen of the multiverse. So acknowledging that the PPC verse itself might have one or more authors isn't breaking the fourth wall at all. Breaking the fourth wall is very difficult with metafiction in which authors exist in-universe.
I think you'd actually have to write a mission in which the author of the story got involved. (Has anyone done that yet? I think someone in DoSAT has had an author ex machina rescue at least once, but I can't remember the mission now.)
I remember that there was a mission where the badfic author appeared to help the agents, but an author-ex-machina, if used well, should be good.
That reminds me of that Looney Tunes cartoon where Daffy Duck and the cartoon author have a fight. I'd imagine an author-ex-machina could go something like that.
