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* -

. Confetti cannons filled with glitter? Very Bad Idea.
- Confetti cannons filled with sugar? Also not a good idea.
- Confetti cannons filled with anything but confetti are not a good idea.
- Confetti cannons are, in fact, not a good idea whatever they contain.
###. Keep any and all characters from musical continua out of the Spellsinger verse, please. Thank you.
###. A celebrity's public persona, no matter how inaccurate or Suvian, is not a fictional character. So stop trying to assassinate Taylor Swift.
- Also, the Bad Slash agent attempting to exorcise any celebrities appearing in the gossip columns will be punished.
###. "My Immortal" is a better song than it is a fic. But still, blasting it regularly is unlikely to lead to anything good.

- MSTed fanfics to the contrary, Murdoc Niccals, despite being a cartoon character, does not have Malletspace, and I am not to encourage him to believe that he does.
-- In fact, it's a bad idea to encourage anyone to believe they have Malletspace, unless they're supposed to.
--- It's also a bad idea to encourage people to believe they can produce large objects from other people's orifices.
---- Especially if that involves putting said objects there beforehand.
- Characters who know of the PPC are not to have their memories of Molly Rath or Luxury erased. It's cruel to make anyone meet Molly or Lux for the first time more than once.
- I will not encourage people unfamiliar with the foodstuffs in question to consume Soylent Green, Mrs Lovett's pies, Popplers, or Slurm, without telling them what said foodstuffs are made of beforehand.

*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. -

1141. I will not switch out any vampire agent's Water for real blood, especially if they've sworn it off for whatever reason.
1142. Asking if Agents Mal of the DBS and Captain Mal of Firefly fame were fraternal twins separated at birth will not go over well.

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.) -
Fourth Wall by

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.) -
Oh, you're right. by

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.
