We, The Protectors of the Plot Continuum, do hereby, in the name of all free beings in this multiverse, solemnly publish and declare our intentions:
To fight and oppose the distortion of the worlds in this multiverse by any and all means at our disposal.
To oppose and rectify the distortion of any free being in this multiverse by any and all means at our disposal.
To bring about the destruction of any and all unnatural beings that exist in this and any other multiverse by any and all means at our disposal.
To maintain the boundaries between worlds in this multiverse and any other multiverse that exists by any and all means at our disposal.
To make all beings in this multiverse forever free of all unjustified torment, distortion, defilement, and death by any and all means at our disposal.
To these ends, we pledge our property, our honor, our sanity, and our lives. So mote it be.
A revised version of the PPC creed I came up with a few days ago, though now it is more of an oath than a creed. The first line to refer to stopping badfic in general. Line two is about fixing characters and bringing them back to normal for them. This includes badslash, bashing, and OOC. Line number three is the simple one, killing Sues. Line four refers to undoing and preventing bad crossovers. I will admit that I have a weakness for crossovers, but that does not stop me from seeing red when I find a bad one. Unfortunately for me, about 95% of all crossovers qualify as bad. Back to the point, line five is is more of less a catch basin for anything I forgot or did not cover in earlier lines. As with last time, feel free to add lines. -

Though something funny would be nice, too. It doesn't have to be the joke that Sedri suggested. It could be a line that says something along the lines of "To never take ourselves too seriously" (written in an extremely serious tone, of course, because I think irony is funny).

Lovely; and what's even better is that you can take constructive criticism. :D.

I quite like it. One suggestion, though: Given that the PPC is notoriously Not Serious, if I were you I'd put one last line at the very end there that comepletely contradicts all the Seriousness and makes readers laugh. Something like:
* ...carry out these tasks by any and all means at our disposal (provided we have a decent supply of Bleeprin and chocolate).
* ...So mote it be (unless we can fool the Flowers).
*... (now go away so we can sleep!)
I'm not great with this kind of one-line witty humour, but do you see what I mean? The above ideas probably aren't any good - we still want to make it a pledge, just a pledge in PPC-style rather than that of a bratty child. -

And it would be deadly serious... if they weren't in the habit of spelling out every punctuation mark!
The function of the DTE:
“Addendum colon said agent belonging to the Department of Technical Errors comma he shall kill or deal out unpleasant punishments specifically to the un-canon elements possessing an inappropriate number of grammatical comma orthographical comma linguistic comma logical and slash or historical mistakes full stop.” -
Yes, like that. :) (nm) by

You should have done this as a reply to your original post. Every new post pushes an old post off the front page, and an even older post off of the board entirely. So, if you have something that is closely related to a recent topic, you should post it there.
That aside, this is a much better creed. I think, however, that the repeated "by any and all means at our disposal" needs work. It only needs to be said once, probably at the beginning or the end.
