The fun factor is part of why I think formula missions are "too easy"--how's it fun to be utterly predictable?

But yes, you are right about those kinds of fics.

It's much easier to find badfic in the pit than to find goodfic, and yet it's ignored solely because it doesn't have OCs listed.

Criticize grammar and you're bound to make mistakes yourself!

So if you guys need things done with the wiki, I could work on it. But I don't want to change anything fundamental without being told what's wanted, as I'm not senior enough to know what's best to change. :)

This is going to be a lot of work, but it'll be worth it.

(I have to dash off now, but I'll be back and able to help later today or tomorrow.)

But that's a good point - I'm going to try to find some of thsoe. Cheers!

I think that this would probably be DAVD territory, yes. The original DAVD dealt with torture/murder fics generally, but this kind of fic sounds right up their alley--you know, where the injuries are simply extreme and gory, or else minimized to the point that you've got canons who should be dead but are being forced to walk around and act pretty much normal.

My suggestion: Transfer an agent from Medical and have them go on field missions with the goal of keeping the canons alive. Think of them as something like the PPC's version of a paramedic. I can definitely see them carrying bleepphene injectors for the more painful cases.

Could you provide suggestions of some suitable badfics for this type of mission? Preferably in a continuum where it won't take much work to read (or watch) the source material as most of what I've been reading lately is unlikely to have this type of badfic based on it.

Modren, my potential Agent, would be very suitable for this sort of thing.

I'm gone, really, but talking to Sedri, and noting that those who suggest change should be definitive, I'd like to add a rider.

Write a non-Sue featuring your usual agents. Having to get to grips with a new pair of agents makes it difficult - half the reason TOS works is you knew the agents, knew their characters, and cared about them. I'm fairly sure half the reason most of you like our Bad Slash missions is they're a bit of a soap opera, and that's no bad thing. Put your usual slaying agents into a non-Sue, and see how they react. It'll be a lot more interesting than new and unknown agents.

I might try and make it at least two, actually, since I have a mass-exorcism scriptfic and I'd also like to do some real Bad Slash for the challenge.

Also, this is a fabulous idea. Maybe people should also work on changing outside perception of the group, if we can - on TvTropes, for example?

Agent Shinra's either in the PPC Nursery or doing missions as a Spy, so I'm usually on that nowadays (although I haven't posted anything for the woeful lack of anything amusing to post). Either that, or she's off chasing the Clover. Still.

Some things never change.

I've been sketching out ways to get my assasin agent away from killing for a while now, and moving her into Crossover and Bad Het missions is exactly the plan, so a challenge deadline is exactly what I need. (Maybe I'll borrow Agent Iza, who gets naueseous at the sight of blood, back from Trojie for a little while...)


I think we're going to have to keep a very close eye on the Unclaimed and Claimed Badfic pages for the next few weeks, though - they're liable to explode...

My partner and I are currently in the middle of a mission, but if we can get that one finished on time, then I've found JUST the fic for us to do next.... Muahahhahhahahaha *ehem*

Though it may send both our Agents in search of Bleepsinth.

Or, in other words "Oh god, my eyes! they burn like fresh habanero juice on my bangs, that in turn get into my eyes!" (which actually happened last spring... Yes, this fic is that bad. At least to us...)

I understand where Pads is coming from, and Pads being Pads, I respect her completely. However, just because she leaves, I am not going to drop the one story I have painstakingly been trying to scratch out without a complete fail, and rush-produce something before Halloween.

My plans do include stories that are not all Sue killing, but, heck, I might not even make it there. I might just become so full of failures I stop trying.

--feeling optimistic--

I'm in.
The longer deadline is definitely appreciated. :D

The one I'm working on isn't focused on Sues... unless cities can be Sues.

. . . like MsScribe on drama. There's a couple of notorious slashfics I've had my eye on for ages, and now would seem to be the perfect time to take 'em down.

Anyway, I doubt the Marquis de Sod would have given Suicide and Diocletian their weapons back right away, so a Bad Slash mission is entirely appropriate. :D

Incidentally, the next mission I'm doing is a non-Sue-slaying mission. Gorillaz fandom.

I am so in.

I know I'm still rather new, but I want to share how I have been feeling lately. The last several times that I have posted a story, I have considered myself extremely lucky to get two responses. It has been really discouraging, honestly. I have four stories that I still haven't posted, and I've been rather reluctant to post them. I'd rather have people ripping them to shreds, (so I can at least improve) than having them totally ignored. Whether it is true or not, I get to thinking that the reason they get no comments is that they don't meet PPC standards and no one wants to say so.

I have nine completed stories for Kelok and Unger, which number two interludes and seven missions. Six of those seven missions are bad slash. There are bad slash missions being written. I don't think I am the only one with a recent bad slash mission.

I have posted general board requests for Betas. I do very much appreciate the anonymous content comments I received, but I am sure that I had more than a couple of grammar errors, since grammar is my greatest challenge.

Please consider this as a second request for a serious grammar Beta. I know I need one.

Anyway, the probable whining is over, now. You can all go back to regularly scheduled programming.

I already have a non-killing Bad Slash exorcism mission in progress, but it's a Nine Inch Nails songfic which mutilates the song it uses, and my only pair of exorcists have both been established as knowing very little about and/or actively hating Nine Inch Nails. So, if anyone's got any Harry Potter Bad Slashers who would be able to point out the horrific mangling of NIN lyrics, I'd appreciate being able to borrow them. Pads was actually helping me with it ages ago, but she dropped out even before she stopped coming on the board and I haven't touched it since. I'll blow the dust off it for the challenge.

I've got an awful FMA x HP crossover sitting around that will do nicely. I hope this doesn't mean I can't finish the DMS mission I'm in the middle of first, though. >.>

~Neshomeh, who can totally finish two missions in two months. Probably.

I'm already writing a mission that involves the termination of an Author-Wraith before the infected canon rapes what was supposed to be his girlfriend (And isn't in the badfic, that smashes all the canon pairings). Still counts as "Sue killing"?

It is already being done, and I don't just mean with Xericka and Gremlin (although I am going to be doing a lot more with them in the future.) I'm currently writing a Bad Parody exorcism with Danny and Laura. It should be ready for beta-reading soon.

if I'm going to actually become an active PPCer, as in seeking Permission, but if I do I promise my initial mission will not involve Sue Slaying. In fact the one character I have in mind as a potential agent would flat out refuse to go on an assassination mission.

I think having at least one active agent who refuses to kill, or even go on killing missions, would go a long way in showing that the PPC is not just about the slaying of sues.

He's a Healer, possibly a bit on the overpowered side, that keeps wanting to be inserted into my stories. I thought sending him on some PPC missions would help take him down a peg or two :D

On that thought I think I'll check when I posted my introduction and see if it's been a month or not yet.

But as soon as I've finished polishing that DMS mission, I'm finding me some Bad Slash/Het to kill.

I hope I'll have some time for writin's with my crazy schedule. My poor neglected agents will finally have the cobwebs dusted off. XD

I will redouble my efforts to find a badslash fic worth sporking so that I can roll out my new agent. I may even write an interlude in one of the infastructure departments.
