You seriously think people don't think about Bad Slash? Umm... Wow. No, we do. It was probably the second department I was exposed to, and DBS missions were some of the first ones I read. There was a problem with the wiki where it was difficult to get to your missions for a while, though, and I had to track them down--I think that might've been part of the problem with people's lack of knowledge about DBS.

Notice how old most of the DMS missions are, compared to the more general Floaters missions? When I went through categorizing stuff, I realized the PPC has been moving away from outright Sue-killing for a while, so that at least three-quarters of new missions don't emphasize killing the Sue and about a third don't involve killing a Sue at all. Newer missions tend to focus on the odd-coupleness of the agents, the insanity of the fic, and the odd situations they get themselves into.

Yes, TOS needs a beta compared to what we're turning out now. But remember that Shakespeare's plots would be considered cliched and unoriginal today... because he started those ideas. TOS is something you read because it's what started everything. It's part of PPC history.
