I always make a copy of the fic in a document so that I can highlight things and mark it up. It keeps me from losing the fic to deletion and it also helps me see what problems I need to address in a mission.
I found a badfic (well, not exactly bad, but so messed up that would be still a nice mission) in which the NCIS team run a summer camp for anime characters... but it disappeared before I could even finish to read it. Quite disappointed, it would have been a good way for Agent Sergio Turbo to get a photo with Jethro Gibbs, Sakura Kinomoto and Nanoha Takamachi simultaneously.
Not that I am out of work. After fixing the typos in "Don't Forget The Canon" I'm going to kill an orrible one in which Shaoran first get killed, then when Sakura revives him he gets Author-Wraith infected and rapes her. And all canonical couples involving characters that appear in this badfic get destroyed. Better buy some Bleepka before entering it.
I had this happen to me mid-mission once, I think the third one I worked on. I already had enough invested in it to want to finish the mission. I had to wing it without actual quotes from the fic-just the major charges.
After that happened, I started making a temporary copy of the fic in Google Docs before I start writing a mission. That makes it easier to write the mission, because I can flip between them easier without having to navigate all the chapters. When I finish completely, I delete it. I do keep checking the original for updates, deletions, or changes.
However, the one I am going to write a mission on next doesn't need it: it's short, with a rather simple plot, and so awful both in grammar and content that my agents will surely need a Sonic Screwdriver.

This fic would be worth a look:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6061292/1/CodeGeassDanceinthe_Dark
Summary: Amelia was normal girl, then her life change 4ever. She get Geass and face off against powerful rival and evil guy. And she also find love at same time. My first story ever, lol. Enjoy. R&R. Thank u! XD. Lelouch/OC, Schnozel/OC and other pars.
Warning: Has Lady Gaga in it. And she's the Emperor's daughter, with a Geass that allows her to open portals throughout space and time.
I do not even know what Code Geass actually is. However, it sounds like it needs termination.
And... What is it with all those Lady Gagas in fic? It needs further investigation, I think.
Yeah, something like that happened to me just two days ago. I was looking for a specific badfic (also not bad per se, but horrifically messed up), namely 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy', where the standard personality and behavior of members of the xenomorph race was so badly twisted it would have been hilarious, if didn't like xenos so much.
I mean, seriously, can you imagine a runner xenomorph (admittedly of below-average intelligence) chasing its tail like a kyoot lickle puppy, while making funny noises? That's not only stupid, but also totally unnecessary, given the length of said tail. And it just gets better and better.
Anyway, the point is, I was going to put this fic up on Unclaimed Badfic, but, just like yours, it's gone. Can't find it anywhere on the web.
If anyone does know where to find, post me, would ya? Thanks.
