Agent Ranger, too by Elcalion on 2010-03-27 03:21:00 UTC Reply

I guess - since noone's written for him since TOS.

What fandoms do you need - I have more agents than I'm ever probably going to write for, so you'd be welcome to borrow some if the fandoms fit.
I know some. by Neshomeh on 2010-03-27 02:46:00 UTC Reply

They're all in FicPsych, but:

Dr. Freedenberg
Head Nurse Suzine
Nurse Parwill
Nurse Immac
Nurse Nathonea Dewstan

Oh, and there's Alice the meara, too.

Failing that, I don't mind loaning my agents out occasionally, provided I get a look at their lines pre-posting. Maybe someone with agents in the requisite fandom(s) would let you borrow them?

Cool, will look it over. Another question ... by Laburnum on 2010-03-27 02:53:00 UTC Reply

How far would the agents have to push the canon characters before they couldn't help but notice the agents despite the SEP field? I ask because I thought of a scene in one fic I was thinking of sporking where the agents are hiding in a closet, hear the characters say a particularly stupid-sounding line, and fall out of the closet because they're laughing uncontrollably. I'm not sure whether the characters would notice this. I'm thinking they would, but I thought I'd better ask.

Good question. by Neshomeh on 2010-03-27 03:52:00 UTC Reply

I think it depends partly on how much the fic is warping the world, and of course on the Rule of Funny, but there are a few things that always work--touching them, for instance--and agents always seem to be able to get their attention when they actually want to. Being really loud right next to them for an extended period of time would probably do it.

One of the fics I was thinking of sporking is not actually as OOC as most of the stuff we see. The main charge is the horrible, horrible dialogue. (I posted some VERY NWS selections at this LJ if you're curious:
http://community.livejournal.com/badfic_quotes/986364.html) Don't know if that's enough to be sporkable, but I was thinking of claiming it until I realised my Bad Slashers would hate that fandom. I considered MSTing it instead, but I honestly can't think of anything I could say about the quoted lines which would make them any funnier than they already are. It's like "My Immortal", it speaks for itself.

When you say it depends on how much the fic is warping the world, are they more likely to be seen if the characters are more warped, or less so?
