Official Permission Request by Miah on 2010-02-23 06:57:00 UTC Reply

I Boarder!Miah, do hereby officially request permission to hunt down and kill badfic, in as humorous a way as is possible as an agent of the PPC.

I solemnly swear that I am not crossing anything as I solemnly swear that I will do my best to uphold the traditions of Jay and Acacia, to continue to be funny during missions without causing major disruptions in the life of the PPC, to hold all that is canon, including the canon of the PPC and OFUM, as the highest authority in its own land, and that I do know what the acronym PPC means.

The link below goes to Boarder!Miah's Livejournal, which contains 5 writing samples, and 2 agent bios with pictures. The top 3 stories are all chapter length. The bottom 2 are shorter.

A few nit-picks first - needs a beta-read! Mostly punctuation issues :) And your stories are cool, but I found it a little hard to get into them at first because the narrative just sort of plunges in without any lead-in or intro.

Agent Cali's superpowers ... they're comical, but as you point out, totally useless. I'd suggest trying to work them in in a way that makes them juuuuust this side of useful - i.e., they can be used but they backfire, rather than just being impossible. He sounds like a LOT of fun though, with the talkative neat freak thing going on. Quite a nice contrast from Miah, who seems like a more typical PPC agent.

So I'm going to say Permission granted. Do you have a first target picked out? I realise I probably won't know the fandom, but can I give it a beta before you publish it?

I'd love to have you as a beta! by Miah on 2010-02-23 19:57:00 UTC Reply

Thank you, for permission.

I know I have punctuation and grammar issues. I keep trying, and it keeps slipping through my fingers.

I have one that I am aiming at with Bryn in Pokemon, but I'm going to pick an NCIS to work on, too.

I probably should have either put in a lead in summary to those stories or picked something that isn't from the middle of a longer story. In fact, I'm going to go label those better right now.

Maybe Cali can overcome being scared of enclosed spaces so he can actually get some use out of his night vision. I was afraid to give him stuff that really worked. I didn't want him to be over the top with stuff. I do have a plan for him to try using his whip at some point, and catch Agent Miah instead of the Sue.

Congrats on getting permission.

In case you start working on an NCIS story, could you state your claim here, so we don't end up both writing about the same badfic? It's perhaps a good idea to always state a claim for a fic that is in a fandom other boarders are active in too.

Like everything, it's a practice thing. The more you write (and read!) the better you get.

I reckon Cali and his superpowers have a lot of comic potential, particularly if, as you say below, most people think they're all in his head.

I look forward to seeing the first installment of Miah and Cali's adventures! My email is trojanhorseshadowfax AT gmail DOT com :D

So... Cali Still is a superhero with completely useless superpowers? Did I read that right? {X D

I think his powers do work, but are totally useless. Although, everyone is going to believe that they are completely in his head. He may even be convinced later that they are in his head, only to have one suddenly be a bit useful. :D I think he'll be a lot of fun to have around.

Thank you for the permission.
*snort* We keep crossing over! by The Trojanhorse on 2010-02-23 19:38:00 UTC Reply

Fortunately we haven't disagreed yet :P

Haha. by Neshomeh on 2010-02-23 20:02:00 UTC Reply

Yeah, that would be awkward. Um... I guess in the future we open a new tab/window and check before posting? ^_^;
