Yeah, July's OC got recruited, much to the real July's chagrin. Cant remember if she lost her mind though

Basically I'm thinking about going into one of my own stupid fanfics in order to save a Marty Stu and hire him. My question is, would the PPC send an agent into a fanfic that they have written? My agent is based off of me, but if not, then I can just change it.
I'm not certain, but I believe someone - July, maybe? - was ordered to PPC one of her own old fanfics and ended up recruiting. I'm not sure. I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea - after all, badfic is badfic, and it'd be a good lesson for the agent - but I imagine you'd want to wait until either your agent is sufficiently experienced to handle it or until they've done something for which the Flowers punish them.
But be careful - I don't think any PPC agents ever go into a fic for the sole purpose of saving an OC. Mary Sues and Marty Stus are often unsaveable - it's usually the bit characters we recruit. Your agents would probably have to go in and make the decision to recruit him while on the mission, not beforehand.
