Back on the 3rd of April 2009 I meant to join the Board because of the fic Raider's Descent but real life intervened and I forgot to join and report it. The problem is that I think that I may have been the only person to see it as it isn't on The list of Claimed Badfic, Unclaimed Badfic, Killed badfic or the Complete List of PPC Fiction( though I could have missed it).

For those lucky people who haven't read Raider's Descent I present to you its Summary, a link to it, a description about its sue by its creator and a link to my horrified review about it.

Summary: What would happen if Buffy & Spike's kid came to Hogwarts? What if Lara Croft raised her? What happens when she’s sorted into Slytherin? Will she convince her fellow snakes to think for themselves? Or will they devour her from beneath?

My (AbscondingCascade) horrified review about it: http://www.tthfanfic.org/Reviews-18876/

Now please tell me that Amanda Summers Croft is dead not alive twisting Buffy, Harry Potter and Tomb Raider canon together into a horrible mess. As if she lives then I deserve to be put alone in a room with a possessed Sky Silvestry ...

Um... I love reading these stories but I cannot re-find (is that a word) the complete list of stories. I was wondering if any of you wonderful people could provide a link? Please?

Although, thanks to the Narrative Laws of Comedy, I'll probably find it as soon has I post this. *Sigh*

One disadvantage to the Complete List... by kgarrett on 2009-07-09 00:13:00 UTC Reply

Is that it's not actually entirely "complete", though. There's a fair few things that've yet to get on there. Still a lot of stuff, though.

I was just saying it doesn't have everything. Sorry.

And while I'm thinking about it, would you please change the occupants of RC #1110 to Derik and Earwig? Agent Neshomeh has long since transferred to the Department of Personnel to be an Archivist.

~Neshomeh, who may or may not be the same person as Agent Neshomeh, depending on the day and her mood.

Well... by Neshomeh on 2009-07-08 19:43:00 UTC Reply

There's the Complete List of PPC Fiction and then there's the Killed Badfic page on our Wiki. Between the two, you should have just about everything that ever was or will be. {= )

People take missions they find interesting, not just because they're on the Unclaimed Badfic list on the wiki.

Also, can you stop subtly ordering people around and telling people- mainly Neshomeh- they don't get it? You're being bossy, rude, and quite unfriendly and you're the one not getting it by brushing off requests to stop with the footnotes* and not being especially apologetic for the huge spoiler you tossed onto the board for little reason.

The PPC's goal is to protect the plot continuum from Sues and bad fanfic.

Our goal?

It's to enjoy the community here, enjoy good writing. It's not to rev up the PPC mission writing every time someone goes "OH NOES. THAR IS A BADFIC. WHATEVAR SHALL WE DO? HALP. KEEL EET.

So as a newbie, I suggest you get into the community spirit part of here instead of the "THIS NEEDS TO BE DEAD RIGHT NOW" spirit.

*Pratchett and humorous references** nonwithstanding, if you cannot integrate a footnote into the main body of text, it doesn't belong there at all. Also, notice how annoying it was to scroll**** down here to see what the frog this little footnote was for.

**Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries***.

***There are no elderberries in Antarctica, so if he's in Antarctica the fact of smelling like an elderberry is most peculiar.

****You're all welcome to shoot me now.

(PS? I'm not trying to be mean, just pointing out things.)

Sorry, I'm really stupid. by raw_fo_tra_eht on 2009-07-09 22:54:00 UTC Reply

I panicked ... also "subtly ordering people around" ... okay looking at the definition of subtle on http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/subtle I'm never subtle. I either club things on the head or I leave it alone I would never subtly order anyone around as A) it be wrong and B) I'm as subtle as a 6 mile asteroid if I say something it doesn't have hidden meaning ... But if I appear to be trying to order people around I apologise that's not my intention.
"You're being bossy, rude, and quite unfriendly"not my intention but then I can list the number of friends I Have on one hand. I can accidental insult people in ten different ways with just one word, I'm socially stunted with dozens of psychological issues. Needless to say I either don't say anything or mess up royally when I do.
Footnotes. A way to put in so much info into one point without babbling like an Idiot ... but then I babble in said footnotes and put too many. I'm trying to stop using them but sometimes it's too hard to not use them.
"and not being especially apologetic for the huge spoiler you tossed onto the board for little reason." I'm sorry about that I truly am, when I originally apologised I was half asleep because my cat had decided that I should keep him company (I had to either let him in and have him walk on my face or lock him out and have him meow in his highly annoying whine which is impossible to sleep through). So my apology was probably not up to it so I truly am sorry about the spoilers it was an act of a complete stupidity. I will not do it again.
-Response to Comments on PPC goal(I would quote you but quite frankly I'm too tired to as I type too slowly and have spent half an hour (possiply an hour) typing this so I'm Sorry but I'm not quoting)- Got it, I'll Kill my "THIS NEEDS TO BE DEAD RIGHT NOW" spirit right now ... thats ... sorry my accidental Oxymoron/Hypocritical statement hurt my brain. I adapt my PPC spirit to the right spirit.
So as a newbie who has made dozens of mistakes, Accept this link to the writings of the fanfic author hotpoint http://www.tthfanfic.org/AuthorStories-7284/Hotpoint.htm who I consider the premier BTVS (buffy) and stargate fanfic writer. Hopefully the link makes up for my stupidity but if it doesn't then hopefully the humour of this Doctor who crossover with the BTVS universe will http://www.tthfanfic.org/Series-1465.
But you may have already read all of these fics as they so ... hmmm ... here a link to a rather enlightening BBC documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dfWzp7rYR4 :).
If none of these make a good apology feel free to rick roll me (that's still popular isn't it?). And you weren't mean JulyFlame, you said what was necessary. Now if you'll excuse me Question Time is on.

Ah, you can still keep the ... by IndeMaat on 2009-07-10 09:04:00 UTC Reply

... "This needs to be dead right now" spirit. Save it for your own agents, so they can do the dirty work.

Not all the badfic ever written is going to make it to the unclaimed list. I don't think that most mission even go into fic that has been on the unclaimed list. Like July said, most people find their own badfic

If only I knew Buffyverse. by Neshomeh on 2009-07-09 17:45:00 UTC Reply

But I don't. So I put it on the Unclaimed Badfic list. It's now sixth-down in Crossovers.

~Neshomeh, who used to write like that, with all the annoying parentheses, when she was in junior high and high school. Blargh. Ick.
