Many of them a lot more foolish or embarrassing than not being sure what to post. The good thing is that all posts eventually get shoved off the main page and very few people ever bother to go through the backlog. :)
Because I just found this incredibly bad crossover on fanfiction, so you can bet that I am not in a good mood right now.

Not only does this crossover have no plot whatsoever, it also has a crack pairing that appeared out of nowhere. Any chance that the crossover department can take care of this monstrosity?
Oh, certainly. Kill it all you want. In the face.
Actually, I was going to join the Mary Sue department, so I thought I would give this fanfic to a member of the crossover department. Are you, by any chance, a member of said department?
No. I haven't even made a Permission request yet. However, I do love "Sweeney Todd" and hate Twilight, so I repeat that you should kill it in the face.
Well, I want to join the Mary Sue department next month, so I can't kill it. However, I do want someone to handle this thing. Do you plan on asking for permission? If you do, will it be the crossover department? If so, I'd love for you to kill this stupid thing.
Um, I have no idea. I might ask for Teh Permishunz, but I seriously don't know if I actually will, me being insanely disorganized, and other stuff. Aagh, glick, bleh. The Maudlin needs to get her whatchamacallits sorted out.
... we've got anyone active in Crossovers right now. Hmm... just checked the Wiki, and there might be a few, but not many. Not many written ones, anyway. Of course, there's always the Floaters (or as the other departments like to call them, the Department of No-one Else Wants It).

Is there any chance that someone could delete this entire post? I was a little nervous about what I was going to post, so I ended up deciding that I would give fanfics to other users until I can go on my own PPC missions. I was going to post about my Watchmen OCs, but I wasn't sure if the board really cared about a fanfic a user was working on.

Okay, thank you. I feel much better now.
We don't mind people suggesting 'fics for people to kill. Nor do we mind people talking about their own fanfics. Of late some people on-Board have seemed a little strict, but we're not actually like that. So go on, have fun.
(That said, if you want to talk about your OCs, you might want to stick it onto this thread rather than making a new one -- I mentioned strictness, and recently quite a few people have gotten tetchy about multiple threads by the same person on the front page, especially if it's two in a row. Just heading that one off before it starts)
As for me, I've never really worked in Crossovers, and I'm not all that familiar with Todd anyway, so I can't help. Also my mission-writing skills haven't so much atrophied as been abducted by epicplotians from the planet WhydoIwritesomuch. Sad but true.

Sorry, I already posted before you put that note, but I won't do it again, I promise. Not exactly making a good impression on my first day, am I?
Don't worry, it is a pretty unrelated thread. But it'd be good to try and avoid a third one. We've had people post two threads and then make a third to apologise, which is a biiiit much. Of course, we've also had people who think "mary sue" is a good screen-name on the PPC Board, so that's not saying much...

Okay, thank you. I am avoiding a third one.
I'm not thinking straight. I'm pulling a 24-hour right now, so you can't expect me to be very focused.
I thought you wanted to work in DMS?
I do, but I don't see a reason why I can't give another user a bad fanfic.
I think it's waaaay too early. The one-month rule can be bent, but you still have to prove us that you know enough about the PPC community.
We can put this fic aside for you, though: there is no shortage of badfic for us to spork. And of course you can write your mission immediately, though you still have to wait for permission before posting it anywhere.
No, I wasn't requesting to do it myself, I was giving it to another user.
