Some questions and some potential Badfics by

1) I know the board is pretty much the main hub, but do any peeps here talk to each other on any instant messengers?
2) Does anyone have some time to shoot some ideas back and forth about character development and other things?
3) How many chapters, if a fic isn't a one-shot, should a fic have before it becoming a priority mission?
4) Is there a department for the Kingdom Hearts or Resident Evil fandoms where it's possible to tackle any badfics for them?
5) Who took my Monster from the fridge?
And some potential badfics I want to run by y'all before I put them in the Wiki:

- Gmail chat seems to be the most common method of PPCers IMing one another. Has the added benefit of google documents, which many of us find handy for betaing and what have you. Definitely recommended.
2. In theory yes, in practice no - I graduate in two months and have a lot of work to do before then.
3. Depends, as others have said, entirely on the context. Trojie's only telling half the story when she says she's sporked something under a thousand words - the shortest we've taken on was a mere 216 words. We got a 3500 word mission out of it. But it was the content of the badfic that made it worthwhile - human boy / velociraptor smut.
4. Floaters, Kingdom Hearts Division?

#2 I don't, sorry, but there's probably someone who will.
#3 As the others have said, length means nothing. Mission priority is usually determined by how much the Flowers want to torture us.
#4 Generally Departments are for content (Sues, slash, et cetera) while Divisions are for particular continumns, but if your agent(s) specialise in those fandoms, then you'll get those missions. -

3) sprokableness depends not on the number of chapters or the word count. Though, the longer a fic the more charges you are likely to find.
Personally, I'd like a fic to have a little bit of length at least 4-5 chapters or 5k words. But that's because I'd like to find possibilities of good plot in fic and 800 word thingies rarely have enough meat to them to be able to say: bad execution, but there is a good idea behind this. -

1) There's the PPC Lounge (check the Wiki for the link) as an official chatroom.
2) I'm afraid I don't right now cos of school, but I'm sure someone will ...
3) Number of chapters is not a deciding factor on whether a fic should be sporked - I've sporked fics of over thirty chapters, I've sporked one-shots. I've sporked things with less than a thousand words, on occasion. Length =/= sporkableness :)
4) I believe there is a Video Gaming Division in the Department of Mary Sues, and probably an equivalent in the Floaters if you have bad slash, bad het or crossovers in video-game continua.
5) Wasn't me.
