As we write metafiction as well, any rules we implement concerning metafiction should be applicable to us as well, unless the Continuum Protection Initiative itself gives us special license (and even that smacks of sue-dom, as it would have to be us writing the CPI...)

It would be interesting to have a team of agents bump into a "film crew" filming a badfic for MST purposes...

2, on the other hand, is easy to answer. Smite it! That's not creative metafiction, that's using it as a convenient excuse to self-insert sues and 'stus. Smite it with fire, and if any of the smiting agents happen to be fans of technical nit-picking, they might want to mention that Star Wars-verse ships are much more realistic than HALO-verse ones, in that they're rather fragile without their shields, and thus, "taking a beating" involves having one's shields pounded on, and losing shields really puts one all of one shot away from firey death.
