Sounds like a job for them.
I once did an MST of a bad quiz. Sort of like a CYOA MST. Fun thing to do.

Badfic reportings, SAH! All of these are on Quizilla, so those poor agents who volunteer to kill them may have some trouble clicking around trying to find the chapters in the right order.

The first one has a picture of a cool sword at the beginning. In the last, a bunch of Random Orcs eat one of the OCs before she even manages a part. (Kill! Kill! Maim! Hate! Murder, mangle, mutilate! Goooo... Random Orcs!) Those are the only good things about these fics. -

That's a lot of Quizilla badfic. Gollum is very much not goblinlike, thank you very much. If I remember correctly, goblins are another type of Orc, and as we all know, Gollum was a corrupted proto-hobbit. And the 'middel earth madness' one was just annoying. Seriously, it looks like it was run through this http://ssshotaru.homestead.com/files/aolertranslator.html before it was published. I wonder why Suethors find it so hard to learn basic grammar skills. Honestly. This stuff is taught in elementary, it's a wonder they weren't held back for years...

Has Quizilla become a new Suvian repository? All of them reek of Sueishness. They make my first Original Characters look like Penny Baker. *snerk*
And CYOA PPC missions sound awesome! -

A couple things:
A) Quizilla has been a repository for some time. The Pit of Shrews, I believe.
B) You can post stories, not just quizzes, on Quizilla, so they might not be Bad Quizzes, just normal ol' badfic.
C) There is a department of Bad Quizzes, although an Agent of mine had a Bad Quiz as her final exam of training.

I wonder if the Quizilla format will have any adverse effect on the mission? Hmm.
How long did it take you to find all of these? o.O Wow. You're determined. -

Is it better or worse to know that it didn't take me very long at all?

Well, at least I know another source for Symphonia badfic. >.> Not that that's a blessing, but at least some of the most rabid fangirls haven't discovered the Pit yet. I shudder to think of the repercussions.

They must be PPCed in a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure format, to compliment the original. (J/K, of course)

Not a mission, and I still need to get it formatted to show the Board, but yeah, did it for something last year.
I'll do that later today. -

"middel earth" Madness is in quiz format, but the rest are pretty standard Suefic.

On a more practical note, what format would work best for a PPC CYOA? Two agents, both third-person? One third-person agent and a second-person agent? -
My thoughts... by

Would be one agent first person and another agent third or second person. The point is that the reader is the actual agent. This would be a massive undertaking.
I would personaly start off the adventure with a recrutment of the main character (they can always ignor the summons, but that would be a very short story) and have them just thrown into the middle of a mission with no training, much more entertaining.
Hope this helps!
