But I'm planning on taking on both Sues (because I have an extremely bloodthirsty agent), and Bad Slash (as that's something of a personal pet hate for my agents). As they're in the DoF, this should (hopefully) work out.
Okay, I was chatting to a few PPCers, and one of them made a comment which got me wondering... what misions does everyone take on? I don't mean Agents, I mean Boarders. For example, I was told there have only ever been five people who write for Bad Slash, and I was wondering if there was anyone else who did it. So... help out a curious li'l ol' PPCer?
I write for DMSE&R and DMS. :]
But they've only done Mary Sue's so far. I'm thinking of transferring them.
Only finished one mission as of yet, but I'll take on anything except for RW 'fic. And I'm a bit squeamish about Bad Slash, but I'll do it.
And the odd "Generically Bad".
On the missions front, I've done DOGA and DoWTF officially, with some of the DOGA missions being DMS stuff in disguise. I guess the co-mission with Neshomeh and Kippur was DMS mostly, too. I've also done the DIO, and about half of a Bad Slash mission which was supposed to be a lead in to Crashing Down. That kind of didn't work out, but I'll probably finish it someday. Oh, and I've done an Intelligence report with Agent Kyaris.
On the other writing front, I have Agents in just about every major Department, to the extent that I can't even remember who most of them are. But not many of them have actual missions written for them, so.

It'll probably mostly be 'Sues, assuming I get around to finishing any of these, but I'd like to take a look at Bad Slash and crossovers, too.
...I've done three Mary Sues and a bad AU. I'm currently planning to go into crossovers, though, and I'll probably do Bad Slash at some point.
I, uh, kind of haven't written anything yet (stupid GCSEs sucking away all my free time) but once I get my act together/the Christmas holiday starts, I'll be starting my first mission. Probably. >
Specifically the Sub-Division of Video Gaming. By the way, since Lunac, Arti and Liadan hold the main office, does the other Boarders who have claims on specific video games get their own little router, or would it be Arti, Lunac and Liadan saying 'That needs to go to them."?
The DMS has lots of Divisions, like LOTR, Harry Potter and Video Games. Anyone who takes on Video Games would naturally cover only those games for which they know the canon, but they'd receive their missions just like anyone else. Just because your Agents are the first known of Video Games Division doesn't mean they have to make decisions about all Video Game fics, if you see what I mean.
And if I recall correctly, just as a note to anybody who might read this, the DMS has a Floaters Division, which means they take on any fandom they're competent with.
So, I guess either that Department would send the missions to Agents, or I think there's sometimes an implication that it's the Flowers.
Intelligence looks up the missions and sends them to the Agents that fit the bill for tackling it. That's what leads to some of the mix-ups sometimes, like Slash Agents getting Sues (when said Slashers aren't rigging the console to steal missions). Sometimes the Flowers do take a hand (or leaf) in assigning missions, generally the majorly awful ones like in the case of That Series, but I don't think they make a regular thing of it.
I do Bad Slash, obviously. Although we do get a fair few replacement!Stus. And I've done one mission that technically should have gone to the DMS. Currently in the process of setting up the Division of MPreg.
As a sub-deparment of the DMS I mainly take on Sues. I've also tackled a few smaller missions in (reasonable) goodfic where a character was just holding on to the wrong equipment or held it incorrectly.
In total I've done one slash mission and have added a second to my backlist. That one does involve a Gary Stu, so I'm not sure how much it would count as a slash mission.
That's why I'm thinking of joining the Floaters when I get permission, so I can do missions for any sort of badfic.
I've done one FicPsych story, one DIC story, and three 'Sues. Two of the 'Sues were explained as being misdirected because of Nume's transfer, but still. The other one was a co-mission with hS (representing DOGA) and Kippur (representing Implausibility or something like that).
I'm planning more FicPsych and DIC stuff, and also some deliberate DMS stuff with a new agent pair.
Not that I wouldn't take bad slash if it came up in the course of things. I've got Subjugation on my list, for heaven's sake. O.o
... I've just revealed my depressingly low rate of mission production. Does it help that I've done a bunch of other PPC-related writing? ^_^;
~Neshomeh
also have sporked bad het and Sues.
Only five? Really? o.O That seems ridiculously small for the amount of bad slash out there.
I have DMS agents. x.X But since almost nobody seems to know my favorite fandoms, and there is an intolerable abundance of bad slash, I may have to help at some point.
Not that I've written much, but I'm mostly interested in Sue-slaying. Slash squicks me, though I did co-write a mission with Trojie. Is that what you're after?
We were discussing the DBS, yes, but it'll also be interesting to see who, if anyone, writes for the other departments. 'Cause there are quite a few of them, but pretty much everyone seems to be in Sues. Except hS, of course, who can be let off as he actually created half of HQ, from the looks of things.
