*gives a pack of stickers* Since everyone else gave out the good stuff. *sticks one on the face of the newb.*
On "The Road to Redemption"-is there a link?

~Neshomeh, reviving an old tradition.

Hiya! Welcome to the PPC! *gives you bleeprin* You'll be needing it...

I gift you with an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs, but author wraiths and spambots! Use it for good and not evil.

Welcome to the insanity!

As the Official Bumper Sticker Giver, it's my (oft-neglected, unfortunately) responsibility to give you a PPC bumper sticker.

*gives Red a PPC bumper sticker*

Welcome to the board!

Concerning question one, we've actually been trying to get back towards the original spirit of the PPC - less epicly bad fic, more run-of-the-mill stuff. I think your story qualifies.

As for two, there's a couple techniques - could you subvert it by converting it into a goodfic? Could you write it as parody? Could you write it, burn it to a CD (or a floppy, if it's small enough), and then burn the disk?

Welcome to the insanity!

Well, what qualifies? Let's see...
1) Canon characters acting so OOC that you don't even recgonize them.
2) Overly perfect Original Character who lands a Canon character.
3) UnCanonical places and realms. (Sparklymuffinland does not exist in Middle-earth, thank you very much.)
4) Lack of a plot line.
5) Melodrama. Oodles of melodrama. (And that fic you've mentioned does sound pretty bad...)
6) Loads of technical errors.

Badfic plot bunnies? I write them down for the desk drawer. Or computer file somewhere far, far away. Then, after a few years/months/weeks/days, I go back and laugh at the fic. Maybe even MST it. But that's how I handle plot bunnies. *grin*

Well, once again, welcome to the PPC! Now, because you got tackled by a bunch of mini-Dragons and mini-Balrogs, you might want to either see Cassie or the Medical Department for some burn salves. *evil laugh*

A link to the fic would be useful so that someone can take a gander at it ... but rape as a plot device is Bad. We does not like, precious, no.

Here, have some introductory lembas to munch while everyone rallies round :)

*shrugs* You could always use it to distract a Sued Big Boss or something.

Anywho, nice to see a new face around (mostly because it means I'm not the freshest newbie anymore, haha!) and I hope you'll stick around long enough to be spinning-off with the best of them.

Also: Rape as Drama... nah. It shouldn't be used as an excuse to cry.

First, welcome. Can't forget my manners. :P

Second, loads of people beta each other's missions here. There's a link on the PPC Wiki, which is at ppc.wikia.com . The beta page is at http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/PPCBetaReader_Directory - all of these people beta, me among them.

The fic you mentiones sounds pretty bad - OOC is always a charge, and rape as a plot device? No.

What I tend to do for badfic plotbunnies is write them, then store them deep in the recesses of my computer so no-one knows they're there. As a result, I've written a lot more than I let on. :P

BTW, will your Agents be based in a TARDIS or a Response Center?

Here is an egg for you. I have no clue what's in it.

*hands you a large egg*

^_^ I like new people, and knowing that other people are just as confused as I am if not more. =D Also, fellow ex-lurkers are fun.

Like Sedri said, it looks like Artic got your questions pretty well. So... I'll leave you with an excited glomp and a fairly standard query: what fandoms besides Heroes are you familiar with?

Be warned that if any games from the Tales series are on the list, you will probably be subject to more glompings by me.

Artic seems to have answered most of your questions. I was about to give you the wiki links, but July is indeed dangerous, so I'll settle for saying hello, echoing the Artic's comments about Permission asking, and add that any reasonably bad fic can be PPCd, even if we usually go for the worst of them. If it's dramatically out of character - ESPECIALLY if it involves rape as a plot device - you can do it. Once you have Permission. Go for it!

And welcome!

- Sedri

Welcomeness! It's fun to delurk.
Firstly, in order to write in the PPC Universe, you need to gain Permission. You do that by hanging around the Board (This place) for about a month, getting to know people and letting us get to know you.
As for the PPC Canon, the Wiki will help. I'll leave July to do that, otherwise I may get a spork in the hand.

The quality of a badfic is really up to the PPCer themself. You do need a list of charges, but that generally changes from story to story.
And getting rid of plot bunnies, write the plot bunny, giggle, and then squirrel it away whee no-one can see it.
