Greetings, Agents and Authors, from the Department of Intelligence. I am the Sub Rosa, and I would like to take a minute or two of your time.

As you know, my Department is tasked with investigating bad fanfiction and determining whether it requires the PPC's attention. You Agents may think you are overworked, but believe me, without us you wouldn't even have time to
breathe between missions.

You may remember that Agent Architeuthis was kind enough to post some of her intelligence reports on the HQ network for all to read, and that they made their way from there onto the internet. Now that we have time to breathe again, we are interested in taking this idea and running with it. To that end, we have co-opted a section of your "PPC Wiki" to use as a portal for our reports.


Department of Intelligence Reports

We hope that these reports will, in combination with the List of Unclaimed Badfic, make it easier and simpler for you Authors to choose missions for your Agents, and for you Agents to understand what you're getting into.

I wish you all the best of luck in not getting killed.

~The Sub Rosa, Head, Department of Intelligence


(What the Sub Rosa didn't say is that this isn't a closed area. If you're feeling bored, and don't feel up to a full mission, why not write up a quick report? You can create an Agent specifically for the DoI, or let one of your Agents do a bit of transfer work, or if you have an Agent who wants to retire, you could transfer them into Intelligence. Hopefully these reports will be useful, as well as entertaining. They don't need to be announced on the Board, or cleared with anyone [although I think I'll have to say that you need Permission to write them, since they are actual PPC stories], and as I've tried to get across on the page in question, they don't preclude a mission being written for that story -- in fact, they're meant to help the mission-writer, or at least the mission-selecter.

And, of course, they're meant to be fun! So write them if you want to, don't if you don't... it's up to you.
