I'm mostly finding information on the Despatch page. http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Despatch

It looks like all Inserts that look like Self-Inserts are treated as real people and either taken or referred to legal for further action.

It looks like the Fern wouldn't be the judge of a full trial, more likely just reviewing the evidence after his staff interviews the accused, (if he gets involved at all.)

Basically I want to write the legal consultation as the recruitment, since it would make a more interesting story than her going out-of-character and telling her partner. (Her partner's story is boring.)

Even if it stays behind-the-black, PPC would have a file on the author's real self-insert/avatar as proof that the recruit is a fictional-insert.

I read intelligence's page, indicating that fics are sorted and then the iffy ones are checked by spies before being forwarded to departments. Is there a department, person, or flower that decides whose console it goes to and when?

Or is it like the internet? Basically the mission report goes to all consoles, and the one tied to a suitable team "claims" it.

Is there a such thing as missions being shoved backward in the queue because the most suitable agent is wounded, so their partner gets a temp and missions that they could handle? Is there even a database that is aware of such things?

Is there someone who can be bribed, either to keep a particular intel-report in the shuffle for a bit longer, or to put something through as a mission before checking to see if it's really a badfic?

Do floaters make copies of their mission reports for the departments that would have normally handled it if they had the staff?

Or is contacting other departments only for when something goes so wrong that they need a little help?

How are modern AU's handled? Basically taking someone from a medieval or fantastical story and portraying them as always living in our world, half the time they end up in High School. Like the setting of Equestria Girls.

Is there one department that happens to handle them more often than not? Should there be a department devoted to handling those?

Is there a procedure for songfic, or are those usually just meh?

I'm thinking of having the AV department foisting material onto one of my agents or both in the team.

Would this be at all normal, or considered selective interference possibly arranged by a Flower? (Basically expanding the knowledge base of an agent pair whose known cannons are not that prolific.)

I think I've seen agents volunteering to learn new canons. Perhaps there is a recommendation list?

That's exactly what disguises are for. SEP Field works wonders with canon characters - unless the Agents do something big to attract their attention it's like they aren't even there to canons - but Sues would see them right away in the situation you described.

However, the Sue usually wouldn't mind if they have a disguise that would reasonably be there - like Generic Students in a classroom.
