If you're just reading invasion stuff... need I explain why this is concerning to me at this point? Lemme skip that and get straight to my recommendations for missions to read that should give you a real idea of the PPC:

* Jay and Acacia - Duh. If you haven't finished the Original Series yet, make it a priority!

* Caitlin and Sidh - This is just a one-off, but I think it introduces the PPC really well, has excellent characterization, and is overall high quality writing. I wish they'd written more.

* Architeuthis - The original Department of Intelligence series. Her definition of a Mary Sue is out of date now, but this is still an important foundational series.

* Nenya and Rosie - The Jay and Acacia Kooky Spin-Off Nerd Society. Of particular inspiration to me is the FicPsych chapter.

* Mara and Isaiah - The Department of Technical Errors. Excellent and foundational. Araeph is a real-life editor, so you can't go wrong taking cues from her.

* Trojanhorse and Paddlebrains - Department of Bad Slash. Absolutely hilarious. Takes an under-appreciated department and owns it in a way few others have managed before or since.

* Dafydd and Selene (and Constance) - Department of Geographical Aberrations. This is how you start if you want to work your way up to tackling Legendary Badfics and big, sweeping plots.

* Suicide, Diocletian, and Ithalond - Tungsten Monk is quite simply one of the funniest people I know. Also, she's a real-life published author now.

I could go on at length with this (and include some more recent writers), but those are, in my opinion, some of the most historically important spin-offs as well as the best-written. If you read nothing else, you could do a lot worse and no better than reading those.

P.S. I'm obviously rather partial to my own work, too. Supernumerary even had a real fangirl for a while. (She got better. ^_~ )

-n sense.

We're just doing it in the older threads, rather than making new ones. You might want to try joining in some of the conversations yourself, if you see something that interests you - this is a community, after all, not just a place to ask questions.

When the DIA is arresting a PPC agent, that's basically two (or more) canon characters interacting in their regular world.

When fighting invasive Sues, even though the Sues are invading another world, they're not doing so through a fanfiction story. Hence, there aren't crimes against the PPC setting, just the more mundane crime of attacking, and therefore no charges to officially read.
