I would like to claim the Rose Potter series for the destruction and death of the titular character.

From what I read, Rose Potter is being sporked already.

There is a mass PPCing of it going down apparently. by

I don't really know how it's going though.

It looks like people stopped working on it a few years ago. by

The search bar also brings up that Cassie planned on taking it down using her Potterverse-native Agent back in 2012(though I'm not sure how that fits, since he works in the DIC and Rose Potter doesn't cross over with anything), but there's been no progress on that either. I suspect that the fic is cursed. Or it's just really long and stupid and people are finding a hard time putting up with it long enough to complete a mission. That second one strikes me as a little more likely, but you never know. Legendary Badfics may have gained a portion of their legend through supernatural properties. It certainly makes more sense than anything Rose Potter does.

You've been here for only four days now. This is the first time you've brought up PPC business at all, aside from that section a few threads down when you revealed that you plan to open a hole in HQ to the Halo universe that no one would keep an eye on for some reason, and now you're intending to claim a Legendary Badfic? Slow down. Those things are nasty enough as it is, and normally are only dealt with by writers who have proven themselves capable of sporking a few less-horrendous fics first, and regardless, I don't know if you're in the correct place right now to claim anything. I mean, it's not unheard of for someone to encounter a personally hateful abomination from a badfic thread here and say "Oooh, no. Nobody else take this, please. Once I get Permission, this sucker's mine!", but posting a claim on a Legendary Badfic less than a week after you introduce yourself is like a newbie showing up and then, the day after their debut, posting his or her Permission Request in the same thread that they introduced themselves in.
Postscript: What is with this thread title? At first I'd thought it was referring to one of the Rose Potter stories, but nope, they're all named after the British editions of the original books. -
Hey, be nice to the newbie! by

It's not like they get all the PPC protocols beamed into their heads the first time they come to the Board. :)
The ability to identify a very bad fic, and the desire to spork it, are after all some of the things that'll make a good PPC writer in time.
The reason for waiting is to give newbies time to read the original series and any other PPC stories that spark their interest, hang round the board and chat, possibly help beta some things, talk about writing, and generally get to know things before they start writing things in the PPC verse.
There are far worse descriptions for a newbie than "over-enthusiastic"! -
