"Ooh look, I'm a prissy Mary Sue! I'm the daughter of Sauron! I'm a ranger! I'm so kewl!"

Another circle run, another potential mission.
(On that, about my permission...)
*storms away cursing the creators of the circle*
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9644715/1/Spartan-s-Sin-Atonement
Starring: the son of John-117! His name's Drake, but everyone calls him "Reaper" because whenever he goes on a mission, EVERYONE ELSE DIES :O and also he's also Spartan-555 and the "only known Spartan V in existence". Yeah. Also, SPaG errors all over the place.
Is there any specific protocol that needs to be followed before a badfic goes up on the wiki page, or should I go ahead and add those two MLP:FiM "troll"fics?
...is that if you post it on the Board and someone says it's not badfic, you don't add it to the wiki. Also, if someone claims it on the Board, they (or a proxy) should add it to the wiki on the Claimed Badfic page. So go ahead. Feel free to add notes, or at least mention that they're trollfics.
~DF
Just wondering, are you referring to the two I put up?
Nope. Completely different pair of horrible trollfics.
I'm reporting two badfics.
They're from the Creepypasta Wiki instead of the Circle or Pit, but they're badfics.
(surprised they haven't been sporked yet, but they're not on the wiki)
http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/SweetAppleMassacre
Sweet Apple Massacre, this one seems like a Character Replacement of Big Mac. Warning: NSFW and gory.
http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/TheCymbalDragon
The Cymbal Dragon, do we have some sort of inanimate-object-brought-to-life Sue here?!
...so nonplussed right now you have no idea.
Recently, thanks in part to PoorCynic's awesome writing workshop, I've been developing a new agent. She may soon make an appearance in a short mission, along with some older agents of mine, although that's still in the works. However, she likes Shakespeare and Gilbert & Sullivan...so I thought I'd go looking for badfics, since watching agents go crazy is kind of fun. Also, I wanted to see if there was anything out there.
Of course, the moment I started on the Shakespeare category of the Pit--and believe me, this is the first time I've ever felt like using that term--I spotted a fic called "ShakespearexLoki". It's rated T, and has the following summary:
What happens when Shakespeare and Loki are in the same room? ;) WARNING: for mature audiences only. May contain beastiality and sad ending may trigger self harm It is by Raveen.
I figured this would be odd, if not badficcy, and, well...I clicked.
And read.
And stared.
Long story short, it's a very odd trollfic. I don't think I ever want to understand this kind of troll; my brain would melt and then implode. The trollfic is all of two paragraphs, features Shakespeare the...monkey, I believe, and Loki, who, well...um.
Here, have a quote.
All of a sudden Loki bellowed, "I AM THE LOKI- full time grim reaper at hell, part time model, Brazilian Master Chef AND leader of the Rolftang Mafia!" I will bring down your kingdom with my dark sinister magic with a mixture of gum disease. If you do not kneel I will kill Shakespeare!" Loki abruptly stopped and glared at Shakespeare who squeaked, "What did I do?"
And another quote:
Shakespeare didn't kneel because he had swag.
I just. I can't.
Basically, Shakespeare's bride dresses up as Loki and kills Shakespeare. And I wish the plot made as much sense as that, because it really, really doesn't.
...any takers?
*stumbles off in a daze*
~DF
You better report to FicPsych stat. Oh, and make sure you stop at the Fountain of Bleepka.
By the Nine...
Somewhat NSFW?
Isn't the rule "it's either fully NSFW or it's not?"
...and there's also really, really, REALLY NSFW. This one is at the mild end of the scale.
I believe the objection before was that something cannot be 'partially NSFW'...although part of it can be while another part isn't, so that may not have been the best word choice. However, I was referring to the degree of NSFWness.
~DF
Ah. Gotcha.
http://www.quotev.com/story/3651489/Never-alone/
You know the drill. I post it, I claim it.
Woohoo.
Your enthusiasm is good, but you did notice you've claimed enough fics for a spinoff? Most agents don't have more than three missions under their belt, and that's the fifth fic you claim. Sure, claiming fics isn't set on stone - I should know, I've claimed fics and moved them back to the unclaimed list myself, and old claims get booted to the unclaimed list, too - but I think you're overdoing it.
That said, the Claimed Badfic list could use a cleanup. How do I do that?
I admit, I had to read the comments to understand the full implications of the planet's name, but it was well worth it. Necrons dealt with in true Doctor style; fantastic!
Now, I find myself thinking along the lines of that post I saw further down the board recently about a Rancor versus a Cave Troll, and I find myself wondering... What would win out of a Dune Sand Worm and a Mass Effect Thresher Maw?
I love a good Doctor Who crossover, even though I don't know the fandom on the other end.
-Aila
Mission hopefully coming up soon, thanks mainly to PoorCynic's writing workshop (and a number of other factors, but PoorCynic was definitely the catalyst).

http://www.quotev.com/story/3896790/Why-10th-Doctor-Love-Story/
Doctor Who badfic. The title says it all.
But I have to give it to the author that they did their research.
Not claiming.
Bleeprin! Get your Bleeprin here! We stock all types of bleeprin, in all sizes up to the barrel!
I think I need some, after reading a page of all of these badfics...
You'll need a tanker truck.
I got orders coming, don't worry.

"Ooh look, I'm a prissy Mary Sue! I'm the daughter of Sauron! I'm a ranger! I'm so kewl!"
*claimed*
http://www.quotev.com/story/3817079/By-Mere-Magic-Legolas/
This Sue is a worldjumper, she can move between continuum. Anyone ready for an intercontinuum chase? So claimed.

...but you seem to be claiming quite a lot of badfics without updating the 'Claimed Badfic' list. Can this be because you forgot (or haven't had time) to update it, or simply because you haven't heard of it?
Also, I think this will come in useful for you: http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/MissionWritingGuide
If you haven't read it, do read it. It will come in very, very handy for those writing their first missions.
~Autumn
Do you want me to put the fics on the list for the time being, until you comment on them, or do you want to do it on your own?
Also, you have read the Mission Writing Guide, have you? Most pre-Permission Boarders would have, 'cause they're all so eager to write their own mission reports.
~Autumn
Oh. A Sue jumper. Gotcha.
I'll just... Sit here... With Jumper... Preying that I can write a world-jumper well.
What in the name of Aslan (and Eru and Merlin) *is* that? And it's not even finished? Imagine if it was...ugh, I need to dunk my head in a barrel of Bleepbeer, excuse me.
~Autumn
...and this was what I found: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9386635/2/The-Destruction-of-Shadows
A Sue who rips off Eru's and Fëanor's name and descriptions of the El-twins and Boromir from the book without crediting Tolkien. And it doesn't help that *some* reviewers are defending the Suethor, thinking that fanfic writers can do anything in fanfiction.
~Autumn
...I got to "Erulissë Fëanor, the eldest daughter of Lord Elrond" in the summary before losing it. This is hysterical.
Although, um, that should be 'elder', unless there's a third sister added on as well.
Oh wow. 'Eru-honey+feminine-ending Spirit-of-fire'. The heck. Especially considering that Líssë is a feminine Quenya name meaning 'honey', not Lissë, and I have no idea why you'd want to combine that with Eru in the first place. Also, Elves don't use the names of Eru or the Valar in their own names. According to realelvish.net, doing that is considered to be an attempt to impersonate a god. Oh dear, the charges are just piling up...and all from one sentence! Also, considering that Elves of the Third Age normally give out Sindarin names, and that Fëanor (/muffles giggles) is a Sindarin-ish name in any case, her first name ought to be Eruglíhel, or something along those lines. Which...looks kind of awful, actually, I can see why an English speaker wouldn't choose that.
WELL! This just got worse! She's got a dead friend who gets awakened.
...zombies in M-e?
I think I need to actually read this thing. See you around.
~DF
*puts on goggles* Oh horror of horrors...are you claiming this fic too? If you are, please bash Emerald on the head for me. Thank you.
~Autumn
I pretty much stopped reading when I saw, in the link, the title. It yelled - more like screamed in my face - Mary-Sue.
"The Last Witch of Middle-Earth" ? Really?
While I am happy to see such enthusiasm, please remember to use the same thread for badfic reports until it falls off the front page. There's a badfic report thread started by you just three days ago and it's still in the first page; a bit bellow that there's AdmiralSakai's, and a bit bellow that there's another one by you.
My ears! You're bellowing rather loudly there...
I don't see any caps-lock going on in that post, nor do I see exclamation points (which I do note are in your post, making you appear to be louder than Des). In what way was there bellowing?
-Phobos
Des wrote 'bellow' instead of 'below' in his original message.
"...a bit bellow that there's AdmiralSakai's, and a bit bellow that there's another one by you."
Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for the correction, PC.
I apologize, DemonFiren.
-Phobos
Oops. That's what happens when you have lots of inspections planned in a short time and you're doing long shifts - your spelling suffers. Sorreh, people.
The Suethor does not know what paragraphing is. Lenina is a frilly, shallow idiot who makes canon characters talk like teenagers. The Suethor needs to take up Punctuation 101.
Examples of the above: "'Are you serious? I mean, I don't like dwarfs that much, but to pretend you don't know them, that's a little harsh, don't you think?' [Legolas] carefully asked. " Inhabitants of Arda do not say "are you serious?" or "I mean", Suethor dear. Nor do they call dwarves "dwarfs". Another one: "'How is that possible???'" Legolas comments on a random Kinslaying the Suethor invented, spraying us with question marks.
This one gave me a migraine. 99Hedgehog (and all other Circle-Divers), I admire your guts and tolerance.
~Autumn
It's the circle, of course there's another mission boucing somewhere around in its depths.
Meanwhile in the Pit...
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9749841/3/The-Silver-Fox-and-the-Wood-Elf
I'm keeping an eye on this one, at the moment it's fairly short (3.5k) and whilst it hasn't mucked up the canon too much yet (besides the two titular characters) it doesn't look to be going in the right direction (although of course I may be wrong)
I should also really look outside of Harry Potter when I go in the pit. Oh well...
Oh and don't rush people about Permission, a) just because you're available now doesn't mean everyone else is and b) these things just take time.
