I decided, just to double check, the PPC page again. there was something there that interested me that I had seen, but have never really looked at before. It was a link connecting to the tropes page for The Anti-Cliche and Mary-Sue Elimination Society. So recently I have been reading up on The Society and what they do, and I am pretty impressed.
Actually, I'm really impressed. They have a very comprehensive history, storyline and, well, society. The similarities between it and the PPC are many, yet there are some clear differences. The PPC tends to be more... comedic I suppose is the best word, though we have the ability to be serious if necessary for the story. It just is rarely necessary. The Society is also very comedic, but is often more dramatic than the PPC usually is. Is this good or bad for either side? Absolutely not, but it is different.
After reading some more and drawing connections, I decided to make this post for multiple reasons.
One: I wanted to know the PPC's position on the Society. Have many boarders even heard of them before, and what they think on The Society and their group.
Two: I was thinking about a potential crossover. The two are very different, but have very similar motives: to spork bad fanfiction. If there were some badfic that was so mind-numming, canon breaking, grammatically failing, all around BAD, that the two sides actually come across each other to kill the same fic. This discovery could later be explored as the two share experiences, technology and potential rivalries. I have already thought of a few things that could be done with a crossover, but I wanted to see what the rest of the board thought about the potential, or wether it has been discussed before.
Just some food for thought. This is not saying I have joined the other side or anything, just want to spur discussion. Besides, the PPC has at least one thing that I prefer over The Society. Our board is much nicer than their forum. Just saying.
