But that would be an interesting story idea. It is sad they're not around anymore.

Welcome, fans of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum and supporters of the Canon Protection Initiative! If you've got a story to plug, an opinion to share, or a discussion you want to join in, this is the place!
If you're looking for PPC stories to read, why not start with The Original Series – the missions of the famous assassins Jay and Acacia, the very first stories in PPC history. Once you've finished them, check out the list of Killed Badfic to find a mission you like the look of, or The Complete List of PPC Fiction to look up specific agents or departments.
Before you join the fun, there are some important links you should know about. Being familiar with these will save you a lot of hassle!
This list is also available as a Atom/RSS feed

But I DO see potential in an agent that came from there after wishing they had something to do again, because say it with me everybody: The ironic overpowerer is everywhere!
I will not sneak into an unpublished canon and take a vacation
-Unless I really really want another pay-cut
-Even if I’m willing to risk the paycut, the answer is still no
-Agent Zara, we do know you’ve been hiding out in your friend’s unpublished continuum because of the cute fluffy characters
I’m not allowed to feed my partner, the Flowers, or canon characters I don’t like to Fred the urple tentacle monster
-He only eats eggs anyway
-And Sues gave him food poisoning last time
From what I understand, the ACMSES doesn't really exist anymore. They don't really have a clear community anywhere, and their collection on ff.net hasn't been updated for years.
From what I recall, they were similar, though they created all their Sues rather than use existing ones, and had some kind of Sue powerscaling.
In 2013 there was an incident where several ex-PPCers plagiarized from our wiki and theirs; that was the most I remember them being brought up in relation to us besides a couple posts similar to this one.

In fact, I will not send any Twisted Wonderland characters or agents copies of Disney animated canon movies.
I will not tell Agent Momoka about My Horse Prince (warning: zoophilia)
I will not tell Agent Helena, the fairy one, about AI-generated art.
I've recently discovered them on TV tropes and I'm wondering what you all think of them, given how we are surprisingly similar
Is that just a ToukenRanbu thing?
--Ls had a goldfish as a pet when he was a young lad
I will not send Agent Fáelán a copy of Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
-I will not hang trans pride flags in the Hogwarts Great Hall, no matter how funny it may be.
-I will not hang mistletoe in the Cafeteria doorway.
-I will not send out chain emails containing real curses.
It's a genuine species of fish.
Interesting mission. I liked it, there were some great gags (clam hand!) but I felt as though you could have described the settings more. Now for typos!
"He was doing so all by his lonesome."
I think "...all alone." is better.
"Despite this, one need not worry for him; outside of the constant shocks with every pebble, twig and goldfish he picked up, he actually quite enjoyed the peace and quiet."
...goldfish?
"Sorry, Urato-kun," Momoka said. "Speaking of the vacation, where do you think we should go? Do you know any nice destination?"
*destinations
"Perhaps after the mission, she would commit seppuku with her kitchen knife." ...uh... maybe warn for that?

I've been meaning to resurrect this for a while, thank you!
I will not attempt to get the Coriander and the Cilantro to meet. It will not go well.
I will not steal a TARDIS and use it to take over the past version of the PPC. It will not work.
I will not whack agents with books, claiming that I'm exorcising them. This is a very bad idea.

Continuing the Colour Swap arc, the team hunts for another ingredient in another continuum, and Urato makes a shocking revelation about the nature of the vacation they're trying to get.
It's been 3 years since I checked.
To start: I will not shout "Make my monster grow!" before shrinking a Mini-Kaiju, that is begging for the opposite to happen.
I will not threaten to put sues in Traptainium, Kaos traps are as hard to come by as they are expensive.
-Same with Light and Dark traps
I will stop throwing fake master balls at agents who are Pokemon, FicPsych will start making me pay for the treatment.
And yes, it was for user-written quizzes, but people also used it to write fanfic. It was a weird place. But probably not weirder than Quotev, which I guess is its spiritual successor.
~Neshomeh
Just go to Quotev.
I think it's possible to mission it, you just have to be creative.

I'm under the impression that they don't have a narrative, thus they can't be missioned…
With its own unused Flower, even! Seems like a very fun concept to flesh out.

Extra kudos for having a to get through those toxically religious sermons, as well!
Bulldogs have slept more or less on top of me the last two nights, so I would say they are thoroughly scritched!
—doctorlit, cruelly ignoring the dogs right now in order to eat breakfast
Have a mini type, an adoptable/free-to-use character, a worldbuilding element etc. you want to promote to the community and give other writers cool new material to work with? Advertise them here! I have a few of my own:
Qiu definitely is rethinking some things! I think she loves Cedric still, but she's realising how ridiculous it is to have tied herself down like this, at her age...
I'm glad you enjoyed the speeches. I actually looked at a lot of famous political/religious speeches for Gaunt and Regulus both. Gaunt's speech is referenced from Boris Johnson's Brexit speeches, Johnathan Edwards' Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, and Evangelical sermons about the rapture. Regulus' speech is from Obama's victory speech (here's a fun analysis of the rhetoric he used), David Cameron's Manchester 2015 speech, and some good ol' Winston Churchill. So those are the vibes you picked up on!
(Also I used to write speeches for Japanese high school students, so I guess there's some of my experience as a speechwriter in there too)
Give the bulldogs lots of scritches for me!
