The New Republic after there problems might remember how Thrawn was beating them badly in years past, and might actually try to ask for his aid/Chiss Aid.

Alternatively in desperation and in need of troops, they seek to reactivate the Separatist Droid Army. You also have the Concord Dawn Protectors and Remaining Mandalorians out in play as well.

There is one faction from the GFFA that has been silent. Given the projected track of the Imperium of Man's forces, before too long they will be pushing into the Unknown Regions, which means they will be encroaching on the Chiss Ascendancy. The second the Imperium shows any kind of hostile intent in Chiss Territory, the Chiss enter the war.

The Chiss intervention is going to change everything. One of the things they are known for is reverse engineering technology and then making it better, i.e., the Clawcraft or the Charric. The Chiss would bring a whole new set of technology and command ability.

The Chiss might even get involved sooner, as I believe in current canon they are in a partial alliance with the Empire, and even if they do not intervene at first as the Imperium marches through the GFFA the Chiss will eventually see them as an existential threat.

Not to mention there is still the matter of Thrawn himself. He will not be idle in this period. If he does not return to Chiss Space with the Seventh Fleet to shore up the Ascendancy or seek aid for the Empire, he is probably going after supply lines of the Imperium.

"What a like zallky vecher! Starry shoots can't do the Hallows proper."

Anne, dressed in khakis, sandals, and pith helmet, blinked. "I'm pretty sure I agree . . . You said grown-ups suck at parties, right?"

Harry nodded and glowered, which accented the angry expression of his evil clown makeup in a frightening way. "A vecher ought to be all gromky and grahzny. Not just like jabberjaw and paper dooks. Back in the old globe, I would see gullivers getting cracked in and cables all a-razrez." He savagely mimed a cutting motion.

Anne looked away, wide-eyed. "Then again, grown-up parties do have some charms."

"Humph! Hardly. Halloween is defined by the Kids Next Door as a kids-only holiday. " Numbuh 3721 crossed her arms. She wore the traditional battle helmet of the KND, composed of kitchenware. "This overt takeover by adults is nothing more than a flagrant attempt on our candy intake, thinly disguised as an excuse to have boring chatter with each other."

The three kids stood for an awkward moment.

"Of course," said Anne, "we're just standing here talking, too."

They stood for another, much more awkward, moment.

"True enough," admitted Harry.

Numbuh 3721 pointed dramatically at the long table of sweets. "Kids Next Door: candy station!"

I think the Aragogs make raw Bleep, and then that's mixed with Aspirin to make Bleeprin.

...I may be wrong, though.

...but the Internet sometimes leaves the stupidest things on my doorstep.

Daemonworlds are ruled by whatever warp entity present happens to be strongest. This entity has the power to rewrite reality according to their whims. If one were to decide that it didn't particularly care to be vaporized by the attack, then the attack wouldn't work. The laws of physics would actually rearrange themselves to suit the Daemon's will. It's entirely possible that the planet's ruler would simply absorb the energy to strengthen itself. And worse comes to worse, Slaanesh might act personally, given Palps is attacking his..her...its...domain.

As for what they'll do next...Abaddon might try to break him, and certainly has the means to make a good attempt at it. Given Palpatine's nature, I could actually see him trying to make an escape and winding up in the realm of one of the Chaos gods. Probably Tzeeench, seeing as his scheming would appeal to the god of plots.

The most terrifying possibility would be that Palpatine's sanity would be taken by the god of sorcery, in exchange for more power. He could then be unleashed back onto the galaxy as a puppet of the Choas Gods.

As for Chaos in general, the Traitor Legions would love to have a vulnerable galaxy to pillage, and would probably set out on unholy crusades, destabilizing, burning, infecting, or debauching their way across the Empire.

I think there is at least some potential in the comparation of Ways and the Force-using traditions. Dark Eldars could also try to see if this cloning tech is better than the one they use to create the bulk of their Warrior (up to the point of 'Trueborn' Dark Eldars being their own units, elite ones). ithout talking about the Dark Side, the fact their souls aare slowly munched by Slaanesh unless they feed off pain and similar emotions...

And there are the stone souls, Ynnead...

I mean, I don't mind in the least that Palpy messed up - he is the villain, after all - but what's the data behind 'pumping the entire energy of a star into a daemonworld will have no effect'?

As for giving them ideas: they have the Fist, plus the GFFA's preeminent Force user (assuming they can twist him, which... isn't necessarily a given, and probably depends on Plot). What do you think they'll do next?

hS

Well, I'll start with the star killing shots. Palpatine really screwed up. The Warp wouldn't care in the slightest about the blasts. The daemonworlds inside the Eye would be practically immune to the effects. Worse, Palpatine violated a long-standing Imperium rule: No Exterminatus on Daemonworlds. There is a simple reason for this rule. For one, it rarely works.

For another, it tends to give them ideas.

I can't say too much regarding the Eldar. While I do know a lot about them, it's nowhere near as much as I know about the Imperium or Tyranids. Or Chaos, for that matter, since I do know plenty about them.

So the mini-Aragogs just poop out little pills? Oh dear goodness.

Not Grundleplith's fic, but the weird total-collision timeline we've been hashing out further down the thread.

Star WarHammer: Everyone Has a Headache, in 13 pages (so far!)

I've left the doc open for comments, so you can point at those pieces that I've gotten wrong/implausible (I know it's happened). The next stage is clearly Vader's dealings with the Eldar, and the effect of dozens of star-killing shots on the Eye of Terror; we've seen Tau, Tyranid, and Necron enthusiasts so far, so can anyone step up and speak for Chaos and the Eldar?

hS, PPC encyclopaedia long before that upstart Wiki came out

>Yes to your first question, though some agents have come from unpublished fanfics, both good and bad. The general agreement seems to be that if your homefic is unpublished, you'll have one heck of a time trying to get back to it.

>Yes to your second. My Immortal has long since been deleted from the Pit, but thanks to many, many people rehosting it, I'll be able to spork it without any problems.

>Ehhh, kind of to the third. Popping by for a few minutes to say hello to family doesn't seem to be frowned on, but if you want to stay longer, you need vacation time from the Flowers, and they don't really like to let agents have time off. And, of course, barring some circumstances, the agents have to keep the PPC a secret.

>Bleeprin's been taken in pill form, drank with a large variety of cocktails, smoked in cigarettes... basically, if it's a food, it can probably be mixed with Bleep. As for who it works on, that's entirely up to you!

>They all seem to be operated by buttons of various types. One of my agents is a Twilight vampire, so she's be in a bit of a pickle if she couldn't use any of the gear, yeah? :P

(I'm guessing you're planning on making an undead agent?)

>Absolutely! Just make sure to write the character appropriately, and not have them make rookie mistakes.

>The original fic is still available for reading, but it no longer affects the canon. (Basically, until a fic is killed, it just keeps looping over and over and repeatedly subjects the canons to their torture.)

If I got anything wrong, someone feel free to correct me. But anyway—hope this helped!

1/ Assuming multiverse theory is correct, badfic worlds come into existence and begin affecting Word Worlds the moment they're written, in any medium.

2/ Yes. Several Legendary Badfics are examples of this.

3/ That sounds like an excuse for skiving off. I don't trust it. ~The Maquis de Sod.

4/ "It comes in the form of a round white pill about the size of a chickpea (or large normal pea)." But there are numerous liquid derivatives.

4b/ Probably depends on the undead.

5/ Hahaha, you think HQ has a consistent level of technology, that's adorable. ^_^ Author's discretion.

6/ Absolutely!

7/ Under Multiverse Theory, it removes the parasitic sub-dimension that is trying to warp the nature of the Word World. It doesn't affect the written story, which becomes a record of a dead world (as it were).

8/ Always.

hS

After looking several times on the wiki, there are some things that I'm wondering about that may come into play at some point, and I'm nervous about interpreting things incorrectly.

-Does a badfic come into "existence" only once it has hit the internet, or can it be similarly entered and killed via portal into a written-on-paper badfic?

-Is a fic still sporkable if it has been deleted and reposted in its original state? IE, the original author took it down but someone else put it back up and made no changes.

-Are there rules about returning regularly to one's home dimension?

-Is Bleeprin a solid, liquid, or gas? Would it work on the undead?

-Are any of the devices operated by heat-sensing touch screens?

-Is it acceptable to write an agent as having been a part of the PPC for a while, even if the character has just been created?

-How does the killing of a fic affect the Real World outside of Headquarters? Is it purged from existence, non-sentient, or some such?

-If the above have no clear answer, do I resort to the Laws of Narrative Irony and Comedy?

That does look a lot better, but... I get the nagging feeling there must be a better way.

I mean, given your total overkill nature, I'd suggest hosting HTML on FreeNet, but I don't think FreeNet has any good gateways to the regular internet, and asking everyone to go through FreeNet is obviously unacceptable.

This is a hard problem...

Hi Thoth,

This is just a very quick test to see what it would look like if I printed it full size on standard Letter size paper. I'm not constrained to using standard sizes of paper, but I chose Letter size since it would be easiest to print and tends to look alright if resized to A4, although A4 tends not to look so great if resized to Letter.

https://tripledes.ocloud.de/index.php/s/HDiiXy4TaIdt2u3

Let me know if you prefer it better this way, or the other way around, or you'd like me to try with a smaller paper size.

Since my NextCloud server has SSL/TLS with strong ciphers preferred, and this is just a very quick experiment to test formatting, I won't PGP sign this version.

He craned his neck very unsubtly in an attempt to see what was going on.

The Aviator rocked back on her heels. Her face felt very hot, but she squeezed the Detective's hand in return. "Good to know," she said, looking down at Elanor. The Time Tot was more interested in trying to chew on her shoes than anything else at that moment. "We should, erm, probably head back to our partners, then?"

"Ah," he said at last, realization dawning. It had never occurred to him that someone might not be comfortable leaving things in such a nebulous state, but if something definitive was what the Aviator needed, he thought, he could adapt.

"This thing," he said, realizing that none of what he'd thought had actually traversed the conduit from brain to mouth, "As you so charmingly put it, is whatever either of us need it to be. But since that's usually the grounds for any relationship," he continued, taking her hand, "I think it definitely follows that's what this is."

Hi Pasty Greens,

You are right and I actually agree that it's much more natural and much more organic to find a real badfic. In some cases, much more satisfying as well.

I mentioned somewhere in this thread a bit more about why, but I'll sum it here: around 2010, the PPC came under fire publicly when a writer accused them of cyberbullying other people over their Mary Sues. It was quite a lot of bad press. I am cautious by nature, so rather than try to manage the risk of accidentally stomping all over someone's ego, even by accident, I've decided to eliminate the risk entirely.

This is just something I will do on my own, since I believe that other people here may be more capable of managing that risk than me.

Hi Thoth,

I thought about it and decided I'd be able to meet you halfway. I usually structure my stuff so that I can change it quickly by making template changes if I have to, so let me see about putting out two versions, one optimized for display on tablets and mobile devices, and another optimized for display on a monitor. If you guys really want, I could make a third in simple plain text as a 'low bandwidth' option, since I understand that some of us, myself included, need to be operating on limited amounts of bandwidth and slow connections.

My NextCloud provider limits the number of lines of a .txt file that I can display on the page preview, so you would have to download it (I know this won't sit right with most) and I'd have to hand-format it, but I would be happy to do this if you guys prefer it that way.

Hey Huinesoron,

Thank you for having a look at my piece and approaching it with an open mind. I would really like to know what you felt about the story itself, especially with respect to John and Ayumi's chemistry and the way they interacted, since I haven't written this pair of characters before. Much of this was very off-the-cuff, so I'm eager to hear feedback on it.

The reason I put PGP signatures on everything is not because I distrust the PPC, it is because I do not trust other users on Tor.

What my worry is, may be something like a user such as Bramadin, who had previously attempted to claim my identity and pose as me, or perhaps some Internet troll coming in and misbehaving while trying to pose as me. It would be fairly difficult to ban an abusive user that also uses Tor without banning me in the process as well.

I understand the risks of using Tor to access public sites, and have come to expect that occasionally, Tor may be blacklisted on sites I visit because of abuse or spam. If that does happen, I'll understand and won't take it personally, and will return when all has settled down (although I might try to contact you by E-mail to see if everything is alright first, or I might wait for an "all-clear" from someone in the PPC before I try to come back).

The PGP signatures are a little bit of insurance. They're a technological guarantee that while someone may be able to steal my screen name, they won't be able to steal my online identity with you guys, so long as you guys have the real key that belongs to the real me. [See Footnote 1]

If you guys have my real, genuine key, you'd be able to tell immediately something is amiss if the signature verifies to another key, or if the signature fails to verify and gives a "BAD SIGNATURE from TripleDES!" error. This has the effect of being able to reduce the question of security down to two factors: the security of my computer, and the security of yours.

It's a bit overkill, but, as you guys may have noticed, senseless overkill is a bit of a pattern with me.

Sure. Thoth had a suggestion below, so I'll add another response to theirs, and I'll address this there.

No problem, I'll try to keep things brief from this point on if asked.

I understand your concern with the idea of bullying other people over their Mary Sues. I've actually followed the PPC for a little bit longer than I have let on up until now. I remember reading an article that Neshomeh had written sometime ago in response to accusations of cyberbullying. If my memory serves it was a response to a certain "Bosette" that had argued that writing Mary Sues was empowering to women. I recall it being from maybe around mid 2010 originally although I know that it may have been brought up a lot, since it's appeared several times sense.

With this in mind: I want to stress that I intend to homebrew my own badfic simply because I want to be able to err on the side of caution. This way, there can be **no possible way** I could ever be construed as having been engaging in cyberbullying, since there would be no perceptible target, except a fictional author, that doesn't exist.

It's overkill, but again, overkill is just in my nature.

I have actually not read Jurisfiction! I will have to.

I wanted to take the metafiction approach since I believed that taking a much more bold-facedly meta approach would allow for characters to also be show more in the way of self-awareness. It would make breaking the fourth wall a little bit easier, and I thought that having been from failed continuities themselves could also give them some idea of what happens when the creative process slides downhill. I've noticed that several other writers use redeemed or atoning Sues as agents and thought to take it to something of a next step. If this is incompatible with the current continuity though, I understand and will take this into account.

One of my major sources of inspiration for this was *The Last Action Hero.* The idea of an Action Hero and his Archnemesis winding up in the real world, where the rules aren't decided by the pen of the author and the Hero isn't going to triumph all the time just because of authorial fiat really appealed to me. I thought the same could be applied to a Mary Sue. After all, I feel that John Smith himself would, in his home continuity, be walking a very fine line himself. There are after all, many similarities between an Action Movie Hero, and a Mary Sue.

The effects of travel montages and what the characters experience actually were a bit of a joke even before I thought of this series. For instance, if the travel montage is meant to represent a long period of time where the characters are boarding a flight, then why do they pick up the conversation that they were having before the trip back up immediatey from where they left off the moment they get off the plane or the montage ends? My guess is that when that happens, travel montages are very nearly instant to the characters, or take *exactly* the same time they take us, the audience, to watch them occur!

If you guys are going to be OK with me publishing here, I'd really like to, PPC spinoff or not. If need be, I'll preface my stuff with a disclaimer stating that Watanabe & Smith is not a part of PPC Continuity, so that way there can be no confusion at all. After all, if I've got a disclaimer stating that the stunt driving that I haven't written yet isn't realistic there's always room for more disclaimers or notes.

Alright, I'll bear that in mind.

Thank you very much. I'll get to work immediately.

Footnote 1: A determined troll could create a counterfeit key, upload it to the keyserver, sign messages with it, present the counterfeit key to you guys as the real one, and if nobody bothers to check the signatures, then they might be able to pass off as me to someone who doesn't check the signatures. An even more determined attacker might upload thousands of counterfeit keys to the keyserver all with the identity "TripleDES" on them as a crude form of a denial-of-service attack. A very, VERY determined attacker could hijack the DNS (not usually something I would trust your average pissed off fanficcer to be capable of doing, but it's not hard since DNS wasn't ever meant to be secure) when you attempt to look back and see if the signing key has changed and verify it against the original fingerprint I posted with messages of their own, which would be able to trick anyone who hadn't obtained my genuine, original public key. An adversary with state-level resources could spend a lot of computing power and time to generate a key that produces a fingerprint collision since PGP uses SHA-1 for the key fingerprints, but my threat model doesn't at this moment account for that kind of an attack. Until a sufficiently powerful computer that can efficiently solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem or my computer's cryptographically secure random number generator suffers a nonce collision since I use ECDSA which consumes randomness to make each signature, I do not believe crypto, Tor, or protocols to be the weak link in my own security.
