Craziness is what the Badfic Games are about. Boadicea is a Terrarian warrior, and you know what, she might even look a little bit like a goth because of armour which is very good armour but looks like it belongs to a Dark Lord. She does not act like one, however. She is trying to do the right thing, even if she makes a hash of it. Feel free to ignore all that.))

(Or at least something similar that also focused on the ladies of Arthurian legend? Not sure. But I had a Camelot obsession at one point!)
I think it was considered feminist for its time given the bold female sexuality depicted in a decade where that was not done. But it’s definitely been tainted since then by what MZB did in her private life. I’d only found out about this because I was trawling Fanlore. MZB was very pro-fanfic and her involvement in fan activities leading to copyright entanglements formed the basis of the idea of not involving the creator in fandom activities in general.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you can criticize it in any way. Nobody likes criticism, so don’t do it. Only compliments are acceptable.
Ebony, I like the detail about the CAD. It’s clever and creative!

Okay, full disclosure, I was speaking from a memory of having read the first part of Mists when I was a teenager. I didn't get any further because it was over my head, and had no idea about any of this. I was thinking maybe I ought to try reading it again. Now I think maybe I won't. >.<

School is starting, and in what remains of my free time, I have too many other projects to work on. I'm also hoping to watch the first two episodes of Rings of Power with my folks. They are finally out, and I intend to see if they've made a Glaurunging mess of them.

Hi my name is Ivory Black’ness Lee. I’m not related 2 Amy Lee but I wish I was. I’m goffik an I live in Slytherin. I’m a vampire but my teeth are strait and white. I wear all-black ripped fishnets, and my hare is long and black with purple streak in it. I’m a PPC agent, and i live in hq. My RC is black and has a coffin. My CAD is black and has MCR lyrics on it.
One day it was raining and snowing. I saw Sergio Tirbo. (AN his name is Derpression now!)
“Hi,” he said Shyly. “My name used 2 be serfio but now its Depresssion.”
Then I heard my friends calling and I had to go.

You realized it was bad, and deleted it. I don’t think you’ve anything to worry about. I’ve written some less-than-stellar stuff. It’s fine.
(Though if you hadn’t deleted it, you could’ve PPC’d it.)

but all the agents in my roster – that would be the Four Demonly Kings (Kaguya, Momoka, Urato, Inasuke) and the Fairy Godfathers (Helena, Sheen, Fáelán) – are all open for use in this event. I'd like to see what wacky antics are in store for them
ETA: The Heian AU counterparts of the Demonly Kings available at the time of this writing (Momoka hasn't appeared yet) are also open for use, but))

In light of... the horrendous stuff that MZB has done in her private life, this kind of stuff cropping up in Mists of Avalon without characters pushing back and the narrative treating it as a serious crime is... very telling.
Here's another, not so line-by-line discussion of the Mists of Avalon, including an account of what MZB stands accused of. Honestly, even though the accusations were made public posthumously, the fact that her husband was convicted and was an ongoing supporter of NAMBLA is telling. There's an extent to which one should not be held responsible for the views of one's spouse and I imagine said spouse supporting NAMBLA of all organisations would be a dealbreaker for most decent people. (And yeah, they did eventually divorce, but she married him after he was convicted...)
So yeah. I can see why you're getting those vibes. The appropriation of Avalon mythos in service of someone's id is definitely present in Hairkink Purityworld AU.

On its best days, the whole point of the PPC is to say "this is what you've done badly, you can do better". The fact that all of us have grown in that exact way is proof that it is possible, if you put the effort in.

We're not going to run you out of town for having written stuff in a genre/style you now hate. We've all done stuff like that before. What matters more is that you don't be too hard on yourself for it and just strive to write better by whatever new yardstick of quality you choose.

You know the type of badfic that I really hate – canon rehashing (which is basically plagiarism of canonical content)? Welp, I used to write one of those when I was really young, in the late 2000s-early 2010s, which I deleted when I wised up. I may or may not qualify to participate in content creation ever again until the day I die.
