There's not much more to say, honestly.

By the way, when you have multiple paragraphs of dialogue, you add quotes to the beginning of the paragraphs.

"I like cupcakes! Somewhat," he interrupted himself. )

Because the same author has a crossover fic, that, I kid you not, is THE ENTIRE SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS SERIES with the names replaced by those of Sonic characters. It's called "Series of unfortunate events Sonic style" or something similar, I can't link right now.

It is pure plagiarism.

Featuring Guya in his childhood.

this is an issue I feel rather strongly about.

Warning for genuine swearing, because to hell with being nice on this issue.

Here is one badfic, set in the Sonic Boom universe. The premise of the fic rips off a canonical episode, and there are a lot of misspellings (including the mini “Perici” instead of canon “Perci.”)

But I can see how you'd think that, it was poorly phrased.

--Ls, regretfully.

Please don't do that ever again. Report specific fics only.

There is literally a Bad Fic tag.

Yup, some people are volunteering that their work is bad. Go figure.

And the language would be known as Human, until someone gets offended by that.

Which is a rather ironic title for the final chapter, isn't it? I wondered for a second if Bast was planning to continue, but then again, this does say "epilogue." Still, I hope Mary Sue did see an end to the crazy eventually. Either the PPC would have seen her as a reformed/reformable Suvian (actually, a CAD scan would reveal how very unglittery she was, anyway!) and let her do a handful of probation missions before sending her home to the moment she got plotholed out . . . or, she would grow to like the work, and her son could move into the Nursery!

I like all the choreography that went into Jay and Acacia pulling Mary back up. All the awkward fumbling and bumping into Mary . . . felt very realistic! Good thing Jay doesn't employ cheap quality bows, though.

Like I said somewhere, Future Imperfect got chewed up by Google anyway. I managed to save the first couple of exchanges, but it's all just scene-setting. I'm happy to leave it unseen outside that terrifying icon-circle, and then let people look at the endnotes if they want.

I worry, sometimes, about Nancy being Too Much. Within her limits she appears to be ridiculously powerful, and there's probably a DIA file on her that consists of an endless list of the apocalypses she could bring about. There were no apparent constraints on, y'know, the time-traveller and death god she created for WicDiv, and it's not like there's going to be a shortage of people in the PPC who'll believe whatever she tells them. Her one saving grace is that she's so over-the-top about it that someone will call her on it - that, plus it's HQ, bizarre apocalypses happen all the time. She had nothing to do with the carnivorous meatloaf, for example.

I think, like their powers and attitudes during the event, each former-god's memories afterwards will be down to how they feel about it. Tanfin remembers the whole thing, but finds it slightly cringeworthy to think about, for example.

(Oh! Is that the Body-Swap RP? Y'know, I wonder if the new Spinoff Pages approach can be extended to canonical and semi-canonical RPs, breaking them down into sub-threads and so forth. It would certainly make it easier to refer to things to have a decent page, rather than a stubby description like that one currently sports.)

I'd like to say I'm up for continuing all the things I started now, but I'm not. {= ( Maybe one thing, if there's somewhere it makes sense to focus first?

Anyway, it's nice to see the conclusion! I... feel like I should have seen that coming. It makes so much sense in hindsight.

My headcanon is that Jenni does figure out what happened at some point, but a) it's been long enough that she's not angry about it anymore, and b) what would even be the point of lecturing the Spirit of Imagination about letting a fantasy run wild? It would be like scolding water for being wet. {X D

Henry definitely remembers that time he was a god for a month, but it's like a dream, and the let-down gets pretty quickly overshadowed by finally going off to HFA. He might find he still knows a thing or two before they happen for the first year, though. ^_^

(Trivia: Henry also remembers that time he got body-swapped into Agent Kern for 36 hours when he was six. The worst part? He wasn't allowed to play with Kern's lightsaber.)

...all words in all languages will be deemed Bad, and everyone will have to communicate via pictures. And when those pictures are deemed Problematic ("drawing stick figures is fat-shaming!"), communication will simply cease to exist.

A less terrifying alternative is an entirely new language being invented that contains no problematic words whatsoever, and everyone has to speak it.

(I'm probably having more fun with this dystopian nightmare version of the PPC than I should...)

...especially when you are neurodivergent and can relate on some level to the characters being written about even though you dislike them, so seeing horrible things happen to them/seeing them being punished for things they did not canonically do is upsetting to the point of being genuinely psychologically triggering, and you just get shouted down when you try to say it makes you uncomfortable.

No, I'm not bitter in the slightest! Whatever gave you that idea? :P

Heh, Elsa-inspired student . . . It's not a completely out-of-place concept (you could argue that Else serves as an antagonist for at least part of Frozen!), but there was no reason for the OC to be such an attention black hole. I like that this Riddle fellow got to show off both his magic, and a bit of school regulation-citing in the finale. And giving the agents a bit of DOGA work as a wrap-up was a fun change, especially the mass reality rooming moment.

One nitpick that isn't really a typo: when you first have Inasuke speak, you call him "the 145 cm brown-haired agent in school-wide ceremonial dress uniform." That is quite a mouthful, especially for folks like me who already know the characters in your spin-off. it's okay to just say, "Inasuke ranted" there.

And then, two actual typos:
. . . his powers could still be simply disabled by ways of Riddle Rosehearts's unique magic.
I usually hear this phrased as "by way of", with a singular "way"

. . . the agents kicked back and watched the uncanonical building drowned in a sky-high inferno . . .
This could either be "and watched as the uncanonical building drowned" or "and watched the uncanonical building drown"

Seriously, that console noise. [B.E.E.E.RRPCCCKPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPITT]. It is the funniest. And the “Beautiful Eyes” bit is hilarious.

—Ls, laughing, but also perplexed a bit at the “Context?” that inexplicably appears without any.

It is not live. It is literally a subpage of my user page. Please do not edit it.

Here's the original text:

There is a sound that traditionally comes at the beginning of every PPC mission. While one of the most annoying, hated, violence-provoking sounds in the multiverse, it is also one of the most thrilling, because everyone who has heard it knows that what follows will be an Adventure: the protagonists, with the barest sense of what’s happening to them, will be faced with breath-taking scenery, unspeakable horror, and the epic struggle between Good and Evil in which they will eventually triumph.

[BEEEERipikakakabipbipbipbipbit?]

This was not that sound.

And here's what I got at the end of the chain:

Every PPC project usually has steps at the beginning. It's one of the angriest, hateful, and cruelest voices in the multiverse, but it's also the funniest because everyone who hears it knows what happens next. They faced Beautiful Eyes in an epic battle between good and evil, became fearless and won.

[B.E.E.E.RRPCCCKPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPITT?] Context?

not the sound

That's... surprisingly sensible, even though a lot went missing (including punctuation and caps in the last line). I like the bit about facing Beautiful Eyes; clearly that's an ironic euphemism for Suvians with their hideous color-changing "orbs". {X D

I think the "Context?" bit is possibly an error on Google Translate's part. Additional text first showed up there in the translation from Arabic to Luganda, went away between Luganda and Sudanese, then came back between Sudanese and Twi and stuck around. The funny thing is, if I run the Luganda line back into English, the "context?" bit goes away, but not if I run it back to English from any of the other languages I've checked. It's weird. I went ahead and submitted feedback about it to Google.

This retelling of My Immortal is even more confusing than the original. Hilariously so.

Honestly, the Killed Badfic pages are unnecessary—though to get rid of them, we’ll have to create some continuum pages.

—Ls really likes this idea.
