canon in the works

Screenshots, or links might work.

I made this board for an MST originally, but you absolutely could play it with an agent's career, a badfic, or even a single mission (though that would be much harder, especially if it's super short.) Really, whatever you want to play it with!

These items aren't all inherently bad (scriptfic, for example, can be good), they’re just common tropes in badfic. That said, if you have any specific types of bad slash to suggest, I'll certainly add more items!

and you also can't select any text covered by spoiler tags either; you don't have to black out links, you can just make it unclickable text.

Already briefly talked about this one on the Discord. Title should say it all. Contnuum is Sword Art Online. Read at your own peril: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53181535

The fic promises to elaborate on the trauma which the protagonist suffered in SAO, a good (though extremely hard to execute) premise. Unfortunately, it goes down the gutter quickly and the fic forgets about its premise within a few paragraphs, feeling the need to focus on some tragic M/M romance.

Example of trivialization.

I won't go further than that. Should give a rough idea of what you're in for if you decide to click that link.

I attempted both, one for a specific badfic and one for one of my spin-offs.

I, uh, got on an editing spree. Sorry. ^_^;

I don't have much to add here, either. Mainly, I didn't make Linstar a Bureaucrat because that's not what got discussed below.

Re. roles, I don't think we need to hand out all the powers to anyone who expresses the least interest. Having the power implies having the responsibility, IMO, and not everyone wants that. I thought our more occasional editors might be interested in getting un-restricted from pages locked against trolling, but since no one spoke up, I guess not!

What are the rules? Is it one card per badfic, one card per agent's career...?

Also, I noticed one of the tiles is "slash." I guess it's implied to be bad slash if it's in a bad fic, but still, can it please be "OOC slash" or something—more specific? There are so many fun ways that slash can be bad! {; P

I'm afraid I don't know your email, though - however, if you don't want to put it on this public forum, you can email me directly since, if I remember right, I attached an address to my name. If it's red, you should be able to see it. Thanks!

"PPC" is left uncapitalised once, and your agent appears to be a canon character somehow. We don't typically allow that. Just so you know,

Permission is more focused on things that will definitely impact continuity, as in Missions, Interludes, potential Emergencies, histories, etc. But the journal itself reads a bit more like RP than prose, so it's in that sorta grey zone?

That being said, if Bognil does want the stuff in the journal to be in the HQ continuity, they will have to get Permission, yes.

I have created a large bingo board for badfics. If you want to create your own board, there's one here.

EDIT: Slightly updated version here: https://bingobaker.com/#65bc39e7191c10c5/

On order to actually write a PPC Agent and have it be canon, you need Permission.

You do not have Permission, and you'll need to stick around longer before one of the PGs can give it to you. I would take those writings and keep them private for now.

Hope that was clear,

I have one now!

Look and see! https://agent-bognil.dreamwidth.org/

I liked the interlude and the mission, and the Charlie/Charles fight, and the clouds of angst, and Dr. Glocktopus, and really all the other little bits of worldbuilding that're sprinkled in here ... and I like how the fic getting an improving rewrite was represented in the mission.

Was good, did enjoy, still like reading Charlie and Jiwon!

what I was actually referencing, I had to put this here because of the character limit

I'm Oculus, but I also answer to Oc. I'm more active in the PPC Discord than I am on the Board these days, but it's nice to meet you. Is your Board name a reference to the town of Nilbog? If it is, I'm sending you a high five. Always nice to meet a person of culture. :P

Nice to meet you, and I appreciate the offer! Is there any way you want me to send the doc over, like email or Discord?

Seconding Linstar: glad you made your way here. You might find our FAQ: For Newbies helpful, specifically the "What do I say?" section to start with. ^_^
