Well, perhaps they could still be friends?

Sadly, no. She's actually from an unfinished piece of original fiction I've been working on in fits and starts over the past month or so.

...that Amelia is from the World of Warcraft? My current agent pair is from that continuum and they would love the company.

Fantastic. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

You are allowed to claim before getting permission, just can't publish PPC stuff before getting permission.

It is highly suggested you read everything you can get your hands on PPC-wise before asking for permission or writing anything so you have a good idea of what's been done before and what hasn't and so on.

Of course, you can't read everything, but it's fun.

I was looking at the Unclaimed Badfic page on the Wiki, and saw that there's a series of The Great Mouse Detective badfics. Would it be possible to pre-claim those fics, given that I don't have permission yet? The Great Mouse Detective is one of my most favorite Disney movies of all time, and I'd greatly relish slaying the 'Sue that dares to mess with it. I'm not asking for Permission to begin writing; I just want to know if I can reserve the right to claim these 'fics.

Thanks! I can't wait to write them. It's going to be awesome.

Yes, the titles I snagged from the other fanmixes are deliberate, simply because they fit so well. As for the title, I'm not sure. I'm all for suggestions, and feel free to add it to the Wiki.

I like your agents' theme songs. I look forward to meeting them.

Does it have a title? And, are the repeated tracks deliberate? And, do you want to add it to this page, or should I?

That's why it didn't work.

And I'm a ditz for not posting the link. My apologies.

I've made my own PPC fanmix, complete with liner notes. Just wanted to share it with you.

Oh, and if you're wondering who Amelia and Ian are (their themes are listed in the liner notes), they're my future Agents. I've got their basic bios and stuff already written up, 'cause I'm weird like that...

I present the Doctor Who crossover series by Phantazm. The characters are actually in-character, which is a good sign. Vader is honestly Vader-y, the Klingons are definitely Klingon, and the Doctor is actually acting like himself.

WARNING: I am currently unsure as to my ability to seperate mediocrefic from goodfic, so don't get your hopes up too much.

It's "continua," only one U. {= )

It's one thing not to share our sense of humor, but if you're really as torn up about all this as you make it sound, I suggest in all seriousness and with all respect that you seek professional help--not because you're different from us, not because we don't agree, but because, to my mind, it is just not healthy to feel so bad about things that aren't real. It especially worries me that you think you have to stay here and do what we do even though you keep saying how uncomfortable it makes you feel. There is no good reason for that. I feel like there has to be something else going on in your life, and as much as we'd like to make you feel better, we really can't help as long as your troubles are deeper than simply not getting the jokes.

Please consider it.

Original story describing EEK's use is here:

Why not just use the Embryo Extraction Kit? It's already there in PPC canon, so why go looking for what's essentially redundant tech?

Quoting from the MPreg page on the Wiki:

"Sadly, fangirls who believe it's "cute" to have Jack Sparrow impregnated by Legolas will write what they will, and if there's nothing that logic and common sense can do to stop them, then our chances are slim to nil.

Fortunately, the Department of Sufficiently Advanced Technology has come up with a remedy for such an event: the Embryo Extraction Kit. This resembles the de-bugger used in The Matrix, but hooks up to a life-supporting receptacle, depositing the embryo into a friendlier environment than some poor canonical's intestinal tract. Since the child of Jack Sparrow and Legolas could never exist in canon, the fetuses are under the care of Medical Department until birth, after which they are placed in Canon Nursery School. "

So technically (Well, if I'm reading this right), you could use an artificial womb-like structure to transfer the embryo to, and therefore not have to worry about involving a surrogate mother.

I think that the PPC does serve a quite valuable purpose. It shows what's wrong with certain stories- SPAG issues, Mary Sues, etc- and then, most importantly, tells you how to fix it. I know I have a few badfics in my past (I started out doing HP fanfic, but have never returned to it, thank Glod), but a few things helped me get better at writing. One was taking a creative writing class Senior year of High School, but the other was finding people who consistently wrote goodfic (bitemetechie is a primary example of this; she's a genius at it). The PPC helps spread the fact that there are, in fact, goodfics out there, since the missions themselves are (hopefully) meant to be such things.

As for the second question, I think it's honestly how the person reading the missions takes the intent (having fun and spreading goodfic)and what they do with what they learn: Mary Sues are bad, good grammar is non-negotiable, etc.

I know I'm just rambling here. Take it as you will.
