Department of Floaters and All-Purpose Department.
I'm leaning on Floaters.

Well, it doesn't once you learn how to use it. The character I got it from hardly even had to think about it, and he never got sliced. I'm rather surprised that no one has guessed the yo-yo's home continuum, though. I guess it's not as well-known as I thought, though I guess it is in the "Juvenile" section of my library (I read and enjoyed it a long time ago, but it has lost some of its charm since then, even for me).

The # sign is "sharp" when talking about music. I have no idea why it's called a pound sign, but Sedri's £ sign seems to have more right to the name—the currency is called a "pound" after all. And, yes, improper semi-colon use is very annoying.

L&F got in trouble twice ... by
on 2010-05-21 01:03:00 UTC

... for finding, er, questionable methods which hadn't been specifically banned yet and using them. Monsters which rape their victims to death are apparently frowned on, as L&F discovered after the incidents in question - one with the Redneck Trees, one with Drip Rat. They claimed they fail to see how it's that much worse than being eaten, but still got in trouble.
(I understand why it's frowned on. The characters did not.)

Your agents can certainly be from two different canons. One of my agent teams has one agent from Star Trek, one from His Dark Materials, and one from a Harry Potter/Firefly crossover.
(And by the way, "a lot" is two words.)

For magical eyes... by
on 2010-05-20 23:45:00 UTC

...I'm not really coming up with a lot. I know of several canons where eyes, magical or not, can be transplanted from one person to another, and I know of at least one dimension-hopping character who should be capable of creating artificial eyes (seeing as she at one point creates a fake arm that can bleed and, for some odd reason, grab ghosts), but I can't really think of any where there's a standardized magical eye replacement.
The fun thing about the PPC, though, is how easy it is to justify whatever type of plot device you want. Not only are there millions of canons Medical can steal from, but HQ isn't exactly lacking in the mad scientist department. Making up some sort of magically powered replacement is not out of the question.
In terms of technological-based replacements, though, my favorites are still the prosthetics used in Ghost in the Shell (specifically in the character Batou). They look sort of like camera lenses embedded in the eye socket and function the same way, identifying, isolating and zooming in on points of interest (such as weapons or writing) in a scene as the user observes them. Of course, they also might require having a computer installed in the user's brain to work properly...

It would only be doing the same thing as the Author did, and would show that we're not any better. So we won't. Mere Exorcism would do, as long as we're not facing any Character Replacements. If so, just use the Heartless, like PoorCynic did in his mission.

Permanently or temporarily? by

Temporary team-ups happen quite frequently. Permanently, I think they'd get lumped into Floaters or a Freelance division.

... I'm after Luigi and Peasley's Summer Blossom as my first target. I go for badfics in less popular fics. Concider that Fic mine.
It contains Mpreg, double sentences on top of the chapters, a Mary Sue (*two more added due to a request), and most of the cast is OOC while Luigi gets the worst of it.
I can't spork on Team Fortress 2 fics because I didn't played it yet.

"I" language can get awkward. by

If you have to use a pronoun, it's better to use "I". But it can be a little awkward, and if it is awkward then it's obvious you're using it, which defeats the purpose because it sounds like you're patronizing them...
Better to stay away from pronouns in general, I think. Talking about the story without either "you" or "I" seems to work best for me.

But you're going to make a mission for it, make sure that contact with Hitler and Himmler is kept to a minimum before the exorcism and neuralyzation. They might get the idea that they can change history with no consequences.
