Would you be willing to mark (like in a different color) the places I have missed commas. Although, it would be funny to blame it on the Suethor, I have a serious problem with grammar, all by myself, especially for commas. That is why I don't post stuff for the whole world to see without using a beta, unlike that particular Suethor. If a large part of the charging involves grammar and it is coming from me, you know it has to be bad.

Thank you for helping me out. If it doesn't involve grammar, I will be happy to read over something for you later.

3. Bad Grade by Sugarplumjellygum
Hermione goes to Snape's office to get him to change her Bad Grade and leaves with something worse.

"Absolutely disgraceful, Miss Granger. I expect this kind of tripe from Potter and Weasley, but..." Snape let a ladleful of Brawler's Broth trickle back into the cauldron and gaver Hermione a sneer. "I suppose we must make allowances for those of us with... less background... in the Arts."

Cue sniggers from the other side of the Potions Dungeon and outraged growls from the Gryffindors, mainly Ron and Harry. Hermione said nothing as Professor Snape scribbled a mark on her paper and let it fall back to the desk.

"He can't do that to you, Hermione! Your potion was loads better than Greengrass's or Zabini's, and they both got full marks!" Ron's outrage carried over onto the Grounds, where Hermione had accompanied him and Harry for the afternoon.

"It's not that bad, Ron. I mean, he always gives the Slytherins better marks than us. It's useless to get upset about it at this point, really, and it's only a P..."

Harry snorted, glancing up from his own Potions paper, which he'd been absently shredding from the corners in the whole walk, having gotten a P as well. "What's wrong with you, Hermione? Since when do you let Snape push you around like that? I mean, he as good as said right out that you're less of a witch because you're Muggle-born!"

Ron nodded furiously. "That's just-- that's not even a bad grade, that's... that's a Bad Grade!"

She frowned for a moment, then abruptly turned back to the castle.

"Wait-- Hermione! Where are you going?"

"Where do you think, Ron?" she called over her shoulder. "I'm going to get that grade fixed!"

Harry and Ron stared at each other for a second, shrugged, and turned back to the lake.

She paused at the Potions Dungeon. Why the panic? She'd done this in Charms at least three times, asked for a clearer explanation on an essay, talked to Professor Sprout about practical grades' weights against writing and theory... just because this was Potions, and Professor Snape, and... and...

Unable to finish the thought in a way that didn't involve leaving, immediately, Hermione took a deep breath and rapped sharply on the door.

"Come in," drawled the Professor. How does he manage to make his -voice- sneer? She grimaced and walked into the dungeon, determined not to let him upset her.

He glanced up for about a millisecond, and then returned to his desk. "Ah, Miss Granger. Here, of course, to complain that you are undeserving of ever being graded as less than perfect."

Hermione took a deep breath. "Well, sir, I really just wondered why my potion received a lower grade than anyone else's, even though there were other potions far less like the finished product, and it didn't seem like mine was that far off..." She trailed off. Snape hadn't looked up once, and continued to write on his parchment without pause. There was a long silence. Finally, he finished writing.

"Untrue, Miss Granger. Neville Longbottom received a D for his potion, and three Hufflepuffs from the period before yours-- ah, but you are a high and mighty Gryffindor, and no doubt inquiring as to the grades of the lower Houses is beneath you."

"Professor, we don't have ti--"

"As I was saying, Miss Granger," he continued, with a look that might have been a glare, if there had been any actual emotion in it, "Your main problem seems to be that you received a lower mark than any of the students in your own class-- any Slytherins."

There was a bit of a pause, as Hermione struggled to find the right words to answer this, without using words like 'favoritism' or 'unfair' or 'slimy git.'

"You may not have noticed this, Miss Granger, but your potions are not always deserving of full marks, despite the fact that you are a Gryffindor, and, therefore, can apparently do no wrong."

"I wasn't asking for full marks, Professor, just--"

"However, (and if you keep interrupting me, Miss Granger, you will receive a detention), if you had paid attention to anything I said in the beginning of the class, rather than scolding your friends for their juvenile doodles, you would have understood the theory of what I was saying, as Zabini did. Your potion may have looked the part of a Brawler's Broth more than his, but his was closer to the meaning of the potion itself."

"...Oh." She started to speak again, but Snape motioned for the paper, and she handed it to him.

"Now get out of my classroom, and next time you bother me outside of class, you will simply receive a detention." She glanced at the paper. The P had been revised to a T. "I do not have to explain my motives to you, Miss Granger. Goodbye."

She fled.

"So, did you get that grade changed, Hermione?"

She shot Harry a glare and swept past him up to the Girls' Dormitory. He looked back at Ron, bemused. "What'd I say?"

And I forgot to log in again. This is going to be annoying.

I haven't seen any major problems, only minor spelling and grammar stuff. Okay...you capitalized every instance of the word 'Mission' even when it's not neccesarily a PPC mission, you used a comma instead of a question mark right at the beginning (What about the cat), and a few more pronouns would probably make things flow better. The execution scene is slightly vauge, and you're using commas too sparsely (or is that an effect of the Sue on the wordworld? It would be interesting if it was). Other than that, it's really very nicely done; in my veiw, the mission's funny, the characters are well-written, just fix the mechanics and it will be really good when its posted.

1. Nighttime Thoughts by kissesdarling - Stargate: Universe
   Chloe's thoughts on a mad Scotsman. One shot.
   
   Chloe was alone in her room. It was late and she hadn't been able to sleep. Her dreams had been invaded by a mad Scotsman and she had to do something about it. She crossed the room to her favorite chair and got herself ready. A few deep, calming breaths and she was ready.
   
   She started out slowly, getting in the zone. She could almost see her Scottish tormentor; strong and black with a kilt and an eye patch. She began to move faster. She could feel that she was close to her goal. Finally, with one twitch of her finger... Boom! Headshot!
   
   She sat back and looked at her computer screen. She had done well. She had killed the Demoman with just one shot. Now it was time for bed.

Ooo, why thank you!

Hello there!

Um, potential agent, Red vs. Blue, Fairly Odd Parents, Portal, a lot of others, and marble cheese.

Thank you!

No I am not calling you a Ho. That is a greeting. Moving on, Welcome to the PPC! Are you a boarder, or potential agent? What are your fandoms? And what is your favorite cheese?

Now that my questions are done, have a cloud (marble). It is very luckey.

I must say that was one of the funniest books I have read. It doesn't compare with THE GUIDE though.

I have finished Miah and Cali's next Mission, and I am looking for a beta.

I always need particular help with grammar.

This is set in NCIS, but the charges all relate to writing like a chimpanzee, so you do not need to have even heard of NCIS to make sense of this Mission.

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdAslkokw01-ZGdrN3ZuZDZfOGhtZ3RtY2Nt&hl=en

"Of Glitter and Men" In which Miah makes kissy noises, Cali rescues four children, and the NCIS continua is saved from a fluffy, wangst!Sue and her plague of glitter.

I would love to beta read, and I should have something that needs beta reading pretty soon. Send it to me whenever.

Sorry, forgot to log in. The 'Anonymous' is me.

Can I call the last one?

I bet lots of you have no idea what I'm talking about. Well, you're going to learn something today!

You see, here at the PPC we enjoy a concept known as "fun," and one way to have fun is by playing games. Fill the Plothole is game in which someone (this time it's me) posts a selection of lulzy summaries from fanfiction.net. Then someone else (you) chooses one of these summaries to use as the inspiration for a ficlet that makes sense of the information (if you can call it that) in the summary--you fill the plothole. These ficlets can be long or short, funny or serious. They can include PPC characters or not. It's entirely up to you and your muse, so be creative!

Yes, you may fill the plothole for a summary that someone else has already used.

Yes, you may fill more than one plothole.

No, it may not be rated higher than PG-13/Teen.

No, you do not need Permission to play this game.

When posting your reply, it is helpful to include the title of the summary whose plotholes you're filling in the subject line of your post so that the readers know what they're getting into. It is also helpful to include the full summary at the beginning of your post.

If you want some examples from previous games, you want Gundamkiwi's FtP LiveJournal. Sadly, she no longer updates it, but it's still fun to visit.

And now, the plotholes gathered by me and Barid, sorted by fandom:

With which you can indicate that certain things belong together.

And there's the option of putting in a master post. Which is kind of like the index page I have on my own site.

That was fun - it really would have been impossible to read as a simple MST I think. A mission was appropriate.
