Cool! I figure I run across more author wraiths than I do Sues, so I should get a lot of use out of that. Just have to remember to keep certain canon objects borrowed from the library. That librarian doesn't charge late fees does he?

So long as it is not a walking stick bug, I'm good to go. Probably the only person ever to have a phobia not of all creepy crawlies, or spiders, or something normal like that. No. I get stuck with a phobia of stick bugs...

Welcome! Have an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs but author wraiths and those pesky spambots, as well. Use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

It's always the quiet ones, don't you know?

Always good to meet someone who's interested in good fiction, and in helping good fiction. Help yourself to a venomous arthropod!

Hmm, I think I might like being a threat. What made you pick me, though? Pads, for one, can be rather unnerving if she puts her mind to it, and all you need to do to turn Trojie into a banshee is point at someone and say "they mucked with biology!" (;p)

Anyway, filled out and returned. :)

My favorites are the X-Wing series. My all time favorite quote comes from them.

"Pretty," Donos said. "What do we blow up first?" Star Wars X-Wing: Solo Command, Aaron Allston.

I also have read the novels of the original movies, the books that come between them and just after episode 6, a couple of the ones in chronological order after Truce at Bakura, and the x wing series. I prefer the Allston/Wraith books to the Stackpole/Rogue books. I also read both Han Solo trilogies and the Corellian trilogy. The first trilogy isn't worth much, but the second is a truly worthy book. I keep aiming to read more of them to further the story, but have never gotten around to it.

Welcome to our humble abode. It's nice to have another Tolkien, Star Wars, and Firefly fan. Which of the Star Wars novels do you like? I've read a bunch of them, and they definitely vary in quality.

*facepalm* Of course there is.

Aren't there some canon characters that know about Mary Sues and PPC? Maybe the central consciousness, if there is one (I don't really remember from the movie.) could know about Mary Sues?

You're right; that would be interesting.

The whole "Tonks has to transform into Sirius to be with Remus" has got to be the funniest wank-point ever churned out by HP fandom. Oh, the lols.

*pokes* Squishy.

Anyway, lovely to see you here! Have a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. Weclome to the Board.

And now you shall never escape, mwaha... =D

I'd say that once you got rid of the Sue it should snap back into forgetting all that.

Since that's what is intended to happen once the Sue is deadified, the canon snaps back to normal...

You can add them on the unclaimed badfic page if you think they need a good MSTing or PPCing. Or link them here under this topic you've just made if you want; making another topic right after this one isn't such a good idea, it bumps things off the first page.

I see you've already stumbled onto the wiki. ^^ If you have any sort of IM stuff you're welcome to add me if you have any questions or whatever:

fairladypsyche for AIM and YIM and with @hotmail.com for MSN, and JulyFlame (at) Gmail.com for Gtalk and my email.

There's also the PPC chatroom here. There's generally a few people in there in the evenings for North America, and you're welcome to join in.

Would this be a good place to start a list of candidates for missions?

Hello. I just found the PPC through an Indemaat story ("NSIS") on FFnet. I read it thinking, "It's about time somebody took on these terrible stories!" Then I followed back to her website and finally to the wiki. This is a great idea.

I've never actually put pen to paper for fanfic, as I have always recognized that most of my fanfic ideas are not something I'd want to publish. I'm not a shipper, just not very good at making an episode-like story that I feel meets standards.

I do write original fic, so if I ever get the nerve up to request permission for an agent, then I'll have something to point to.

I like to read episode-like stories, episode tag stories, and good character pieces. I have read AU and slash that I liked, but not much. My favorite characters are pretty solidly het in canon, so it always involves a lot of OOC, usually by making one or sometimes both of the characters a whiny little *word meaning female dog*. I have seen it done well, though.

I don't much care for shipper stories, I have seen a few well written, but most of them are vastly OOC, usually in the same way as above for the guys.

I read a lot of NCIS, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis. I have not seen the last season of Stargate SG-1 yet, though I'm working my way up to it on Netflix. My favorite characters to read about are Rodney and Shepherd (not shippy) from Atlantis. Tony only or with Gibbs (not shippy) from NCIS, and Daniel from Stargate SG-1. I love to read fics focused on Jonas from SG-1 too, but goodfics including Jonas in a meaningful way are one of the rarest things in fanfic, I believe. These are not really lust objects, more just my favorites to focus on and/or torture. (torture of these characters not being entirely unheard of or even really that exceptional in canon)

I have been known to read X-Men in the comic verse, mostly because I had a teenage crush on Gambit in the cartoon. Yes, I was weird. I've read very little of the actual comics. I have checked out the official site for summaries of the plots, so I have some idea of what is canon, but not enough to ever think about PPCing one of them. And there a lot that really, really deserve PPCing.

I watch Bones and House. But I don't read their fanfic, because House and Bones are rare and specialized geniuses, and I figure that very few fanficers have the intelligence/knowledge to write an episode-like story in that world. I also love Firefly (hated Serenity), but gave up on the fanfiction a long time ago. I like Star Trek-the original, Next Generation, and DS 9. I have also read the larger and less annoying of the novels such as Spock's World.

I am a big fan of Tolkien and certain Star Wars books. Anne McCaffrey is my favorite author. I especially like Pern and Petaybee. Actually, I like all of her stuff I have read, and I have read approximately 80% of the total, which is impressive when you consider she has written more than 100 books. I have never gotten into fanfiction for Pern though.

I have read and liked Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl, and the Warriors. Percy Jackson is next on my list after I finish up with Warriors.

When I first heard of fanfic as a large presence on the internet, I fell into some really, really badfic from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I have really never been back to their sites. I don't know if this is or was very common, but the stories I ended up with had Faramir (my favorite character from the books) as a terrible weakling/victim, modern terminology/concepts spouting out of Hobbit mouths, and/or Legolas was, uh, far from noble, etc. Harry and Snape are in love (like in a sexual relationship regardless of the fact that Harry was supposed to have been 12-13 at the time. It was disgusting.

Anyway, I look forward to reading more PPC missions, and maybe someday creating an agent myself.

Season 3 episode 3 "Irresistible"

This episode first introduces Lucius, played by Richard Kind. The character is annoying, obnoxious, loud mouthed, rude, and overly intimate (not so much in a sexual way, though he does have something like 5 wives-more in a I know everything about your life and you want me to way.)

Yet everyone loves him almost instantly. Not just loves him, but would die for him, would protect him from any insult or discomfort-however slight, and pines for him whenever he is gone. Everyone except Shepherd who has been shown to have an awful cold since before Lucius shows up.

Lucius turned out to have some kind of formula that sort of intoxicated anyone that smelled it. It was sort of like a love potion that worked on everyone around the person taking it. Shepherd kidnaps Doctor Becket and keeps him long enough for the effect to wear off and Becket to work his magic (medical magic) to negate the effect. People were not particularly happy with Lucius when they sobered up. Especially not the people of his home village.


Also, the 5th season episode 4 of Stargate SG-1 titled "The 5th Man" involved an alien that exuded a chemical that made a person coming in contact with it susceptible to the suggestion that the alien was in fact someone they knew and had good reason to not kill. In the case of this episode that the alien was a relatively new 5th member of the team. I don't think the alien really counted as a Mary Sue (well Marty Stu-it took on a male persona), as the only reason it did this was because the Jaffa were tracking it down and trying to kill it. It eventually fessed up, and tried to lead the Jaffa away so the team could escape. They used the distraction to kill off the Jaffa and save the day. The alien went off to a rendezvous with others of its kind to continue hiding from the Jaffa.

I think Lucius definitely counts as a Marty Stu though. His Stufluence was mighty strong.

Ooh...I don't know.

How would you even go about neuralyzing the thing? You can't exorcise it, because it doesn't sound like he was under the influence of a posession sue. Maybe if you connected somebody to the Big Ol' Treebrain through their convenient neural hair-tentacle, and then neuralized it... no. You'd have to neuralize every eye-posesssing lifeform on the planet, and... no, that wouldn't work, because Eywa clearly stores data in her neural network...

The difficulties and/or impossibilities of neuralyzing the planet may make it unavoidable to have the entire planet aware of the PPC. But equally, having an entire canon aware of the PPC would (probably) be really bad. (but admittedly interesting.) Either way, the Sunflower is going to administer serious pain in a you-ward direction.

Nice to see somebody else who saw Avatar.

. . . Just came up in my mission. Okay, so I've sort-of halfway completed my first mission(second, but first punishment), and one of the Na'Vi canons did something interesting while I was charging the sue. He'd connected to a Tree of Voices just minutes before I neuralyzed the cast to make them forget plant!Sue(there's a story there, I promise), and I was wondering... Do I have to neuralyze the entire freaking planet now, or can I just have the entire damn thing, along with, Hades forbid, Eywa, be aware of the PPC? That'd be interesting. . .

I loved your story and the minis. Next time you have some NCIS minis floating around, I would like to adopt one. I run into a lot of misspellings in it.

so I guess they are all yours.

Have fun with them.

Blank end line for editing ate it.

You forgot to list the Department of Implausible Crossovers! *flailflailflail*

Otherwise, cool survey. {= )
