tails asks vanilla a very important question. no minors allowed.

I think the summary makes it pretty obvious what happens.

But what it doesn't tell you is that Tail's tails aren't the only thing he has two of.

Author Sin the Hedgehog also claims to be Shadow's long lost brother and have control over fire.

welcome to the PPC.

Oh.. the science department. i think we have one already.

I think they'd be treated as separate except in cases where the connection between them is relevant.

So a Dracula badfic obviously wouldn't benefit at all from a copy of one of the video games, but a Castlavania badfic might from a copy of the book. However, I'd say that in the latter case, it'd probably not be very effective unless the fic specifically violated the part of Castlevania canon that's supposed to be covered by Dracula.

I guess. >.

Jesus Christ I didn't even check the author's page. Someone search this author's harddrive, stat!

... that post was about the last thing I did on the computer before it caught something and crashed thoroughly. I'm in the library now, which is the only place I can access the internet. So /I'm/ alive, but my laptop is not.

Good to see you too, though. :P

Okay. I'll calm down. But I'm normally that crazy--I used to be one of the badfic authors(I keep one of them on my ff.net account*shudders*)
Okay. The Link. *neon sign that says "Links of Doom" pops up* For the first one -- http://esteliel.de/cgi-bin/1/story.pl?next=1&chapter=0 -- That brings you to the first chapter, and completely avoids the attempt to rationalize destroying Tolkien's canon with this story. Did I mention that they won't delete chapters, and that their are multiple oppotunities on some threads to write a PPC mission for this...?
*There's another one.* It could be even worse than the first one. http://www.esteliel.de/cgi-bin/3/story.pl?next=1&chapter=0 It's a War of the Ring interactive...horror, shall we say? The link is for the first chapter, and the results of it can be just as horrifying. There are, at last count thankfully only 316 chapters of brainmelting horror--although some of them are pretty good with the coherency and an attempt for plots...
If you like Denethor or Thranduil, or pretty much any of the canon characters, don't read unless you've got an entire case of Bleepka to yourself.

You asked a question, you were given an answer; no one's holding it against you. Believe me, we actually have to say that sort of thing a lot. Actually, the only thing you've done that might tick people off, as far as I can see, is the excessive use of exclamation marks and CAPS LOCK SYNDROME. So please don't grovel; there's no need to sound like a badfic writer ;p

That said, yes, it sounds horrible. I don't think I even want to touch it, let alone read it. I'll leave the PPCing of that to more experienced agents, myself, but for those who do want to see it, how about a link?

I think that the Dracula story is the Canon. Castlevania is an offshoot of the Dracula legend, like the branch of a tree. In this case, it seems more like the offshoot is trying to become more true to the original Canon.

To sum up, they are both Canon, but I would call Castlevania a child-Canon to Stoker's parent-Canon. The good news is that you can definitely use a copy of the book to exorcise a Castlevania fic.

I think that if you have two canons that are connected, with or without actual interaction, then they are actually part of the same root canon. That canon may not have a name, but I think it still exists.

...a canon that has been sort of 'absorbed' by another?

I'll explain what I mean. Let's say we have two canons. Initially, they're completely independent of each other. They're connected in some way, but they don't interact at all. Then, suddenly, a retcon in one establishes that the other is canon to the first one. The two canons are now... sort of... canon to each other.

Baseline example: Castlevania. Initially, it was a series about Dracula, yes, but Dracula is a public domain character. Then, along comes Bloodlines, which establishes that the 'real' Dracula story (the Stoker novel) is now part of the Castlevania story.

Does this make the two one canon? Would the PPC treat it as such? Could a copy of the book be used to exorcise a Castlevania fic?

Now, this is a fairly rare phenomenon, and I don't think the PPC has encountered it yet. I just thought it would be best to be prepared in case we do.

First off, my sincerest apologies for the last posting...It's what happens at 3AM with caffeine, homework, and a strong desire to strangle the teacher.... I'M REALLY SORRY FOR EVEN SUGGESTING IT!!!!
On another note, I found a story that could win an award for being the most NSFW, NSFB, plain horrifying rupture of canon ever--And it was started by the same author who wrote that one chapter tragedy "Anestel" and the 67+ chapter horror that is "Cuil Eden." It's called the "Interactive Legolas Slash Story." It has over 1500 chapters, at last count, and is the most fabulous example of why fangirls and incompetent hacks should never be allowed near a LotR fanfiction and a computer at the same time.
It could, just by sheer mass and complete replacement of all canon characters/locations/*everything possible,* that it possibly outstrips C*l*br**n.
Are you scared yet? You should be.... My favorite thread, just for the fact that I'm just a *bit* mashochistic with my reading tendencies, is where Legolas gets taken as a...pet-thing...by Glorfindel. And did I mention the piercings and the...creepiness of it all, and the fact that the Elves of Imaldris are really, really into modern day BDSM activities, even going so far as to have a tailor that specializes in gear for it?
Yeah, I threw up too.
Think this could become a legendary badfic, even if it *is* the inbred bastard cousin of every Choose-your-own-adventure story that you ever knew and loved?
Signing off before my head explodes,
--Honu_Wahine(and i really am sorry....)

ALL of their fic is like this.

I think you'll fit in just fine.
As long as we've got a shoehorn here somewhere...

Anyway, have a slipspace drive. I have no idea what to do with it, but I'm sure you can find something to do with the thing.

*dumps the drive on 3solid's lawn*

Yeaahhh.... I kinda get that now. PPC= Protectors of the Plot Continuum. PPC=/= outright murderers. I feel kinda bad now....but this author....deserves a swift kick in the butt in the worst way. Nazis are definitely way too overboard for that. Consider the thought abolished and dead now.
I'm gonna go hide in a corner and do homework now....

*pokes*

Welcome to the madness. And, I agree that your idea would fit quite well in the Department of Mary-Sue Research and Experiments. I'm sure they'd be glad to have you.

~Neshomeh

Yay! I was beginning to wonder what had happened. Good to see you. {= )

~Neshomeh

Nice to see you got the next part up, and I can't WAAIT fro this squick-fest to be slain!

The ONLY thing I do sorta like about it are the cute animal versions of the characters, but the Bad Biology turns me off. (Seriously, even *I* know that's not how the body works!)

As for Sakura-bunny (Cheri, is it?), maybe you could give her some highlights (what goes well with pink?), or maybe style her hair differently, I dunno.

Welcome to the board! Have a chocolate bar, won't you?

from what little I read, it didn't look like kindness. More like demanding sexual favors for crappy food

*delurks on command*

Definitely archive -- we don't want to lose the basis of Canon, and we want all the parts of it that can be found.

As for editing, sure, go for it. I trust you know how to do it with care toward the original meaning and spirit of it all.

And yes to awesomeness, but we already knew that.

Like Voldemort's even capable of kindness!

Help yourself to a venomous arthropod!

... the point of the PPC.

It's meant to be fun.

Nazis are not fun.

The container for depositing your sanity in! *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You probably won't need it here. Also, here's a luvverly buncha coconuts. You know what to do with them...

I think they're right.
