I found another Sue who pulled that one. Another granddaughter of poor Galadriel's, and is named after her... because isn't "Galadrianna" a k3wl name? She has auburn hair, too.
On an unrelated note, oh noes! He threw her clothes into Mount Doom! Teh horror! Horror and h4xx0rs!

Hey there, all PPCers! We discovered a particularly godawful pair of LOTR fics a few months ago, starring a rather obnoxiously overpowered Sue named Talana Tathdel, and decided to spork them. The first is being given the mission treatment, and may not be released for a while yet, depending on how we progress.

The second, however, we decided to MST instead, and just finished with. Therefore, as a slightly early Generic December Holiday present to you all, we're publishing it for you to (hopefully) get a few giggles out of.

And, to be completely honest, to stop ourselves from gutting it any further. It was probable that, given enough time, we could've found a riposte for every single sentence, but it might have got progressively less funny as our brains slowly liquified.

As an advertisement/warning/both, Here There Be Excessive Amounts of Gutter Humour, And Monty Python Jokes Aplenty.

We invite you also to savour the knowledge that we hold what are presumably the only surviving copies of these now-removed fics, and have taken every liberty possible with the original text.

Enjoy.

She's rearranged her livejournal and made a new one to host missions. The wiki links haven't been updated yet. I'd direct you but I'm not entirely of the new location myself.

I have a livejournal account but when I try to read your missions off of the PPC wiki I am linked to a page that simply reads "Forbidden." If you only want certain people to read your missions then how can I gain access?

It's just that, aside from being amateurish, I don't think there's much wrong with it. Yes, all the Weyrs are made up; yes, he's a HAD; yes, there are some little things off... but I don't think Stanor is a 'Stu, at least not yet. The spirit of Pern seems to be there, as far as I can tell.

I'm gonna leave him some concrit. Hopefully it will help.

In my experience, charge lists can be incredibly boring, and I think there are two solutions: either seriously cut back on them, or cut back on commenting on the charges during the mission so that the charge list is something new. I think either way is valid as long as there are enough major charges in the charge list to justify the kill. It's not so important to get every little thing in there.

Well, I dunno about charging Sues, cos we don't do that in the DBS. But we exorcise for things that haven't previously been mentioned in the mission. We also pick up charges from bits of the fic we don't actually have our agents bother watching. This is generally explained by Agent Pads being impatient and reading ahead in the Words.

I'm working on a mission and it suddenly occurred to me that I have read the badfic:
once to determine it was mission worthy;
a second time to write the mission;
a third time to make note of the charges I missed by skipping some of the scenes in the mission (to avoid it getting too long and boring).
(a fourth time when I decided that I should write the charges mentioned in mission not on the same list as the other charges, so I can distinguish between them when charging the Sue).

In all, I have read the badfic at least three or four times. Which, considering the number of "if you'd read this a second time you would have spotted this" kind of errors makes me think is far more often than the badfic author. If she had read her story as often as I had, I would probably not have been reading it (at least not more than once).

Nough about that. I have a question too. What are the positions of boarders on charging Sues at the end of the mission with things that were mentioned in the badfic, but have not previously been mentioned in the mission?

For instance, I usually only charge the Sue with the things that I have mentioned in the mission were bad. I generally don't throw new things at them. (one time I did, and my beta pointed out that that charge had not been mentioned yet). But in this current mission there are quite a lot of things that have not been mentioned in the mission, but are chargeable things. Such as:
- referencing a season five event, while the fic should be set season three at the latest to avoid contradicting itself;
- A character -- that should know better -- claiming that arsenic killed almost instantaneously (as far as I have been able to find out: symptoms of arsenic poisoning are a lot like cholera symptoms, and that did not kill instantaneously. Unless, by that you mean slow and painfully);
- trying to shoe horn everyone into a relationship (in canon these people all broke up, so it would be the reverse of breaking up a canon pairing);
- excessive attention to detail of what female OCs are wearing.

These are but a few of the additional charges. Should I charge the Sue with these, or leave them out because I have not previously mentioned them in the mission?

Well, I've once more gone wandering at ff.net and found a few horrifying things to share. I've got two claims and three badfics up for grabs. All of the three up for grabs are Harry Potter, one of the claims is, too, and the other is Dragonriders of Pern. All ratings are those the original authors gave.

The ones up for grabs are:

Someone To Love Me by Yaoiluvergirl. M
Harry’s twin is chosen as the Boy-Who-Lived and since that night, life’s loveless for him. How very cliché, but one that I like. SLASH. CD/DM/TR/HP Abuse,Neglect and Potter, Weasel bashing. Dont like Dont read. A Vamp!Fic. You have been forewarned.

It's only a song by voguesque-mia. K+
What happens when a new girl arrives during Harry's sixth year? What will happen when she gets involved in the lives of others? Will she ruin the Trio's friendship? Or make it stronger?

Silvermoon Rebels! by 4421marr. M
What if there was a fifth house in Hogwarts? Read about the adventures first-year Luna Lovegood gets herself into with her friends in Silvermoon! Yeah I suck at summaries. Rated M for language and possible lemoney situations in the future. Also romance.
<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5587528/1/SilvermoonRebels">http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5587528/1/SilvermoonRebels

The ones I'm claiming are:

My computer kept contracting the same motherkriffing faux-antivirus virus, sometimes downloaded automatically -- I had to disable JavaScript.

At least, if you caught somthing truely nasty, like I did. Still haven't gotten around to wiping it via BIOS.

Erm... get well soon, laptop? Or am I wishing for a Christmas miracle?

~Neshomeh

I'm going to go ahead as planned. Thank you, all of you who replied; and I really appreciate the votes of confidence in addition to the votes. {= )

I promise to treat the OS very lightly. You'll hardly notice a difference. Your Inner Editors might, especially those of you whose Inner Editors are more Outer Editors... but other than that, you won't notice a thing.

OD13, could you drop me a note on hotmail?

My address is letohaven @ hotmail . com

Put the MSTing on LJ, not devArt. DA get pissy about explicit content, and if this doesn't qualify as explicit content I don't know what does.

The sonic fandom is a gold mine for these things. All you have to do is go to the pit and have it display only the M rated fics.

Heres another one: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5519373/1/Vanilla_Cream

Nice find. Hope this goes on the legendary badfic article

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5587344/1/motherknowsbest
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.
