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.

How would the PPC handle... by

...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.

Something even more horrifying, if possible... by

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....)

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....

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.

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.

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.

thanks for the info.
P.S. I found harry X Voldemort fic titled "Stockholm Syndrome."
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5354879/1/Stockholm_Syndrome
AU/OOC when a badly abused Harry becomes Voldemort's prisoner, the man uses kindness to break him. Will the BWL fall prey to the tenderness and care? Or can he be rescued first? warn slash, child abus/non con, HP/LV
Already added it to the wiki. Someone's going to have fun exorcising this

I gift you with a mutant strawberry; if it grows legs and wanders off, you can still eat it. Or keep it as a pet. Whichever you prefer.

The other day I sent a PM to one of the One Piece betas on the pit but I haven't gotten a response yet, probably because he has a lot on his plate already. Should I wait for him to respond or should I go ahead and find someone else?
