I figure if they're taking it down because they realized how awful it was, it might amuse them to see it immortalized and lambasted. Or it might be horribly embarrassing. Either way, it makes the most sense to just ask.

The author of this atrocity is in the habit of sticking author's notes at the end of each chapter. In one, they've spelt their own name wrong. What sort of mini would that make?

sproking a fic that's gone by

I always make a copy of the fic if I intend to do a mission. That way I don't have to go back to the fic every time I need a quote.
I usually don't do missions of deleted fic. Only twice so far, and in both cases I found out the fic was deleted after I had finished the mission. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much point to do a mission for a deleted fic.

If it's been deleted, it presumably can't have any effect on the canon any more, so my instinct would be to leave it be.
Of course, if you'd published your mission of it and then it had been taken down, you could pat yourself on the back for a job well done, because your agents had clearly done such a good job the fic was totally removed from the multiverse.

- point. I wouldn't say it's necessarily wrong, but in this case it might be better to leave it. Especially since there's the question of how you're gonna spork it if the fic's gone. :P Seriously though, it'd seem a bit pointless, and beyond the embarrassingly textbook nature of it there wasn't much to work with, with that Stu.

I faintly remember a mission in which the agents were endangered because the fic was being deleted - was that The Original Series? - but I think that ought to be the exception. Up to you, and no one would blame you for it, I think, but in your position, I'd leave it be.

Remember the Redwall badfic I reported not too long ago? Well, the author realized how bad it was and took it down. Would I make a bad sport of myself if I did a mission for it anyway?

Given this sounds like a hideous mischaracterisation of the alter ego of one of our agents, I rather suspect Trojie and I may have to tackle that one.
