For being receptive to feedback. It always makes me happy when new people handle themselves so well. ^_^

This may seem like hypocrisy, but it's generally not a good idea to let anyone else tell you when you're ready to show your work. If you suspect there's something left to do, you're probably right. The reverse is true, too: if you think there isn't any more you can do, there probably isn't--except for edits. There's always room for cleaning up messy sentences and making stronger word choices and such.

...Until you brought it up. So yeah, drawing genderbent agents sounds like a good idea to me.

A good read, the genderbending made me laugh, heh.

And Neshomeh, you are not alone!

Although I guess it'd help if I actually made my Agents wiki articles. And y'know, finished writing their first mission.

My brain has been scrambled at several times. Mine usually reboots, but starts to do something roughly approximating Hex's "Divide by Cucumber Error" routine...

One of the flowers made her take up a temporary post at another Department. Haven't read the fic where this happened for a while, so I am being deliberately vague.

So I have been at work on rectifying the problems. Luckily DevArt has an "edit" tool. I probably shouldn't have posted the rough draft, it's just that others *coughSISTERcough* were pushing me to submit last night...

Thanks for the feedback, and I will get right to work!

Do you think that fic was written by a guy? It seems a lot like male fantasy to me, but as I am not a guy, I can't be sure.

Anyway, excellent sporking. This may be the highest concentration of non-assassins I've ever seen in the field, which was amusing. And... Drake's tail... it made me laugh, even though I'm not sure it's physically possible. ^_^; That boy has no shame.

~Neshomeh, who would be tempted to try the genderbend out, too, just to know what it's like.

PS: Is anyone else now seriously tempted to draw/make dolls of their agents as the opposite sex? 'Cause I say let's do it!

There's actually little to no quoting of the original badfic in the Original Series, if I remember right. Mostly they just paraphrase what happens in the badfic in such a way as to highlight how ridiculous it is. The humorous paraphrase is a skill I'm working on in my own missions.

~Neshomeh, possibly one of the least prolific writers around as compared to others who have been around about as long.

(will look up the definitions later and see which, out of curiosity)

No, it really doesn't. Whlst reading it all I could hear was my brain wailing 'these are real people! Why are you doing this to them?!'

Remember that above all else, the PPC is meant to be funny. So you may want to work on getting your sense of humour back before trying again.

As for the quoting... Neshomeh's point was that it's a lot more interesting to read what you've written than to read a badfic -- which, of course, is bad, by definition.

So yeah. Practice your agent interaction and avoiding long quotes, say a little more on the Board (I've seen what you said to Sedri, but it's fun to ramble incessantly about things you know nothing about! Not that I'm a great example these days), check up on PPC proceedure as described in, at minimum, the Original Series, and try again in a little while.

On the positive side, not that that's particularly negative, your agents do look interesting, and their interaction (what I read before I started skimming to check how much bold there was) looks good.

hS

..that the point Neshomeh was getting at is that you've put great chinks of the fic itself in the mission. When it's as NSFW as that (although I'm not suggesting this is gospel, I am after all but a newbie) I don't think it's really necessary to have all the explicit detail there. You can sort of skirt the issue by having either reactions or just by removing the excerpt and describing events less explicitly.

It also isn't necessary to have that much of the badfic itself in there, so far as I'm aware of. Although I might be barking up the wrong tree with that.

I seem to recall his voice breaking during the filming of LWW and his sister having to do some of his lines. Whether our agents would know the difference between hebephilia, ephebophilia and paedophilia is another matter. Whether the author realised James McAvoy is in fact married to a 38 year old woman is also another matter.

And that needed much killing.

Know nothing of the fandom but the name, but that's okay. Still much fun!

I wasn't aware I was doing that... Ye gods.

I can still edit it, so I probably will. My sense of humor has seemed to atrophy in recent months, which is probably the School's fault. I was also unsure about the consoles, and I needed a slapstick gag...

About the "lawl", It was just a joke. I am not affiliated with ICHCb in any way.

... so it'd actually be ephebophilia or hebephilia, not sure which. Doesn't make the fic less gross by any appreciable degree, though.

I've been writing PPC fic for almost three years now and my agents haven't gotten any older in that time. Or wiser.

so it apparently rebooted in lolcat ...

For that matter, so is the connection to Discworld. Most of the characters Harry meets are Expies of Harry Potter characters.

You're better than the Sues, you know.

That fic was revolting, though. Paedobloodyphilia.

This time for Agents Veridian Green and Stevius of the Department of Character Protective Services - James McAvoy, of Mr Tumnus fame, is having some inappropriate flashbacks about one Skandar Keynes.

Warning: not really for the fainthearted, even though, as usual, we did our best to get rid of the really ooh nasties. Skandar's fourteen, in this. So, yeah. Paedophilia/chan. Avoid if it's going to make you want to remove your own brain afterwards.

Not if you already have permission and the agent in question belongs to you. If said agent does not belong to you, that's another matter.

~Neshomeh

I don't know about the other PGs, but I'd prefer to see a lot less horrific rapefic-quoting and a lot more funny agent snark, of which there wasn't much. Also, the last time I checked, the consoles didn't force the agents through the portal. It just doesn't work that way.

And, "lawl"? On a permission request? Seriously?
