I suggested it as a possibility to Our Noble Volunteer. This one may or may not be worth it, though. She's kinda wimpy and unfortunately seems to be receptive to the 'Sue's advances. With some quite extensive re-training, perhaps. My Agent Tatharien was a fic recruit, after all...

There isn't any sex or anything and I'm dubious as to whether the Abhorsen in question is intended to be Sabriel, Lirael, or an OC.

So I gave up on the NaNo aspect and just wrote as I usually do. My fic's only about fifteen thousand at the moment, but it's much better quality.

Are you sure? I don't think we can PPC parodies, so if you want to report it, better make sure.

Even for a parody, this is too much.

Those were the three people I'd come up with for the original Permission Givers. No wonder there's no room in my mind for studying and stuff like that, my brain's full of useless PPC trivia. :P
I think the PPC Board is an awesome--and usually untapped--source of writing advice, especially for something with established tradition, like an OFU. I just also think that if anyone's going to extend authority over OFUs to the PGs, it should be the illustrious Miss Cam herself, instead of us trying to place limits on something that isn't ours. Of course, I run everything I write past hS for approval, but, you know, that's because he's my husband. :P
The Ten (or however many, I know the PPC does get a little carried away with lists sometimes. XD) Commandments of OFUs sound like an excellent idea that would basically solve all of these issues. :D

Miss Cam was one of the first three PGs, along with Thalia Weaver and GreyLadyBast, after Jay and Acacia.
But I think one big thing is that a lot of OFU-writers are also PPCers. What I was trying to get across was that while OFUs are separate entities, it's usually a good idea to check out with other people first before going ahead, even if it's only to ensure that there are no blunders like creating more than one per fandom.
And when it comes to checking things out around here, it seems that a lot of people's natural instincts are to turn to the people who give go-aheads, e.g. the PGs. Admittedly not a great idea, but maybe from now on we can just give anyone looking to do an OFU the basic advice? The OFU Commandments, for example, or something entertaining but informative.
"Thou shalt credit Miss Cam for creating OFUs" etc. etc.
I'm rambling. *shuts self up*

Permission Givers were just for PPCings (I feel like Miss Cam was even one of the original PGs, but it's been a while, so I could be making it up). OFUs and the PPC are one in purpose, and there's a wide overlap in the respective fanbases, but we are separate.
I think the main thing about OFUs is that there should only be one per fandom. A lot of people were starting up more OFUs in LotR and Harry Potter, and it was not okay.
