Actually, with the OFUs... by

Miss Cass and I just jumped in and started writing ours with no permission from anyone. We gave Miss Cam credit in our disclaimed, of course, but other than that nothing. I think having the PG's blessing is probably a good idea though.

OFUs and communicable disorders. by

I might be wrong, but I think you still need permission from Miss Cam to start an OFU. If not from her, then probably from the Permission-Givers here.
As for #3, I think it would depend on the Sue and the circumstances, but you'd have to be careful with something like Agent Smith--your average Sue would probably manage to "rewrite" him and maintain her personality and appearance while gaining his abilities. We do NOT want a Sue version of Agent Smith running around the Matrix. O.o Same goes for zombies/vampires/werewolves/etc. The Ranma 1/2 springs would probably just be an excuse for her to be more speshul. Nine times out of ten, you're better off just killing her.

I don't check my Gmail very often, and I wasn't aware that that address was involved. I checked, though, and the lines are there, so I'll get on that as soon as possible.
By Hotmail I assume you mean Yahoo. I did get Lucien's revised lines, too, but I've been trying to bribe one of my male friends into doing it. >.>;

For 1, I'm not sure. I guess you should wait for one of the veterans, they have more experience. I think it might be possible though, because I remember a new POTC OFU I saw on FFN.
For 2, I think mini-Grunts wouldn't actually be able to keep fanbrats off Canons, being small and squishable. Hunters or Juggernauts might be a better choice... Besides, there are going to be a lot of Generic Normal Grunts running around anyway. The whole Covenant army's probably going to show up.
For 3, yeah. That would be very, very bad. I do NOT want to see Gravemind under Sue influence, or superpowered Rakghouls.
For 4, the Flood seems like a very painful and fun way to kill someone. Just make sure to glass the area or chop up the corpse with an Energy Sword afterwards, because a Sue Form would probably be quite hard to kill normally. Taris death sounds quite fun, especially if it's recorded somehow to watch later. May I also suggest feeding one to Nihilus or throwing one in the Pit of Carkoon? Sarlacc is a bit slow though. You'd have to portal forward a few years to make sure the Sue is dead.

- Would it be possible to make a new one? We could say the Sues used a Malachor V-esque Gravity Generator on the old one...
2.I vote for mini-Grunt. They're so cute! Of course, you'd have to avoid stepping on them...
3.On second thoughts, that might be a bad idea. If the Gravemind gets Sued, or a Rakghoul could use Sue powers...
4. Excellent. I was also thinking of the Flood, or Taris five minutes before its razing...

For 1, I think it got pulled off. That's all I know, though. I've been wondering where to find it myself, as Google is useless for that and it vanished before I even knew about OFUs.
For 2, it is very much possible. The only thing needed is an Author and a mini designation. I'm personally voting for mini-Flood Juggernaut, a very large Flood form that was cut from the final game. Mini-Juggernauts would definitely be deadly enough, that's for sure. Besides, they're the only very large not-really-sentient creatures in the continuum. Hunters can think too, you know... Check the Halo Wiki for details if you want to know more.
Not sure about 3, I have no experience with that particular situation.
For 4, I think it is allowable. Trojie and Pads did that in one LxC mission, by taking the Dino-Sues to the meteor of mass extinction and death. Oh, and execution by Rakghouls sounds very, very fun...

I think the one you claimed was the first one I put up, actually. Not one from the latest very, very large amount. Well, as far as I know, anyway.
That's good to hear about the Movie's progress. Another thing: Where will it be posted, and how long is it estimated it be?
For the last one... Somehow I forgot that the PPC is technically a Canon Universe now, complete with its own history and background. Thanks to everyone who answered this one, it got that thought back into my head.

Hmm...a few questions of my own by

Shameless plug: I also posted several bad to awful Star Wars fics. Windwalker is reserved.
Questions:
1.Whatever happened to the Star Wars Fan Fiction Academy?
2. Would it be possible to establish a Halo Fan Fiction Academy?
3.What happens if a Sue is infected with a contagious disease/cursed? A few examples would be Smith from the Matrix, the zombie virus, and the cursed springs from Ranma 11/2
4.Are Agents allowed to take Sues to a different time/place within the canon universe for their punishment? I had ideas involving Yavin IV's piranha beetles and the Taris Rakghouls...

Seriously, she has a Celtic made bow? Hope "Reighn" knows the Celts haven't made anything in a loooong time. Museum pieces like that aren't generally functional anymore.

Oh, of course! Everyone knows Rivendell is in Faerie! You just have to wander through the standing stones or under the Hill and you're there!
Silver/Sylvin/Sylvan Elves? "Jairah, daughter of, Sandros"? "Elivin"? Who thinks this is all right, seriously.

Gazebo! Yay. Blackadder, more yay!
No, no are NOT friggin' CELTIC, you hamster-begotten Mary-Sue! You have books, therefore you are not a celt, you fancypants guttersnipe.
Demon of fire? If that thing is a Balrog, I'll eat my bastard sword...and how in Elrond's name did it get anywhere near THE EXTREMELY PROTECTED Rivendell in the first place?
*snerk* She calls demon-thing "Shadow," which is the same thing abbreviation to which she shortened that poor stallion's name. The horse tries to kill 'Sues! We must recruit him!
...why is her sword named "Father"?
Stupid, stupid backstory...

Just put this up on the Unclaimed Badfic wiki page, but if someone wants a go at it, feel free... Garth Nix's Old Kingdom has a lesbian 'Sue.

Sorceress - Rating unknown
Reporter's (not author's) summary: Levaberial, known as Levy or Ria, is a necromancer. She kicks Abhorsen arse. Weird femmeslashy relationship with the Abhorsen. She has emerald (amythest rimmed [sic]) eyes and "blood red locks of blue streaked hair." She occasionally forgets to capitalize the names of the bells. Her dead ex-girlfriend Alirse had to be banished beyond the Ninth Gate by Levaberial-Sue herself *angst* for which purpose 'Sue walks beyond said Ninth Gate and survives.
Three short chapters so far, but the last was posted within the month...

- Yep, spotted them, and think I claimed one. I'm sure I claimed one that you reported, anyway.
2. Floaters get everything from Sues to geographical aberrations to slash and more. That's partly why it's so popular. Agents there can be made to take on anything. If that's what you're after, go for Floaters.
3. The Movie's getting there, thank you for asking :). Still waiting on a few people to send in their recorded lines, but storyboards are being worked on, artists are being tentatively contacted for preliminary sketches, and drawings of Agents are being sent in.
4. Once you're here, you can distribute gifts freely, so far as I've seen. Just don't give out anything distinctive that other people give out, such as July's linkage or Sedri's Transdimensional Pocket Knives.
5. I think it'd be better if you didn't, just because a lot of PPC things are pretty close to unique and it wouldn't be too great an idea to reference obscureish things like that. I'd wait and see what the older oldbies say, though.

July covered the rest, so here's my two cents on these:
3. I know for a fact there's still recording to be done, because I have to do some of it (though I'm still waiting for my latest parts). Then there's the animating. I have no idea how Cassie and Trojie plan to see that done, but art takes time, and animating, I'm sure, takes longer. Add in the fact that none of us are professionals (as far as I know), and that we're all busy with other things, and we're looking at a good long production period. So, as Farscape's Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan would tell you, the answer is time and patience.
5. I've already recommended not mixing the PPC with original work to someone else, so I'm doing the same here. We're allowed to play with the PPC as its own entity, always giving credit to Jay and Acacia for the original concept, but once you cross the line into your own original work, it starts looking like idea theft. Also, the fact that only other PPCers would likely get the references makes it kind of pointless for you if you expect any sort of legitimacy for your work.
