Sometimes they're long, can't help it. Quite a few of TOS' missions were even longer than that blighter. It's nicely written though, great job for your first mission. Keep at it and yours is gonna be a very enjoyable spinoff to read.

Concerning a somewhat squicky subject by
on 2008-11-17 05:55:00 UTC

I've been getting into the Supernatural fandom for the past few weeks, and, being a fangirl, I've been drifting through the fanfiction. And, well, I was kind of wondering...what is the PPC's attitude towards incest in fics? E.g., does it count as a charge?
See, just today I finished the Original Series. One of the last stories is a nasty fic regarding Arwen and Elrond...I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about. Now, I'm not Tolkienite, but I can firmly say that the idea of Arwen and Elrond...even as fully consenting adults...just UGH. And I'm fairly certain that most SANE, MATURE members of the fandom would react the same way. I hope. The idea of incest among Tolkien's elves (hell, in Tolkien period) is just wrong in so many ways. And if by some bizarre chance I ended up PPCing an incestuous LotR fic, I'd put "warping characters into creepy incestuous relationship" down as a charge.
On the other hand, in certain fandoms, incest ships are well-established and frequently encountered, and not just as badfic. This is why I mentioned my current flirtation with Supernatural; Wincest, so far as I can tell, is a strong pillar of the SPN slash community. Similarly, having watched the Petrelli brothers get all touchy-feely with each other on Heroes, I can't say I'm surprised to see people shipping Nathan with Peter in their fics. I could go on, but I know incest is pretty squicky for a lot of people, so I'll stop.
My question is: should incest be a charge when PPCing, even if a large part of the fandom enjoys that kind of ship?

Yup.
I finally finished it. Went through it with my beta this afternoon, fought with Freewebs about formatting and did homework.
The end result is this.
I swear the next one I take is going to be much shorter.
Hmm... wiki pages are in order now.

I have no experience whatsoever with making clips and doubt that I even have the programs, but it'd be a good collection database for us. I certainly don't object!

Oh boy...well, letseehere, the fic I was thinking as a sample involves Buffy (the Slayer) getting turned into a hooker by her mother (who's been vamped)and starts out with her having sex with various characters and mostly random men. However, the part I was going to use is actually midway in, when she is turned into a "alien breeding slave" (really, it's in the title). And then in the following chapter she becomes a stripper and has a gang bang with a bunch of demons.
And this is one of the tamer fics...I won't even discuss the Disney tentacle porn...the horror, the horror.
Needless to say, this stuff would not be for the kiddies. As a reflection, the characters I've written are also much darker then your standard PPC fare.

We could put the Movie there, I figured posting it there and on sites like Veoh, Youtube, and maybe Dailymotion would be good, but this site could be the "main" one for the movie. If we can go without Youtube's 10 minute limit we could actually have the whole movie there. Vids of HQ and the like might be tougher to do, but we can figure it out.

"As one of the course coordinators of OFUTRC, I am quite happy to give my endorsement on this project," she nodded to Laburnum, still grinning. "I happen to know that quite a few of my staff members would enjoy such a site, particularly our head chef. He could put up cooking tutorials or something like that." That said, Miss Angel disappeared into the shadows. "Fufufu..."

I'm not sure about clips, but I think we should definitely try this. I'll leave the details to someone who actually knows something about website design, but it definitely seems interesting.

Idea: "OFUTube"? by

Obviously the PPC members and OFU staff/students can't put up funny film snippets on YouTube, or it'd look pretty darned suspicious, particularly with nonhuman characters. How about the introduction into PPC canon of a site that works in a similar way, but is only accessible to those involved in the Canon Protection Initiative?
If this is a good idea, does anyone want to come up with ideas for popular clips that their agents would post?

with BeetleFire's suggestion of ellipses between phrases. And it's now in two paragraphs because I realised that I had a Monster Block O'Text.

But only if it's long sections of prose, perhaps describing action around the speaker or their thoughts. Short things can be inserted in one paragraph.

It was a rather elaborate retcon after certain other sources claimed DAVD did fieldwork, combined with the convenient fact that we already had a canonical split between intelligence and medical branches.

On the other hand, according to the Manual, DAVD does actually do field work, or so it seems. It's a bit vague, but it does mention them having agents, along with a medical and intelligence subsection. Perhaps I can shoe my characters in there after all.
