I meant pulling another copy of the Canon characters from a Goodfic would only confuse the readers, and the PPC agents

Canons may confuse the issue, but there are some of them who naturally resist Sue-influence, and it might be an idea to have them help you. For example, Gimli and Eowyn from LOTR, Gaspode from Discworld and Ron Weasley from Harry Potter are all noted for their anti-Sueishness.
And I don't think you can bring the characters from the Canon into the fic per se, becasue the fic is in the Canon world. It'd be a case of either killing off the Sue and releasing the characters from her influence, or (if there are character replacements) finding the real characters and rescuing them from the plothole they'll have been stuck in.

...a PPC OFU? Isn't that slightly oxymoronic? by
on 2008-07-04 13:17:00 UTC

Still, if we can run one (which I doubt, because a lot of Agents are just too busy and the Flowers That Be wouldn't appreciate students in HQ) I'll sign her up.
But the only OFUs I know enough canon about to qualify for are already running, or discontinued- OFUM, HFA, Bel/Mal Tech and OFUR. I paged the first three before I found the PPC and realised they were closed, and I was a bit too late to join OFUR. Ah well, next year maybe?
If you really feel the need to join me in hammering Ellintiyra Lloysinthayr into a pulp, you're welcome. Little cow, taking over my head and trashing my carefully honed spelling and punctuation skills...
*puts on PPC jacket just to reassure herself that she's not really Ellintiyra*

Story: Makes-Things is Back! by
on 2008-07-04 11:17:00 UTC

It is boring in the Afterlife,Makes-Things thought one day.
Not enough babes(even though Arwen,Imbolc and {until she got resurrected} Jayacacia tried to make up for this).
I know! I'll resurrect myself!
Chanting powerful Korean latin spells,he created himself a new body clothed in black leather. After teleporting it to DoSAT,he then merged into it.
He was met by a huge mob of Babes.
The first one who managed to 'pleasure' him was Elanor Liasom. Next was Morticia(who was once morti...il he transformed himself using a magic wand). Then, Jay and Acacia; along with Selene and Narta(who was once Natro, until he used one of Daffyda's Sue Artefacts) pushed them away in order to show him their 'secret techniques'.
Once they were tired out,Architeuits and her minions picked up the slack,using all their'hidden knowledge'to
make him 'react positively' to their actions.
After that,Daffyda,Constance,Selene,Louise,Takua and Jartha used the 'secret arts' they learned from Valmiar to prove thier 'womanhood' to the Koren stud.
All the women in the PPC joined the Orgy(Except for Luxury and Maeluwien, who were being shipped together in a broom closet) and all the men turned themselves into women just for fun.
The only ones who avoided the rampant OOCness were Techno-Daan and Tess; who were on a 'special vacation' to Lond Daer at that time.
The End
~~~~~~
HAHAHAHAHA!,said Melvin,High priest of the Cult of the Smut Carver.
Now that I've created the BADFIC OF DOOM,I will use it's words of EEEVIL to increase the unemployment rate on this puny New Caledonia town to 100 percent so that everyone will leave! Then,I will take over the City and use it as a base to overrun the entire Multiverse,fufilling my beloved Melba's legacy.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Suddenly,an enraged mob of Agents and Flowers portaled in,and shot him.
THE REAL END
Bleep-products for everyone!

Personally, I didn't get so deeply involved as some of you - the literal pain in my eyes kept me from reading everything - but I've been suffering the after-effects of deliberate bad spelling ever since, not to mention the shame of giving my seven-years-younger badfic writer self a name and chance to escape the cage in back of my head. It's a painfully sharp lesson in how immature and arrogant I really was.
*snaps off some chocolate* My eyes are soothed... Nice spelling; good spelling...

My mum really doesn't understand all this either, and she's had TWO daughters delving into this sort of thing for years. When we try to explain things to her, she just smiles and nods and says she's glad we're having fun, but even if she understands the point, she misses the fun. *sigh*

If it's any consolation, I very nearly typed a few non-game things with numerals. It was... painful. And just there I nearly missed out the "F" in "painful". Ouch.

Once I got into the flow of writing as the arrogant Lady Cyskia, that is. At first I was going to have her be one of those with mostly okay spelling and terrible plot, but it just became easier and easier to spell things wrong, to use numerals and... *shudder*

Just a physical description. This is one thing that I hope the movies flesh out a bit more - I like the Susan/Caspian ship, but if they can make Ramandu's daughter a substantial character, it'd be much easier to like the canon ship as much. *sigh*

I won't read that thing (I'm about to have dinner!) but they may have just misrated it so it could slip through FFN's rules.

Though I think the more likely solution would be to contact HQ and get another agent, a friend, to come and help instead.
That said, the biggest problem of using Goodfic characters... hang on - are we talking about canons or Goodfic OCs? Because the latter would be BRILLIANT - especially if it's a well-known goodfic. If you mean canons from a Goodfic (or simply from Canon itself), the biggest problem I see would be having two running around at once and possibly being mixed up.

Artic's New Random Thought of the Month by
on 2008-07-04 05:55:00 UTC
Reply
Now, my last question was about the PPC defending fanfiction of fanfiction, which people rose to answer quite well. Now for the next question:
Is it possible, for an Agent in a particular dangerous story, to approach members of a Goodfic to help fight a Mary-Sue?
This is with the instant assumption you have been given permission by the author. To put this in an example:
'Miss Mary Sue has corrupted everyone, everyone lovers her, and would rise to her defense. Your partner has just eaten some bad meat (The Cute Animal Friend makes it's final stand) and you're on the verge of passing out. Using the Portal, you open a portal into a Goodfic, where you hope the characters can help you stablise the continuum long enough to weaken the Sue, and help you defeat her."
And that is Artic's random idea. What do you guys think?

And no. The Fayth were 'Created' in a way. A thousand years ago in Spira, they had Summoners, which indicates there must have been previous Fayth to Summon before Ifrit, Bahamut and the like came along.
I'm explaining this in the story like this.
'A thousand years ago, when Sin was born, Lady Yunalesca, daughter of Yevon, was given new information to create special Fayth, more powerful than any ever seen before. The rituals demanded a human sacrifce, and when it was complete, it was not the sacrifice's soul that was bound to the Fayth Stone, but the spirit of a God. It was a special branch of magic that bound them, one of their own forging, which meant they could not escape the bonds. It was simple chance that Bahamut, Valefor, Shiva, Ixion and Ifrit were the ones bound, it could easily have been Mew or Ophanimon. The events that took place in FFX was a way to free them from their bonds to that planet; when Sin was destroyed, they would be set free."
And that's the story. After they were freed, each of the Gods left behind a small copy on the planet, just in case their form would ever be needed again. It was these forms, which were far weaker than the true ones, that were possessed by Shuyin and forced to fight Yuna and the Gullwings.
Yojimbo, Anima and the Magus Sisters are a different branch as well. Since they were created using the old way of creating a Fayth, they are not counted as Universal Gods, but rather, as minor ones specifically given the duty to protect Spira. They were also taken captive by Shuyin, because they did not have the power to repel him, being Minor Gods.
And that's pretty much it...
Organisation XIII are the sentient bad guys of the series. Because the Crests do not like nothingness, or voids, such as Dementors, they tend to make the Crest Holder lash out at the Nobody or Dementor, and destroy them. The Crest Holders will be manipulated like Sora was by Xemnas to unleash Kingdom Hearts and give the Organisation back their hearts.
And thanks for the help! Again, it does help to get my thoughts donw in stone, and reveal areas I might be lacking in.
