Hope you enjoy it here!

Erm...well hi. I've recently become addicted to the PPC, starting of course with the wonderful founders' stories.
So, mostly I just wanted to say hi and stop lurking so that I could actually meet you wonderful people!
I haven't laughed this hard since the first time I watched Life of Brian. Thanks for that!
So, yeah, that's about it.

Yours in PPC solidarity,

Helen of Pylos (the other Helen; no I don't know Paris).

A troll, in fanfiction, is written intentionally to show up the stupidity of the badfic out there. Unfortunately, most are as bad, if not worse, than the actual badfic. The general view of most people is 'Why waste your time writing intentional badfic when you can be writing goodfic?'

And don't worry about feeling stupid, no-one's going to bite your head off for asking questions here. ;)

May I ask what a 'troll' is (and I feel stupid asking, but oh well)? It sounds like...something that's intentionally written badly?...

I shall still go read it and laugh though...or cry, depending on how painful it gets.

Never seen this before, but it sounds quite...not good. I think I'll go read it, as long as it doesn't do anything bad to my mental health (which is already pretty bad thanks to certain Feanorian muses). ANYWAY...being new and all, I can't offer much help in saying whether or not its been PPC'd, but I'll definitely go read it and be appaled by those evil Mary Sues.

First true hideous badfic.

... near the start of the 'fic, and he/she/it should be in there. Unless Legal decide otherwise.

There is a character replacement in Seven Eighths. How does one go about finding the actual canon?

If there had not been so much Weasley-bashing, I probably would have laughed my head off, and then some. Cutting off hair for an ultimate sacrifice indeed. Have you seen her version of the epilogue?

Incidentally, have you seen "Rover and the super walmart" by grrittss (or something, I can't remember)? That was my true hideous badfic, and, like you, I was enraged. There was no formatting AT ALL, no spelling, no PLOT. And all the characters were severely OOC - I think Voldemort shot Harry with a shovel. This was reported on Pottersues as well, but I didn't realise what 'Troll' meant at the time. I thought it was below the 'Toxic' rating, so yeah. When I looked at said fic again after realising it was a troll, there was nothing that could spoil the sheer st00pid. It was hilarious.

I've done the same thing. Ever heard of "Harmony Hippogriff At Hogwarts?" It was the first true hideous badfic I'd seen, and at the time I was just totally enraged. The author's other works were of like kind- total character replacement, bashing of her hated characters, urple prose, and calling Hermione "Mione," which somehow especially bothers me.
Like you, I found out for sure it was a troll when Pottersues reported it.

A very famous troll, at that. As in, quite possibly the most famous troll in the HP fandom. It was reported on Pottersues a couple of years back before being uncovered as such - that's the only reason I know it's a troll. Most of the earlier reviews are actually funnier than the fic, if you look. I don't blame you for thinking it's genuine, though, it had me fooled for ages. :P

Sorry, I sorta only remembered that as you said it. I'm still unused to using Wikis, and for the most part, I adopt a 'Look, don't touch' policy in case I do stuff something big up. Like press the big shiny button that says 'Self Destruct'.

I guess it's really up to you. It probably depends on how severely out of character the characters actually were. Something completely opposite of what they're character would do, and supposing there were a lot of them, would easily be enough to charge 'em I reckon.
I tihnk you can also charge them for making the Canon Characters disappear, if it was set in an important area to those characters, or at an important time. I.e.: Battle of Helm's Deep and Aragorn wasn't there, stuff like that. Then of course, there is the charge for just being a 'Sue. Maybe you could kill them, and claim you were 'nipping it in the bud' before they could turn into full-blown 'Sues?

In Februari/March 2007 I started PPCing a fic that at that time was not yet finished. There are two Sues in that fic (one male, one female) and the canon characters barely make an apparence. And when they do they seem quite OOC. The mission has long since run a dead spot, 'cause there was no more story. I initially deemed it too early yet to kill the Sues 'cause despite being Sues and gross deformation of character of a diversity of military institutions (and not researching whether there is actually moon or sun light at 4am on 24 august) the number of crimes against canon are slim. Just that each of the canon characters did one thing they would never ever do, and it isn't specified whether the canons have age 20 years or the story is AU.

So, I'm caught in a dilemma. I read what I had written so far again this weekend and it's one of the funniest missions I've ever written and it be a shame to let those jokes go to waste (and there is only a very slim chance I will ever be able to use the one about the date and moon calander again). There's plenty of evidence and grounds to charge the Sues with being Sues, not doing research or even take grammar lessons, but there's hardly any canon breakage (unless you take real world military as part of canon (which you can considering the canon supposes it is part of the real world), 'cause then there is plenty of breakage).

Any thoughts on whether I should go ahead and charge the Sues, or just forget there ever was this mission? Did I mention that one of my agents is quite psyched about encountering her first male Sue?

I've been through most of the Harry Potter Agent Mission Listings, but I don't think any of them picked up this story:

Title: My Immortal
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2828044/1/My_Immortal

The author has everyone thrown so far out of wack, I think that the actual canon characters have been kidnapped and replaced. Not only that, by she's changed the entire school. Has anyone seen this one being PPC'd?

... is that anyway can make alteration to it. So if you think something should be taken of the Unclaimed Badfic list, take it off. If others don't agree to the change they will put it back on.

But the fic itself just doesn't seem that atrocious to me, from purely a Ranma fandom viewpoint. I was reading through the first chapter quite happily before I got distracted by something else. So, while it is uncanonical and a bit Mary Sue-ish (not to mention totally random), I wouldn't call it horrible. Maybe Not-so-good!fic, but not bad!fic. That's just me though.

I didn't make it in, apparently. Ah well.

Having Eva units without Adam and the Second Impact is like a fic where Ranma never went to Jusenkyo but turns into a girl when splashed with cold water anyway.

...like any other character, as they're written by *coughnothackwheeze* writers (unless Factory-bred) and are sustained by their (lack of) imagination and belief in their own stories.

C - $)0.02 MN (moneda nacional, AKA the mexican peso)

I've been thinking of transferring my agents to there. They're actually rather well written. Not great, but decent. It's all a little... odd but this IS set in Nerima. Admitably, I'm not familiar with Sailor Moon or Eva but Akane's Keyblade seems more like a crossover parody than anything else.

Because they might want to take a look at the work of this author.

Among other things, there's one fic where Ranma is a senshi, Kasumi is digi-destined, Nabiki is the Fifth Child (and the Second Impact never happened) and Akane is a keyblade master.

It's been finished since the week of the Gathering, actually, but I hadn't posted it until now. >.>;;

So, um, here it is!
