Oh, I very much like getting new episodes from the past! I especially like the opening, with the Courtyard being nearly unknown to most of HQ (and being much smaller than it is today, at least as I see your description?), as well as the Elm foreshadowing its later role by already starting to spy on agents. I also liked the acknowledgement of the PPC's rapid staff explosion, and the distrust of the color pink making Vemi's dress unique enough for Dafydd to comment on; I suspect there's a bit more color variety in HQ nowadays, such that heads wouldn't turn at seeing pink quite so much.
I was amused at Dafydd's complete lack of understanding in the Potterverse. Even knowing how Tolkien-focused were the earliest days of the PPC—both in-universe and out-—it's still funny to think there was a point in time when Harry Potter was such a tiny, fledgling fandom that one of the PPC's poster-boy agents was entirely unaware of it. It's interesting how attitudes and common cultural knowledge change over time in a society!
The moment that most amused me was the REBECCA gag. It's interesting to see Suvians so devoid of personality that derailing the fic makes one blue-screen and the other just have the same reaction to danger over and over and over . . . I'm insterested to see what shenanigans Jenae is going to get up to in the future. (Unless that's already been published, and I don't remember?)
The only typo I saw is a mini-Aragog:
"'Crucio! Confringio! Colovaria? No? Nothing?'"
It's actually "Confringo" with one "i," though I admit I had to look it up to double-check . . .
—"REBECCA! doctorlit is leaving a review on the Board!"

I really like the improvised Anti-Lustin substitute! Sometimes you just need to remember something very disgusting.
I also appreciate the distinction between OCs and Sues. ^^
Surprised canon wasn't bent enough for "Accio, House-Elf!" to work, or something like that.
And yes, that is SUCH an adorable ending!

I just love how good you are at describing the physical presence of people in a room! Jacques sounds like a really tragic figure, and I'm sure Zeb will be able to help him with that given how happy and bubbly he usually is. I love seeing them together!
Any chance at some hurt/comfort later? I'm a real sucker for stuff like that. Thank you for all your great writing! It's HARD to write without reviiews to drive you forward.

I really like it when characters "meet cute," and what's cuter than this? Chenille sounds adorable inside and I'm sure he'll learn to stop unlocking random cabins as this romance blooms.
I think you might want to work on your punctuation and grammar, though; there are a few missing spaces and confusing punctuation ("Whats you're name,"?). I'm anxiously awaiting your next update!

It's great you liked the epilogue - I'm glad I managed to write a more touching moment after the more comedic stuff I've done before.
Also, thanks for the supplies, my agents do need it after this. I'd like to say this is the worst fic I'll ever have them mission, but... hoo boy. I have a talent for finding the squickiest stuff. Just wait and see what I have queued up for their next assignment.

Just from reading the mission ... your poor agents.
I'm sending them some Bleeprin and alcohol so they can forget all this.
The epilogue was nice and heartwarming, and I think this is overall a good mission - though I don't really have detailed SPaG comments or the like at the moment.

The night was dark. Chenille walked sneakilythrough the spooky trees towards the cabin he knew people were in. Dumb teenage girls who did not know he was there.
He got there the lock was locked but he had a special key that nobody knew he had and unlocked the door There was a many gasp from the girl but chenille just smiled and put a finger up in a shooshmotion and they stayed quiet in feer as he shut the dokr and locjed it again.
"None of you are allowed to talk,"He whispered huskily as he pulled out a knife.
"No! one of the girls yelled, movjng in front of them with her arms out to protect them. "I will protect my friends!!1!!!"shesaid.
Chenille gasped! She was so pretty, with shoulder length pure white hair and silver eyes that shimmered. She was wearing a dark hoodie with purple patternsand gold trim, and had on steal toes boots and jeans.
"Whats you're name,"? He asked.
"Merula" she stated.
He couldnt kill her, she was too beautiful and defiant.
Chenille left by unlocking the dokr and leaving, ruby eyes ablaze with feelings he had not felt before. He would find her again.

So what's the next step? by

So at the time of writing, this is getting bumped down the front page of the board at a reltaively quick rate, so I just wanted to try and follow up on what has been said here.
By my count there's 8 people who have said a Formal Warning, 4 people who want something done and are happy with a warning or a ban and 1 person who has said a temporary ban. Is this enough of a percentage of current PPCers to ask one of the PG's (or whoever it is that should do this) to start a thread to formally vote for a Formal Warning to be given to Minh (as that seems to have the majority at the moment)? And if not, should I just drop this for now? Or is it even enough of a percentage to just given Minh a Formal Warning straight off the bat.
I don't normally pay attention to how things like this start, so any suggestions and comments would help. But I do believe that something should be done and this shouldn't be forgotten.

Jacques 3rd person POV
Jacques Bonnefoy was a highly prolific Broadway actor who perfomred in Hamilton as Hamilton and Wicket as Fiero and Phantom of the Opera as the Phantom. He was so good at his job he could do three performances a year.
Right now he was wearing a dark blue blazer a white v-neck t-shirt and black slacks and black polish dress shoes his socks were the only fun part of his outfit they were neon pink leopard print with little microphones which showed off how fun he really was. His underwear was tight sparkly briefs that emphasized his man package and his blonde-highlighted hair flopped nicely in his eyes making him look like a proper bad boy.
He was on top of the world with his carreer and women and boys too were lining up to kiss him and he was making literally millions of dollar a yearbut something in him seemed to be missing, something more meaningful than the yats and the supermodels and the diamond-garnished wines. No, what Jacques wanted was True Love.
He had been watching the boy for some time now whwnever he came into the theater before he'd grab some coffee and see the cute boy in the leather coat that never seemed to notice him despite how famous he was he had papparazzi chasing him down the street. No, he was always too enamord in his books and that peaked Jacque's curiosity.
So Jacques ordered his usual chai mocha green earl bubble tea and sat across from Zeb the boy and introduced himself. They shook hands and gigled and Jacques felt his heart fill to burst. This one was the one, he just knew it.
"Do you have anything going on today?" he asked and Zeb shook his head.
"I'm sort of freelance so I take jobs as they come in"
"Want to come watch me rehearse?" Jacques asked. Zeb nodded.
"Sue I guess." he said and got up and Jacques got up holding out his arm and Zeb took it and together they walked across the street to the theater for Hamilton.
A/N: WOW ok I thought I'd be getting better reviews than nothing but whatever I'm not writing this for you I'm writing this for ME! R&R anyway because it's the NICE THING TO DO OKAY?

Zeb was a luxury, which is a kind of pokemon. He was also a wizard, which is a kind of magician. He usually looked like a blue lion with yellow eyes but right now his favorite shapeshifting form was a human with grey hair and yellow eyes.He was wearing a black leather jacket with silver zippers, a blue and yellow stripe shirt, black skinny jeans and tall black doc martins. His underwear was silk black boxer briefs that pressed tightly against his skinny jeans.
He sat in a coffee shop sipping a caramel doubleshot mocha with whipped cream. Zeb loved sweet things, he had a big sweet tooth, he never knew when to stop with the sugar but luckily his metabolism was so fast he never got fat. He had a sexy scar over his right eye and a torn ear from the pokemon fights he used to get into as a cub. His hair was dark grey and spiked up all over and looked like an anime.
Zeb sat in a coffee shop with his drink eyes narrowed as he read his book, which was a novelization called Eragon. Zeb loved the movie and the book was a mostly faithful retelling of it but it changed some stuff that he wasn't sure how much he liked but it was still really good.
A nother young man slid into the booth across from him and Zeb looked up and felt his heart began to beet faster.
"Hey there," the man said and held out a hand. "Jacques Bonnefoy."
Zeb felt his face heat up as he returned the handshake "Zeb Luxry it's nice to meet you"
"*Very* nice to meet you" Jacques said and smiled. "Ive noticed you come in here every week and finally worked up the nerve to say hello."
"Hello."
"Hello."
They giggled.
"So you come here a lot then?" Zeb asked thinking that now he thought about it Jacques looked rather familiar.
"I come in here before work" Jacques said nodding. "I'm an actor singer, I work at the theater across the street" he pointed to the Bradway theater and Zeb gasped.
A/N: so I can't get over how cute Zecques is in cannon so i had to write this coffee shop AU!! R&R and remember flames will be used to make toesties! <3 <3 <3 peace!

The opening was really well done.
I liked the bad cowrite and the "she's not bad" bit about Selene.
The whole bit with Daffyd not knowing much about Harry Potter was a quite nice gag.
I also wonder why Vemi thinks truth potions are crude.
I also now recognize this fic - it was one of the ones Nesh linked a few months back I think? It was quite terrible.
The "SLAM" bit is a good way of showing what's presumably a rapidly switching pair of scenes.
"Hi, we're here to kill you, so if you give us a moment we'll be right over." is just a funny line and it's nice to see what's become the formula these days (which is usually much sneakier) get not used.
The "REBECCA" thing and her being a paper cut-out are fun.
The butchered Unforgivable and the magic ring was interesting.
"Do we have to de-wolfy him?"Daffyd, leave Wolfy McWolfface alone!!1!!
"Yer a wizard, Vemi." - well, I wasn't expecting that.
Or maybe Vemi isn't a wizard? Since she's needing to make with the stabbing.
Well, the bit about the partnership not going through makes sense.
... that's a concerning author's note.
Overall, you've done quite a good job, especially on the having funny bits part of a PPC mission and the having good character interactions bit. The goings-on were funny, and there was some nice plot development in there for Daffyd and Vemi (though I do want to know if she's a wizard or not).
It's nice to see a slightly different flavor of assassination scene that usually happens these days, and more people should try that ... I should try that, really. Though I need to actually find a fic for Mission 2.
And from what I can tell, the badfic was bad more in plot than in SPaG, so having it mostly told, not shown, is likely fine.

Let's have another little character game. by
on 2019-09-07 20:31:00 UTC
Reply
Please consider the following: two of your characters with one core personality trait swapped. Just the one.
As an example, let's look at two of the characters I've got some of you might be familiar with: Ce'rana of Borune, DTE(g) agent from the Belgariadverse (Tolnedran Dryad), and Melissa Marlowe of the Multiverse Monitor, who's more or less from World One.
Let's swap Ce'rana's need to come off as mature with Melissa's fear of 99% of active-duty agents.
On Melissa's end, not much would change, at least on the surface. She wouldn't be afraid of the people around her, so she would be much more open about where she works and what she does there. She'd turn into a much more efficient reporter, though her disdain at the thought of working for a tabloid would become infinitely more obvious - but then, she might go and start a much more serious side column instead, just to prove that she can. It would also probably be a lot harder to get her flustered by going off-script.
Ce'rana, on the other hand... for one, she would be a lot less prone to stabbing her partner, in large part because there would be less need for stabbing in the first place - but also in large part because now, she's afraid of him, which would completely change their relationship. As it is now, they consider each other annoying burdens and will eventually move into adoptive-sibling territory; Ce'rana being scared of Alex would make it much more likely that she'd bite her tongue and do whatever he says to avoid him getting angry with her. And while it hasn't come up yet in stories, she keeps a ledger of what they 'owe' each other, from money to favors to kindnesses. Remove her need to be mature and the ledger becomes a lot more messy; add a fear of everyone around her and it probably disappears in its entirety. A fear of active agents wouldn't necessarily change her backstory at all, but no need to be mature would - she probably wouldn't have stayed in Tol Honeth at all, instead choosing to either move to Tol Borune (her father's ancestral home) or the Wood of the Dryads (her mother's), and more likely the latter - which means she would probably both still believe in magic and be significantly less greedy, and an even better archer than she already is.

While I personally am not part of the phandom, I also know of a series of works (though I'm not sure if they're by the same author) which are, in a nutshell, horrifying.
They're all called "The (insert word) Fic" (The Cherry Fic, The Hamster Fic, etc.) It's extremely disconcerting. And terrifying.
