New Spinoff in Spinoffs, by Hellga, PPC:SIELU
- The Elven Affairs Unit - "Slightly neurotic Agent Lambda protects
Elves from evil Sues."
New Buffyverse PPC: two chapters, The Ultimate Slayer and The Being of Light, a shocking two-parter.
8/24/03
New Buffyverse PPC: The
Life That Angel And Buffy Never Had -- it's a toss-up which is
worse, the plot of this Marty-Stu, or the mangling of the English language.
8/12/03 Lots o' stuff --
First, new/ish PPC:TOS chapter, To Know Where You're Going, an older story finally finished off with a little help from friends.
Second, a request for assistance -- any Farscape fans out there among
the Assassins ready to take on an Uncharted Suvian? We have a letter from
a supporter here with notification of badfic incursions there:
| To the Protectors of the Plot Continuum:
I have long followed your fight against bad fanfiction writing as a silent yet resiliant supporter. However, I must ask that you branch your organization out into the Farscape genre in order to eliminate a particularly dangerous Mary Sue. From what I have managed to gather in the thirty-nine chapter tale is an extreme disruption to both cannon and characterization, along with an extraordinarily sexist attitude toward women in particular romance novel fashion. If you have any agents who are willing to take on a Farscape fiction and right the wrongs set forth, I would be greatly appeased. You will find the following Mary Sue at this address:
Good luck. - Israfel |
Finally, the Buffyverse
Chargelist has been assembled with lots of suffering and hard work
(in that order) by Agent Rhysdux. (Yes, they're all real. I asked
-- had to ask.)
7/22/03
A new series, the Buffyverse PPC,
filling a critical gap in the realm of media fandom. Enjoy!
6/15/03
Two new PPC:TOS chapters: A
Taste of Blood and the sad fate of Gemini
Stone
New PPC spinoff in Links: the Department of Misplaced Flora & Fauna, by Elvealauregaladriel Aure.
Winterfox has updated The Mary-Sue Litmus Test for LOTR stories.
6/5/03
Agent Nath has edited "Mary Sue, Sue Mary and the
Broken Plot Continuum" and the new versions of the chapters are available
in the links below. Also, all the links should work now, but let us know
if any of them don't.
HOW TO REPORT A BAD LINK:
For this to work properly, we need to know not only what the link you
were trying to reach was, but what page you were coming from, since the
same target might be linked from several different pages. Please copy and
paste this into your email too, or it can be very difficult to figure out
what needs to be fixed.

Protectors of the Plot Continuum:
The Original Series
(relocated to
Odd Lots 5/10/02)
"Do not meddle in the affairs of assassins, for we are heavily-
armed and quick to anger. And not noticeably subtle."
A
picture of the PPC's Original Assasins, by Bold
Font, in anime style. (6/01/02)
Exiled unjustly from ffnet, here you will find PPC: TOS, by Jay & Acacia, aka Harpwire, Assasins Extraordinaire. (Currently writing on ffnet as Wunderlust.)
| THE AUTHORESSES' NOTE
We love fanfic. Honestly, we do. But changing the *main plotline* of the canon story is ridiculous. (Except in speculative AU "what-if" type stories.) And Mary Sues upstage the canonical main characters, which really should not happen. If you want to be the main character, try doing original fiction. Then you can even publish it without breaking copyright laws, maybe even get rich. But if you do that, please knock your character down a few notches from "angel". Each fanfic Jay and Acacia enter has its own chapter. The author and fic title are included in the chapter's title. Critiques go to Acacia, because Jay suffers from an inability to deal
with criticism. (even good criticism.) Flames go to anyone you like, because
they'll just be laughed at anyway.

AnyAmy gives us another team of Assassins
hard at work dealing with the influx of badfic.
| "In the tradition of Jay and Acacia, an irritating veteran
and a rookie from a desk-job assassinate Mary Sues for the PPC.
"I claim not LotR, which is the work of Tolkien, nor the PPC, which
is the brainchild of the original assassins. I do, however, claim any blue
cheese mentioned in this tale."

Division of the PPC
by Agent Rhysdux & friends
| Fighting the First Evil, one badfic at a time.
|
|
| Chapter 1. Sabella | In which Sabella -- Buffy's OTHER sister, the one Joss Whedon never told us about -- warps time, space, and the backstories of every canon character beyond recognition...in too many ways to imagine. |
| Chapter 2. Highway to Hell | Rhysdux and Ginmar must deal with Demon Buffy, Induced-Memory, Sensitive Soap Opera Stud Spike and a fortysomething Interdimensional 'Sue named Baby. |
| Chapter 3. Family ReUnion | Rhysdux and a demoness team up against Spike's godplaying younger sister, Sage. (Fashion crimes are also punished.) |
| Chapter 4. The Life That Angel And Buffy Never Had | The Buffyverse agents stop a particularly heinous 'Stu dead in his tracks--literally -- while offering a running critique of bad grammar and spelling. |
| Chapter 5. The Ultimate Slayer | Buffyverse agents Rhysdux and Honorificus have to deal with a psychotic Sue posing as Buffy, male Slayers, Kind Psychic Healer Ethan Rayne, Torture Victim Giles, possessed Scoobies and an energy being called the Ultimate Slayer in this all-Buffy section of a two-part Buffy/Xena crossover. |
| Chapter 6. The Being of Light | In which morally ambiguous PPC agents Rhysdux and Honorificus have to battle a Doppelganger Stu, a Doppelganger Sue, Childlike Healer! Ethan, Vicious Murderess! Gabrielle, the Ultimate Slayer (who finally solidifies), an annoying 'surfer dude' type from the Xenaverse and a Zoroastrian demon who became the immortal evil in the Hercules/Xenaverse. |
