PPC: Protectors of the Plot Continuum.
Not many people know of us. Those that do doubt our existence. To some, we are merely myths, born to scare the writing impaired from......well, writing.
We were created to serve and protect the fanfiction community from various scum, ranging from bad slash to plotless trash. However, our main job is to defend the fandoms from the heinous assaults of the most dreaded creations of all time....Mary Sues.
For many years, we have been at peace, dealing with only the odd fic here and there. Recently, however, one of Tolkien's greatest piece of literature, Lord of the Rings, was exploited as a movie. The result - a massive horde of writers, most of whom should be disallowed to be near any type of word processor or a computer in general. To make matters worse, most of these so called writers are suffering from hormonal overdrive. The PPC has been stretched thin, trying to protect the LOTR from the sudden torrent of Mary Sues. Newly trained recruits are being sent out on missions that the most experienced assassins can only dream about. Not all return.
We of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum are the last line of resistance against the onslaught of bad writing. This is our story.
