Subject: I don't think I could ever be certain, but...

Well, it makes a huge difference that I've been in the fanfic world for long enough that I know how good and bad it can be. That makes a huge difference.

I'd certainly be flattered by goodfic; I think I'd enjoy be surprised by the creativity and detail that people create and expand on. Alternate universes would be interesting, and if there's a lot of angstfic or "fix-it" AUs, I'd be pleased because that means I've pulled their emotional strings the way I wanted.

As for badfic... knowing what I know, I like to think I'd accept it as a necessary evil - after all, twelve year old fanbrats will be thinking it, even if they don't write it down. Seeing X-rated bad slash with two of my most beloved het characters would probably make me shudder, close the window, and contact the PPC for some bleepka.

Seriously? I don't know. I'd make as many flat ("No, he IS straight") statements as possible to dissuade the "but there's no PROOF!" types, and make it clear what types I don't apperciate, but beyond that...

I doubt I'd make a Rice or McCaffery-style flat rejection; it just forces them underground. At least if they're writing something, they're still interested enough to buy more books and send me more money. ;p

I really don't know. I'm very protective of Agents Sedri and Iza, and I find myself getting prickly when offering them for a cameo because I want to make sure they stay in character. Thankfully I can trust everyone here to look at my missions and do their best.

Finding that PPCers were patrolling badfic for my continumn would make me feel very, very honoured.
