Protectors of the Plot Continuum

Protectors of the Plot Continuum, often abbreviated PPC, is an organisation dedicated to the elimination of badfic by using a cross between sporking and an RPG. 
It is divided into various departments such as the Department of Mary Sues and the Department of Bad Slash. Writers rewrite existing stories by inserting themselves as characters called Agents, who kill Mary Sues, exorcise OOC characters, and otherwise restore the story universe back to its original state. However, the organisation began with Sue assassinations, and is certainly most well-known for that.
The first PPC stories were created by Jay and Acacia, mainly in the LotR fandom. See: PPC: The Lost Tales.
PPC has since developed a number of spinoffs in a many different fandoms and expanded into a sort of shared universe with overlapping characters and a complex backstory.
==The Canon Protection Initiative FAQ ==
The intro: "Many a fangirl has wandered onto our board or our respective livejournals, questioning and complaining about our canon-defending work. “Why was my fic targeted? I’m nice!”, “If you don’t like it, don’t read it!”, “I wrote this at one in the morning!”, and other phrases have become so common that it’s not worth our time anymore to construct spur-of-the-moment essays about literary points that we’ve already told a thousand other fangirls a thousand other times. Consequently, I posed a set of frequently asked questions at the Board and got a host of replies. While I am the compiler of these replies, I am not the sole author—credit goes to the entire Board. Anytime a Suethor, fangirl, or curious newbie asks these questions, feel free to direct them here and save yourself the trouble of a lengthy reply!

==Criticism: Mary Sue==
In April 2010, the tactics of PPC and other Sue-slayer groups were criticized in an essay by boosette, Storming the Battlements: or, Why the Culture of Mary Sue Shaming Is Bully Culture. The post, originally at boosette's Dreamwith journal, is no longer publicly available. Boosette stated that the group's stated actions bore "a remarkable resemblance to the bullying a goodly number of us experienced as geeky misfits, growing up." An Answer to Some Accusations, accessed January 3, 2011; WebCite (post contains quotes from Boosette's original post, Why the Culture of Mary Sue Shaming Is Bully Culture) The essay sparked a huge debate among fans and the article was widely quoted. 
From astridv, quoting directly from boosette's entry:From blythe025, also a direct quote from boosette's entry:PPC members took issue with Boosette's interpretation of the Mary Sue issue, arguing that they were not shaming writers or women, but rather calling out bad writing: "Calling “Mary Sue” in the PPC is telling a flat, unrealistic, stereotypical character exactly what she is.."
