Charge

A charge is one of the things that agents of the PPC use to reason out why a badfic or Mary Sue should be "taken care of". During the course of a mission, the agents compile a list of charges. When the have enough of a certain magnitude, they are then authorized to do the Duty.

Charges are supposed to be read out before the Mary Sue is taken care of, the author-wraith disappears, and the mission is finished. It's Da Rules.

Charges run from the completely legitimate, such as throwing canons out of character, to the ever-popular subjective charge of annoying the agents. Most charges fall into the following categories:


 * 1) Canon Violations
 * 2) Character Disruptions
 * 3) Social Disruptions
 * 4) Environmental Disruptions
 * 5) Space-Time Distortions
 * 6) Technical Improbabilities
 * 7) Bad Biology
 * 8) Bad Physics
 * 9) Bad Plot Devices
 * 10) Language Abuse
 * 11) Subjective Charges

Charge lists for various fandoms can be found in Section D of the PPC Handbook.
