Division of Bad Het



The Division of Bad Het is part of the Department of Bad Slash. It was formed to deal with all fics in which the overriding offences stem from poorly written heterosexual relationships. The flash patch of this division is an upside-down rubber duck.

The reasoning for Bad Het being a division rather than a department are as follows: Het fic can either be canon/canon or OC/canon. Het badfic will often, therefore, involve either a Mary Sue or a Canon!Sue and in that case will be assigned to the Department of Mary Sues. In the past, het badfic has been assigned to departments based on its other offences, or taken on by pairs of agents who were just irritated enough to do it.

The Department of Bad Slash seems the ideal department to oversee this new division as bad het and bad slash have many similar offences: rapefic, hurt/comfort, bad lemons, bad biology, horrific squick etc. Agents of the DBS are therefore already suited to working in the DBH and probably already carry all the medication they require for the job, a great saving for FicPsych and Medical.

The Gladiolus, the disgraced former head of the DBS, has been assigned to head this division as part of its reintegration into HQ.

The first pair of agents assigned to this division are Gypsy Roberts and Katie Cray.
