Divisions of the DMS

The Department of Mary Sues has a great many Divisions. The majority of these are simply based in different fandoms, but there are some others.

Lord of the Rings/Tolkien Division
The division Jay and Acacia worked in. Also the fandom with the most recorded Agents.

Bleach Division
Agents in this division are Agent Kana and Agent Cerrin. They are the only agents in the Bleach category, and so haven't assigned themselves, but work on Suefics and bad slash in roughly equal measures.

Doctor Who/Torchwood Division
Agents (formerly) active in this division are Karma and Nemia, who are primarily concerned with Mary Sues in Doctor Who, and Tasmin and Emma, who primarily deal with Torchwood.

Torchwood is a spin-off series of Doctor Who. For that reason many Mary Sues see it fit to write crossovers of the two series. For that reason the originally separate divisions of Doctor Who and Torchwood have also crossed over. The agents involved are keeping their fingers crossed that their response centers will not be thrown together as well.

The Eclectic Subdivision of Advanced Species
See their own page for details.

Freelance Division
This division is comprised of Agents who work in multiple fandoms but stay firmly in one department. It is not to be confused with the Department of Floaters, which can deal with any kind of badfic (Mary Sues, but also bad slash, implausible crossovers, and others).

Agents active in this division include Maria Falcone, Crispin Reed, Sedri, Iza, Kitty Callahan, Alec Trevelyan, Miah Arthur, and Cali Still.

Miscellaneous English Classics Division
The Misc. English Classics was a division that seems to have been subsumed by the Sub-Department of Rare Fandoms sometime around 2003. The division dealt with everything from Shakespeare to the Bronte sisters, as long as it was English and set in the Regency or earlier. The only known agent was A. Gallowglass, who was forcibly removed from the division and transferred to the Pirates of the Caribbean.

Mossflower Division
The Mossflower Division is a Division of the Department of Mary Sues which deals with Suefic set in the Redwall Continuum. It is known as the Mossflower Division as most of the action in the Redwall 'verse takes place in Mossflower.

Division of Multiple Offenses
A relatively new division. See the Division of Multiple Offenses page.

Pirates of the Caribbean Division
Agents in this division get to deal with many historical inaccuracies and misconceptions about the Age of Sail and the Golden Age of Piracy. The popularity of both the film trilogy and the actors therein made this division's workload skyrocket from nothing.

Star Trek Division
It is well known that, in the Real World, Star Trek was the first continuum to become particularly subjected to fanfic (although the Sherlock Holmes books were prone to it long before). The name of Mary Sue comes from a Trek 'fic. It is therefore reasonable to assume that the Star Trek Division of the DMS was the very first division, a theory supported by the fact that it has its own Division Head, the Hippie Sequoia.

Sub-Department of Rare Fandoms
One of the more quiet divisions in the Department of Mary Sues as most of the fandoms this division deals with were originally produced long before most Suethors were born. Which again comes to show that Mary Sues have no sense for history or the classics. Another reason for the quietness of the division could be that the only agents that haven't managed to retire yet, agents Allison and Tasmin, are constantly going on missions.

Supermarionation Division
Quite a quiet Division this, as it deals with the works of Gerry Anderson, whose fans are often older, more mature women in their 30's and 40's rather than squeeing fanbrats. Its two Agents Rose Marcone, and Bex Radley are often seconded to assist in other canons

Video Gaming Division
A blanket division which deals with all video games, the Video Gaming Division was only recently constructed, and has been headed up by Agent Arti for much of its short life. Currently, Agents Lunac and Liadan and Agents Danny Richardson and Laura Dukes are also assigned to this division. Due to its recent development, the Video Gaming Division has had nothing to do with the older Divisions that dealt with Legend of Zelda. However, due to the Zelda Division having its Agents currently MIA, the Zelda Division has been absorbed into the Video Gaming Division.


 * Zelda Division - In March 2004 HST agents Kara and Moni of the Zelda division went on a mission to sass out Link's improbable twin sister. They must have gotten lost on the way back because they were never heard of since.
