News from the OFUs

On occasion, things happen which the various OFUs of the multiverse should know about.

Unfortunately, most of the OFUs to which they happen are not being actively written.

That means I get to write it for them, yes?

The Ispace Wars

This cannot go on.

For too long, the elves of the multiverse - be they Eldar or House Elves, Drow or Fae - have been cruelly oppressed. In their own stories they are attacked, injured, even killed. In the OFUs, they are forced to teach malicious students - or, worse, are forced to be such students, punished and tortured at the whim of the university's' masters. And should the Protectors of the Plot Continuum class them as 'Mary-Sues', those vicious Assassins in black will hound them, hunt them, and murder them.

This cannot go on. Without the elves, the human imagination will fail. The multiverse will go the way of reality television - mind-numbing deserts of flat characters, endless seas of tedium. Without the elves, all of fiction will fail. We know - we have seen it.

We are Ispace. And we will not let this go on.

The Official Fanfiction University of Discworld

Dear fangirls, I beg your pardon, students,

As you have no doubt realised, the Official Fanfiction University of Discworld is not a joke. It is not a prank. We are not your brother, sister, friend or enemy attempting to fool you. We are not kidding. We are deadly serious.

The above sentence is not hyperbole.

Following the example of Miss Cam and the staff of OFUM, this facility will adopt the principles of Learning Through Pain in our efforts to teach you the virtues of writing good-quality fanfiction instead of mediocre scrawl or appaling drivel. You are not expected to enjoy this. Please let us know if you are, and we will attempt to make adjustments.

Signed,

The Administration

OFU-Squared Sueniversity Listing

As part of the OFU² initiative, it has proven sadly necessary to compile a list of Sueniversities to be discussed and... 'gently corrected'. More accurately, this is a list of suspected and suggested Sueniversities. Final confirmation of status will take place before any filming is undertaken. If you are the author, creator, or management of any of the linked universities, we'd like to talk to you! We can discuss why your work is on this list, potentially help you to improve it, and get it removed from consideration. OFU² is an education enterprise, after all - we want people to learn!

The Protectors of the Plot Continuum

The Protectors of the Plot Continuum, or PPC, is a trans-dimensional organisation dedicated to fighting the scourge of bad fanfiction in the places it hurts most - the fictional Word Worlds of Canon. PPC Agents, from the Departments of Mary-Sues, Bad Slash, Implausible Crossovers and more, step through their blue portals into badfics, record their charge lists, and... rectify the problems. They are the militant wing of the Canon Protection Initiative, and its most visible - and numerous - adherents.

From another point of view, the PPC is a shared fictional universe invented by Jay and Acacia way back in 2002, and since written for by dozens if not hundreds of fans. PPC authors take bad fanfics and dissect them in story form - a form of combined catharsis and entertainment.

The Original OFUDisc

Back in 2004, the Official Fanfiction University of Discworld opened for business. Four chapters in, it was abruptly deleted from Fanfiction.net, and never seen again. The staff, as revealed in the revived story, simply jumped forward in time to the present in order to reboot the university.

Did I say 'never seen again'? Well, for Chapter 2, that's true. As for the other three chapters...
