Nocopy is basically the state of a website that doesn't allow the copying and pasting of text. While the Pit had copyable text for a long time, it gained nocopy in October 2013. The newcomer badfic source, the Circle of Lemmings, also disables copy-pasting by anyone but the user who created that particular post. Because PPC missions (not to mention MSTs, and any other review or spork that wants to quote the original story) need to quote a badfic by necessity, this makes a PPCer's work difficult.
