Subject: There aren't that many people actively writing missions, either. Also, re. minis...

For the record, I'm with doc on the subject of creating minis from constructed fics. It just kinda feels like cheating to me.

I figure the entertainment value in mini-spotting is discovering what silly spelling errors crop up naturally. I'll grant that "Mcikfy" was based on a true story, as it were, but in general, if anyone can "find" minis by getting a friend to mash their keyboard on purpose and have those count equally, that lessens whatever value minis have.

Personally, I don't think it's all that much to begin with; certainly nothing worth going out of one's way for. But that's just me.

ETA: I forgot to add, I think there's a reasonable compromise to be had if any minis from a constructed fic are marked as such on the wiki. That way, people can easily tell "real" ones from "fake" ones.

~Neshomeh also wonders why a constructed fic was needed if the fandom is so popular, but realizes there are reasons besides lack of material.
