Seriously wanna make a YGO mini by darkscythequeen on 2011-12-01 17:25:00 UTC Reply

Okay, skulking around the PPC wiki, noting a couple of YGO badfics I really wanna claim but can't because of the 'No Permission' thing, I decided I'm gonna try my hand at an OFU.

There's no official YGO-based OFU, and wondered if this too warranted Permission.

If yes, then to whoever has done missions to the Yugiverse, please make one.

If No, then I'd like to push to be coordinator of it, since I've had my fair share of tort- I mean, tutoring badfics before on FFNet.

I'll get into the subject of submitting my permission request once I get a little more accustomed...It's really hard to read through the original when you've no love for LotR at all.

Sorry your post got ignored for so long! Here's what I've found with a little bit of research.

This appears to be the most recent Yu-Gi-Oh! OFU, last updated in October:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6134663/1/OfficialFanfictionUniversityofYuGiOh
In chapter three, it names mini-Kuribohs (minibohs, as it calls them) as the mini for Yu-Gi-OH!.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6134663/3/OfficialFanfictionUniversityofYuGiOh

This does contradict our wiki, which says the mini is the signature monster of the misspelled character's name (which is clunky and complicated, and doesn't address non-dueling characters), but I can't seem to find any mention of this appearing in a mission or OFU anywhere.
http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/Mini (way down at the bottom)

So, to get back to your original questions, OFUs do not require permission (they once did from Miss Sandman, but she's not active anymore; might still behoove mentioning her in the opening author's note) but it's generally bad form to make a new one for a fandom that already has one.

By extension, the OFU I linked above seems to have created the first specific Yu-Gi-Oh! mini, which generally means that's the one the PPC will adopt. (I did find another, older OFU, but it only mentions minis once as mini-duel monsters, which is too general to be of much help.)

Anyone, am I in the wrong here? Can anyone find the source of the mini type mentioned on our wiki?

I actually got the title wrong by switching mini with OFU. but thank you. At lease I know where to drop off some authors in desperate need of rehab...once I'm through with them.

Thanks for the help though. I meant to reply sooner, but for some odd reason my internet acces is being very finicky on when to let me get on the board.

Is it possible that the PPC tech standard of breaking down has infected my computer? O.o

Hm, I know there's an entry for it on the Minis page, but past that I don't know.

A mini could probably be a Kuriboh, or (as the page says) the signature monster of whoever's been misspelled.
