for trollfics. It was a subdepartment of Bad Parody, I think. You could look to see if any of those missions are still available and find out what they do.
I spent about an hour today reading this:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5386744/1/TWILADAGIRLWHOWASINLUVWA_VAMPIR
The (in)famous Twilight-flavoured My Immortal ripoff, and have come to the conclusion that it needs to die (I also came to the conclusion that I'm completely mad, but I digress).
I suppose what I'm getting around to asking is, is there a pre-existing guide on troll-fics (i.e. can we PPC them?) or is it just up to the (lack of) sanity of the individual?

They had no completed missions- just the intro to begin one, but not actually anything in the fic or charges within.
It involved the troll/author sitting somewhere, and they had to hunt it down... unfortunately I'm getting that crossed over with the dromes from Wee Free Men, but I'm sure it existed.
Quest time?
My first (failed) permission request I was going to kill that thing but decided that would be a bad idea for a first mission. Glad someone's planning on taking it to its (metaphorical) grave!
As to minis, possibly mini (as in smaller than regular wolves) werewolves/shapeshifters/whatever-they-are? I'm also an ex-fan who plans to have (probably crossover) future missions involving the continuum. But eh, the mini wolf is the first mini-like thing that came to my mind, if that helps you at all.
(for the minis I mean)
How about mini-sparkle!wolves, miniature wolves that sparkle incessantly, sun or no sun. :P
The perfect blend of sparkle!vamp and wolf. (And I would imagine that the sparkling would get quite annoying after a while. Added bonus!)
...has a name been established for Twilight minis? I checked the wiki but found nothing, and there will be a lot resulting from this thing!
If there's an OFU, I would consult that, but I don't think there is.
Bronwyn is a Twilight ex-fan however and I'm sure her and a few others could help you come up with an idea as for the mini for that 'verse.
Thanks for the tip, I'll ask around.
And thanks to everyone for their ideas, I think I know where I'm going to go with this! ^_^
I think a combination of the two approaches from downthread would work. First, the agents need to find the troll and get it out the fic and into its true form. Exorcism would work for that, as well as pulling the troll out of a plothole, or something else entirely. After that, the troll needs to be charged and killed. I would think killing a troll would be harder than killing a 'Sue, since trolls are big, lumbering, hulks that don't die too easily in most continua, so the agents will have to do more work than usual to kill the thing (sadly).
I've written two troll missions. I basically charge a troll the same as I would a Sue (but without the Mary Sue charge and a little more emphasis on being intentionally bad) and shoot the troll. It turns to rocks, rubble and dust after that.
Basic guideline.
1) Locate troll.
2) Determine it is a troll.
3)'There's a troll in the dungeons!'
4) Exorcise troll from the fic.
5) Resist poking the dead troll.
6) Flail and panic.
My suggestion, anyrate. I did do a trollfic mission. But my agent set it on fire instead of poking it.
