If you are the first to do a mission with a mini in it, then mini naming rights is supposed to be yours, IIRC. I have no clue about the canon, but you explained it well enough that it makes sense.

How is this possible? I thought that series was too obscure for fanbrats to get their greasy paws on! Boy, talk about really raping my childhood . . . arrrgh.

I doubt my vote has any weight, but I definitely agree that it should just be mini-people for the Cadfael continuum. Besides, can you imagine loads of Brother Jeromes running around?

where the first person to come across a misspelled name in a badfic felt the mini should be put up for adoption on the board, even though they didn't even set out on a rescue mission for said mini.

I think it's widely agreed among PPC'ers that the first one to write a mission in a continuum that comes across a mini gets to name it. (Kind of like how European explorers went around the world naming places even though others had been there first; those others weren't on a mission.) So, I agree with you that you should get to name the Brother Cadfael minis.
