...is that, well, he's one of the characters. He's pretty monstrous, but he's more a villain than an actual monster, if you know what I mean.
Maybe mini-Ronin?

Can I have either MaGonagall or Geroge?
you're really only allowed one, but no-one else seems to care, so have both if you really want.
In a lot of the PPC'ings I've read the various agents have numerous minis. I already have Thriandruil the mini-balrog, so I can definitely waive my claim on one or both of the mini-aragogs.
--Mystia
After all, I have three Minis myself. Take them though. I just remembered that I nicked a Balrog and an Aragog at the same time on this thread.

and I ended up double posting.
Alright then, MaGonagall and Geroge are mine. I shall feed them bacon and Sues and they shall keep Thriandruil company when my partner and I go off on missions. (eep, need to get that finished... I'm being the lazybones in our partnership. Permission Givers have probably forgotten us by now, it was so long ago)
I am so stuck on the writing sample.
I know that feeling. You have my deepest sympathies, and also some Pink Stuff, if you feel up to it.
-Mystia
it's always starting stuff that I have the most problem with. Guh. What exactly is this 'Pink Stuff' though?
"Brought to us courtesy of GreyLadyBast, Pink Stuff is a brightly colored alcohol that is almost lethally potent and leaves killer hangovers. Drunkenness ensues almost immediately after consumption, and the Stuff is available to almost anybody. Warning: Should you choose to drink Pink Stuff, you will be in severe pain for several hours until it wears off, unless you can manage to get a hold of:
Purple Stuff: The only thing in existence that will alleviate the hangover from Pink Stuff. Purple Stuff kicks in almost immediately, and it is generally recommended that you have your Purple Stuff on hand before you drink Pink Stuff. Unlike Pink Stuff, however, Purple Stuff is only available for PPC and OFUM (and other OFUs) staff members, or from GreyLadyBast personally. However, while Bast gives out Pink Stuff freely, she is a bit stingier with Purple Stuff. Especially if you’re a fangirl."

My problem is actually continuing where my partner left off. I keep being jarred by how my style is different from his so I can't make the transition between the chapters he covered and the chapters I will cover. Though I suppose that's just a matter of practice makes perfect.
--Mystia
good going! I want to read about this friendly neighbourhood Spider-Sue.
I suppose practise will make perfect for me as well, but starting things is always difficult because I take time to introduce everyone over a long period of time. Even with only two people, I'm struggling to introduce them to the readers, introduce them to each other and most importantly be funny while writing it.
...I've been wondering about the minis for a few fandoms. Namely Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost in the Shell, and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni shut up I found a Hanyuu mini and I want it. For Ghost in the Shell, I was thinking mini-T08A2, as in the giant spider-tank-thing from the end of the first movie, but for the other two, I dunno. All the "monsters" from Rurouni Kenshin are human, and Higurashi, well, really doesn't like to keep the threats visible. And as much fun as mini-Bursts Of Insanity or mini-Hallucinations might be, they wouldn't be very practical. Maybe mini-Fingernail Removers?
I agree with your idea for a Ghost in the Shell mini being a mini-T08A2.
For Rurouni Kenshin, I'm tempted to suggest a mini-Shishiou but there must be something unethical about having mini-humans. I'm not sure.
Thoughts?
...is that, well, he's one of the characters. He's pretty monstrous, but he's more a villain than an actual monster, if you know what I mean.
Maybe mini-Ronin?
No, you're right about Shishiou.
What would mini-Ronin look like? I mean, there's nothing more cute than tiny samurai warriors, but they have to be at least a little... you know... scary, despite being mini.
Mystia
Or maybe mini-Hitokiri? Little bloodsoaked assassins that run around stabbing things with swords?
...Stills sounds cute. Curses.
but you're right. Too cute. Curse you, Rurouni Kenshin, for not having actual monsters in your canon!
mini-Hitokiri is the best idea so far.
--Mystia
So should we settle it on mini-Hitokiri?
Unless anyone else feels like they can add something better?
We can't be the only RK fans on this board, can we?
--Mystia
Seeing as no one else is speaking up. Mini-Hitokiri it is, then!
I guess the fact that we had to come up with the mini-Hitokiri means there's no RKUF already in existence, doesn't it?
At least not according to the official list.
...Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
But I warn you, I haven't even worked on the PPC my partner and I started a few months ago in a while.....
--Mystia, procrastinating
I procrastinate too, but if you're up to it, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I'd been working on another OFU, but my cowriter seems to have dropped off the face of the internet.
I'd definitely be willing to do something about it. I'd have to reread some OFUs over again just to remember what they're like. Would you like to take this conversation to e-mails to flesh it out further?
--Mystia, excited
I'm at dracornadagio @ gmail.com. Just send over an email.
'Hry' and 'Ptr' came from AFF, which is notorious for its formatting with uploads. Words get merged or outright deleted for example. The last one can from FF.net, can't remember where. The others I can't remember, but they were all from separate fics. Don't worry, I didn't grab any from definite trolls because, to my knowledge, that's not allowed.
I run their Adoptions Agency. I'll take care of them unless somebody wants to adopt one. Thanks for finding them, though :)
I remember once trying to contact Miss Cam and failing horribly.
My copy of The Two Towers has a chapter where the proofreader just gave up or something. Would Isengrad contained there be a Mini and if so can I have him if he's available? If not, can I keep Argaron?
I contacted Miss Cam just over a year ago, and she said she didn't do adoptions any more, but I was welcome to take over if I really wanted to.
Isengrad is, sadly, already adopted. However, Argaron isn't, and is in fact the first unadopted Aragorn mini I've seen. You're welcome to take him, I'm sure he'll be very happy. Make sure to feed him plenty of bacon and eggs. :)

Permission is only for mission writing - active contribution to the PPC world. Adopt away :)
Just remember to feed it two Mary-Sues a day, otherwise it gets a bit miffed.
Thanks. ^_^ I'll see if I can find some Mary Sues for him.
