... for having the guts to say that :)
Personally, I didn't like Eragon. But then, there's a lot of books I don't like. And it's a published canon. That means it has a Word World. It *certainly* has badfic. Ergo, somewhere in the depths of the organisation, there WILL be PPC Agents protecting it.
If you like Eragon, good for you. It's almost refreshing to see someone say so :)
What are they?
It might show what the mini'd be for that fandom.
According to OFUA the minis for the Inheritance Cycle are mini-dragons.
Which came first, the Narnia mini-dragons or the Eragon mini-Dragons?
I'm going to go with mini-Lethrblaka, as those are rather unique to the canon, and it's easy enough to change if something happens.
Mini-Ra'zac perhaps?
But what other monsters does the Inheritanceverse have? Anything particularly iconic?
...nothing much original, except for the Lethrblaka. Mini-Lethrblaka, then?
They fit the general theme of mini-dom very well.
Narnia already has mini-dragons, so we'll find something else.
I actually like Eragon... book, that is, even people who haven't read the book think the movie sucks.... But I really, really hate Twilight.
I like Eragon as well (book only, also Twilight hate) and it's always good to see someone else who's willing to PPC the series.
So. :)
Virtual high five, Maudlin. Personally, I enjoyed Eragon, though Eldest left a lot to be desired.
Twilight, on the other hand, left even more to be desired. I read the first book, and I don't plan on reading further.
Twilight was alright, but Eragon just bored me.
Maybe I'm just weird like that?
Everybody say it with me! *chants*
I was waiting the entire book for an epic vampire vs. vampire battle, but RIGHT as it's about to happen, the author has the main character pass out, and she completely skips it! Oh, sure, LATER she describes it briefly, but come on! When that happened I had a momentary BSOD.
...biological impossibilities. What is the sparkle caused by? Do sparklevamps have some mica-rich substance running in their veins in lieu of blood? If so, what purpose does it serve? How did it get there? Sparklevamps have no fangs. Normal human teeth are inadequate for piercing skin and flesh efficiently; therefore, sparklevamps must have to carry a pair of scalpels with which they can inflict the traditional double bite marks. However, no mention is made of this.
And then there's the thing where Bella gets pregnant...

Some people also want to PPC things like Harry Potter, Discworld, Doom, Doctor Who, MASH, LotR, etc.
What's the difference between PPCing a fanfic in one of those fandoms and Eragon?
Or rather, while there may be people, even people on the Board, who don't, the PPC Hive Mind (the Porg?) has decided that It hates Eragon. And therefore that no components of It will want anything to do with it.
hS
The group mind doesn't hate it enough to totally want to run away from it.
After all, a few people have asked to PPC Eragon itself- as well as a few other canons they dislike too.
:P
But that said, yes, we do seem to have something of a hive mind, don't we? It's a fine line between camraderie and keeping to the constitution's statement that anyone can like anything. Not saying it's a bad or good thing; just something to keep in mind.
A Star Wars 'fic in which the 'Sue unexplainably has Dragon Rider ties, and spells a few names wrong. Therefore, the minis would be Eragon minis and not mini-Rancors.
That makes sense.
...then try to imagine how awful the badfic must be.
