Question regarding minis by
on 2008-10-09 13:27:00 UTC

I'm considering starting a non-mission piece to introduce my two Agents, before I gird myself to ask permission for a fully fledged mission, and I have a question regarding mini's-so far, most if not all mini's I've seen are mini-balrogs formed from the wraiths of misspelled LotR characters/places. If an egregiously bad fanfic in a non-LotR setting involves a consistently misspelled character/place name, would it create a mini, and if so, would it yield a mini-balrog, or something more appropriate to the setting?
(Should anyone wish details, it's a WH40k Gaunt's Ghosts badfic pulled from a pit of blasphemy that will not be named, and the error in question is one Larckin, when it should be Larkin) -
In that case... by

Noting that there is no mini species for WH40k, nor any Fanfiction University for the setting, I would like to propose the mini species for WH40k be mini-Nightbringers, and apologize in advance for any people or stars it should consume. I can provide a link to the fic featuring Taildeer, the first known specimen, if the board wishes for confirmation-I am writing a pre-mission story for my prospective Agents, which will include a briefing on known hazards and fauna of badfic.

But Mini-Nightbringers are a good idea, though.

Since Slaanesh and Nurgle appear to tacitly support badfic and badlash, so that leaves us with mini-bloodletters, mini-bloodthirsters, mini-screamers, mini-furies, mini-flamers, and mini-lords-of-change.
Another option would be mini-Squiggoths, or maybe mini-Catachan Devils. -
Actually, I belive Slaanesh and Tzeentch are the ones who... by

...patronize fanfic, as it enhances their power. Nurgle and Khorne can take Emo and Gore fic, though. I perfer Mini-Agents of Change, or if you belive that 90% of fanfic is a Lemon of some sort, Mini-Keepers of Secrets.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take mini-Nightbringers? Suitable for all genres, and won't be tempted to dive into the portals through the Warp.

What about Mini-Decivers? They seem more appropiate.

I apologise for being nitpicky, and not having anything else to add on the subject of minis, but ...
it's 'minis' without the apostrophe :) -

I am not a member, except in spirit. I tend to follow the author of 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves' in asking
'Do they [the APS] have a militant wing? Can I start one? Where do you buy balaclavas?'
In other words, I just end up following people around pointing out where they're misusing apostrophes, is all :) -

It has eyeholes and a hole for your mouth, but it covers all the rest of your face :) Good for not being recognised.
I think an Apostrophe Protection Society Militant PPC Wing is probably in order.

Any Mini from a continuum that has an Official Fanfiction University must be formally adopted from the OFU. If they do not have an OFU, then Agents are free to adopt them.

Each fandom has it's own species of mini. by

For example, at my esteemed Fanfiction University, we currently have mini-kiji. Any name misspelled in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles forms a mini-kiji. However, those aren't up for adoption yet (yes, you need to adopt them).
Other types of minis include... Hm... Mini-aragogs for HP, if I remember correctly, mini-hellhounds for Good Omens and... I'll be honest here, I don't pay much attention to the other minis. But there's lots of different types. I don't think we've decided on a WH40k mini yet but I could be wrong.
