I found one the other day in this post (http://disc.yourwebapps.com/discussion.cgi?disc=199610;article=258385;title=PPC%20Posting%20Board) (help how do I hyperlink on a message board) that I think is the first, and have so classified it as a mini-Titan. Forget bacon and raw eggs, this bad boy eats live pig and screaming fangirls. (Unfortunately, as Titans don't have a digestive tract...yeah.)

The main issue here is the various different ways of spelling character names in English; Hanji(Hange), Yeager(Jaeger), Levi(Rivaille), and Krista(Christa), for example. How do we determine whether a certain spelling is just the author's preferred transliteration or an actual error? If someone misspells a Titan Shifter's name, are we gonna have to deal with a mini-Abnormal?

On a lesser note, I think it'd be kind of funny if mini-Titans came in different sizes to reflect their canon counterparts. (more flagrant/bizarre misspelling = bigger mini-Titan) How this would work given that most minis are about three feet tall and Titans are measured using meters is for someone with more patience than me to calculate.

What say you all? (Oh, also, have we confirmed a fanfic explosion?)
