I mean, really. I know there's one for LOTR, Harry Potter, A:TLA, Naruto, Star Trek, and Friendship is Magic, but how many others are there?

Question to OFU authors about minis. by

The mini-Luggage Adoption Centre is a thing, as is the mini-Balrog Adoption Centre. So for those two species of mini, adoptions are (theoretically) centralised.
But what about the rest of you? Do you claim control over mini adoption, or just let it happen on the Board when the minis show up? Enquiring mindswant to know!

There haven't exactly been very many Avengers missions yet, to be honest. Same with Supernatural, actually, although that OFU's still a ways off, I think. So...it's currently not a huge issue or topic of discussion, but...I guess for now, at least, mini-Fury (and mini-hellhound) adoption can take place on the Board, as per usual, and maybe we'll eventually end up with an Adoption Center? It's not really something we've discussed yet, honestly. (What we have discussed is finding enough minis for an effective OFU security force, but that's another matter). Personally, I'd probably have it be both--primary mini adoption can take place on the Board following missions, with the minis who are left unadopted getting sent to the Adoption Center until someone decides to take them. But that's really just a thought at this point.

Little bit of both, I suppose. by

If a mini comes up in a mission, I don't care if someone adopts it right there (I believe that's happening a few threads down on Lily's mission), but if anyone wants a mini-Tribble not from a mission, they should come to me and my master list. Mostly because, well, I have a master list. Kind of makes it easier, doesn't it.
(I also apologize to anyone who was following OFAS.) -
I'm not even touching Hetalia Mochis, but for Sherlock minis by

(that is to say, mini-Hounds of the Baskervilles) I run the mini-Hound Adoption Kennel.
For the MBSFA and the IAHF I take all mini sightings, whether on various websites or in badfics that don't get sporked. Minis from sporked badfics do, of course, end up in the kennel as well, but I'm more egalitarian about where the minis come from.
People just shoot me asks on the tumblr to claim them. -

As I run the adoption for mini-Hounds, I go for a more egalitarian view on where the minis come from.
I don't deal with Mochis, since everyone misspells country names and there's so many variations of the character names anyway that it's confusing. As far as IAHF goes, I take Mochis that reviewers point out for me or that I notice elsewhere, but they're not strictly adoptable, per se. Besides, the Mochis have their own canonical spinoff. -

... which makes it something of a rarity among OFUs (even more so if you consider it doesn't have an unfinished second year, either). OFUDisc, the Discworld OFU.

Would this be Marvel Avengers, or an obscure British TV series of the same name?

...Marvel Avengers, although now that I've tracked down the obscure British TV series of the same name (it took an IMDb search and some luck), that also looks pretty cool. It is, however, for the Marvel Avengersverse (primarily the new live-action films), hence the title of SBEI--the Strategic Badfic Elimination Initiative.
...I think I know what just made it onto my list of things to watch, though. Is the '98 movie any good, or is one of the two TV series versions better? (Also, er, are any of them good, or did you just happen to know about it and were curious? I ask because I tracked down the Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie, and he seems to be ranting about it. Admittedly, he's never seen the show...)

Open question to their authors: Are you still working on them? I'm currently following OFUATLA and the Star Trek OFU (I forget the official name), and I haven't seen any new chapters from either one in quite a while...

You're the second person who's asked recently.
And I really have no good answer. The motivation to write it just sort of...went away. I plan to get back to it sometime, but I don't know when that will be. I'm really sorry.
On the bright side, I actually have the first draft of the next chapter done (first draft, mind you), and I'm currently working on a TNG-verse PPC mission because I suddenly got inspired to work on it again. Writing is funny that way. Why couldn't I have gotten inspired to work on OFAS? -

Then again, I'm also guilty of not having written anything PPC lately, due to other things having taken precendence.
I'm glad to hear you're still around though, Hermione of Vulcan! -

Miss Cam’s site lists about seventy-five, and it has not been updated in years. (Many of these links may be dead now; I didn’t check.)
There is also a shorter (but newer) list on the Wiki page for Fanfiction Universities.
I’m sure there are more.
