Calling all DOFA entrants. by

To all of you who have enrolled a fanwriter: thank you! I loved reading the personality snippets, and it's great to have ready-to-use characters.
I have an issue, though. My fanwriter is rather young (twelve) so she's pretty fixated on age, like most kids are. The thing is, I don't know the ages of your fanwriters. I can guess, but I can't be sure. If no one minds, I would like any who entered to post the age of their fanwriter. Of course, I know a lot of them are your fictionalized selves, so feel free to make up a new age if you're sensitive about that.
And if you didn't enter a fanwriter, but would like to do so now, feel free! I'd like a brief snippet on the personality of your fanwriter alter-ego, if ya don't mind, with pertinent info such as your Disney LO and your favorite Prince, Princess, and Villain. Thanks!

Disney minis. by

Before anything else, thank you guys for the ages! They'll be extremely helpful.
Now, the topic line. At DOFA, the minis are mini-Brooms. However, since there are eleven Princess films, I'd like to do something similar to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Each movie will have its own mini, but at DOFA they all become mini-Brooms. Similarly, in the usually bad and all too common "the Disney family in high school" stories, or other such mashups, the mini-Brooms may be used.
I've created a list of possible minis, and I'd like to see what everyone thinks.
Snow White: mini-Dwarfs.
Cinderella: mini-Pumpkins.
Sleeping Beauty: mini-Spinning Wheels.
Little Mermaid: mini-Seahorses.
Beauty and the Beast: mini-Beasts/Bells?
Aladdin: mini-Serpents.
Pocahontas: (this one is most subject to change. I envision something like wind spirits, denoted by colored leaves spinning in the air, as in the famous "Paint With All the Colors of the Wind" song.) mini-Wind gusts with leaves.
Mulan: mini-Mushus.
Princess and the Frog: mini-Gators.
Tangled: mini-Thugs.
Brave: mini-Bears (varying from Elinor to Mor'du, depending on how bad the fic is).
Frozen: mini-Snowmen.
Oh, also, Scapegrace (if I'm remembering correctly) suggested "Minnies." I absolutely love the idea, but it doesn't work at DOFA, as Mickey himself isn't even present. But if any missions are done in the Disney canon outside of the Princess films, I think Minnies would be perfect.
Thoughts, suggestions, critique? Love to hear 'em! -

Mmm... I think that for Pocahontas, mini-Percys would be a better idea.
and for Beauty and the Beast I would suggest mini-Sultans/Footstools
I was going to suggest this guy:
for Cinderella, and this one
for Sleeping Beauty, but I don't think you would be very comfortable using their names.
And which dwarf from Snow White? There are seven of them. I would suggest something for this sub-continuum... but I don't a have better idea for it. -
Those sound good to me! by

Mini-Percys are much better than mini-wind thingamabobs, and the mini-Beasts felt a bit off as well.
Nah, I'm cool with the last two. Mini-Lucifers and mini-Diablos are fine by me.
The only other ones I could think of for Snow White would be mini-Apples or mini-Trees. More specifically, the scary trees from the sequence of Snow running away from the Evil Queen. But I don't particularly like that one-- no canon name.
If we stick with mini-Dwarfs, I would put it at sporker's discretion to choose a dwarf according to the general feel of the fic. If we want a set one, I would say mini-Grumpys. -
All of this sounds good... by

...but a word of warning: None of these minis is official yet. They will be when you publish the OFU and you mention it as an author's note or some other way, and/or someone uses any of them in a Mission.

Because I was a total ass at that age and the fanfic I had in my head was horrible. I'd consider making him 18, but maybe I should play it safe XD

While I stopped being such a fanbrat at 13 or so, I'm 15 now, and she's more a fanbrat version of current me than the fanbrat I was then.

This is about the age I started asking serious questions of my sexuality and gender identity. Ellie's gonna have to do that too - therefore, she gets to be that age. Fun for everyone! =]
