We seem to be on a roll. It's just an illusion, really - the first of these missions has been on the go for about four years.

Lasa and Mombi of the Department of Angst take on a Fullmetal Alchemist fic, despite knowing nothing of the canon: http://agenttrojie.livejournal.com/96543.html

And Trojie and Pads take another jaunt to the Discworld. It's... not as pleasant as usual. Or as worksafe. Mental scarring may ensue, so have a care: http://agenttrojie.livejournal.com/96814.html

And while we're at it, More Slashers FTW!

So, I have Darth Raven, Argaron and possibly Hormone. I was thinking of feeding him trolls through. Maybe silly reviewers as well.

Slashers Unite!

I contacted Miss Cam just over a year ago, and she said she didn't do adoptions any more, but I was welcome to take over if I really wanted to.

Isengrad is, sadly, already adopted. However, Argaron isn't, and is in fact the first unadopted Aragorn mini I've seen. You're welcome to take him, I'm sure he'll be very happy. Make sure to feed him plenty of bacon and eggs. :)

If I have to think about how to pronounce something and it's not a crazy alien, and it's not in a fandom with crazy aliens, I want to throttle something.

On the plus side, they've long stopped posting. I read the reviews for the one you commented on. I love this excuse:

"Yes, I so make mistakes while typing. Much of the time it is that I have too many ideas and I need to get the down quick before I foget them (I have a minor memory problem-really shows through in my Social Studies class. Dates, Ugh)"

O... kay? I have memory problems too. I forget things. I don't forget to spellcheck though. Ever.

And one of the reviews for the prologue had a signature that piqued my interest. Read this. It's... interesting: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/ayla_pascal/JW01a.html

I had a few AFF Minis in the previous list. As Sedri says, all it requires is a quick skim through your story. It's not as if the AFF formatting erare ars rre subtle.

I don't have an entire book dedicated to them, but I do have a few books which have lists of some of them.

'Hry' and 'Ptr' came from AFF, which is notorious for its formatting with uploads. Words get merged or outright deleted for example. The last one can from FF.net, can't remember where. The others I can't remember, but they were all from separate fics. Don't worry, I didn't grab any from definite trolls because, to my knowledge, that's not allowed.

I remember once trying to contact Miss Cam and failing horribly.

My copy of The Two Towers has a chapter where the proofreader just gave up or something. Would Isengrad contained there be a Mini and if so can I have him if he's available? If not, can I keep Argaron?

Just remember to feed it two Mary-Sues a day, otherwise it gets a bit miffed.

Would anyone have heard from my sisters recently? Meip and Rosie have dropped off the map.....I know this is an odd topic, but I fear a the disappearance may be the work of a certain angry clan of Mary-sues.....

*randomly appearing Boarder reappears briefly*

Out of curiosity, have any of the Potterverse agents ever paid visits to this author's works?

Example from one summary: "Elsarinxzarlas Calsarracktik (Xzar Cal for short) is a student going to Hogwarts in Harrys First year."

...*disappears back into the e-ther*

...I've been wondering about the minis for a few fandoms. Namely Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost in the Shell, and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni shut up I found a Hanyuu mini and I want it. For Ghost in the Shell, I was thinking mini-T08A2, as in the giant spider-tank-thing from the end of the first movie, but for the other two, I dunno. All the "monsters" from Rurouni Kenshin are human, and Higurashi, well, really doesn't like to keep the threats visible. And as much fun as mini-Bursts Of Insanity or mini-Hallucinations might be, they wouldn't be very practical. Maybe mini-Fingernail Removers?

Have a winged kitten. As a pet. Not a potential food source.

...but I don't think they can be let off the hook entirely. FF.N has a system that will remove scene breaks if you don't go back through the uploaded document and check it, which doesn't take very long. I would consider not taking the time to check that as being along the same lines as not bothering to run a spell check, if not exactly the same.

If it's not something they can fix by taking a little extra time... probably not. But someone ought to nag the admin of that site until it's fixed.

As I recall, it's the publishing of 'fics that lets them affect canon worlds and therefore show up on our Consoles; if it's what's shown and changing the Word Worlds (and on a more mundane level, what we see when we're trying to read a good story), then I don't think it should not create a mini, because the problem is still there.

Sorry to ramble - thinking out loud. Overall, I think it should create a mini, but that we shouldn't charge the author for it.

I give you...an egg whisk! It's shiny, gold-plated, and whisks not only eggs but author wraiths and spambots as well! Use it for good and not much evil.

Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy the ride.

(Why did FFnet store those two series together? Surely it would make more sense to have them separate and mark crossovers as... well, crossovers...)

Anyway...

BADFIC ALERT TIME (YAY):
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5150409/1/UNKNOWN_SPECIES
Synopsis: "what if predators and humans came across a species never been seen or heard of before? would they be a fight to see whom would catch this creature first? please read on to find out."
(Also categorised under "Friendship/Fantasy", which is less than promising)

Amusing quotes:
"When the story gets going you will read the predators thoughs and the same with other characters."

"He was missiled out into earth’s atmosphere."

Has such fun features as random tense shifts, messed up verbs ('layed', the aforementioned 'missiled' etc), frequent ditching of the Capital Letter at the start of sentences (but no aversion to CAPSLOCK at times), ocassional misplacement of commas in plurals ("seem's") etc...

I'd take this one, but it's Predator-centric so far, and I'm more versed in Aliens. Stupid ffnet's categorisation system...

In which Doctor McCoy molests Captain Kirk. For reasons we weren't quite able to figure out. Worst of the smut removed, as usual.

(Excuse me hijacking your thread, Cassie, but in the interests of the no-double-posting rule it seemed a good notion.)

Yes, I have a couple of Slash Agents who wanted something to do, so I gave them a mission. Here you go.

In the best traditions of Bad Slash, the mission is NSFW. However, it is hopefully SFB. Enjoy.

I run their Adoptions Agency. I'll take care of them unless somebody wants to adopt one. Thanks for finding them, though :)
