Mini

A mini is a creature created by a misspelling usually, though not always, made in fanfics. A mini may be adopted, though if it is part of an Official Fanfiction University, one has to ask permission from the university head. Minis, unfortunately, cannot accompany agents on missions, but they're good for chasing off intruders and disposing of the body of your latest Sue.

Minis vary according to fandom. For example, Lord of the Rings has mini-Balrogs, Harry Potter has mini-Aragogs, Pirates of the Caribbean has Misspelled Monkeys, etc.

The first minis were mini-Balrogs, which appeared in Miss Cam's Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth.

Creating New Mini Types
'''PLEASE READ BEFORE ADDING! '''

The creation of new mini types is reserved for either a) the creator of the OFU in that continuum, or b) if there is no OFU, the first person to write about them in a mission to that continuum. The reason for this is that, while it's fun to dream up mini types, it isn't fair to the people actually writing in a new continuum if the perks of doing so are gone when they get there.

There are probably some instances in which minis were named before this rule was agreed upon. In that case, if the original mini-namer can't be found and there are no instances of that type of mini anywhere, it's probably okay to petition the Board to make them something different if you want to.

If you are adding a new mini type, please include your source for it. Also, if you see something without a source and you know where it came from, please add the source. Thanks!

Non-Continuum Minis

 * Mini-Agents have not been observed; they tend to be edited out of existence before they have a chance to spawn.
 * Mini-Boarders are usually small versions of the Boarder whose name was misspelled.
 * Mini-Sues are created when a Suethor misspells his own Mary-Sue's name. They tend to be pink and glittery, but not as dangerous as the Sue herself.
 * Cliffie is created by a badfic author overusing cliffhangers at the end of chapters and calling them cliffies. First mentioned by Indemaat.
