Wait what feeding problem if addie is still a shard she should have plenty of energy to last centurys
This is interesting for one big reason, Minnie has moved from a huge fish in a big pond to a huge fish in an ocean. Her absolutely uncrackable tech, isn't uncrackable any more, in most universes she would be right, we saw that even in Calibration with all it's Sci-fi shenanigans they couldn't crack it, but this is DC, and that means Shard tech isn't at the top of the food chain. Addy ran into this problem in the main story, and I'm looking forward to Minnie learning this lesson practically here. (Speaking of Calibration this is a funny reversal in advancement of math/physics where she refused to advance their knowledge of physics, but here she solved an unsolvable problem. Of course Calibration's current knowledge of physics included FTL wormholes, so she isn't breaking the masquerade, quite so hard here)
Even better, this multiversal cluster canonically has a different dimensional signature than the shardspace bubble which means Minnie needs to find tune her tech. On top of all of that, despite the vauge nature of when this story is taking place, it's definitely after when Addy was given the multidimensional quantum fractal stabilization equation by Barry which provides the necessary math to understand the the dimensional structure of Minnie's current reality. (Of course Minnie needs to convince Addy to give her that equation first) This should allow better contact with with her shard self, fine tuning of powers, and most importantly, at will multidimensional travel.

Sounds like a solid chunk of irony.
How much does it sell for? I think I can use it as a bludgeon for people who are in dire need of it.
This is here to fill the comment
during most of mishaps addie has been having lots of trouble figuring out the DC rules of physics in regards to opening stable multiversal portals so she can spread onto and devour alternate earths, for the majority of the chapters so far she's been forced into "power saving" mode due to it, she was just coasting off of leftover energy from the last cycle. It's still alot of energy and it would last her centuries in adle mode, less if she needs to use any shard powers... but to a being that has lived for billions of years, centuries might as well be days and boy was addie getting desperate

This is the Arrowverse, not main DC. Shard Tech is still better than most everything here. A few groups might be close, but unrestricted shard stuff is still incredibly powerful here.
Addy Queen from Administrative Mishap was badly damaged and had limited energy reserves at the beginning of the story. Though, she indeed still had enough energy to last for over a thousand years. Shards just perceive time differently due to their naturally long lifespans.
Huh, what do you mean? Do what?
The thing is though that Minnie/QAylor is a different beast entirely from Addy (as seen by her thoughts on why Addy hadn't just made a new arm herself) right down to the hardware level as her type of shard revolves around concepts while Addy is 'just' a normal shard (and one that i think runs on Wildbows 'shards are continent sized' retcon as a starting point rather than QAylors original flavor 'world sized shard on an empty earth').
There's enough differences that Addy could end up having the same sort of trouble with QAylors ID that the people in Calibration did, simply because she doesn't have the relevant permissions/codes/identifiers needed to decrypt it properly.
It won't be a stomp by any means, but imo Minnie is significantly more dangerous than Addy in a number of ways simply by her differing origins.
There's also the fact that the altered dimension stuff won't be as surprising to Minnie as it was to Addy, as they seemed much more aware of the multiverse in her other stories so it will likely be easier for her to find a fix (if its even needed, as she still has an active connection to Dreamer).

Dunno. We didn't get the "the nameless girl sat in the meadow" scene, so I find myself wondering just how much the nameless girl / Pandora / Dreamer is capable of, this time around. If she's Dreamer-level capable and HALPing along with QA, then there's significant additional capability compared to if QA is on her own with her hat-powers (she does have her hat-powers, right?) and Friendmaking. Even Friendmaking-QA has significant capability, but...
(Given the lack of mention/focus on Taylor, she may be Sir Not Appearing In This Story so that Minnie is more analogous to Addie. Guess we'll see.)
I hope not. I want to see Addy meet a shardlike Taylor, and I want The Live Wire and Taylor to have a fun relationship.
QA herself is a lot of fun, but the Taylor perspective always adds a bit of spice to these stories. Heck, she doesn't even need to be as powerful as she is in Wrong to Make friends, she could just be observing from outside the universe, not really able to do much besides tweak powers and send the occasional emotion.
Eh, its pretty much impossible due to the nature of Taylor/Dreamer at this point, if she wasn't even slightly connected to the arrowverse QAylor couldn't function either simply due to the fact that Taylor now lives in QA's core functions.

True, but she may or may not be paying attention to QA, and may or may not be capable of paying attention to QA, if her damage is worse in this iteration than in INW/Calibration. QA's original reason for taking over for Taylor and dropping her into a sim was to allow her to recover - nothing (yet) says whether Taylor is cognizant and/or to what degree in UM. (Mind, I certainly enjoy the standard Dreamer/Pandora HALPing, just for the sheer lolwtf that tends to result, but I can absolutely see her being incapacitated, depending on the direction OP wants to go with this.)
Side note, I am beginning to realize just how corrupted my view of QA is by INW/Calibration/etc. Started reading through AdMis, and found myself wondering about hat-powers when Addie was shopping for hats.

Be tolerant and reasonably accommodating to (in this case) neuro-divergent people, as much as they would for any other person, without repeatedly hammering on why that's right and moral and whatever in narration and/or dialogue.
Eh, I'd say that's at most a reflection of the real problem. Namely that Queen Administrator is not a neuro-divergent human, she's the consciousness of a colossal mega-computer that was part of a multidimensional superorganism, with only the vaguest grasp of human thought patterns. Making Addy into a representative for a group that by definition she can not be a part of just falls flat, no less because many such difficulties make no sense for something like her to have.
QAylor (or in this case Minnie) works because she has a lot of problems, but 'normal human problems' are none of those. Except when they are, in which case it is for humor.

The problem is that humans have all of these weird defects that lead to them denying resources to entities with limbs composed entirely of living invertebrates, and Addy has a really really poorly-suited composition for alternative limb-replacement options. *shrugs* One can only work with what they've got, and reconfiguring humanity without provoking unacceptable levels of noncompliance takes time, especially if their are personages one must work around...
This is gonna be so fun, especially given Addy belonged to the canon Entity while Minnie is obviously from a heavily divergent alternate. For starters she can recognize social queues, uses sarcasm, there was bullying in her Network... Minnie's Network is like a society of mad scientists that are born with moon killing weaponry and zero common sense, while Addy's is canon's more semi-sentient, hive minded kind of approach to things.
Gah I can't wait for them to interact, especially given that Minnie doesnt have any Core access unlike Addy, which means she's utterly defenseless even without the Kryptonian body. I wonder how the balance of power will shape their relationship.

This is my plan, hadn't heard of Administrative Mishap until now and was trying to look through your various fics to find it. Seems it's by somebody else!
(I've solved spoiler-dodging by not reading the comments here yet.)In a technical sense you're correct, Addy is not autistic because she's not human.
In a practical sense, though, Addy absolutely is autistic. She hyperfixates on a niche subject (in her case, geese and to a lesser extent other waterfowl), she has moderate-to-severe issues regarding taste, texture, and colours, she has problems with noisy crowds, etc..
She has these problems because she's never inhabited a human body before, much less a human/kryptonian hybrid science experiment, and her senses get overwhelmed. She also only has these problems inside her human(ish) body; when she shifts her focus to her "real" body she doesn't have any of those issues.
It's also not unusual in the slightest for shards to have sensory issues based on the avatar they're inhabiting. The Warrior Entity was killed precisely because it was overwhelmed by grief, something that the main body would have had no issues with. This is literally the Entities' Achilles heel.
tl;dr: Addy is autistic.
Except that makes no sense whatsoever.
First of all, that is not what happened to Scion. Scion didn't have a human body's senses influencing him, he had emotion emulation for the puyrpose of better pretending to be human. The only reason it did anything to him is because without Eden he literally couldn't fulfill any of his goals, because he's the Warrior, his job is to stand guard while Eden does all the tasks that require thinking.
This meant he used the emulation as a distraction. Along with literally the first thing a random human suggested he could do, namely saving people, which happened to be close enough to the things Eden would expect him to do to keep the experiment going (dismantle WMDs and whatnot) that he decided to just do it for its own sake. Because it was the only thing he had to do while whiling away the days and he was literally too dumb to understand how it'd affect him because again, Eden is the one who thinks. That is not a problem for a being that has literally any goal in life other than waiting for their inevitable death. Scion was depressed because he had every reason to be depressed, and so he didn't even care enough to turn off the thing that made him capable of depression.
Second, those are not problems a shard in a human body would have. Hyperfixation is ridiculous, the Queen Administrator's entire job is multitasking and even the fraction a human body can safely borrow is plenty for Taylor to canonically be almost arbitrarily capable of handling tasks in parallel. Taste, texture and colors would if anything be sorely limited compared to her senses for the most part. A human body can't even naturally interact with parallel dimensions, it might as well be blind and deaf.
An entity or shard would have very different problems, mostly related to communication, social norms, and the fact that violence and communication are not considered to be the same thing among humans. When Eden and the third entity exchange information they do it by literally smashing into eachother and trading out shards in what amounts to a pro-forma fight, because that is the only way they know to do it, ever since the days of the entity homeworld.
In conclusion, yes, Addy was portrayed as autistic by the author of Administrative Mishaps. It was a poorly thought out decision that wasn't even executed that well.

brought it back.
I think that's more the sheer amount of information they need to share in a short period of time. Bandwidth problems, in other words. Same reason Google transfers info between datacenters by throwing a ton of USBs into a van and driving it there.
In your opinion
I personally rather liked it, but to each their own
Eh my biggest problem with Administrative mishap is that it ended up randomly devolving into grimderp for the latest arc, with the bad guys winning via author fiat and introducing elements that had no basis in either canon or butterflies caused by Addy's actions.
Now it basically has multiple apocalypses stacked atop one another that will require some level of asspull to solve simply due to how widespread, varied and numerous the issues are.

The story is Arrowverse adjacent. It is based on the 2015 Supergirl TV show, however the author added new things.
Multilayered quantum adapting telepathic fields and the Guardians of Oa being prepared to kick the Shards/Eldritch Beings out of the universe, again!
However, it's worth noting the original story was playing the threats a lot more seriously, enemies were rational actors and developing counters for Addy. This story is more of a comedy so Minnie might win simply because the genre changed and it's funny to see high and mighty people people lose to someone in the body of a child. We can see how the story progresses and how seriously we need to take this before we start arguing power levels.
Addy is also planet sized, however depending on when in the story we are she might not have regained full power usage or have different capabilities depending on what she has developed.
Based on context clues, I'm pretty sure we are at the point in the story where Addy has already regained the full use of her original planetary size shard, has upgraded herself with Kryptonian crystals, is integrating the nearby moon into part of herself, and has started opening stable breaches to barren parelles Earths to gain more land to build processors and draw power from. She was stable enough and has enough excess energy to Bud, and has been multitasking on a multidimensional level, and I believe is planning on converting planets to act as pseudo Dyson spheres. She's WAY bigger than Minnie's single Earth sized body at this point if I'm right
