Well, the first two chapters are posted. What do you think of it?

You can read the story here.

AH, I only read the first chapter so far, but I must say, it's great. It made me chuckle more than once and isn't that the purpose of a MST?

The story you MST'd is quite horrid too... True, not as bad as say, MELH or Celebrian, but common... Everybody should know dragons are evil in Middle-earth. They were created by Morgoth after all!

Great so far, I'll keep reading.

And yay for you posting the story like I wanted it to: story topic + review topic. You earn good marks, my fellow member! :)

Thanks! I never considered MST'ing anything myself before I came across this atrocity. My first reaction to the original story was WTF, followed by annoyance. I just could see in my mind what Faramir or Thranduil would say to the portrayal of their relatives in this story.

That was a really hilarious read. The Mary Sue was really annoying, and why did she have to drag in one of my favourite languages (Arabic)? *Sigh*. I do not understand the mindsets of Suethors.

It's great. Do you still want me to beta those chapters for you?

Thanks! Well, if you think they in the need of beta reading, I'd be grateful for that. I'll post them here as they stand now, but if you have any corrections or suggestions I can always revise them.

I now have read all chapters, and I must congratulate you on a job well done! Your MST was highly entertaining. The trio made some great remarks that made reading this bad story bearable. I laughed out lout at times as well, and that doesn't happen often when I read MSTs (Jules' MST of AEL is an exception...). Well done! I hope there will be more chapters or other MST'd stories of you. :)

Your hopes are to be fulfilled, since I intend to spork this fic in its entire 14-chapter "glory". Sphinxy has not yet finished the story, so there may be even more chapters, if I can wade through her prose.

Edit: I plan to have also Gimli among the sporkers. I'll just wait for the suitable chapter.

It's a great MST. I laughed at all the comments about commas.

LOL!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, I laughed so hard while reading it! You're a brilliant MST writer!

I love all your jokes :lol: And I really liked the prologue stuff, well-thought, for an MST :) It was also a good idea to make characters read the fic in their own world, without knowing pretty much anything about the mordern fanfic writing :rolleyes:

"David Copperfield" was also a nice addition ;) I wish you'd spend some more time on how Thranduil reads the book, his impressions on it and stuff, but this story has another purpose. And that is: be extremely funny and make us awe at its greatness! ^_^

Keep up the great work!

And sorry if something sounds un-logical or mis-spelled, my brain is kinda stiff from reading that craziness and laughing too much XD

Thanks! I had fun in writing this, too. Inserting the novel David Copperfield was just a random idea. I got it when I read the name of Uri. You know Uriah Heep? Red hair and eyes and stuff, just like Urivayo.

I've caught up again with all chapters and I agree wit hwhat anybody has said. You're still doing great! ^_^

I've read the original story on fanfiction.net yesterday. Blegh... It was bad. Luckily, this MST is so much better.

Hate this story, love the MST.

I loved Faramirs reactions to the way Boromir was portrayed, that author should be very very very ashamed of herself, dragons were all evil, Smaug was the last of the great dragons and I personally have never read anything about female dragons, did they even exist?

This MST was needed! Does the author know about it?

No, she doesn't. I think I won't inform her, it is doubtful if her sense of humour would stretch this far.

Does that matter? It might improve her writing matter.
