Just started MSTing a charming little Sue here - all comments will be gratefully received!

A good start. I like Legolas and Aragorn basically telling the stopry of what happen to Gandalf and then finding out that it WAS Saruman. This sounds like a promising MST. I also liked:

“I do not know,” said Aragorn, looking uneasy for the first time since his capture, “but I fear we will find out soon enough. There are dark times ahead, my friends. Only one thing can protect us now.”

Legolas closed his eyes in supplication. “Ai! Sweet Elbereth, save us!”

“Actually, I was thinking of sarcasm.”

“Oh.”
Merlin: Thank you.
Arthur: For what? For lying to my father to save your worthless hide? If you ever put me in that situation again, Merlin, I will clap you irons myself.

David: Oh and John. My TARDIS... mine. Say sorry.
John: Sorry.

Thanks, glad you liked it!

I do love Book Three of LOTR - it's possibly my favourite section of the whole novel. But I must admit that if anyone other than Tolkien had written the tale of Gandalf's return, I'd have flung the fic across the room with a strangled cry of, "Aagh - stop with the deus ex machinas!".

I always think it seems a bit strange, except that within the story it fits. I can't wait to hear your MST, or rather Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli's MST. I liked how you had Aragorn refering to modern things like venterlation shafts. Makes it easy to understand him MSTing.
Merlin: Thank you.
Arthur: For what? For lying to my father to save your worthless hide? If you ever put me in that situation again, Merlin, I will clap you irons myself.

Brilliant lead up! One of the best I've read. I'm looking forward to reading more! :)

I loved the line 'GIMLI: (lusty!Aragorn) Heyyy, who’s the cute balrog in the corner ... hang on a minute.' This was a bery good start to your MSTing. I can't believe this author just put a vampire into Middle-Earth, well two to be precise.
Merlin: Thank you.
Arthur: For what? For lying to my father to save your worthless hide? If you ever put me in that situation again, Merlin, I will clap you irons myself.

I think 'loathesome' is the perfect word to describe this Sue. Wonderful MST though.

ARAGORN: (impressed) Wow, Barliman’s really expanded the range of beers at the Pony.


That was my favourite bit.

Thanks to all, though I would like to share any applause with my collaborator blackxrosexvampire! The sheer contempt she shows for Middle Earth canon is astonishing. As far as I can work out, she must have seen the movie once and decided to use LOTR as a vaguely interesting backdrop for her hawt, hawt vampire romance. Chuck in the fact that Remi is one of the most dislikeable Sues I've ever seen, and MSTing this becomes no more than shooting fish in a barrel. Thuringwethil will be spinning in her grave ...

I like Gimli's last line of 'this is The Path We Walkpart ONE!'.
Merlin: Thank you.

Loved it!! Laughed at the end line too. :) Though, my favourite bit was:

LEGOLAS: (Nazgûl 1) “Curses! This isn’t cedarwood!”
GIMLI: (Nazgûl 2) “I demand a refund!”

Don't know why...it just struck me as funny. :) Keep up the good work!

Man, this Sue is more unlikable than Rosa! I didn't even think that was possible. I think the "author" should get some kind of award for that.

Great MST so far; loved your characters' comments, especially the one about the Nazgul and the beds, and about the story in only a few words.

This MST was frickin brilliant! I love the way they got captured, it was quite nice to have a build up story part.

The story is horrific, I'm half convinced it's a troll because no one could write something that bad seriously. Could they?
Books contain knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Corruption is a crime. Crime never pays. So, if I keep reading, Im gonna go broke!

It was actually great fun - if that's the word - searching through badfic to find a subject for the MST. I kept on thinking, "No. No. No, that has to be a troll. Please?" This was the worst one I felt sure on, and having looked through the author's other fics - yeah, she's not faking.

More unlikeable than Rosa? I am honoured, Jules! And yes, we should give the author a prize for that. And something for Remi too - I'm thinking a gallon of petrol and some matches ...

She's a vampire; I think we should give her silver stakes :).

Maybe we should send Buffy after her? Or Van Helsing. Or both.
