If I wanted to kill myself it definiatelyy would not be a spur of the moment 'look, shiny scissors' thing. Not that I'd want to kill myself. Honestely, this story is not about Elrond, it's Krill imaginary boyfriend. |

I've never had suicidal thoughts but I know families who had relatives commit suicide. While some writing does go dark and address the issues that polite society keeps hushed up, it takes a great maturity to do so properly. I think the "knows more than we will ever know" might also be that someone in her school either committed suicide or lost a loved one to suicide, so the school brought in counselors to talk about it. And I cannot see Elrond trying to lighten up the mood by joking with someone with cuts on her wrist. It's odd that all these Suethors think that suicide is something that only happens in earth. I'm sure there were cases in Middle-earth, Tolkien just didn't write about it.
Is she before or after Angey?
Amen. |

Right, krillball is next to Angey on my 'authors who are burning in writing hell'. The reasons she gave for the sucide, the abusive dad, would have been believable except she wrote that Sam had a voice in her head telling her that what her dad was saying was wrong. The voice that tells you those people are wrong is the voice that keeps you from suicide, the thing that keeps you going. Trust me. Oh and also the whole thing about 'understanding' fanfiction, yep that puts her up with Angey. Stupid Suethors. Great MST though. |

Suicide in Middle-Earth? Well, Turin, Hurin, Maedhros and Denethor committed it, for instance. Only they had a bit more relevant reasons than an abusive father. And I can't well imagine Turin diving on fricking scissors. You all are right about Elrond, he's horribly OOC in this. A hunk? Joking to someone who just has attempted suicide? Please, give me a break. This "story" has value only as material for a merciless MST or parody. |

Oh wait, that voice gets odder. It tells her she's pretty and that she loves her and then tells Sam to cut herself. The voice is more schizophrenic than Sam.
Thank you! It's not such a new idea for a Sue to fall there and admit to trying to suicide. And then everyone acts as if it's such a novelty!
Absolutely and I'm getting all the value. |

Ouch! This just carries on getting better and better. For a start, we have one of the classic signs of badfic: the author spends page after page ranting against her detractors, or possibly the voices in her head. Then the Stupid starts ...
And I don't recall many people having naturally dark red lips. What's Samantha been doing - eating blackberries? Smearing cochineal beetles on her face?
With all those Sues hanging around Rivendell, Elrond's getting pretty perceptive.
I may have to disagree there, Mac. As mentioned above ... suicide with scissors - really? What's the next attempt going to be - a lawnmower? Macaroni? A passing chihuaha?
Darn tootin'!
Hoo yeah! I like him punching through a 5cm wall too - nowhere is it specified which dimension is being measured. I keep on having Spinal Tap flashbacks and imagining bad!dad punching over an itty-bitty 5cm high wall. The brute!
Hmm. Maybe he's just embarrassed about appearing in this fic? |

It's also odd given that she has lost blood. One would think her lips would be a pale color.
Yes he is.
A hairbrush. I shit you not.
Yeah, pick on something your own size!
Must be. I know I would be. |

Yup, this has now officially gone beyond a cry for help. This is just weird! I'm imagining a crowd of boggled elves in Rivendell, pushing random objects under Sam's door to see what she does with them. Plus, an evil twin. Aie! Sam - now available in stereo! |

This was my favourite part:
Elves make knives and hairbrushes all rolled into one? That's news to me. I didn't know such a thing existed. When people brush their hair, they tend not to want to scalp themselves. The evil self was completely random as well. Why does she even have one? I don't think krillball mentioned bi-polar disorder. |

Well, I must say the author is at least creative in one thing, that is, inventing ever stupider methods for Sam to kill herself. Still, I must wonder how one was supposed to use the hairbrush if its handle was sharp like a knife? |

Well, they did make cane-knives in the middle of the 1800's and such. (Date's probably off. I do know it's from any point between 1800 to 1900...) Maybe knife-brushes are a fashion statement? Ugh, in all honestly, I wish the stupid Sue would just kill herself. God I love that adage about down the road not across the street. Maybe Elrond should show her that? Oh, and Angey is still the worst. Though this chick is getting close, especially with her suicide crap. |

Oh look, half the chapter was a rant about her reveiws. Yawn. Schitzo-Sue Alert! Schitzo-Sue's Voice In Her Head is also Schitzo it seems. This chapter was wierd and pretty much made no sense. krillball is drawing closer to Angey. *Starts laughing* a hairbrush? Well it's original I suppose but, you know, totally impossible and unbelievable. Great MST though, nice little apperance form Buddy. |

Oh yes, the story's terrible but I'm quite looking forward to the suicide attempt. So creative! I can just see the carrot-themed effort - Sam with tears in her eyes, poised to plunge a freshly-sharpened carrot into her heart ... |

*snort* If only she'd take the 'down the road' advise and really kill herself. |
