Alright, Jules. You give me the word and I will start the ball rolling on getting Luinil put in her place.

Guess what? I flamed that story! I actually flamed it! I was surprised; I thought Luinil would block anonymous reviews. But she didn´t, so I finally got the chance to (hopefully) deliver a stunning blow to her sex-crazed ego.

Unfortunately, anonymous reviews can be deleted, so I doubt my review will be up on the page very long. I decided to copy it here, because *I* at least want to remember it.

"My God.

There are just no words for this chapter...or for this horrific nightmare you call a story.

How can you murder a character as you´re doing and STILL call yourself a fan of the story? Denethor. Is. Not. A. Rapist. Or. A. Pedophile. Get that into your thick head right now. He is a sad, scornful, screwed-up guy who deserves pity. Then again, you probably haven´t even picked up the books. But how in God´s name could you get the idea of Denethor as an incestuous rapist and pedophile even from the movie?! He was insane, not evil!

Your Aragorn/Boromir interactions are almost as sickening. The "little fledgeling" dynamic is creepy and not arousing at all. Morever, why is Boromir not horrified at Aragorn´s pedophilia, especially after what he supposedly did with Denethor? And why is Aragorn patronizing poor Boromir like this? The spanking--God, if you don´t realize yourself how wrong it is to have one grown man spanking another as a punishment, you need serious help. Hell, I think you need serious help anyway.

Have you considered changing the names of these characters and making this original fiction? Because these hormone-sodden creatures you´re writing about act nothing like their canon counterparts. They´re a disgrace to movie canon, let alone book canon.

Oh, and guess what? I found out that you plagiarized Larrkin´s "As the Journey Begins". So you´re getting reported, and you deserve it. I hope that before you delete this review and your bratty little bootlickers rush to your defense, you actually come down off your high horse and realize what an offensive, disgusting piece of shit this is."

*applauds* Bravo, Jules! Both for the MST and for the flame. You voiced my, and many others' thoughts so well that there's nothing to add. I hope Luinil's piece of s**t disappears quickly from internet.

I sent a PM to Larrkin to inform her of the plagiarism:

Quote:
 
Larrkin,

Recently, a friend of mine came across the story "The Pride of Boromir" located at http:// lotr (dot)adultfanfiction (dot) net / story (dot) php ? no = 600080610 (delete spaces). Shortly after, another found your story, As the Journey Begins. Perusing the two stories' respective first chapters, I could not help but notice the similarities between the two. Judging by the posting dates, I believe the author has plagiarized you. I thought it proper to let you know.

MackenzieW


So, we'll see what she says and what happens.

PS: Jules, bravo response, but did you respond on lotradultfanfiction or another site?

Thanks. I posted on lotradultfanfiction; as far as I know, Luinil only has her plagiarized piece of garbage posted on one other site, and that one doesn´t allow access to NC-17 stories if you´re not a member.

Believe me, I didn´t say half what I wanted to say in that review; I couldn´t. Because Luinil´s massacre of Denethor is seriously JUST LIKE Phantom´s Ange´s massacre of Boromir in "An Elf´s Love" version 1. The one difference is that unlike in AEL, Boromir´s handsome prince doesn´t rescue him from the rape. I remember in the PPC of "An Elf´s Love," one of the agents pointed a CAD at Boromir and because he was so out of character, it died. I would love to see what happens if someone uses a CAD on Denethor in "Pride of Boromir"; it would probably explode or perhaps melt.

I got a lovely response from Larrkin:
Quote:
 

Thanks for the heads up about the Boromir story, Mackenzie.  After reading
his author's revolting warnings that my squick alarm went off full force,
mixed with my outrage and made me disinclined to read what looked like a
perfect horror.  Character death, rape and pedophilia spelled with an 'f'?  As
though it isn't bad enough when spelled correctly?  Good lord.  I did manage
to skim the first page, though, and found quite a few similarities to my
story, including the outright theft of my 'Little Fledgling' pet name. 

Friends who soldiered ahead on my behalf came back to inform me that,
although this author had most certainly stolen scenarios and ideas, she hadn't
lifted anything verbatim.  That being the case, I'm told by those more AFF.n
savvy than I am that I cannot claim that she plagiarized my work.  I'm also
told that it's near impossible to get AFF.n to remove a story. 

But I can't tell you how much I appreciate you calling this to my attention
and speaking out against it, especially since it seems plain from reading your
astoundingly wonderful review of her "work" that my kind of story isn't your
cup of tea.  You nevertheless stood up and said what you thought and I'm very
grateful for that.

~Larrk


I don't know if she's referring to my reviews here or if she mistook me for you, Jules. Regarding it, maybe I just didn't see it when I went to copy the address.

I´m awfully sorry if I hurt Larrkin´s feelings in any way by that review. I know she´s got slash and spanking in her story, but as it´s actually well-written and Denethor is not turned into a rapist in it, I wasn´t going to flame it or even criticize it. Anyway, Larrkin, from the little I read of her story, seemed mature enough to write about homosexuality, unlike Luinil, who is basically a squee-ing fanbrat (you can tell that from her author´s notes) who is drooling over the actors getting it on. So, Larrkin, if you´re here, I´m extremely sorry; I was targeting Luinil, not you.

I don't think you necessarily hurt her feelings but she was nice to acknowledge that her story wasn't our cup of tea without resorting to calling us "homophobic." You are right, Larrkin's story is one we would most likely just overlook because we don't like the themes but acknowledge it is well-written. Some of my comments here were about stories like Luinil's and other sexual kink stories I've read that just twist characters to fill the author's sexual fantasies.

I am sorry that she can't start action against Luinil's intellectual theft, though.

Wow, Jules, your review made her want to stop writing.

Of course, then her "fans" come to her side and try to convince her to continue.
