Hi, I am new and have a couple of suggestions, just in case someone want to spork them. The first I found it in the pit. I will be sincere, I have not read it whole but a couple of chapters have been enough: tomboy sue falls on movie Middle-earth before Weathertop, is also injured defending Frodo from the Nazgul, is carried to Rivendell, there is a profecy yad yada... You can add spelling mistakes as Amunsuul (from what I recall it was Amon Sl), the sue is rude and the author has an extrange obssesion with the word "crud" for some reason. Specially annoying are the author notes in the middle of the story and the whinning of said author about the constructive criticism; I have read the reviews and there are not flames. She/he seems to think that a review must be just a praise for the incredible work (in this case it is not) and not counsel to help you improve the story. Here it is the link, it is called "A Simple Accident": http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7983131/1/A_Simple_Accident EDITED: I put too another suggestion for MST of one fanfic I wrote, but now I know that is against the rules of the forum so I remove it. If there is some member of the PPC around who wants to deal with a canon breaking fanfic just send me a PM to get the link. Sorry for the tirade and forgive my english, I am spanish. |

I believe you recall correctly.
Well, the author got that part over with quickly. :lol:Oh man oh man this is priceless:

Lust. What a strange fate that we should suffer so much angst and annoyance over such a small thing. Why, its the wonderful magic of wish fulfillment! Do, or do not. There is no think with the Mary Sue. | |

Oh, there are far worse things to come. In the next chapter Elrond says something about a prophecy. Nothing about child of the sun or whatever Rosa was but still, it comes with a poem. |

Hi, and welcome! Thanks for bringing this one to our attention!
It is? I thought it's okay if you allow it. You could PM one of the admins to ask. |

I informed our new member of our rule, but also explained that I myself have offered up my own stories. I fear my meaning wasn't clear. I meant to show Delenn that most of us will not MST another member's story more out of respect than the rule. Delenn, you can restore the link, even if it's just for us to read and then comment later. It most likely just won't get MSTed. |

Hi again, Since Mac has explained that there is no problem with posting the link to my fanfiction I restore it (this time is my LJ, I remember that at opensrolls toy have to be registered to read NC17). It is not slash or something weird but it is for adults so if you are underage stay away from it please: http://b5delenn.livejournal.com/3012.html#cutid1 As I said before I edited, due to the circumstances it breaks canon badly. Very Badly. It was for the Het Swap 2006, I offered to write some romance story for adults with Haldir or his brothers falling in love with an elleth. They gave me the closest petition, which was a romance between Rumil and Eowyn and her being peredhel. Since someone wanted to read that I decided to do it just as I was given, even if I have to destroy one of my favorites pairings. It is not like some of the jewels of the MST. When I did it I tried to correct grammar mistakes, and in fact I think it does not have any spell mistakes. But I would say it has urple prose among other things. If you read and have some advice it will be welcome, if you have a good laugh then great too, I aim to serve ![]() Either way, the one which is worth a MST was the other link I posted, the one from the pit (that is NOT mine, thanks Eru) Edited: Since the version from openscrolls is more correct (I corrected some mistakes) I put that link too for those who are registered: http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=4377 I AM THE QUEEN OF THE EDIT! ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR!

Oh, it's okay if it's a prompt. Sometimes there is no way around. And if you did swap, you had to do request if you asked for your own. I like doing prompts, even when they mean you sometimes have to do an AU. It's challenging to try to keep characters in-character, even if the situation is different. After all, Rumil and Eowyn never met as far as we know in canon. Who is to tell it couldn't have happened? Which version would you like a comment on? I'm registered on both lj and OSA. |

Okay. It was short, since OSA has a character limit. It has its problems, but not something I'd spork when there are wronger things out there. Such as Unrepentant, Unforgiven. With rapist!Eowyn. |

Wish it never happened. We can do without some new breakthrougs. What's worse, it inspired another author to write a long sequel where her Sue heals Legolas. She expands evil!bitch!Eowyn even more than Unrepentant, Unforgiven. Sue isn't too Sueish, as such, but willingness of the author to go on with this is apalling enough to make this fic particularly loathsome. ETA: The fact that said sequel was written by the author of "Don't Panic" kind of makes it even more uncomfortable. She did say it's AU, but only as far as Elven sexuality goes, so...still no excuse to write ebul!Eowyn. She could have blamed the stress, the war, have her be genuinely regretful...but instead she made her into a selfish, vile bitch. |

Thank you for reading again, I have replied to the review. Now I am going to delight myself with that link. True rapist!Eowyn is something I have never seen before. Better prepare the bleach for my eyes. AND EDIT AGAIN: Oh this time the limit came from the Het Swap, not OSA. I am not sure about OSA having limit, I have read fanfictions there with really long chapters. I will look in the rules at OSA, just curiosity. |

I have a question, is there some thread where I can recommend stories, not to spork, but the ones I consider worth reading because I think they are good? |

I saw the reply and since replying to a reply is impossible there there, I understand why you did what you did, and that you didn't know some things when you wrote this. But the problem with "no sex with married persons" wasn't for Eowyn, it was for Eowyn's mother. She would have been married then, right? Unless she was a widow, but I don't think you mentioned it. And I meant that OSA had word limits for reviews (only 1000 characters), not story. ETA: For recs, there is "Antidotes" thread. |

For LOTR "antidotes" (as we call them), you can post them here: http://z4.invisionfree.com/Refia/index.php?showtopic=124
