Haha! I loved the riffs. Not so fond of the fic itself.

Quote:
 
Now it was Shikara’s turn to raise an eyebrow.

Feanor: Will their eyebrows have a merry meeting too?
Ara: That is called a ‘monobrow’.

Definitely not the look of the season.

Quote:
 
Will: I have a very strong aversion to this word, “sexy”.

Aww, poor Will. How about 'smexy'?

Quote:
 
Legolas: A staff/OC romance. Now that is a pairing I did not think I would see.

Rule 34...or was it 35? I can't remember.

Quote:
 
The One Ring answers to Saron alone.

*Gives Saron some bacon.* This one needs a home too.

Quote:
 
Ara: Exactly how close was she sitting next to Aragorn?

In his lap, from what I'm seeing.

Quote:
 
Ara: Dog!Sue. I didn’t see that one coming.

*Shudders as she remembers a Sue that actually turns into a dog.*

Quote:
 
and I could see the pain in his eyes too. We had felt the same pain.

Jack: Telepathetic-ness!

Quote:
 
Legolas: Who’s “Saron”?

The latest addition to the mini-balrog orphanage.

Quote:
 
Now I was pissed.

And that was when everyone at the Council realized she was drunk, and therefore, she was promptly escorted away back to whatever dark pit from whence she came.

Quote:
 
Ara: So she can’t remember anyone else’s names apart from Aragorn, Legolas and Boromir.

Notably the three sexy -- sorry, Will-- smexy ones in the Fellowship.

Well done for getting through this.

*Bows* Thank you for appreciating the epic struggle I went through to do this. Blah, getting through just that first chapter was bad enough.

I think I've heard of these Rules but what do they refer to?

Quote:

Smexy's fine if it's not being used by rabid fangirly Suethors!

Weird, but I had somewhat similar thoughts when I read Shikara's o-so-wise assessment for the first time.

Thanks for the review Tel! :D

Oh, and don't get me started on the mini-Balrogs. There's some really funny and unique ones coming up in later chapters. . .wait till you see how she spells 'Dwarrowdelf'!

I think that rule 34 is that if you can think of it, then it exists, and rule 35 is if it exists, there will be porn of it. But I'm not sure. :P

*Shifty eyes* What about semi-rabid fangirls?

And I thought saying it was the hard part.

People really don't give enough credit to the sporkers who have to read these fics in detail... I pity you, Ara!!

That was an epic spork, I loved it! (Well, the sporked version at least. I don't think I could stand reading the original by itself!)

How many minis in that chapter? Two? We could just about go into the black market for mini-Balrogs with all the minis that we find! Poor babies...

Good luck with chapter two!

Where are those Rules, Tel? I've never heard of them either....

Haha, maybe! ;)

Thank you so much, Xaja! I actually started working on this spork back in November some time then I got distracted. Ah well, glad you liked it.

Gah, it seems to be a requirement of Suefics that there be mini-Balrogs spawned all over the place! Being a spelling and grammar nerd, it nearly killed me to sort through the horrible thing!

Thanks for the reviews, guys!

My feet landed softly on the dirt

Will: Followed separately by her arms, legs and head.

Did the Wolverine get to her?

Quote:
 
I saw Legolas talking with Aragorn. Wait! Aragorn? I thought he was with Arwen! Oh crap!

Crapping in public is illegal, Sue.

Quote:
 
Legolas: I do not appreciate these various incarnations of myself being spied upon constantly.

Oh...um...*hides Legolas pictures behind back.*

I'm enjoying your sporking very much, Ara! This Sue is one of the more ludicrous ones I've seen.

I have no idea what got to her. Stupid Sue.

*Stuffs away pictures of Legolas and Will Turner* :P

I know, this particular Sue is driving me up the wall with her stupidity. Thank you, Tel! :)

*hides poster of Will Turner whilst attempting to whistle* Oh, um, what poster? I saw nothing!

I'll have you know, my team read that and are now having a major twitch-fest. I've been trying very hard not to screech out loud from the shotty grammar.

Good grief, my 12-year-old brother acts older and more mature then this twit of a Sue! Gah!

Once again, kudos to you for risking your sanity to bring us another chapter of your sporking talents! Great chapter!

Well done on not voicing your opinion so vocally! :P The grammar, the plotline, the Sue-ishness - everything about this fic is really cringe-worthy. *shudders* Thanks for the review!

He explained as I dug in my pockets looking for my gold. I pulled out a few pieces of gold and handed it to him, but he didn’t take it.


Let me get this straight, she was about to pay to get her mother's diary from a bookseller who stole it from Elrond? First off, what moron would steal from he of the Eyebrows of Doom? Second off, why didn't Elrond give it to her in the first place?

There's something dodgy about the Sue Sr./Saruman pairing there. Christopher Lee isn't a looker at all, but he makes such awesome bad guys.

That bit about the palantir and the ring is stupid. How in Arda would that affect her reaction to the ring? They aren't even made by the same races!

And seriously, casting a spell to make her however mommy wanted? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having kids?

I have no idea what the answers to those questions are - let's just say that they're massive plotholes.

We must remember, dear brethren, to have compassion on Suethors *cough*with a big stick*cough* for their unending and incomprehensible hardness of heart when it comes to canon.

Thanks for the review!

Ara: Well, that implies that Boromir to this very day still doesn’t trust Shikara, but the feeling was only mutual in the past. But if it were mutual in the past, doesn’t it stand that to this day the trust would be—
Will: You’re making about as much sense as Jack.


Jack: That's a compliment, luv.

Quote:
 
“You are only seventeen years of age then? Very young to be on a journey like this.” He stated raising an eyebrow teasing me.


It's good to see that someone still has some vestiges of common sense. Sadly, he is slowly losing it too.

Quote:
 
D’Artagnan: Well, there is—and for Sues, it involves you.


Legolas totally asked for that. :lol:

Quote:
 
My eyes felt a little puffy from crying but I knew in a few seconds it would go away.


Has this Suethor ever properly cried before? It takes ages for the puffiness to go away, as in twelves hours!

Quote:
 
Ara: Gimli no worried. Gimli just dwarf. Gimli not hot enough for harem.


Lucky Gimli.

Quote:
 
“It’s moving fast,” I began.
“And against the wind.” Boromir finished for me.


SHE STOLE BOROMIR'S LINE!!! :angry:

Great sporking, Ara! Boat-Sue is absolutely ridiculous, what with her being BFFs with Arwen and her urple book and the wuv at first sight with a dumbed-down version of Legolas.

I'm getting round to reading Aurelia as soon as I can - I'm sure I've seen that fic somewhere before.

Aye, too true. *Shakes head sadly*

LOL! I couldn't help myself! :D

I wondered about that one myself. It's so that Little Miss Boat can look all sad and angsty enough for Leggy-boy but not all puffy-eyed and looking like she's hungover. Which, incidentally, I believe she is.

Grrr! I know! Bloomin' movie line plagiarism!

Thanks! Sporking is fun but this one can be something of a nightmare. Thank you for the review!
