That's a much better simile than what the Suethor uses!


Elrohir thanks you- or would, if he was not still unconscious from the fake Elvish-induced headwalling.

Wow, did Atton turn into an Orc?


Atton: :wasntme:

*applause* Wonderful ending!


Why, thank you! :D

Quote:
 
Well, they are in "An Elf's Love". Remember that scene with Legolas' and Rosa's auras?


Oh, dear Valar. I do hope Herenya is not related to Rosa.

Quote:
 
I love it!  Where can I get something like that?


Rugan says they were running a buy one, get one free sale, so you may have the extra one if you'd like it. Apparently he has already repaired ours. <_<

Quote:
 
I think the name "Hollin" is listed on the DVD. Don't give the Suethor too much credit.


Oh, that explains it, then. I was beginning to wonder- especially as the Suethor confessed she's never read the books. Not that we couldn't figure that out on our own, mind you.

Quote:
 
Yeah! ROCK DESCRIPTION! That's even more exciting than the kindergarten scene from "Silent Times"!


*deadpan* Nothing is more exciting than the kindergarten scene from Silent Times, except perhaps the Retarded Baby Legolas scenes.

You and your sporkers have great ideas for entertainment, Luthi.


Why, thank you! :D It comes with going to college in a town of 2,000 people where the only entertainment is Walmart. We have to be creative.

Did you get that from "The Charlie Brown Christmas"? I love that cartoon!


I did, indeed! :D Glad someone else loves that, too. :lol:


Thanks, Jules! I'm so glad this one is over...

Boromir and I sympathize and wish him well. We've passed out from reading badfics before and we know what it's like.

Nah, Rosa wasn't Galadriel's daughter. Rosa was the daughter of the King and Queen of Syria, which is an Elf-kingdom in Middle-earth, according to Phantom's Ange.

I'll take it! Mind you, I won't need it until I MST my next LotR fic. I haven't seen the Alice in Wonderland movie, so I don't know when Angey is plagiarizing that.

Ain't that the truth. Still, it's pretty sad that she doesn't even know that Glorfindel rescued Frodo. Even Suethors who haven't read the books know that by now, from reading other fanfiction.

Nah, the kindergarten scene is the most exciting. The Retarded Baby Legolas scenes are bogged down with hints of plot or conflict; we don't have to worry about that in the kindergarten scene.

Where'd you go to school? I was in a similar situation; I went to Kenyon College in Ohio.

Elrohir, who is currently in the corner with his fifteenth bottle of... some alcoholic beverage, thanks you for your sympathy and extends his sympathy to Boromir over the atrocious characterization of him in this fanfic.

That is both a relief, and a statement that has made me lose all hope for the Lord of the Rings fandom.

It's in the mail and should get there by Friday. :D Oh... well, it will come in handy when you get back to LotR fics. :)

Tell me about it. <_< I suppose, for her, movie-canon trumps anything else.

Oh, that's a good point. Why would we want something like plot or conflict in a story we're reading? It might turn it into semi-decent literature, which would elevate it above the paragon of all books- Twilight!

I can not believe I just typed that, even in jest.

I'm at Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas. There are two colleges in this town- and I'm pretty sure that between the two we make up more than 80% of the local population.

Boromir thanks Elrohir for his sympathy. Actually, the characterization of Boromir in this fic wasn't as god-awful as I expected. Sure, Herenya bashes him a couple of times, but at least he doesn't try to rape anyone.

Not to mention losing all hope for the world. How can anyone over four not know where Syria is? At least Angey's not writing in this fandom anymore.

Well, this is true. Herenya is too focused on Sauron to have any time to run away from Boromir, so he settles for being vaguely annoying. Actually, being annoying to a Sue is a good thing. :D

That is an excellent question, and one which I've been pondering for quite some time. And as relieved as I am that Angey's not writing LotR fanfics anymore, I still feel sorry for those other fandoms.

Really? I wonder if that's just really common in American college towns?

And I hate to say this, but the Suethor has reposted this story. Apparently she didn't take it down, the site did- which might possibly have been a direct result of my reporting it several times for plagiarism.

Wait, wait. The Sue wants to shag Sauron? :O_O: Huh. I guess she has an eyeball fetish. And I want Boromir to stab the Sue next.

Quote:

It could be. There seemed to be a lot of small college towns when I was applying for college, but on the other hand, I wanted to go to a small school, so maybe I was just ignoring the larger ones.

More like the Sue is so speshul Sauron wants her for his very own. :rolleyes: The only thing Sauron would really want Herenya for is to conduct a study on how much torture Sues can take before they disintegrate into urple sparkles. Yes, I'd love for Boromir to stab the Sue as well. Here's hoping...

Perhaps the size of the town is relative to the size of the school? Then again, I know of a very large state school about two hours away from me that's located in a town of 3,000 or so people. *shrugs*

My sporkers and I called Sauron and asked him about this. There was a moment of silence, a loud shriek, and I'm pretty sure he fainted. That is, if it is possible for a giant eye to faint...

:rofl: Poor Sauron! I don't think it's possible for a giant eye to faint, but when Sauron was sporking "The Fellowship Hits Hogwarts," I pictured him in his fair form from the collapse of Numenor.

It was said that when an ancient was to tell a story, the story would appear in the water.

This rubs me the wrong way on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.

Quote:
 
In truth the young elleth had been to the garden on numerous occasions and each time she entered, it was as if, it was her first time.

Atton: Does this pond have a DVD player installed in it?
Luthi: Talk about Liquid Crystal Display.

*rimshot* :D

I suspect the writer put in a comma whenever the actress playing Galadriel paused for effect. At any rate, thinking you have to include a voiceover from the movie and provide justification for the accompanying imagery is just silly.

Quote:
 
Nadorhuan Cowardly Dog; Thought the child.

This puzzles me, because it has huan to match with dog, which implies the writer is getting some input on Elvish from somewhere. Come to think of it, the narn = story from earlier comes up in Narn i Hurin or whatever that title is, although it evidently means "children" rather than "story". But Elvish doesn't use k as in kwentra, so . . . I REALLY don't understand where the writer is getting this stuff from.


Quote:
 
And about the tree I helped it to heal so if you looked for it you'll only see a small dot."

Evie: She healed a tree by turning it into a polka-dot?
Atton: *as Herenya* These new medical shrink rays work just great.

:lol:

Quote:
 
"Do you ever seize to amaze me"

Luthi: *as Herenya* No, most of the time I shoplift out of habit. Though every once in a while I do it just to show off.

:D


Quote:
 
All she knew is that what ever was in her garden was of great evil.

Atton: She suddenly realized she was the only thing in the garden, and keeled over dead of shock.

*snerk* :D

Atton: I think you need to take the semi out of your colon, Wolfie.

the smell of the grass was breathtaking,

Luthi: Allergy season!

Yvaine: *as Pippin* If it can't think up any better joke than that, I don't think I've much to worry about.

Agreed!

Quote:
 
Will he survive the journey he is about to go on?

Don John: Or will he fall into death and despair?
Yvaine: Find out on next week's episode of Frodo Baggins: The Man, The Myth, The Legend.

Another good one! :D


Quote:
 
Yvaine: *excitedly* An accent mark for Ara’s collection!
Elrohir: No, you have to move it over three letters…
Yvaine: No. Mine. My own. My precious.
Elrohir: *edges away*

*giggles*

Quote:
 
Evie: Perhaps something caused a chemical reaction that made the joy break down into confusion and disappointment.

Code:
 
     Mary-Sue
Joy -----------> Confusion + Disappointment

Makes perfect sense to me.

Quote:
 
Luthi: Murdered by pirates is good!

Is there any line in The Princess Bride that isn't quotable? I think not.

Quote:
 
Yvaine: Yes- what is it with men and asking for directions?

Asking for directions is boring. Getting lost is fun.

Quote:
 
"I ignored it at first but now I cannot" Elrond's voice came out emotionless "He was here two days ago and now he's back and I cannot ignore it any longer."

Luthi: *as Elrond* Aragorn must be made to take a bath.

Winner.

Quote:
 
"The day you came here The Great Eye did not come here till you went to sleep and he only left when you awoke. Now he is here again.

. . . . . . . . . . . . What.


Quote:
 
Luthi: Okay, that’s a little extreme. I mean, if she helped him rule the world, couldn’t she convince him to be more benevolent or something?

Saruman agrees! ;)


Quote:
 
"My old sword, Sting." The old hobbit said whilst picking up the short sword "Take it! Take it!" He told Frodo enthusiastically.

Atton: Five seconds later, Sting exploded, taking Frodo and the Ring with it.

*giggles helplessly*

Quote:
 
Elrohir: *as Sting* Give up the She-Elf, Halfling.
Atton: *as Frodo* With pleasure. :D
Evie: At this moment, Sting plunged itself into the Sue’s stomach, tore out its entrails, and then did a dance over its dead body.
Elrohir: :huh:
Evie: Sting is very talented.

Very talented, indeed! :lol:

Quote:
 
Yvaine: Confronted with logic, Dumb!Aragorn and the rest of the OOC characters in this travesty promptly exploded.

*snerk* Whee!


Quote:
 
"Frodo, I thank-you for caring about me but…" she sighed "I'm just going to have to tell you the truth."

Elrohir: *as Herenya* I’m in love with-
Atton: Sauron.
Luthi: Lurtz.
Elrohir: :blink: I was going to say Boromir…

I think we have a tie between these three. And what's with the persistent hyphenation of "thank you", anyway?

Quote:
 
Luthi: Nothing yet, but after spending fourteen straight hours playing Apples to Apples with a group of college guys

Apples to Apples rocks. I don't know how my patience would hold up in that situation, though.

Quote:
 
Elrohir: Let out a cry of rage and flew at the Sue, tearing out its hair and clawing at its face…
Don John: Which actions resulted in the unnatural creature falling over backward into a pool of acid.
Atton: The acid slowly ate away at the Sue’s body, while Frodo ate popcorn and watched.
Luthi: Eventually nothing was left of Herenya but a pile of urple sparkles. Frodo was hailed as the great deliverer of Middle-earth, and a huge party was thrown in his honor.
Yvaine: Even Sauron attended, grateful for being rescued from such a pretentious idiot.
Evie: And they all lived happily ever after. The end.

I don't quote them all because this post is going to be long enough as it is, but I find your lengthier additions to the story (such as this one) quite amusing.

Quote:
 
Atton: *as shoulder guards* We must protect the Sue’s shoulders from all intruders!
Luthi: *as arm guards* Look out! Sensible statement at twelve o’clock!

Oh snap!

I wonder, if one were to build a Plagiarism Alarm™ for oneself, would that cause either the original Plagiarism Alarm™ or the duplicate to go off?

Quote:
 
*Plagiarism Alarm ™ sounds yet again*
Atton: *covers his ears* Can I fry that thing?!

Personally, I would've hunted it down and smashed it after the second or third occurrence. Your sporkers have great patience. Or resilience. Or something. ;)

Lust. What a strange fate that we should suffer so much angst and annoyance over such a small thing.”

Why, it’s the wonderful magic of wish fulfillment!

No earthly idea. I think it's an attempt by the Suethor to look smart by using every possible method of punctuation in this story.
