Can I just admit that I'm addicted to LotR fanfiction? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

You haven't done this yourself, by any chance, Esty?

EDIT: fixed bolding.

EDIT2: update. I just discovered a great Mary Sue– named Nerwen! (Author must have got the name off a list somewhere, as she's clearly never read any of the books, let alone UT.)

She rides a unicorn.

... as mentioned by the Lovely Estelyn, can be found right here on the Downs: Revenge of The Entish Bow and its sequel, The Reunification of the Entish Bow -- and I don't say that becase both Esty and I participated in the writing thereof ...

As someone who writes both original fiction and fanfic, and published a fiction fanzine for about 14 years, I've read or seen just about every permutation of fanfic in existence -- and ah, the tales I could tell, the horrors I have seen, and the occasional delights. But that's a long, long story.

For myself, I don't care much for angst or H/C or Mary Sue or whatever fics (just give me a plain old good story), but there is one Mary Sue LotR parody that makes me laugh so hard, it hurts. It's called "Nine Men and a Little Lady" by one Kielle, and I believe it can be found here: http://www.subreality.com/marysue/nmaall.htm Personally, I find Galadriel's entry the most hilarious, but I have a rather odd sense of humor.

You know, if someone was busy procrastinating, they could probably make a bad fan fic drinking game... hmmm...
