For all you poor, wretched, clueless souls out there who have no idea what the subject of this thread is, Fill The Plotholes is a simple game of writing a short fic or blurb (that is good) to match the summary of some randomly chosen fic with a questionable summary that suggests it to be of dubious quality.
The rules are simple:
1) Reread it before you post it. Just because the story the summary is from might not have the spelling or grammar expected to pass an English class doesn't mean your bit has to be the same way.
2) People can write for the same summaries, so don't claim it and expect to be the only one. So just don't claim! Write and post it up!
3) Try and make it original! This is not 'let's spork the badfic summary' or 'PPC mission extra light and with no added butter or transfat'.
4) Make it as long or short as you want.
5) There is no rule five.
And now, for the summaries!

This is awesomely funny and deserves to be plumbed to the fullest depths of Hogwarts' misery and my amusement. ^_^

This cliche has been poisoning the Potter fandom for so long, it's a relief to see it mocked. :D

---
The Elf sprinted down the corridors of PPC HQ. "No more Mary Sues," he told himself over and over. "No more being made to forget the Laws and Customs of the Eldar. A new life for me."
During his stay in FicPsych, he had learned that he was often mobbed by fangirls or fanboys, thrown out of character, and then his memory wiped. He had also learned of devices called contact lenses. They were usually worn to correct vision that was faulty even by Human standards, but sometimes noncorrective lenses were worn to change the eye color. And nobody would recognize an elf with eyes of any color other than gray, right? Just to be on the safe side, though, he had cut his hair really short before bolting.
"Where is the exit?" he muttered to himself, not knowing the PPC . "WHERE IS IT?"
"Legolas?"
Legolas turned to see Boromir--dressed in one of the PPC uniforms, but unmistakable by anyone who had been in the Fellowship. "Boromir? I require your aid."
"What happened to your eyes and hair?"
"I used blue lenses and cut my hair short."
Three minutes later, in the FicPsych staffroom...
"We have a message from Agent Boromir," said Nurse Pablum. He's found Legolas."
That last line should be:
"We have a message from Agent Boromir," said Nurse Pablum. "He's found Legolas."
"I don't understand it," the coroner said. "You say she was crushed by a..."
"A live tiger, yes," the officer replied. "It looks like it was dropped on her from a great height."
"Did either survive?"
"I'm afraid not."
"What a senseless waste of human and animal life," the coroner said, tagging the fanfiction writer's body.
Nice one! I can't believe we actually got all three (that I can thiink of) uses of 'ME'. Go PPC!
*snorfle snerk*
That is so TOTALLY something Fred and George would do. Quick-use polyjuice...not sure I want to think about the possibilities.
#1 Becoming the Creature
First Fanfic that i've published. OC who gets dropped into ME, but different because she has been tranformed into a tiger. Like in Breaty and the Beast she must make another see past her animal form to return to being human.
In the heart of Ithilien, two Rangers lay with their bellies to the ground, peering over the crest of a hillock at the strange orange-and-black striped beast aimlessly pacing the ground beyond.
"What think you, Damrod?" Faramir wondered. "Some creature of the Southrons? A beast of war escaped from its masters, perhaps?"
"I know not, my lord," Damrod whispered. "I have never seen nor heard of its like before. If it is the Enemy's, we should take it before they come seeking it. I'd wager these creatures aren't so common in the South that they would simply let one wander free."
Faramir did not respond immediately.
"My lord? Shall I shoot it?"
"I wonder at the beast, Damrod," Faramir mused. "It has not the manner of an animal accustomed to war. It seems almost timid, though it is handsome. If I had my wish, I should like to study it further, and learn what use the Southrons find for it. I take it to be a sort of large cat. Note the eyes—almost intelligent."
Damrod grunted. "If that is a cat, I should hate to see the mice!"
The men had a quiet chuckle.
"Ah well," Faramir sighed at last. "There will be time for wishes if we survive the storm to come. Take it, Damrod. I shall have to be content with studying a handsome carcass."

Here's my attempt. It's been a while since I've read the books, and I'm a bit rusty. Feel free to tear it apart.

The world spun and blurred, and it was all Harry could do to keep his grip on the Portkey. There were flickers of colour in the void, vanishing as soon as he focused on them.
Abruptly, the spinning stopped, and Harry felt his sneakers touch soil. His fingers loosened on the Portkey, and both it and his glasses clattered to the ground. There was a familiar smell of bone-dirt in the air.
He staggered backwards from the false Wand, stomach churning. The Elder Wand had been taken, and replaced by a transfigured Portkey.
He should have known better than to fall for the same trick as in his fourth year. He should have seen it. He should have known, but he'd been too focused on making sure the Wand was safe after Xenopilius had vanished.
Ginny was going to kill him.
All around him, there were pale bone blurs. Figures stalked through the cemetery fog, whispering to one another. Harry struggled to make out their features, but could only make out their hooded, bright-red dress robes.
"Who's there?" he called, raising his wand in one hand. "Lum-"
Someone grabbed him by the wrist. His hand spasmed, and his wand dropped through suddenly nerveless fingers.
"No magic, Potter." his assailant breathed. "The Dark Lord wants to talk with you."
"Harry."
The man's voice was high and cold. It was also completely familiar.
"Oliver?" Harry gasped.
"In the flesh." the one-time Gryffindor replied, moving closer. "Surprised, Harry?"
"But...why?" Harry finally spluttered.
"Quidditch."
"What?"
"Lord Voldemort promised me unrivaled Quidditch skills if I swore loyalty to him. He came to my house the Summer before the Triwizard Tournament,. It was an easy choice. The rest of my team agreed as well once I raised the question. As for Goyle here, we keep him around to fetch lost Quaffles."
Harry stared, his mind in turmoil.
"You can do the same. These dress robes aren't so bad once you get used to them. And with you as Seeker and with the Elder Wand, we'll have a team that will take the World Cup by storm."
Oliver straightened, looking Harry in the face for the first time since his arrival. There was an all-too familiar, maniacal glint in the older man's eyes.
"So. What's it going to be, Harry?"
"A young, neglected, teenager finds herself in her favorite movie/book, and falling in love with a character.. but will she be able to return to her old life if her being there affects the story? And what happens when she meets someone there from Earth? OC"
Alicia batted her eyelashes, and Legolas smiled down at her.
"Alicia," he breathed, "once the Ring is destroyed, let us live together for the rest of our lives."
"Live together?" Alicia said dubiously. She recalled something about Legolas sailing over the sea, so if they lived together for the rest of their lives...wouldn't that screw up the plotline?
Then Legolas leaned in even closer, and Alicia abandoned all thought and leaned in as well, and their lips were about to touch...
"ALICIA?"
Alicia shrieked and whipped around and spotted a dark-haired, bespectacled boy glaring at her.
"Who is this?" demanded Legolas.
Alicia swallowed. "Um...Legolas...meet my boyfriend, Brendan."

It was half past two AM ship-time, and SSV Normandy was making good progress towards Noveria.
Commander Shepard was in her quarters, asleep. The intercom chimed.
"Commander?"
Shepard rolled over in her and rubbed her eyes. "What is it, XO?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line. "There is a tiger in the cargo bay, sir."
"I must be asleep because I could swear you just said there's a tiger in the cargo bay."
"There is, sir."
"Is this a joke, Prestley? I am not laughing."
"There is a tiger in the cargo bay, Commander."
She sat up and thought. Assuming it was an actual tiger, it would qualify as a rare species specimen under Regulation TA77 and would need to be immediately returned to a nearby space station for processing and transport. The cargo bay would have to be disinfected, and the breach thoroughly investigated.
"Prestley, open the bay doors and flush it out into space."
"Commander?!" Prestley said in disbelief.
"I have a galaxy to save. Flush it out. That is an order." She closed the intercom. The hull of the Normandy trembled imperceptibly.
I'm glad you had a different take on it than I did, even if the end result is pretty much the same. ^_^
Out of curiosity, does ME mean something to you that I'm not getting, or did you just choose to disregard that part?
~Neshomeh
Really stacking up those Renegade points aren't you, Commander? Love it.
When I play, female Shepard is always renegade and male Shepard is paragon. I think it's the VAs, the male Shepard does paragon well but is poor with renegade lines, while Jennifer Hale really pulls the renegade lines off.
That was great! Really! I'm typing this five minutes after reading it, because I couldn't stop laughing.

"Legolas!" Gimli yelled, seeing a familiar figure across the cavern.
Crossing the cavern was made more complicated by the line of deep pools that the Deeping Stream ran through. Hesitant to mar the beauty of the chamber, the dwarves had constructed only the fewest, smallest bridges that they could. By the time that Gimli had arrived, Legolas had almost disappeared down one of the long hallways connecting to other caverns.
"Legolas!" Gimli yelled again, and hurried to catch up.
Legolas turned to face him, displaying on of the strangest things Gimli had ever seen. Attached to his face was a clump of wool, covering much of his mouth and chin.
"Who is this Legolas?" Legolas asked in horribly accented Khazad. "I'm... err... Durin."
For half a second, Gimli considered playing along. Then he remembered that he had Responsibilities to his caves and his people.
"Legolas," he said flatly, "You're six feet tall. You're maybe two-thirds as wide as the average dwarf. It's going to take a lot more than a fake beard to disguise yourself."
I'm giggling like mad. Thanks, Dann. Heee...
