Although I should mention... "Galadrianna is technically legitimate Elvish. "Galad" = "light, brightness" and "rianna" is a word for "lady".
The stealing the Ring and the hair colour I can definitely flail at, though.
Hey there, all PPCers! We discovered a particularly godawful pair of LOTR fics a few months ago, starring a rather obnoxiously overpowered Sue named Talana Tathdel, and decided to spork them. The first is being given the mission treatment, and may not be released for a while yet, depending on how we progress.
The second, however, we decided to MST instead, and just finished with. Therefore, as a slightly early Generic December Holiday present to you all, we're publishing it for you to (hopefully) get a few giggles out of.
And, to be completely honest, to stop ourselves from gutting it any further. It was probable that, given enough time, we could've found a riposte for every single sentence, but it might have got progressively less funny as our brains slowly liquified.
As an advertisement/warning/both, Here There Be Excessive Amounts of Gutter Humour, And Monty Python Jokes Aplenty.
We invite you also to savour the knowledge that we hold what are presumably the only surviving copies of these now-removed fics, and have taken every liberty possible with the original text.
Enjoy.

I found another Sue who pulled that one. Another granddaughter of poor Galadriel's, and is named after her... because isn't "Galadrianna" a k3wl name? She has auburn hair, too.
On an unrelated note, oh noes! He threw her clothes into Mount Doom! Teh horror! Horror and h4xx0rs!

The fic is hosted on Quizilla.
There's also a sequel. Zotz and I are working on MSTing them. (Or we were; now it's mostly me.) It's mostly copy and paste from the movie script, except she's left out most of the interesting bits.
Only, when I got to that part, there was a lot more wailing and gnashing of teeth. It's a rare fic that can actually make me cry out in anguish, but you DO NOT take Galadriel's Ring! ARGH. For that alone she deserves to die.
Excellent MST, though. I personally adore the Python saturation level. Because there's never a wrong time for Monty Python quotes. *g*

Thank you very much. ^______^ The Python was primarily fuelled by Lycaenion, but as a dedicated Pythoneer myself I leapt to follow her lead.
This was actually really fun to do, but writing MSTs takes such a godawful long time - you're always finding somewhere else to insert a riff.
And don't worry about death - in the mission we're doing, "The Elven Ranger: Tenth Member of the Fellowship", the Sue will be offed before she ever gets near Galadriel.
