LotR Badfic report... by Rosie Azrael on 2009-09-11 10:03:00 UTC Reply

Would somebody kindly kill this... this... this thing, please? It's not too terrible, by the standards of the fandom almost generic, but...

She made Bilbo blond. And claims to have known him since he was 11. And has lived among Hobbits -- No, excuse me, "hobbits" -- for a hundred years -- no, wait, "year".

Did I mention that she's an elf?

Oh. And... "Rivendale"... And OBVIOUS Movieverse... And she goes by the EVER so original name of "Amdireth"... Because we don't already have someone who was raised under a name meaning "Hope" in the fellowship, noooooo....

She takes a nap with Frodo lying on her chest...

Stabs a Ringwraith without any consequences...

*sigh* It's a Legomance...

I would kill this myself, but I have too long of a kill-list as is, and this... it just hurts me... She steals all the thunder from my two Favorites...

*stops abusing ellipses, sighs, and wanders off, shaking her head, shoving a link to the atrocity into the post at the last second*

"Later that night, we were sleeping, in another building away from the Prancing Pony, when we all of a sudden heard the black riders scream, causing everyone to wake.

“What are they?”Pippin asked.

“They used to be men, Kings of this world. But, the rings given to them changed them. By using their greed for power, the dark lord changed them into his followers, doing his biding.”

“Why are they after us?” Sam asked.

“They are servants for Saruman. They are drawn to the evil that the ring carries.” He replied. “We must leave here.”"

Seriously, what? Most badfic writers at least understand slightly better than that.

She doesn't seem to have read the books. by Rosie Azrael on 2009-09-16 09:14:00 UTC Reply

Like, at all. And was probably too busy oogling Aragorn to pay attention to which badguy these creepy things served...

As of now, the continuum is boned. by Maudlin Hart on 2009-09-12 00:51:00 UTC Reply

That's even worse than Galadrianna.

Cara and Miriam could use third-mission fodder. by kgarrett on 2009-09-11 12:17:00 UTC Reply

I'll talk to Cass about if she wants to kill this one once we're done with the one we're currently doing. I've got a bunch of missions in progress, myself, and other writings, but we've already got a pair of Agents working the LotR shift, so I figure why not?

It's only two chapters in. by kgarrett on 2009-09-11 20:47:00 UTC Reply

As of right now, there's not enough to work with, but we'll keep an eye on that fic while we're doing our other missions.

I think it's killable by Spud avec on 2009-09-12 19:32:00 UTC Reply

The charge list doesn't need to be as long as your arm to be viable, and after a skim, I think there's enough to get it to the point that the 'Sue deserves killing.

(Hey, if I'm writing something for Fight of Metal Gears, I'm sure something this size is manageable, haha)

I was just worried that there wasn't enough to make a good m by kgarrett on 2009-09-13 10:25:00 UTC Reply

-ission out of it, really. Besides, it's been made recently enough that there's still the risk of it being updated while the mission's being written or even after it's done.
