The fandom could really use it. If you try to torture me through the TRC OFU, I'll break your brain again. General Kurogane was only the start. Of course, it wont take much for me to start heading in the direction of Kurogane-sensei and Fai-sensei...

No, not at all. This isn't canon any more than PJ's movies are canon for LotR. That is the only thing they have in common.
Alex Kingston is doing Mrs. Bennett in this. What a waste of her talent!

See how much you'll enjoy it when an OFU opens for TRC. Becasuse I'll drag you into enrolling for that kicking and screaming if necessary.

Now, where were we? Oh, yes. Killing this despicable shatterer of classic literature. I volunteer to join the sporking of this. I agree with MSTing the episodes. And then maybe sending the results off to the producers. Along with a message:
"We don't know or care where you found this Mary Sue. Just get rid of her before we come and do it for you. Oh, and here's something that Austen fans might actually appreciate."
On the other hand, if we do decide to go and mob the BBC headquarters, I volunteer to be part of the mob. Preferably the part waving a torch.

Although it is rather an interesting idea. We don't have to be unaware of who the admin is, but it doesn't need to be brought up in general discussion. That way, if someone or something new starts kicking off, that admin can step in and fix the problem witout being singled out as a target. Maybe a little more like the DIA than the DIS. A tiny group wholly dedicated to the PPC's protection, rather than a group dedicated to bullying and silencing those whom they didn't want around.
And I'm babbling. I'll shush now.

That sounds like blatant Sue-age.
I'm not a big Pride and Prejudice person myself ~ I read it, but it was quite some time ago ~ but this cannot be tolerated.
And on TV. As in, some sort of official publication.
. . .
Does this mean it's turning into canon somewhere? That's a seriously scary thought. *shudder*
Well, I don't know the fandom that well, but if you need mob volunteers... *waves hand* I'll bring some torches. I don't have any pitchforks, though; someone else will have to bring those.

"Wicked" was done well. This is NOT.
But they've been doing it to P&P for years, just not so obviously. There's at least one book out about the lives of Elizabeth and Darcy's four daughters, and I recall another one, faintly - it all sounded like rubbish.
Still, this calls for desperate measures. Makari? WHERE'S THAT ACID? *eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil cackle* Sulphuric, flouric, AND hydrocloric!

It is not entirely fit for young ears but it exists. I'm screaming it at the top of my lungs right now. I am trying to restrain myself from throwing my macbook across the room in a fit of rage while this phrase zooms back and forth across my mind.
It rhyme with 'buck toe' and it is all I can say. You just don't mess with Mister Darcy. Oh Gods, I bet she's shipped with him, isn't she?

I think you--or I--may be confusing two badfics--"Sanctuary of Arda" is the LotR/HP/Dragonball Z crossover, like Eni said. There's another fic, "The Black Wizard of Middle-earth" or something like that where he goes to Beleriand, becomes Harold the Black, and makes Fëanor OOC. I could be wrong, though.

Woe to Pride and Prejudice: legal Mary Sue fanfic! by

From the Mary Sues LJ community:
Mary Sues: Officially Sanctioned by British TV Writers
Ladies and gentlemen of this fine community, I have harrowing news for us all. The common Mary Sue is now invading the TV. She will soon be broadcast to British television audiences in a brand new series, titled Lost in Austen to be shown on Saturday nights.
And if it's not bad enough, they're messing with a national treasure. One of the greatest books to come out of England's green and pleasant land.
Oh yes, she's about to rape Pride and Prejudice.
The basic premise is: an "ordinary girl", fed up with her life, gets pulled into the world of Pride and Prejudice and starts messing up the world of the canon characters. Unapologetically. Only she is the key to the world of Elizabeth Bennet: there's a hole in her wall that leads right to another world!
*sharpens knives*
*and teeth*
*and toenails*
Whaddaya say we get a mob together?

Personally, I guess I don't like it because it requires the admin and all the mods to be trustworthy. If someone out to get us got mod powers, or for that matter, if there was ever a nasty debate involving a moderator, there'd be no accountability at all - the moderator involved could edit whatever she pleased, and nobody would have solid proof of who had done it. (Not even the admin - that's one of the limitations of the system.)
I prefer the "break glass in case of fire" approach to admin powers - they really should only be used when there's an obvious need - spammers, trolls who wouldn't go away when asked nicely, and so on. As long as discussions stay civil (and we've got a great track record when it comes to that), we shouldn't need admin intervention at all.

"Sanctuary of Arda" ? It seems abandoned, but the story is here: http://www.fictionalley.org/authors/keiran_halcyon/SOA.html
I'd be no help with your second question, though. It's been a while since I read LotR.
