All right, Darth -- only for you. I'm posting this before I sober up. I think my favourite part is how it switches styles from badfic-bad to archaic-purple in places. Only a truly talented author could do that! I'm glad Legolas forgot about his silly Dwarf infatuation and married a Maiar. He deserves it after putting up with all those lame non-Elves in the Fellowship. Even if Thingol didn't attend the wedding. I guess he was just upset over not being special and exclusive in his Maiar-marriage any more.

True. I have to admit that was a really excellent story, but it really kind of miffed me and made me feel inferior, almost like she was showing off or something (you know what I mean? trying to raise the standards for the rest of us)!
The art of The Simpsons and the tales of The Silmarillion compliment one another perfectly and don't make me feel bad, because I never had any pretensions of trying to learn how to draw.

The more I thought about it, the more I liked the concept of ART. So, here is your happy birthday Romance Novel cover, Niere: (If it doesn't suit, you can make your own also! www.glassgiant.com/romance/ )

The more I thought about it, the more I liked the concept of ART. This is excellently awesome! Thank you, Oshun! (You know I'd totally buy this in a stack of other, more respectable looking books at Borders or someplace, right?) I also saved that link. I absolutely know it will come in handy for something very serious and not ludicrous at all.

Oh, and I meant to say, Oshun:
Doesn't Mr Valiant look über-stylish?! I mean, look at that hairstyle! Woo!

I thought he needed that for the cover of a soap opera romance novel. Thanks go to Sirelle (who spends entirely too much time checking out the latest top male models) for the face.

All the time in the future you see about hover cars but the dinosaurs with the hats and signal lights would be a much better way to go. I like the idea of riding them to the local pub. Not so sure about the mylar saddles though...
This fic is so not fair. I didn't know we were allowed to do science fiction. I think I've been limiting myself here.
An iguanadon might be a sweet ride, but I'd go with an apatosaurus myself. It would be like an SUV.

I liked the last part the best.
I really sympathized with Elladan because I flunked a written driver's license renewnal test once because I didn't think I had to read the booklet. It was not at all intuitive: lots of signs that one was supposed be able to identify by shape only (really stupid because they always have words on them!) Also, if I had been asked if an iquanadon was a carnivore or not I would have had to Google it.

I recently stumbled across an unnatural confluence of my favorite works of fiction/art - "The Simpsons" meet The Silmarillion. This absolutely needs to be made into a movie. Or, better, a television series. Really. It also reminds me of the time I used a Simpsons character generator to make Glorfindel and Fingon.

*Wipes coffee spray off monitor* If I had any mad skilz with Photoshop, I'd construct the image that keeps popping into my head: Homer J. Simpson as a sleeping (and drooling) Morgoth, Lisa as Lúthien tripping the light fantastic and Milhouse as Beren going for a Silmaril. Then there's Gandalf's Apprentice's challenge.

Oh, piffle! I have it on good authority that the lady in question dashed it off under the influence of two fingers' worth of Herbsaint liqeur and let the typos roll. While my twenty-eight chapter epic badfic languishes in obscurity! Is there any justice in this world? Darth -- your story was wonderfully bad, but my favorite detail was the culligan tank. Elrond watching Three's Company was mirthful too. It is now a moral imperative for someone to do that. ;D
