a bit of mini-wank
Just some amusing mini-wank from LoTR...

I followed a link to a puzzlingly bad fic ("His mind, wandered to the raven haired beauty that had ensnared him for all eternity. His heart would always belong to her." Oh, gag me with a spoon...) from the marysues community over on lj.

I found this in the reviews:

"my, my. someone sure does have a nice case of telepathy.
don't know if what i speak? let me fill you in.
i'm an avid member of the role playing world, and within the last year and some months, i have aquired a character by the name of Gaelwen Tathariel.
want to know who she is? the daughter of Gil-galad. leader of an army in Gondor. Faramir's life-long love. she binds herself to him. she even had a little run in with Haldir in her younger days.
one reason i'm writing this review, is because it seems to me that this story is a little too close to my roleplaying character for comfort.
and trust me, i'm well known in the community, and here on ff.net. don't know me? read the BreeGirls. i'm Lily.
fel free to e-mail me about it at Skullgurl48@hotmail.com. until then, i'll continue to belive that this is a stolen idea."


That's funny enough in and of itself (I have no idea who this woman is, but the whole "I'm well known in the community so ph34r me!!!" thing is amusing), but then it's followed by swift backpedalling:

"i just wanted to sign this again and apologize to Lucien and the readers for my last review. i jumped to conclusions a bit and didn't give the author a chance to explain the situation. in fact, i was wrongly informed of a few things, and i will say that it is sheer coincidence that this story and my roleplaying character are very similar. it was an honest mistake.
with that being said, i hope you enjoy Lucien's story, as i have."
