What did I just tell you! There is no chapter 16, so beat it. Oh unless you were kind enough to write some type of review. In which case please feel free to read the next part we lovingly call: A whole bunch of kissing up. There's so much praise we had to reorder half way through.
 

RAM: Well I hope you eventually managed to find my MST, wherever
    you have gotten too. I do not know how much I have been able to
    stop a Mary Sue (My odd sense of humor tends to only work on
    those who are willing to think about it at least for a moment. Sadly,
    I suck horribly at shock value. There's just no hope for me). On
    another note, it does in fact appear as though that certain fic I did
    MST has vanished from the site, and I feel a little bad about it.
    Maybe it's undergoing a reconstruction. All I ask is please, no
    froth-barrier. That's just disturbing.

Mbradford: I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, at least I hope the tears
    aren't from my habit of routinely missing typos during that long
    editing debacle. I have to admit, I really really came to despise my
    main Mary Sue (Mar) as this story went on. For a few scenes I
    almost forgot to even include her. (This also happened with Legolas
    in one scene, good luck figuring out which one). If I could
    recommend a few other good parodies I've come across: "From
    MarySue to MarySue, The Legolas story", "Charisma Goes Abroad,"
    "Me, You and a Hobbit Named Sue," "Mary Sue Parody Parody"
    and "Concerning Mary Sues and Other Essays" among a few others.

Fuzzy Hobbit: Thanks for the review and all and I hate to be the one to
    tell you this, but it actually is supposed to be funny. So laugh, laugh
    your head off. Even if it's at the fact that I can't do humor, as long
    as you're laughing I got my job done.

Laura: Thank you for the more more more. I cannot help but be
    reminded of a certain show produced in the Twin Cities area that
    involved a few robots and bad movies and one of their earliest praise
    was exactly that. Frankly I hope Legolas isn't as dumb as I make
    him otherwise I wouldn't have trusted him with a bow and quiver
    full of arrows.

Madmartigan: I hope you enjoyed my other MSTs although I must
    admit I have been working on them for, hang on, carry the one,
    replace that button, oh since about 1999, so if some of the early ones
    seem a little bit, well, stupid, please forgive me. The fact that some of
    my latest ones are stupid are completely my fault though. So feel free
    to blame me for those.

Emerald Griffin: I haave to aadmit it waas difficult not to go baack to try
    aand fix some of my earlier chaapters. But what's interesting is that I
    wanted to show how some writers will have an almost script format in
    nothing but dialogue and I kept that feel for the first few chapters.
    Then I really got tired of it and had to stop. Little warning if you ever
    plan on writing a parody that is stink-o-rama, do it in short bursts with
    plenty of water and rest between activities. And don't go writing until
    thirty minutes after you've eaten.

Obelia medusa: Thank you for helping in getting my review count through
    the roof (Well it is through the roof for me). It is nice to have some one
    tell me what few things I did right in each chapter so I know what to leave
    during the great demolition. I'm not so good at that, I guess I just like to
    take the whole story in and the digest it. Or maybe I read too many essays
    by Bacon. (Whatever you do do not take 'Of Studies" literally. I have yet
    to find a sauce that can make digesting any book easy.) I had in fact
    completely forgotten that Sev Trek and Fraud of the Ring called everyone's
    favorite Wizard of Many Colours Sourman. That name for me actually was
    born of a misspelling. Yeah I accidentally typed Saruman and then I thought
    it'd be funny if I just misspelled his name throughout his chapter. In the first
    chapter, I spelled it right. Or it is a reference, whatever. Now I just have to go
    and finish reading your epic masterpiece assuming I can avoid having to help
    rain those little doggies. People no matter how cute they look, having three
    black labs is just asking for trouble.

elfiegurlofleggy858: Wow that's a lot of X's and O's. What about Q, I always
    feel that poor letter doesn't get enough use. Sorry, was getting side tracked
    there. I'm also sorry Im a realy bad writer I will try better in the future. Oh
    who am I kidding, no I won't. Also in the end I chose Frodo to be the
    star/straight man because it just made the most sense. FOTR is all about that
    little hobbit and he is the main focus of everyone's attention so it would be
    best if he reacted to everyone else going insane instead of him being insane.
    But I'll still get on that not being able to write thing.

Tindomiel: I'm really glad you enjoyed this so much you think God himself
    would find it hilarious. Although I'm sure He's got much more important
    things to do. After all, He can't go back to His reading until He's finished
    His chores and Order of the Phoenix just hit stores in heaven.

Kate the Great: I don't know why I should even talk to you. I'll just see you l
    ater at that stupid county fair. Oh wait that's right we're on. In defense of the
    actual person who wants to go on and become a writer she only helped me
    with one chapter, and I did ignore quite a few of her helpful comments (See
    lazy). So she is in no way responsible for this gurgling pile of drudge. I'm
    sure she can come up with her own gurgling pile of drudge all on her own.

 Merigold: Thanks, have a cookie. (But not just like my mom used to make.
    She's a big fan of having the cookies catch on fire) For a while I actually
    thought about continuing and mocking the Two Towers and Return of the
    King. Then I realized that one I am still too lazy and two I had screwed up
    the timeline too much. Frodo was originally going to head off into Mordor
    not with Sam but with Merry and Pippin, and with my version of Merry and
    Pippin they would have lasted about of two and a half minutes. Plus my
    straight man, Frodo, was leaving a lot of the action behind. I suppose, as I
    never really gave Aragorn any character (another lazy little move on my part),
    he could have suddenly become a second straight man, but I'm fairly sure
    those two cousins would have lost the ring somehow. Oh well, there's
    always next summer.

Tinania Lindaleriel: I'm glad you can follow directions. I do hope that if and
    when you do actually read this stupid thing it doesn't turn your brain to
    mush. I've been getting that a lot. Well I'm out of words, but given the
    choice would you choose P or Q?
 

Well that's really it and now I think I'd best be putting my brain to better use and need to be weeding the garden. Have fun reading! Toodles.
