Wow... what I great responce! I'm glad there are others out there that feel the same way as I do! I LOVE you guys I really didn't expect that. Thankyou! Wow...
So here's some more things that Elrond finds annoying. He agreed to give us an exclusive interview.
Disclaimer: All these characters belong to Tolkien and New line. The problems... we only brought them upon ourselves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ON HAZANA'S VERY OWN LOTR TV CHANNEL:
Hazana: Hello and welcome. We are here in Rivendell to have a serious chat with Mr. Elrond Halfelven on this serious fanfiction problem: awful pairings. Welcome Elrond.
Elrond: *nods*
Hazana: So, what got you started campaigning against awful fanfiction?
Elrond: The general awfulness, no effort goes into these fics and none of the pairngs are true to the books, it would seem.
Hazana: Could you give us some examples of these pairings please Mr. Halfelven?
Elrond: One of them is Aragorn/Legolas, people just can't exept that Aragorn loves my daughter and legolas is (suprisingly) *ahem* straight.
Hazana: Do you have anymore examples?
elrond: Sam/Frodo.
It will never happen. Sam is LOYAL to Frodo not in love with him. Boromir/Aragorn.
This happens only rarely but these fics do exist. Again it will never happen.
Hazana: Haven't you complained before about how Mr. Boromir of Gondor is treated in Mary-Sue fics?
Elrond: Yes, in fact in almost every Mary-Sue fic Boromir is used as a weak plot device, showing how normal humans cannot resist the ring but the 'perfect' Mary-Sue can.
Hazana: What makes a fanfic awful?
Elrond: Bad Spelling, Bad Plots, Bad Grammar, Self insertations...
Hazana: Are there any exceptions?
Elrond: Of course.
Hazana: Tell me more.
Elrond: There are some rare gems, in which the self insertation doesn't dominate all the scenes, these are proof read and spell checked, have a decent and original plot. Although, these are very very rare.
Hazana: Which characters do you find are most commonly abused when people write these fics?
Elrond: I would say, although I fear I would be reapeating myself: Gimli, Boromir, Me, Arwen, Sam amd Frodo, there are others, including people like Glorfindel who people tend to leave out all together.
Hazana: Thank you Mr. Halfelven, Do you have anything else to add?
Elrond: I think that just about covers it. Thankyou for listening.
Hazana: Next time on my very own LOTR TV channel:
An interview with Mr. Gimli the dwarf on how he feels he's being misstreated in fanfiction and fanart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I met ELROND! Mwhaha! Go me! Wasn't I polite?
Quite short but I can write short interviews better.
I may write afew more of these interviews, like with people like Gimli and Boromir who people always write horribly and with people like Legolas (the book legolas not Orlando Bloom) giving him a chance to defend himself. Whattaya think?
