This was pretty damn funny hehehe although I don't have a huge hatred for Mary sue in some parts, not being above it in myself in some cases as killing off parents to make life easier, but i do so try to avoid self loathing characters, I'm a happy person at heart and I just can't keep up with hatred, so yeah that was great to see mockery ^^ also - there's nothing wrong with brown eyes! hehehe i also have a somewhat hate for "and then i fell into his world" fics and only put up with them on occasions in which the original story of whatever you're writing about caters for this kind of thing. Naturally in the case of middle earth it is just unnatural! so yeah, i guess in short - all support to you oh basher of the mary sue ^^

He, that was great! I'm glad that Saruman finally got the girl. I wish Gimli could get the girl too, even once...

This was funny. While reading this, I could tell your obvious contempt for the cliches of the Mary-Sue. Way to go on expressing your views! Go for one on Harry Potter next :-P

"radiate her sadness like beautiful, big sapphires that radiate sadness."

"you are a half-elf, even though you were born in another world where Elves do not exist and were born to two humans"

"Everyone decided that the focus of the story needed to be about Ashley, because Tolkien's work wasn't good enough for them."

That was... sniff... beautiful.

LOL! This was incredibly funny and very refreshing. You have revitalized my attempt to make my characters non-Mary-Suish. Thank you for your review on my fic, btw. It was actually very helpful, and I've gone back to reading the books (haven't read them in a while... I forgot how interesting they were!!) This fic really lightened my day. :) Thanks!

Aw, man! This was too short!
It ends after Moria just when it was starting to get interesting!
I'll keep this in mind when I write stuff.

Aw... Saruman and Ashley... how sweet!
Mary Sue satires are almost as done to death as girl drops into ME, aren't they? But now and then, you actually get a well-written Mary Sue, and you get laugh-out-loud satires.
Like this one.
Only most of the time I was giggling.
I can't put my finger on it, but somehow it must be the mixture of almost serious Mary Sue, slightly over the top, completly over the top, and snarky remarks, served up in that slightly naive matter-of-fact writing style.
Anyway, it's great, with exactly the right amount of being mean, and the right mix of clichees (portal to ME) and new ideas (Kleenex is a portal to ME).
I especially like that you ridicule the Mary Sue, but not the writers - most of them are pretty young, after all.
What I also like are your reviews - one of them got me to your bio, because I'm impressed when readers take the time to point out mistakes instead of just writing "U suck" or not reviewing at all.
Figures that writing clear, objective and helpful critics gets you flames. Personally, I find flaming a story because the writer wrote an honest (and perfectly polite) review is so obvious a sign of lack of talent and will to improve, it just make's me grin. "You dint like my story, now I flame ya, signed Coconut Orange". Right.
Keep writing those reviews. Stories too.
(Sorry for being awfully lengthy)

omg lyk ashey iz so kewl!11!one!

You know, one ponders, why do fangirls spell cool like those ciggerettes? Hm...

Anyway, great!! And oh so funny...but you didn't spend enough time describing her! Where is the run-on sentances and huge paragraph that no-one can read? Where are the miss-spelled adjectives that are useless, anyway.

Ah, but never mind. 'Tis good, anyway ^_^;
