annafan chapter 39 . 3/4/2013 I've now read all of this, and absolutely loved it. But this chapter is my favourite. The thought of them all wincing over the unlikely sexual pairings is brilliant. (My second favourite bit is the quick allusion in passing to novel uses for a fake silmarillion). |
Guest chapter 64 . 2/25/2013 I laughed so hard on every chapter! How do you do it? great ending! Thanks so much... I wish I could join you at OFUM! |
Guest chapter 62 . 2/25/2013 Who is the ultimate evil!? |
Guest chapter 38 . 2/25/2013 ooooo... thanks for fixing Radagast |
Guest chapter 37 . 2/25/2013 you fail "What's in a name" his name is Radagast not Rabagast |
Guest chapter 32 . 2/25/2013 rofl every single chapter...how do you think of these things! |
Guest chapter 11 . 2/25/2013 THIS STORY IS SOOOOOOOO MESSED UP AND SO TOTALLLYYYY AWESOMMEEEEEE! |
ocean-of-ink chapter 1 . 2/25/2013 I love this story! It's ridiculous, but in a good way, and I'm amazed that you managed to fit character development and plot in a story like this. |
Aria Breuer chapter 64 . 2/22/2013 After plugging away at this story, I must say you did a fine job. Then again, OFUM has disaster written around every corner, and how the students there survived... well, I won't go on about the topic. I liked the mini-Balrogs and the fact that Lina matured from fangirl to a realistic OC, which helped progress the story. I do like the fact this story targeted all the common misunderstandings that occur throughout fanfiction, even on this site. I did find the GrammarBootCamps all right, since they helped me remember definitions and such. Good work with this story. While I found myself laughing in various scenes, this story felt, in a sense, as a guide for how to write fanfiction stories. -Aria Breuer |
Aria Breuer chapter 52 . 2/22/2013 Another good chapter. I had to look up the Balrog's fiery whip in the book, 'The Fellowship of the Ring', and it turns out you were right. I must have confused the tentacles to the Watcher in the Water. Anyway, I'm glad and relieved that Merry and Pippin corrected the students about hobbits, but also how, though hinted, Merry and Pippin did mature in the books. Then again, I'm getting tired of everyone mocking them, the Fellowship, and the customs of Middle-earth. Once again, good work. -Aria Breuer |
Aria Breuer chapter 51 . 2/22/2013 Good story so far. That was a good prank on Merry and Pippin's part, at least in this chapter. I'm still laughing at the fact that Morgoth has to spend time with Ungoliant and Shelob. The GrammarBootCamps, once again, are useful and essential to those who have trouble with grammar. I'm still enjoying the mini-Balrogs, since they seem like another comic relief in this story, apart from everything else happening at OFUM. Good work. I look forward to reading the rest of the story. -Aria Breuer |
Aria Breuer chapter 45 . 2/22/2013 Once again, this story proves its good and a guide to help those notice what are the terrible stories on this site, and how writers can improve their work. I'm giving this story a second chance, since I'd figured it's been good so far. Again, you have a few spelling errors here and there throughout the chapters, but they aren't that bad and I was still able to read through the story without too much trouble. I do enjoy the mini-Balrogs. I agree that they have taken on some personalities of thier canon counterparts. I wondered when some form of plot-bunnies would show up, but I'm glad you put them in here. I know plot-bunnies aren't the fault of the writers but the rabbits themselves - still, it is interesting how they sneak themselves into stories, with their... sometimes interesting and out-there ideas. I do like how Lina's maturing throughout this story. She seems realistic for an OC and I can relate to her situation. Good work. -Aria Breuer |
Aruraina chapter 64 . 2/9/2013 This was quite possibly the best story I've ever read on this site. Thank you for the magnificent journey and I hope to see an application to the academy on my own desk one day. X) and of course, I'm super glad you gave Gimli extra highlights xD |
Wordspin chapter 64 . 1/29/2013 I finally got around to reading this, and I must say it was an amazing read. Witty and realistic, it really made some very valid points and was quite spot-on concerning the horrors a large branch of fanfic writers put Tolkien's characters through. The portrayal of canon characters was fun to read, and witnessing Lina's maturing as a person (and a writer) was definitely worth it. And of course, mini-Balrogs and Wring-wraiths and breads-on-legs made everything even more fun. All in all, I think this is a story every fanfiction writer should read, as it would help those who need it to better understand just how Tolkien meant for things to be. Certh |
Zelara chapter 26 . 1/26/2013 "Every name spelled wrong in _Rings_, a MiniBalrog gets its 'wings' " Surely he means its shadow? |
