I should know better to browse in the Black Pit of Mordor... I mean, ff.net's LotR section, but my train wreck impluse is too powerful to fight sometimes... God, if I see another 'Girl Falls into Middle Earth', 'Me and My Friends Stalk the Fellowship, Tee Hee' or any original character who falls for a Fellowship member (well, maybe not Gimli or Gandalf *chuckles*). Call me a purist, but unless your name is Rose Cotton, Diamond of Long Cleeve, Estella Bolger or Arwen Undomiel, I don't want to see you locking lips with a Fellowship member. Yes, that goes for slash as well, unless you are a DAMNED good writer and can convince me that two guys that appear to be straight are having a torrid gay love affair.
For the record, for Merry and Pippin's wives, I did have to consult my book... I'm not that big of a geek... yet...

And not only is my Muse Mistress of the Plot Bunnies, she lives in a different time zone (namely one that thinks 3 AM is peak time for writing) and seems to be somewhat arrogent -- my main fic motivation is usually 'I can write better than these hacks'.
