Oh, this one is love

So, anyone been following Mander!fail? The LOTR archive fiasco with the clueless boy who thinks he's got this Brilliant New Idea to make money off fandom? Hell, even if you haven't...

Have a brilliant fable-version of the affair.

I especially loved the "wizard from the coast" bit.

Is it wrong that this makes me laugh hysterically? Fandom's been needing a big new wankstorm, and this one is shaping up to be ridiculous.

[branchandroot]

I think this totally deserves to be laughed over. Most especially that the idiot boy seems to really, honestly be this completely ignorant. And resistant to clues. My god.

[phoebe_zeitgeist]

Isn't it lovely? And, is it evil of me that I want to read the next chapter, wherein the peasant women take cover and the dragon comes down from the tower and convinces the city boy to leave those rocks where they were?

[branchandroot]

*snickering* I totally want the next chapter, which will most likely involve dragon-shelters and much head-shaking over the idiocy of the boy out in the field. And vegetable soup.

I mean, seriously, I never thought it was coincidence that it was /Disney/ who bought out Fanlib after they started putting up Kingdom Hearts fic. I imagine the Tolkien estate will be more into the stompy-squashy than the "maybe leave you /part/ of your shirt" buy out.

Priceless

And only in fandom

[branchandroot]

*grins* Yeah, you gotta love the things people do with these moments.

[seagull2eagle]

That is a writing of utter beauty. ;D I love fandom!

[branchandroot]

Isn't fandom great? *grins*

[kenllama]

[branchandroot]

*snickering* I loved that one.
