doyle_sb4 linked to this Telegraph article, about the reporter's efforts in the fanfic direction. Eek, we're getting mainstream. Next thing you know, they'll be taxing us...

I found this ironic:

Fanfiction.net is essentially self-policing and includes a set of sensible guidelines: you're expected to give your work a certificate, and nothing X-rated is allowed. You're asked, quite firmly, to do your readers the courtesy of spell-checking your work, and so on. The members of this sprawling literary community seem, in the main, to observe the rules with some seriousness.

Er, this is the same Pit of Voles we're talking about here, isn't it?


And chicagoamy posted Cliff Notes to the RotK Film, courtesy of connielane. I would like to add
Jackson: And I will make millions! As you hapless fanboys and fangirls buy inot my franchise! I will laugh all the way to the bank! And the Oscars! My minions will sweep the board, a la Titanic!!! Bwahhahahaha!!!!
*falls down foaming at the mouth in an ecstacy of gloating*

Yes, I'm a cynic. *grin*

ETA: This is katsaris's script version of the Scouring of the Shire. Why oh why didn't Jackson hire him as a consultant?
*headdesk*
