Things like the PPC or OFUM, which don't seem to take themselves quite seriously, I enjoy very much, but it's difficult to find good serious LotR fanfics.

What exactly do PPC and OFUM mean?

I don' know what those mean, but lord of the ring satire, if well done, is great. Someone go read "Lord of the Whatever" and see what I mean.

Er..sorry.

"PPC" stands for "Protectors of the Plot Continuum"...it's a story where, basically, two agents (I think that's the right word) have to go into fanfics and get rid of the Mary Sues, etc, and return the plot to normal.
OFUM is the Official Fanfic University of Middle Earth, where aspiring fanfic authors have to go to get certified. You get taught by all the characters. It's quite funny.
Both of them can be found on www.misssandman.com

As a rule i really dislike fanfiction of any kind, including parodies, the thing is i did make up a character in my head, and it totally interferes with the plot. But i didn't do it on purpose and i would never actually write it down and put it online in hopes that well i dunno, whatever people hope to achieve by posting fanfiction...

I still can't get on FF.net. Nooooo!!!! I really need to delete a fic that was going to the Mary-sue side.

I am definitley against fan fiction on lord of the rings. Tolkien wrote these amazing books, and for someone to come along and try to add to what he did! Yuck!

O.o Queen of prolonged unexplained absences and long, loooong car rides. Well, hullo everyone. As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers!
