Why this must be read:

Anyone who has dared to brave the pit of darkness that is FF.net’s LOTR section will now that the most evil of demons dwells there. It lurks in the shadows, predates on innocent Elves and desecrates good writing wherever she goes. She is Mary Sue, and there is not a soul alive who does not fear her. Or finds her extremely annoying, that is.

This story, however, gives the Mary Sues a chance: as most of these stories start, a girl is cast into Middle Earth and joins the Fellowship in their quest to destroy the Ring – and no, she is neither capable of seducing Legolas nor manages to resist the Ring. With a nod to many well-known LOTR stories, Java Green gives us this humorous, entertaining story of a girl in Middle Earth… and her obsession with Gandalf’s hat.
