The Official Fanfiction University of Middle-earth by Camilla Sandman (PG-13)
Hi, I'm paranoidangel, your Lord of the Rings driver for December. All my recs are from people who haven't been recced on Crack Van before (at least in the LOTR category). I've got a little bit of variety for you to start with, but then we're pretty much going to descend into my favourites: Elrond and Aragorn.
Fandom: LORD OF THE RINGS
Pairing: Various canon pairings, Gimli/OFC

Why this must be read:
My first rec is an 'I can't believe it's not been recced before'. Partly because it's very good and funny but also because it's very big in the fandom.
The basic idea is that there's a university where students can learn to write good fanfic. Only thing is, the university staff are characters from The Lord of the Rings and they like to torture students. Especially students who throw themselves at the staff.
Most of it is seen through the eyes of one of the students, Lina, whose lust object is Legolas, naturally, and it's about her year at OFUM, which includes the delights of Grammar Boot Camp (where students have grammar drummed into them - literally). It sounds like a horrible place but as I read more I couldn't help but think how much I'd like to be there.
If you've ever seen people talk about mini-balrogs or urple, this is where they came from.
There is a sequel, but that's still a WIP and isn't, IMO, as good as the original.
