The Very Secret Diaries, Cassandra Claire (PG-13)

[casapazzo.livejournal.com]

Let's face it - for all there is that is sigh-inducing and awe-inducing in LotR, there is also a fair amount that is giggle-inducing. Particularly if you have a good pervy sense of humor. To that end, I introduce the grandmommy of all LotR humor fic:

The Very Secret Diaries, by Cassandra Claire. (PG-13 for heavy innuendo. lots of it.)
Fandom: Lord of the Rings
Pairing: everyone/everyone else Slashiness abounds.
Author on LJ: epicyclical Technically, that LJ is for her HP fandom and cassieclaire is for her LotR fandom, but the latter hasn't been touched since March - likely if she does write more VSD after RotK, she will mention it on epicyclical.
Why this must be read:
You may perhaps be familiar with the wise saying "You wouldn't get very far in life not saying 'is.'"* Well, you can't get very far in LotR fandom without reading these diaries. Not because there's any particularly deep character insight in them, but you'll be far less confused when someone drops a "still the prettiest!" or "palantir better than cable" into the conversation.

Written "Bridget Jones' Diary"-style, the diaries take place during Fellowship of the Ring (FotR). Each member of the Fellowship has their own diary, plus Elrond, Sauron, Saruman, Gollum, Ringwraith #5, and Arwen. They are highly irrevrent, highly slashy, and very, very hysterical. I'm talking laugh-out-loud, covering-your-mouth-with-your-hands-so-your-coworkers-won't-hear-you funny. You won't watch the movies again without one of Cassie's lines (or your own variation thereof) popping into your head.

Cassie also wrote some follow-up diaries, set during The Two Towers,:
Legolas, Part II
Theoden
and Aragorn, Part II
