In honor of Fellowship's 10-year anniversary, I wish you members of the Canon Protection Initiative a "Mary" Christmas with this new PPC. Comments and criticism welcome! :)
I spent this entire story clapping my hands like a seal and cheering. It truly is a dash of nostalgia for ten years ago! Well done, entirely well done.
Did you pick the story for Boromire or for the chance to have the Eye burn the Sue to a crisp? :D
Aww, glad you enjoyed it! I should be winding up my PPC writing within the next year or so, so it was a pleasure to give a badfic justice again.
Actually, I didn't see Boromire until I was well into writing the PPC mission. Then, much like Mara, I had the vaguest sensation that I'd seen that mini before. So I looked him up on Miss Cam's list, and thought...holy cow, that's PERFECT! Also, the Eye burning the Sue to a crisp was just something I came up with on the spur of the moment.
Now, what did get me PPCing was the author's treatment of the hobbits. NOBODY gets away with that.
Ah, is your gang retiring? Well, you've certainly put in enough years at it! (Checked the old board for the first time last week, and I think you and hS were about the only two names I recognized. Ten years is an aeon in Internet time.)
The thing that just made me bang my head on the nearest wall was that there could be a Lady of the Black Riders. Not that she was female--I suppose Sauron could have corrupted a woman to his will as easily as a man, sure, and one could write a fine tale about one of the Nine having originally been a queen rather than a king--but that she behaved like a human being with a free will, and was even visible! Nazgul, how do they work?!
And geez, nobody does that to the hobbits and gets away with it. So the ending was entirely poetically just.
