It just doesn't make any smattering of sense. A Ringwraith named Sarah? Sam falls madly in love with a Ringwraith? Why? Why would that be funny? I guess here I am guilty of being a Tolkien purist who gets up in arms with too much liberty taken with his story. There just didn't seem to be any reason...*shrugs*...I mean, I've read it a couple times trying to see if I'm just being mulish but...there has to be a line somewhere when it comes to spoofing another person's work.

Anyway, by posting Keeper of the Feet of Melkor asked us what we thought, and I'm just being honest.
