Yes– Hiss! Spit!

P.S. I believe the story should start at the Painted Pony (because don't all fan-fics start in Bree?).

We also need the obligatory scene in Rivendell where the Anti-Fellowship are sent on their perilous quest.
As well as having a mole in the Fellowship, how about them being hunted by a Tenth Nazgûl? They're quite popular with the more Gothically-inclined fanbrat.

I love the following:
1. That mother and daughter spend 500 years living in cosy domesticity with Daddy Sauron, in the heart of Mordor.
2. That dear old Durthren or whatever her name is, is so sanguine about Daddy murdering Mummy. "he took care of her, she could never hate him.."
3. That Elrond is her grandfather. Why? How?

That's nothing. There's one where Frodo is Galadriel's son... and there's a Ringwraith named Miguel... and the Mary Sue is a TV-obsessed American teenager who reforms Sauron through the power of lurv (he was just misunderstood, anyway– had an unhappy childhood).
I could go on... You won't believe the things these kids come up with.
Morthoron is right– we need a coherent plot, even at the risk of improving on our models. You
can't write something more ridiculous than what already exists
