The Official Fanfiction University of Middleearth
Pairings: Gimli/OFC
Warnings: Mary Sue parody. Well done, but still a Mary Sue parody fic.
Summary: Badfic authors are forcibly educated, and Gimli gets the girl.
Comments: I’m rarely fond of Mary Sue parodies. They tend to try to hard. But this is well done, and actually sweet. My biggest problem with it is that the narrator - a badfic author - gets too many privileges, but considering how bored I got in the sequel where the badfic authors are less redeemable, I think the author’s caught between a rock and a hard place on that. And I seem to be going on a Mary Sue parody kick at the moment, despite the fact that they’re rarely any good. Alas.
Multi-chapter, complete.
