Fandom musing

[kippurbird]

A while ago, I hit upon the idea of writing a sort of parody/examination on the girl bamfs into Middle Earth fan fiction. My reasoning for this was, "How come the LotRs fan girl always ends up in Middle Earth and the Harry Potter fan girl ends up in Hogwarts?" The likelihood of that seemed rather abnormal, so instead I decided to write a story where three LotRs fan girls did not drop into Middle Earth, but instead into my world, which they mistook for Middle Earth because to be honest everything they learned about Middle Earth came from the movies and other fan fiction.

(If you must read it -and I so need to go over it - you can find it here)

I got a review today from First Gurl Rider who wanted to know "what this story had to do with Lord of the Rings"

I replied to her saying that it was a parody/satire, basically explaining to her what I mentioned above.

Then, out of curiosity, I checked out her profile. She has four stories.

I think this is stupid. I'm posting it anyway. Stupid being the key word here. Beware, will not read flames!

Which makes me wonder... how is my story any less having to deal with Lord of the Rings than her stories having to do with Harry Potter?
