Very funny. Too bad that the Sues still exist in the minds of the fangirls.

I like this; it definitely makes me chuckle. I hate all those slash pairings that make absolutely no sense.

I'm sorry, I found out I can't MST this fic, with one major reason: it's actually GOOD. So besides when the characters agreed with your comments, their riffs were just plain boring.

You'll have to make this story a lot worse...add some terrible grammar and a LOT of canon-raping and sappy romance for it to be MSTed.

Author's Response: I\'ll do the even worse version later

Hahaha! That's great. Love how with orcs, "puppy dog eyes" are literal.

Author's Response: I can\'t wait for your next installment. One of the substitutes has GOT to be an Elf . . . but which Elf? Great cliffhanger.

Thanks for the review!

Hilarious. I can actually picture this.

Oh, if only your drabble turned out true. I especially loved the "crystal tear"...that cliche is used in EVERY Suefic.

Author's Response: Heh -- I added that in the last edit. I\'m glad that it adds the right touch.

A very bittersweet ending. I am glad that Grishapat was redeemed. I wonder if his form will change now, like in his dream.

Author's Response: As for the ending, I thought this was the most logical way to handle it, sort of inevitable. When I got this idea for my story, I searched in several fanfic sites if anybody had already done it and if there was anything to say still. I found one story about an Orc renouncing evil and read it (I don\'t remember the site\'s name anymore). The Orc\'s name was something like Kalikali (I think), he was converted by Frodo and Radagast (!), and became the bodyguard of queen Arwen. After Arwen died in Lorien, the Orc married a stunted and tortured elf-girl and moved to the Shire. There he made friends with Sam\'s grandchildren and repelled the invasion of power-hungry elves. And then all lived hapily ever after. No kidding, this story really exists! After reading this, I decided that there definitely were still something to say (although I enjoyed the story in a twisted way). I almost wrote an epilogue to my story, where Carfin would stand at Grishapat\'s grave years afterwards, but decided to avoid any excessive cheese and decided to cut the narrative shorter.

This is a very funny story. I especially liked the orc fangirls (I can just imagine them!) and Gandalf killing the Mary Sue. It was creepy how much the Sue was like Rosa from "An Elf's Love"! I can't wait to read about when they get to Minas Tirith.

Author's Response: Thanks! Actually the resemblance is intentional. I read yesterday a few chapters of \"Middle-Earth\'s Last Hope\" and got a good laugh. I checked also another Mary Sue-story from the list \"The Worst of the Worst\" on the ff.net. The \"heroine\" was described having a \"thick waterfall of hair\". So Calamarydhilirosia is a mix of these two, and the one Sue with a magic fox. The song I translated was eerily fitting to be sung to a Sue by our heroes. By the way, I actually meant the story to end here, but now it seems best to end it with the Minas Tirith. More yodel coming!

This is a very fun piece. It actually brings me back to my teenage years--boredom, secret crushes, angst, etc. Moreover, it is quite believable. Good job.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like the story!
