The Fic


Alec led Mel into the world of the PPC HQ. It was a world of bland gray corridors that seemed to lead nowhere. Agents dressed in black mostly wandered around muttering to themselves as they tried to get somewhere quickly. Intersperced with them were minis of all sorts and the occasional giant plant that moved along ... somehow. It was best not to think about it. One agent walked around holding something in their hands like it was completely dear to them. A second agent patted the first agent comfortingly on the shoulder.

He stopped at a room marked "3b". The one next to it was marked "π" and across was labled "Broom Closet". A funky smell was coming from the broom closet.

"Okay... before we go in,my partner, Marc-C is gonna be in there. She's... cranky. But don't take anything she says personally. She just hates everyone."

Mel's grin turns downright evil. "Great. I like sharp pointy things. Do you want anything?" But she's keeping track of how many people are ruptured or close to it. And hobbits could keep coming at you, even if you shoved them out of the way.

"Nah, that's alright," Alec led Mel to where the Council Scene (tm) was to take place. Theoden got right down to business.

He began to speak, “Attention, everyone. I would like to thank you all for coming today. But we must get straight to the heart of the matter. The One Ring has been found; and with it, the means to destroy the whole world. The only way to destroy this ring is to take it into the fires of Mordor.” With that last sentence everyone was quiet. They were shocked, he could tell. Then everyone started talking at one.

As he talked Elrond flickered into view and then vanished in the same place at Theoden. It was kinda odd.

"So, Mel, tell me, what is wrong with that last paragraph?" Alec felt it was never to early or late to train people.

"I don't think he ever says 'thank you for coming today.' And 'at one' should be 'at once.'" she says, considering. Mm, sword. Screw diamonds, cold hard steel was a girl's best friend.

"They don't pause a minute, either. They just... start talking." she shrugs.

"Verra good on the technical sense. Now here's what's wrong with it logically. According to canon no one knew about the one ring being found except Gandalf and later Elrond. Elrond knew so much about the one ring because he was around when it was made and he's the scholarly sort. He even knew how to destroy it and it's entire history which has been lost to man. In fact if you recall, the ring was thought lost. So why would a king of men know about it, if it is lost? Only the elves and the Wizards would remember it, much less how to deal with it.

"See where I'm going?"

There was a pause. "Yeah, I think I do." Which means not really. She should have rewatched the movies.

"How did they find out? Because..." hand-wavy. Logic go out window in Sue Stories.

"You're thinking too hard. These are things that the author should have thought of before writing the story. Because she hasn't thought about it we get giant plot holes that destablize the world."

"Okay. How long do we have?" she's drumming her fingers against a wall. Maybe hitchhicking with the PPC wasn't too bad.

"The end of the Fic. Paitence grasshopper," Alec said with a grin.


There was silence. Theoden looked torn. Finally, he spoke, “I do not want you to go. This is a dangerous mission. But you are right. If we don’t accomplish this task, all of Middle Earth will be destroyed. I know that if I tell you no you will go off anyway. Yes, you may join them,” a gasp could be heard around the room, “We have here a fellowship of 10. God be with you.”

".... there is no Jesus in Middle Earth. She did NOT just say that there was a Jesus in Middle Earth!"
