Lord of the Rings:
Traveling Blind by I’Haldaandir
Fourteen-year-old Emily hits her head and mysteriously ends up in M-E unable to get out….but when she is rescused by the man (or in her case, Hobbit) of her dreams, will she really want to? kinda typical but at least no mary-sue(Rated PG-13 just in case
No Mary Sue, huh? You think that, l’Haldaandir, if it gives you comfort.
Emily, lady of the damned by Chelwad
Alright, so the race of men survived Saroun, the dark Lord, but Emily might be another story..
*giggles* I read some of this, and it’s the most awful tripe! Emily turns up in Middle Earth about a year after the War of the Ring, and immediately starts calling King Eomer “E” and referring to Eomer and Aragorn as “dumbasses”. Yikes.

A slightly AU fic. Please don’t go on about the things not in the movie/book! Emily and Amber had been friends since 7, Emily is hiding a very ‘strange’ secret, and they meet up with Legolas and Damien(oc) Will becom Amber/Legolas & Emily/Damien
Oh, man! I don’t get Leggy? Just a stupid OC elf? Not even a canon elf? Boy! I think I’ll go back to “Emily, lady of the damned.” At least Eomer is still single. . .
Wait!
Well, That’s Interesting by Jessy-J05

I hate to ask and sound like such an idiot, but exactly what is Mary Sue?
And moving on, do you have Jen’s new live journal address? All I have is her old Blogger blog.

A Mary Sue is an original character in fanfiction who is Practically Perfect In Every Way. She usually has an unusual color of eyes, hair, or both, is the long-lost relative of Harry or Ron or Snape or Dumbledore, and/or one of their love interests. She has unusual magical powers, without which it would be impossible to defeat Voldemort. She’s often an exchange student (usually from America, but sometimes from Beauxbatons or Durmstrang), or she’s been there since Harry was and we’ve just never noticed her existence, and that she’s somehow become either the fourth member of the Trio or has replaced Ron or Hermione. Most of all, she is a self-insertion, created just so the girl in question can sort-of-live her fantasy of going to Hogwarts and dating the Guy of Her Dreams and Saving the World.
She’s named after a character in an early Star Trek fanfic who not only had Kirk and Spock in love with her, but every other male member of the crew. Suprisingly, this does not make the female members of the crew jealous; on the contrary, she is everyone’s best friend. She manages to save the Enterprise, but only by tragically giving up her own life, whereupon she is universally mourned. She has since spread to other fandoms, and even occasionally shows up in original fiction. We like to call Hermione’s characterization in the PoA “Hermione Sue” because all of a sudden she has no flaws, can handle taking an insane schedule without almost killing herself, doesn’t interefere with Harry’s Firebolt and therefore never fights with Harry, knows absolutely EVERYTHING, takes all of Ron’s best lines, and is beautiful to boot. Drives us mad.

Thanks for the explanation. I have the same problems with Hermione in PoA (the movie, of course). And Ron’s character suffers terribly because of it.
