I'm terribly afraid that last one was me. Luckily I fell on my sword (pen? phallic-shaped object? Aigh!) after discovering creeping Suedom in an OC and haven't written LOTR fic in 2 years.
The Freudian/psychoanalytical commentary also hurt so good.

Hey, anybody can recover from badfic if they try hard enough! I'm very pleased you enjoyed this primer.
