Ficcishness: a rec, and an O_o

[tree_and_leaf]

Firstly: what on earth would inspire someone to write Eomer/Frodo MPREG? It's bad enough in the HP-fandom, when you've at least got the hand-wavium of magic (though it's still a bloody stupid idea), but ... in Middle Earth, with the world's most random pairing...?

Secondly, on to happier matters. I feel compelled to point out to those of you reading this who like Doctor Who to nostalgia_lj's ficlet in the Marthathon, in which the Doctor tries another approach to Doing Domestic:

Contains references to cricket which are worth the price of admission alone... er, you know what I mean

Do Eomer and Frodo even exchange lines ever?

[tree_and_leaf]

I'm pretty sure they don't.

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Maybe off-screen, at the troth-plighting of Eowyn and Faramir in Edoras. That's when the Mpregnation occurred, too. ;)

LOL, that's seriously the most bizarre thing ever.

[tree_and_leaf]

Mpregnation is a brilliant word! If only I could find some way to drop it into casual conversation....

I mean, I'm pretty much a die-hard canon-shipper, but there's plausible ships, possible ships, batshit insane ships - and then there's Eomer/Frodo Mpreg, which would be painful to contemplate if you could stop pointing and laughing.

[mrstater.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I can't stop laughing long enough to think about how horrible that really is.

Actually there was a pretty decent Faramir/Frodo story many years ago (before the films, I seem to recall), which is equally mind-boggling if you stop to think ... but that wasn't Mpreg. So THAT'S alright then!

(Also the writer slotted the affair neatly into Canon).

(Actually this is pretty rich coming from me - who slashed Aragorn with Shagrat)

[tree_and_leaf]

While that might be classed by some as 'batshit insane'†, it can't compete with man/ hobbit with added mpreg....

† Not that being batshit insane's necessarily a bad think - I rather enjoyed your Aragorn/ Shagrat, though that's not something I would ever have envisaged myself typing :)

[grondfic.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thanks.

[tree_and_leaf]

Also the writer slotted the affair neatly into Canon

Which is impressive if you can manage it - but I don't think I could ever get past the point where I was screaming "BUT HE'S HALF HIS SIZE!eleventy!one!"

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Oh, so there's Éomer/Frodo, too? I had heard of Faramir/Frodo before, where the mpregnation of the wee hobbit (why is it always the hobbits that are knocked up?) occurs because of the magical qualities of Faramir's super sperm. Yes, fandom broke my brain.

And nostalgia_lj's contribution to the Marthathon is utter brilliance indeed. But I should also point out seti_drd's ficlet for my request to you -- it has medicine, ankle-twisting and zombies (http://community.livejournal.com/lifeonmartha/21739.html), and I think you might like it. And it will help you to take your mind of the LOTR MPREG.

[tree_and_leaf]

Poor wee Frodo. Hasn't he suffered enough? (What would the Professor say, one wonders? - although I suspect onewould have to bring him round, first).

As I can't resist the sound of ankle-twisting and zombies, I shall hie me off to read seti_drd's ficlet.

If you could syphon off the energy created by JRRT gyrating in Wolvercote Cemetary, you could power the entire county of Oxfordshire for years.

[tree_and_leaf]

If you told him about the mpreg, you could power London!

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Including the lights on the London Eye!

[tree_and_leaf]

And probably open up the void, thus unleashing a horde of daleks... maybe we'd better not, even if it would do a lot for the UK's carbon balance.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

But think of the environment! And the snarky black Dalek was funny, anyway.
