Bored of the Rings/Fanfic Recs

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Bored of the Rings Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure. Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations.[1] Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. Likewise, warn if it may head into non-canon territory.

Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Recommendations Template

Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)

  • Recommended by: Troper Name[2]
  • Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
  • Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
  • Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with Characterization Tags if doing so would be equally indicative. ("uber!Harry" for Harry Potter, for instance.)
  • Comments: If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want Conversation in the Main Page.

General Fics

Stories which primarily focus on the normal goings on of the cast.

This Is The Way We Scrub Our Stye by Rich Drushel

  • Recommended by: Looney Toons
  • Synopsis: Like Peter Jackson's The Return of the King film, Bored of the Rings ended without anything resembling "The Scouring of the Shire". This fic seeks to correct that. When Frito, Spam, Moxie and Pepsi return at last to the Stye after all their adventures, they find it changed beyond all understanding: It's clean, well-kept, and orderly, and all its inhabitants have energy and a purpose, along with a rudimentary grasp of personal hygiene. And above it all, the dread idiotic grin of Dickey Dragon flies. The dark wizard Serutan is not dead, but has turned the Stye into his new lair. Naturally, our heroes will have a thing or two to say about that.
  • Comments: A witty, spot-on "addendum" that exactly mimics both the narrative voice of the book and its signature style. And it still manages to be funny, despite that.
