I am sorry but I don't like fan fiction very much in general. Go ahead write them, but I won't read them.
On Robin Hobb's website you can read a whole rant about fan fiction and I agree with her. But I wouldn't send people to Mordor if they write fan fiction although I think Robin Hobb would.

I didn't mean it as a rant. Apologies if it was taken that way.
What else should be send to Mordor? Clothes for dogs! With this I mean clothes like the ones Tinkerbell (Paris Hilton's dog) is forced to wear. I feel very sorry for the dog who has to wear such things.

Just to comment briefly on what Lathriel said - while I obviously don't dispute someone's right to create fanfiction, for some reason reading it always makes me uncomfortable. I just can never get as into it as I do to the stories created by the original authors. I realize this is probably hypocritical of me, seeing as I write my own fanfiction. But, since I feel so ill at ease reading the fanfiction of others, I never post mine: it's one of those things I do for myself alone. I'm always willing to share my original fiction, though.
Who would I send to Mordor? Gee, how can I answer that without getting political? That's a tough one. Okay, I'll go a different route, then. How about we send all closed-minded bigots in general to Mordor. Although, that would make us closed-minded and would probably put us in the same category as those people, lumping them in one category and shipping them off. I wouldn't mind sending some of the New York Yankees announcers into Mordor. I swear, most of them don't speak English - and it's supposedly their first and only language. My father and I have a joke that if you were to ask them, "What language do you speak?" they'd reply, "None." "Other than English?" "No. I speak no language." Well, this is a phonetic interpretation of what the average call sounds like: Duh pisch tuh Deter...lu-WING enna miss. Snike tree! Translation: The pitch to Jeter...Swing and a miss. Strike three! And no, that was not exaggerated in any way, shape or form.

The lack of published Quenya makes me rather sore
As it is quite evident that if there were some more Ambiguous Quenya grammar could be a lot more sure And so this deficiency goes directly to Mordor. |

Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and their loathesome reality shows should all go to Mordor, along with teachers who spend the entire school year reiterating what was already taught. That really annoys me.

It's been many years since I've been in High School but I would assign busy work such as the end of year crossword puzzles or word searches that you had to hand in after working it all day in class. Why? Because the teacher didn't think it important to prepare a lesson. I mean seriously a word search...what do I really learn from that?

I hereby assign whatever amount of caffeine my sister consumed to deliberately mispell Michael as "Miocuhaiealy" as revenge for mispelling her name, and causing me to nearly choke on my nacho chips straight to Mordor.
I suspect this is a variation on the British/American spelling wars and is already in Mordor, but ah well.

I thought there was a non-worded agreement to keep this thread light-hearted and non-political. In any case, I doubt anybody would disagree with you, lmp, though perhaps the generalisation of "All Terrorists" would please people a little better.

I would like to assign overzealous political correctness. Why is it so wrong to ask for a black coffee? It's just a colour!

Since when has it been wrong to ask for a black coffee?
![]() One element of PCness that amuses me is the substitution of "Caucasian" for "white." Caucasian applies not only to Europeans, but also to Arabs and Indians. To Mordor! |

Yes, but...
I have never yet been confronted for asking for a black coffee.

Ah, political correctness... *sends it out the window with a swift kick*
In a world where a joke such as: "Will you get me some eggs?" "Brown or white?" "White." "Ooh, racist, are we?" is actually too close to the truth for comfort... No, the funny thing is when, in a sentence, there are "whites and African Americans." Either say "Caucasion and African American" or "black and white" (or dark brown, or beige, or whatever other colors you like), but when people mix and match terminology to be "Politically Correct"... Disturbing. Have I ever said before that sunburns belong in Mordor? 'Cuz they do.

"Negroid" refers to black people from Sub-saharan Africa. "Mongoloid" refers to the majority of people. Geographically they span from Mid-Asia to East Asia, as well as including Native Americans.

Boredom, quite simply. Like, the total boredom where you somehow can't even motivate yourself to do...anything. Yet doing nothing is quite surely going to drive you insane. So everything becomes a chore, and you'd somehow just rather sit there browsing nothing on the internet without any real interest rather than do something....productive.
...and yes, I am on my holidays. Verily, boredom is an enemy I am getting to know very well ![]() And also, of course, the official font of Mordor: Comic Sans. Can you imagine arriving at Mordor and seeing the huge, fiery sign cheerfully informing you in those infuriatingly bubbly letters 'Welcome to Mordor!'. *Shudders* Like being licked to death by a puppy...or a siamese cat for that matter....

Portugese-men-of-war
These bad boys scare the heck out of me. I didn't know about them till the 10th grade. My teacher tells me about them and how to identify them then that summer and for years after I would see them at the beach. They are wicked jelly fish but their bulbous bodies are blue and they float on top of the water to come and get you!!

Stupid names, like "Jellyfish". You'd expect one to look fish-shaped and be made of Jelly.
And also, "Portugese-Men-of-War." You'd expect them to look like men. Actually, that name could be offensive to the Portugese. And to Men. ![]() ![]() Wait... does this all come under language? *vanishes to Mordor in a puff* |

Actually, the problem is that everyone here in the U.S. now wants to be called a Something-American. If you want to generalize, though, you can't get that - well - specific. If we were to call me a politically correct hyphenated name, I would be a Russian-German-Syrian-Austrian-Polish-Swedish-French-Dutch-American. That doesn't exactly just roll off the tongue. I don't mind being called "white" - call me white, I don't mind. If you want to call me "of European and Middle Eastern descent", go for it. I'm really not that picky.

There's PC-ness...and then there's taking it too far. Call me white, call me black, call me bloody rainbow-coloured (I defy you with my English spelling!) - I really don't mind. When people dance around it and get twitchy when the words black or white are mentioned, insistently referring to people as 'dark skinned'...well, it just seems silly. I do believe there needs to be a line - but at this moment, society seems to be so far past that line that the line...the line is a dot.
TGWBS - calm down, everyone is allowed to make their own point and sure, there are lots of things about language that different people may object to or even, dare I say it, like language. *gasps* It's like saying that if one person decreed that men should be sent to Mordor - does this mean that no one else can mention any specific male or male trait that should be sent? (Purely hypothetical situation, of course...) Quote:

Since Aman could not quite bring herself to do it, I will do it for her: pretentious pronunciations are hereby assigned to Mordor. If an rpg ever takes form, I will have a gas and a half over this one.
