I had silver eyes and charcoal hair. Legolas had sparkling grey eyes.
I have no imagination.
But a lovely singing voice.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Up with the sun
Vivienna Morning Glory clutched at the windowsill until her knuckles turned white, and she wept bitter tears. How could this be happening? All her life, she had been happy and carefree, and now this trouble... What had she done to deserve such a fate? Slowly, and with the blur of tears still in her vivid neon pink eyes, she paced about her bedroom. All she could think of now was Legolas, and how the news would break his heart.
I can't remember place names (sue me, I don't much like LotR) so mine is all "Hobbit Place" and "Arwyn place" and "Walking-tree-battle place."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
so mine is all "Hobbit Place" and "Arwyn place" and "Walking-tree-battle place."
I can't either, so I just made up names that sounded right. You know - Fishstickslorien. Mothrador. Wrigley Field.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think I could get behind the nation of Mothrador. I mean, who doesn't want giant angry moths as your allies? They are like Eagles, except with woolly antennae.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I have a Middle Earth poster on my office door. Place names, no problem. Some call it cheating; I prefer "wisely decorated."

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Elanor Ravenstar blushed coyly. She could feel his eyes wandering over her body, from head to foot, as he took in the sight of her laying on the grass. In truth, she was beautiful. Unusually so, some said. Her father came from the line of elves of Mordor, while her mother was born into a lordly house of dwarves in Helm's Deep. The blending of the two races came together perfectly in Elanor Ravenstar, giving her an exotic look that few males found they could resist. Large almond-shaped bright crimson eyes were framed perfectly by shimmering waves of thick blue hair that fell to her waist. A sapphire-encrusted mithril pendant hung ever from her slender white neck, accentuating the delicate frame of her collarbone.
At least my hair and eyes are my school colors!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Fishstickslorien. Heh.
I think I'd prefer Slothlorien, with all the stoner elves lounging around unable to be arsed about saving the world. And Sauron would have to live in Fourdoor, possibly in a salloon...
...and I thnk that somebody had better stop me now. Yes. Right. Stepping away from the painfully bad jokes ve-ry slowly....

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I'd be more impressed with the argument if the argumenter didn't start out by citing her genius level IQ, et cetera, or take so many words to structure her argument against a statement that is easily discernable as outright stupid.
You do realize she was essentially parodying the style of the original kerfuffle-maker, only doing it with an actual brain, right?

I had no way of knowing that, FWIW. I thought Jenny was just taking her whole grad student-ness a bit too seriously.
Which made me wonder WTF was up with her, but didn't trigger my "Ah, she's joking" meter.
