Rating: For now, a rather weak PG-13, seeing as this is only the prologue bit. Warnings: None- Except that this is my attempt at being witty... Be afraid... and it's AU (obviously) and a parody. So there WERE warnings after all! Fancy that! Summary: It's a prologue (for the third time)! It's almost a summary in and of itself! Author's Notes: Read on, if you dare. Disclaimer: I don't own a hobbit, not even one elf- And all of the dwarves Belong to Tolkien himself. Please do not sue! Please have some class! And if you don't like my disclaimer, You can kiss my furry, hobbit-loving bum! Feedback: I'll only write more if I get encouraged to continue with this massive brainfart... or if I upset enough people... In which case I will be amused enough to continue anyway! So, send the flames or the praise this way; I'll take both. **** Prologue: Concerning Slash This story is largely concerned with hot, steamy, slashy sex, and from its pages a reader may discover much that they did not know, nor ever wanted to know, about this touchy subject. Further *information* will also be found in the selection from various LOTR-slash-devoted sites and mail- lists on the web which have already dealt quite a few ways with the suggestive matter in Prof. T's lovely books. Many, however, may wish to know more about this remarkable twisting of seemingly innocent feelings and words, while some may not rightly know what slash is, or from whence it came. For such readers, a few notes on the more important points are here collected from Slash-lore, which dealt mainly with a beloved and crazily raunchy half-grown people known to most of us here in the Tolkien Universe as Hobbits. Hobbits have always seemed like a rather boring folk, more numerous formerly than they are today. This requires some explaining. A large number of hobbits (a continually growing number of them, I must say) have come to realize that their preference lies with Hobbits of the same gender. That is to say, more than 50% of the hobbit population is indeed made up of homosexuals, and thus, the number of wee babes born annually is decreasing steadily with each passing year. There is, of course, the option of artificial insemination for the female couples if they want it, but hobbits have never really been into anything as unusual as that, and the hobbit lads are rather shy about donating to Ye Old Spermbank, as it were. Despite the fact that more than half of the hobbits who currently, or have ever existed, are indeed homosexual in orientation, that very thing was still rather frowned upon by the remaining 'Normies' (as they were called) until the events which will undoubtedly take place in the tale that you are about to (hopefully) read. The hobbit culture was indeed quite backward, to the point where even lesbian couples raising children would encourage their young ones to be, or at least seem to be, hetero at all costs. Those Normies of the East Farthing were brutes, and in spite of their dwindling numbers, they still seemed to be set on keeping openly homosexual behaviour to minimum, right into the Third Age. Thus, the more numerous homosexual hobbits were and had always been raised in fear, and kept themselves locked quite tightly in their little figurative closets. This really was of no concern to the rest of the inhabitants of Middle Earth, who were at that time concerned rather with global warming, and the increasingly thick blanket of smog which was settling over Greenwood (This particular forest was, at the time, nicknamed 'Mirkwood'). But, I am getting ahead of myself. The story recounted here is a deviously slashy rendering of the late Prof. J.R.R. Tolkien's remarkable tale; giving you, the reader, a glimpse of how it might have been told had Tolkien been a slash-favouring writer. The following tale, however, in all of its slashy and magnificent glory, has little to do with J.R.R.'s original tale, save that the hobbits meet the same people and go to many of the same places. I own none of these charming characters, nor any of the places, as stated in the disclaimer. I merely wish to entertain my corrupt fantasies of 'passionate hobbit love'* and naughty 'Nazgul nine-ways'*. The story goes ever on and on. It's your choice whether you want to read it or no. ***** *-These sayings are not original to me... I'm not THAT witty! COMING SOON (if I get enough feedback): Chapter One: The Long-Expected Orgy
