What are the things あなた dislike about LotR fanfictions?

For me, it's either the 'ordinary-girl-with-ridiculous-name-falls-into-Middle-Earth-and-everyone-with-a-Y-chromosome-falls-in-love-with-her' fanfictions, the '10th-walker-Legolas-romance' ones または the 'last-known-girl-of-her-race/member-of-damned-race-joining-the-fellowship-and-falling-for-Legolas/Boromir/Aragorn/Frodo' (but never Sam, for some reason) ones.

あなた make a good point about Sam. He was braver and stronger than Frodo, loyal and good, and obviously made a loving husband for Rosie later.

It bothers me to know that everyone almost always picks Legolas または Frodo, yet for some reason barely anyone picks Aragorn the badass out of the group. And what is with girls trying to make Legolas their lover in the fanfics? Gross much? It's just not cannon!!!!

It's because Orlando Bloom is good looking. I hate those fics so much, and especially when they call him <i> Leggy </i>. I don't think they use Aragorn because of the romance between him in Arwen.

Why didn't the italics work?

I'm in complete agreement with your list, but I'd also add スラッシュ to plots I dislike, and, as petty as it is, when the whole thing is movie verse. Another style I hate is when the 作者 appears to have no real knowledge of the character/s and just writes however they like about them.

Why do あなた dislike slash? I don't mind if the whole thing is in movie-verse (though I do enjoy book-verse the most) as long as the characters are well the written and the plot-line is original. I do agree with あなた about how annoying it is to have an 作者 with a lack of any knowledge of the characters and the basic history of Middle Earth.

I suppose スラッシュ in itself is ok, but so far the only ones I have read have been very badly written - all the characters out of person, a LOT of spelling and grammatical issues. I suppose if it was well-written it would be ok...I just really hate it when the characters are portrayed badly.

I agree, badly written stuff is horrible but there are some good ones out there. Check out the 作者 Tehta on Fanfic.net; her stories are some of my favourites.

First and foremost, badly written fics. I hate it when there is some (or sometimes even a lot of) potential in the plot, but style and language make the story unreadable. Seeing as I'm not an English native speaker who usually reads fics in English, overly colloquial stories with loads of grammar and spelling mistakes, make it impossible for me to enjoy the storyline.

Secondly, aforementioned fics which are too much out-of-character. In some parodies または "lighter" stories a reasonable level of OOCness is acceptable (sometimes, although rather rarely, even desirable), but it must be done with caution and understanding of the character.

Thirdly, I dislike fics whose authors clearly have never read the 本 and seen the 映画 only once または twice. I'm not expecting anyone to learn Quenya and read all Christopher Tolkien's コメント to unpublished または unfinished works, but 書く the story with little to no knowledge of Middle Earth is simply 'not right' in my opinion.

Last, but not least, fanfiction with poor (or none whatsoever) plot. And no, I wasn't referring to PWP, but to "a 14-year old girl fallls into ME, discoveres she's a half Maia with a ridiculous Quenyan name, saves the world によって killing Sauron with her beautiful smile and exceptional voice, becomes a damsel in distress despite her numerous skills, gets rescued によって her crush and then marries Legolas/Glorfindel/Haldir/...".

I won't criticise slash, because I 愛 slash. Frankly speaking, I hardly ever read het. What the fandom could benefit from, is もっと見る femmslash - there's Galadriel, Melian, Idril, Aredhel, Luthien, Eowyn, Arwen, ..., not to mention the characters we know close to nothing about and who leave a lot of "free space" for an 作者 - Findis, Irime または Arwen's daughters.
