Welcome
to the new online home of Agents Ilarian and Vaniela. They are from the
TORC
(tolkienonline.com) PPCers. What in the world does PPC stand for, you
might ask? Protectors of the Plot Continuum, originally invented by Jay
and Acacia, and it involves saving the world of Lord of the Rings
fan-fiction from the thousands and thousands of horrible Mary-Sues
infesting it.
A Mary-Sue, should you be lucky enough to have never run across one of
these things, is the stereotypical 'perfect' character, either from
21st-century America or the product of some made-up un-canonical
happening (such as being the fourth child of Elrond.) They are all
beautiful, all exceedingly annoying, usually tag along with the
Fellowship, and always fall in love with Legolas or another assorted
canonical (barely) lust object.
Ilarian and Vaniela's mission, and that of all the other PPCers, is to
destroy these
things, and save Aragorn, Legolas, Éomer, Faramir, Boromir, and
whoever else might conceivably be lusted after (Sauron, dear?) from
these things. Power to the PPC. All hail.

P.S. If you see any really, really bad ones, IM them to Ilarian at
PrincessIlarian and she will have a go.
