I love it, too! I think that the parody author must have read a lot of these fics in order to write such a spot-on parody. Which means that s/he must have read a lot of these fics, too!
I haven't read hers yet because it's still a WIP. But I've read other parodies and since I like to look on my fandom with a twinkle in my eye, I enjoy those tremendously!
I'll have to check it out. I adore Aragorn-Legolas friendship fics... but I agree, the cliches! They don't bother me, except for the sometimes very modern language authors have them saying. I just can't see Legolas yelling, "Hey!" or Aragorn saying, "Yeah."
Best parody fic I've ever read. She's been one of my favorite authors since her first story and if you read the dramatic ones, you'll find this little foray into parody even more amazing. She's an incredible writer. And oh, sorry to say, that I too am guilty of the 'Mother? What mother?' syndrome. But to echo Michelle, I still love a well written LOTR fanfic, and am more than willing to overlook the 'occasional' cliche.

I'm still on the Mellon Chronicles mailing list and still read a lot of these. I have become a little more picky, however.
Oh, the modern slang! I'd add "Okay," and "all right" to those. I can usually ignore it if the fic is good otherwise, but it is an irritant.
