Where are the aphorisms of Anórien? - Constructive Criticism of LOTR Fanfiction
http://lotrfic-crit.livejournal.com/21288.html
Where are the aphorisms of Anórien? At September 12th, 2007 (08:35 pm). This is based upon an original post in my own journal, but much enriched (and expanded) by the comments I received to it. In order to find a debate on the use of the passive so as to comment on. S fascinating post which draws an extended and subtle analogy between Integrated Pest Management (for gardeners) and editing one's literary works*, I visited. Where, serendipity coming to the fore again, I happened across. I have a horrid sus...

Bookverse Improbabilities - Constructive Criticism of LOTR Fanfiction
http://lotrfic-crit.livejournal.com/20916.html
By gandalfs appren (. At August 29th, 2007 (04:45 pm). Crowdaughter suggested I post these remarks here. So I looked y'all up and now I'm testing the waters! I've said for a long time that it's never wise to look too closely at the plot details in LotR: Tolkien wasn't writing a character-driven plot, he made it up as he went along, and even when he made major changes, he kept a lot of the original. So here's the conundrum that hit me recently:. Bombadil is supposed to know about the Rangers, right? Just ...

Fannish 5 - Constructive Criticism of LOTR Fanfiction
http://lotrfic-crit.livejournal.com/21565.html
By Quiet desperation (. At May 16th, 2008 (04:08 pm). In what five fictional locations would you love to live? First response to this question has to be 'Oh, heck, there are so many.'. 1) Rivendell. Not, as some might prefer, Lórien. I think Lórien, from the description in the books, involves too much climbing about. I can't see Tolkien's elves having a lift but it seems well within the abilities of Rowling's wizards. 3) Roke Island. Again, I see myself as a teacher rather than a student. 1) Rivendell...

The compiler suggested a time limit of thirty minutes, but I'd suggest three hours is more like it - five questions from section one and one from section two. Remember to plan your work before starting and post answers as a comment to this entry. The test - suggest you open in a new window! Links to stories by members.

Interesting article on Salon. By Quiet desperation (. At April 30th, 2007 (03:34 pm). Why can't gay dwarves get married in Middle-earth? I came across this article on Salon.com. Thanks to a link on. S journal and I thought I'd draw it to your attention. To give it some context the sub-head is, "Video games have been ahead of the real world in accepting same-sex marriage.

By Quiet desperation (. At June 6th, 2015 (05:23 pm). I don't know where it's going, but I'm trying to commit fanfic. At last! It may never go anywhere, but at least I'm writing again after a long dry spell. However, I have a question. Elves who've done evil.the only one I can think if who tried to commit a murder was Eöl, in his attempt to kill Maeglin. The Sons of Fëanor swore that stupid oath (it was seriously stupid) but I don't see that as evil, just unwise and misguided. Were there any others?

Orcs and gooseberry bushes? By Quiet desperation (. At July 7th, 2008 (06:03 pm). You know what I've been wondering about lately? The science behind orc creation. The difficulty is that I never took biology; when I was young I was deeply squeamish and having realised that biology involved dissections, I took physics. That out physics master was a looker while the biology master was a complete creep only helped my decision. Now, as far as I recall we know very few things about them:. Archives of Lord of t...
