tales

I guess the only thing i got out of it was. "Don't trust strangers". Or alternatively "-Bad fruits can't grow into a flower" I dunno, maybe something like that? But now i am getting philosophical. What do you think? edit: At the end of winter, the mouse suggests Thumbelina marry the mole...

Hello, Boots here. I would just like to talk to some people about these first two volumes of The History of Middle Earth series. I don't necessarily have trouble reading these books aside from occasion vocabulary I don't know. What I would really like to know is what parts of these books that...

For discusion of @Valandil's wonderful fanfic Tales of Nolduryon. I didn't see a discussion thread for it so hopefully it's ok to start one? In the opening post, I love the viewpoint given by Nolduryon (fictional 3rd son of Arnor's King Arantar) as an aged 'Chief Scribe and Loremaster' under...

A Movie (in German language and English subs) with episodes, produced while playing the game "Return to Moria". Actually one episode is ready, more will follow...Have fun. PPT-Professional Plunder Team Prolog: The Collapse: General description: Sauron has been defeated, the Balrog has been...

This teaser was dropped on Friday: This guy is trying to find out what this game is about:

Paragraph from the recent hardcover book 'The Nature of Middle Earth' - Edited by Carl F. Hostetter (Page 195) Deals with what happens to the Hobbits (as race) in the 3rd age - once Aragorn has died and the long years afterwoods... I was quite shocked by this revelation, and the millions of...

Today is December 25, Christmas Day for many of us. (The Orthodox Eastern Christians celebrate January 6, Epiphany in the Western Christian, Roman Catholic calendar: hence Twelve Days of Christmas.) This is the day when the Company of the Ring set out on its Quest from Rivendell. The Quest...

In a sense a child does not long for fairy land as a boy longs to be the hero of the first eleven. Does anyone suppose that he really and prosaically longs for all the dangers and discomforts of a fairy tale?—really wants dragons in contemporary England? It is not so. It would be much truer to...

Christopher Tolkien took most of the material for the published sillmarilion from Tolkiens early versions pre 1937 in the lost tales correct? So would the lost tales contain information about how much of the published sillmarillion came to be in its final form?

The attacks on Gondolin had grown increasingly intense. Aiden (the elf) his human wife Kora and their son Atreyu made their way to the escape tunnels made by Idril the daughter of King Turgon. "Come my wife! My son! We must leave this place or else perish with it!" Called the tall red haired...

As we review the tale of the rings... we learn about the "great rings" the one, the three, the seven, and the nine. But clearly Gandalf intimates that there are many more magic rings than just those! "There are many magic rings in the world Frodo, but none of them are to be taken lightly"...

Which is your favorite of the tales?

First of all, the pictures. I draw when I have a few spare hours and nothing better to do. Yes, most are of Legolas. (I'm a 14-year-old girl. What did you expect?) I have not the heart to tell you... Legolas Squinting Legolas at Coronation The lone Aragorn picture.. ...he must be...

You should dodge, man! He'll eat you! Ah, anyways, dragon type stories. Morgoth has just been defeated, his dungeons are being cleared out, and a bunch of not-yet-cleared-for-war dragons are scrambling for a way out. I figure that we'd have to use mostly undeveloped dragons, since there...

I've been part of an online writing group recently and someone set us the task of taking a minor character from Lord of the Rings and trying to put together a 1000 word story that work by itself but would stay in keeping with the main story. I hope you enjoy it and any comments welcome :)...

I just noticed this on Amazon. I haven't seen any other posts on here about it. Having not read any of the other stories, this just made my Christmas list. :D

The following quote is from a rejected part of Turambar's Tale in Christopher's comments: But Linwe hearing that curse cause the gold to be cast into a deep pool of the river before his doors, and not for very long did any see it again save for the Ring of Doom [emended to: The Necklace of the...

I am thinking about attempting to get published again. I have written two novels in the last two years which I think are of decent quality, both on similar veins, young adult fiction and lengthy fairy tales. The first is "The Tale of Sir Percival the Overly Ordinary Knight" and the second its...

Hi there. I typed this little dialogue up mainly for my own enjoyment and now I'm wondering if we can't make a nice little story/adventure out of it. Who: There are two main characters so far, Freddy Whitfield and Dandy Hoof. I think I'll call dibs on Dandy, so Freddy is still up for grabs, as...

"Argh! Mind yer step!" "What? Who?" "Down here, ya nong." Freddy Whitfield had not noticed old Dandy Hoof lying face-down in his garden, wearing almost the same shade of green as the crops and grass around him, and had accidentally stepped on Dandy's hand. "Oh, I'm terribly sorry...
