What's your TTF Story?

[Beytran70]

I joined a couple years ago because I had a surge in interest in regards to the potential sequel to Lord of the Rings and what little had been written about it. Around the time (and still) I was playing Lord of the Rings Online which features many "inspired" (read: made up) new plotlines with enemies and creatures of all sorts taken from the shadows cast by Tolkien's works. After that I more or less just pop in here to read things since I find myself lacking the credentials to discuss most of the finer points of Lord of the Rings and the extended mythos. Not to mention that I have a short attention span and can only rarely drum up lengthy or thoughtful posts, preferring to keep my posts the way I like my women: short and preferably dwarven.

That doesn't stop me, so don't let it stop you! 😄

You don't like elven women then? I also count among the Ainur, notably as the Ninth Arata, and I would be a fine choice!

Hah. I studied Tolkien for a semester in college, so I guess I have that going for me. I guess my background is more the extended multimedia of Tolkien in regards to all the movies and games that were made which I rarely see brought up, so if I ever see anything regarding those then I can jump in!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

We have forums for both subjects, so feel free! 🙂

Only if their beauty and their hair surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine.

The light of Aman and the Two Trees of Valinor remain within me, notably Telperion. I know of some who have said my radiance shines akin to or even brighter than the Silmarils themselves...

Does that suffice for you?

Hmmmmmmm.

Maybe we can share an ale.

I suppose you are of the Dwarven race? As one of the Valar I often remain in the Blessed Realm of Valinor, and I don't normally appear in a fair form to many in Middle-Earth, but this time it's an exception.

 

[Beytran70]

Maybe we can add on to my story I somehow got caught up with a half-elven goddess of some sort. The friendship of Legolas and Gimli will pale in comparison!

 

[Lómelindë Lindórië]

It shall, and it indeed will!

Also, one of the Silmarils remains in my hand - perhaps that would strengthen our bond even further, for our journeys shall be more perilous; for I count also amongst the Teleri, and the Feanorians will not leave me so easily.

Perhaps. Just as the dwarves of old were to forge the Nauglamir to hold the Silmarils, so too do their hearts hold great light and love!

Indeed, but the Silmaril shall remain within me. Although if the Feanorians attacked me to get their Silmaril back, what would we do?

(NB: Should we PM? The thread is getting a bit off topic now xD )

Or you can invite Beytran70 to join your RP. It looks to me like he's halfway there already! 😄

I first read the hobbit and unfinished tales when I was somewhere in first grade by my reckoning. I found this site some years ago as I searched for a place to share my love of Tolkien. This by far the best of the bunch! The only forum for the brave and truuuue!

I am probably one of the youngest in the forum being still in middle school so I have only joined this year but I love lotr and have read all the books a gazillion times and read other ones such as the Hobbit, beren and luthien, unfinished tales, children of hurin, the fall of gondolin, akallabeth and the silmerillion. I was doing research for a project and came across this brilliant forum and signed up straight away and haven't looked back.

 

[Humbelle]

I mainly joined to ask a question (see post about Gollum having DID). I enjoyed a lot of the personalities and decided to stay. I am not a frequent poster, but do enjoy myself when I am here. If it had a chat room, I would be here more often...

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

We do have Private Messaging ("Conversation"). And you can invite as many members as you like. 🙂

Yes! PMs are awesome! I have quite a few going currently...

There is the 'Shoutbox' thingy here which is essentially a live chat. It reminds me of the old 'c-box' chat the Arwen Undomiel site had.

It always warms my heart to see people my grandchildren's generation getting into Tolkien's books!
