I'm still chuckling over "Boy eats star, goes far." Saucie, my hat's off to you.

and back again.....

Yes, that's a great one, but it does sound sort of like my

Oh, well...

Wow, most everything has been done already. How about one for the Narn I Hin Hurin, Tale of Turambar, etc.

And it's alliterative, too! A Ruritanian point is mine! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

LoTR
Ring out the old, ring in the new!

The Hobbit (Bilbo's perspective):
LotR (Sam's point of view):
The Hobbit (Eagles' perspective):
Fea

Gimli's fearful trip through the Paths of the Dead:

Doughty dwarf dares dreadful dash down Deadmen's den.

Gimli's perspective of LotR;

Legolas's perspective of LotR:

Entire Legendarium:

Make baubles, baubles lost/stolen, regain baubles, lose bodyparts/baubles.

Fëanor's biography:

Oooh sparklies!, make sparklies, sparklies stolen!, crap, died!

The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Silmarillion in 10 words...

Whyever did we let this thread fizzle out?

Lord of the Rings, Frodo's perspective:
All the Works:

The hobbit:

Hobbit goes on adventure steals from Dragon becomes extremely rich

Turin Turambar;

Man is cursed. For fills curse. Kills dragon. Kills self.

Well, it would have saved everyone a lot of trouble...

Maglor's life: Silmarils stolen, got one back, threw it away and mourned

Maedhros' life: chained to cliff, hand chopped off, offed self

It always hurts when this thread gets lost...

If I don't aquire the winning bunch of points for this, I should. ;) Summarizing everything:

The H's have it.
 

LoTR:

Hm, not the best; but a for a first attempt, not bad.

A typical day for any member of this species.
 

Dour Dwarves delve deep, dabble in dastardly danger and die.

Lord of the Rings as told by Pippin: Cheers!
Lyta

This could explicate just about any crisis relating to LotR, The Hobbit, or The Sil.:

"Alas! Woe! ...Hey, look, Eagles!"

Or from the Scouring of the Shire:

Ruffians with rumpled raiment ran 'round wrecking.

I love alliteration!
 

Akallabêth:

RotK:

Drink Beer, Impossible Odds, Defeat Evil, Get Crowned, Live Happily...

There, RotK in ten words...

Akallabêth- Lords longing for life lead to lost land.

My summaries of the five books of the Silmarillion:

The Ainulindale: Melkor's musical mayhem makes middle-earth its mishaps.


Then God said "Let there be music" and there was music. (Sorry, I realise it's a word too long...)

The Valaquenta: Good things comes in sevens.


The Quenta Silmarillion: Oooh! Shiny! Yuck, blood- love! Oooh! Shiny!

The Akallabêth: What goes up must come down.

The Rings of Power and the Third Age: See also, The Lord of the Rings.

Formendacil, what about;

"God said "Let there be music" and there was music." ?

Ok here’s my take on 'The Hobbit'

"Dwarves want Gold. Dragon has gold. Dwarves go after Dragon."

OR

"Down Dwarves Drive to defeat Dragon."

Here’s "The Lord of the Rings"

"Ruling ring rocks rural residents"

Wow, that sounds like a Newspaper headline.

This one only works for the films-
LOTR (from Frodo's POV)
"Stronger, taller, wiser guy tells me not to do something, I do it."
and
"Stupidly happy, terror, stupidly happy, terror."
or
"Enter monster. Monster tries to eat me. Someone else kills monster. Enter monster. Monster tries to eat me..."

From Legolas' POV

"See monster. Kill it. Look good. See monster. Kill it. Look good."

I'm so glad this thread resurfaced...

On that Legolas note my dear Maeggaladiel,

"A Deadly Quest? No, it's advertising!"
*Holds up bow in powerful elven pose*

Eru's sum-up

"I knew I shouldn't have invented Tri-tones! Evil intervals!"

In the style of a play (or advert) - 10 words per actor
 

Fancy fantasy featuring favorable fraternity fearlessly fighting fierce foreign foes.

Just jolly, jumbled, junior jingoism?

Crivvens! Contrary, cohort: cruel claptrap cut, convivial content contained.

Enjoy each element, encourage everyone!

The Hobbit in 10 words or less:

Hobbit travels, discovers ring, lives without handkerchief, makes enemies, returns.

Smith of Wooton Major: I cook better than I cook

TH: All because of a dragon.

Farmer Giles of Ham: All becuse of a different dragon.

COH: All because of a Dark Lord... and a dragon.

LOTR: Dark Lords, fell beasts, Nazgul, spiders... and no dragons.

LOTR from Treebeard's perspective: Hasty humans and wizards creating chaos.

Something for all the works (with a bit of plagiarism :Merisu:):
