Let's see... my favorite threads in the QR/QQ to play are:

Palantir of Fortune
20 Questions on ME
The "is it" game
Various trivia games

In the Books, I had great enjoyment posting in the "Nebulous It" thread a while back. I liked following the "Canonicity" thread, though I never actually posted in it. Another thread I found interesting was the "Hope vs. Hopelessness" thread, which was before I registered but was interesting reading nonetheless. And, of course, the Chapter-by-Chapter discussions provide many enlightening thoughts and posts.

In ME Mirth, my favorite thread is probably the "Create Your Own Crazy Scene with Pics". Hilarious. "Trilogy Tuesday: What not to do" and some other thread that I can't seem to find or remember the name of... :rolleyes: ;)

And, in the Barrow-downs section, the "Know Yer Mates" is my current favorite.

Sorry, I'm too lazy to go find all of these threads and link them. :rolleyes:

Sure! If it's your favorite thread, it counts.

Firefoot: Lazy? Hah, I didn't link any of mine, & I made the thread-what does that say about me!? ;) :p

"Are You A Stalker?"

"How Do You Imagine Other BDers?"

"Epitahs" - just a little something I started a long time ago. It was one of those cute, inventional threads which turned out to be a minor success. At least, it fitted with the theme.

"Movie Bloopers" - all several of them. This was one of a few threads that I joined whole-heartedly, and it was where my true talent for silly humour emerged.

"The First Annual Barrowdowns Awards" - Isn't it about time for another round?

I love reading old, finished RPGs and making fun of how my writing was or how silly some of my characters were, then admiring the writing of others (*cough*Aman, Bethberry, mark12_20, Nuru, Imladris, Fordim, Durelin and others *cough*) and their well-developed posts. :D

My favorites include:

Search for the Lost Messenger, because it took several 180-degree turns near the end and is enjoyable to read.

Tapestry of Dreams, even if it's not quite finished yet because all the writers are just so great at what they do, and even if we don't exactly all have the same style it just works somehow.

Dark Seduction, because it was just so...so...it was just plain evil! *shivers*

And Brotherhood of the Last Alliance, because even if the ending was quick and hurried, the character interaction was just so fun! Plus I got to play an especially evil character...

I also like going through to the end of games just to read the dramatic (sometimes not-so-dramatic) death scenes of my characters and of other people's characters. Sometimes it's rather funny to re-read those posts...unless you get attatched.

As far as threads that don't have to do with RPGs...I thoroughly enjoy reading both of the 'Are You Writing Serious Fantasy?' threads. They're very informative, and it's helpful to know that there are others out there with the same problems or issues that I have with writing.

Those are just some of my favorites, because I do enjoy loads of other threads.

I really enjoyed the high: purged of the gross thread. It was interesting to see how people were affected by Tolkien.
