Ms. Maril,

Thank you for such an enlightening topic! Those old dish rags of a hobbit, especially Lousewart Chastitybelt and her cronies, have their noses so far up, they haven't noticed how they...

I would have to say good old Sting. I would really appreciate my sword glowing when big ugly orcs were sneaking up behind me. Plus, none of the hobbits who used the sword died prematurely, and they...

Most of my stories are more of a 'coming of age' type of story. But the ages of my characters vary a lot. In my novel, the main characters, Adar and Acacia, are aprox. 18 years old. The leading male,...

Very nice post, Nurumaiel. I agree that all women (all characters, in fact) should be warriors in that sense. Actually, a lot of fantasy, excluding LOTR, do not have that many battle scenes. The...

I agree with Boromir88. In a way, I believe that Frodo didn't know what he actually wanted when he left Bag End. It may just have been the ring that was restless, but I think it was deeper than that....

Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks is actually not that bad of a book, if you don't mind that most of the plot is a rip-off of LOTR. (Just my oppinion.) I believe I read somewhere on a forum, that he...

In most of my short stories (and come to think of it, my novel) all of my warrior characters aren't warriors to begin with. Sure, I have had the occasional sociopathic assassin (which was a LOT of...

Did it appear in the movie?
Is it the stone wheels of the cart that moved Frodo's stuff to Crickhollow?

I am so guessing...this is hard! Great job!

Aragorn's "For Frodo." Oh. my. gosh. That was amazingly powerful.

I feel that Sam and I are like parallels of each other, more and more lately. If I was sucked into LOTR, I would be Sam.
I like Legolas from the book because he's a great aim, and seems so wise....

This is corny, but I'd have been Sam and would have went with Frodo and Gandalf, forget what they said. In the mean time, I would have gardened to my heart's content.
