If you could live in Middle Earth, what would you do, or most want to get up to ?

[Rinfanawen]

Although being an Elf would be an interesting creature to be, I believe I would settle in with the Hobbits in the Shire. I'd be probably around Tuckborough, I believe. I always did love the countryside and the old peasant-like setting. Of course, I chose Tuckborough because, like a Took, I also like to venture out into the woods and do a little travelling, which is considered odd in other parts of the Shire.

i dunno. im kinda confused. i would be a Hobbit because of their peaceful and quiet existence or an Elf because of their ethereal beauty. but then again, they have suffered great sorrow during their life spans and Hobbits are simple fun loving creatures.

there is somethig attractive about living in sorrow and grief of the past. if i chose to be an Elf, i would be Galadriel. dont ask why. i dont even know. May be i would be Rosie Cotton. . i dunno. well see.

Actually, I'd love to create a "Middle Earth" somewhere and have a retreat with a bunch of people have it open to whoever wants to join. I have tentative plans made if I can ever come up with the funds. You know, total costumes, all in character 24-hours a day for a few days. Would be a blast.

Now would you force people to speak Westron, Sindarin, Quenya, Khuzdul, etc? Because that would be one of the most amusing things I've ever seen. And would there be a death penalty for anyone who came in speaking Grelvish? Is that site even still around?

I am torn between being an Elf handmaiden or a Human handmaiden. I mean there is the mortal impulse to try to live forever, and the immortal lust for final peace rather than being tied to the fate of the world. Either way, I would like to be a handmaiden - to Arwen, Melian, Eowyn, Emeldir, or one of those - that lives a quiet life, marries a good man, and has children. Though excitement sounds, well, exciting, if I were off vanquishing the world in the form of some powerful man, I would probably desire a quiet place to sleep. As a handmaiden, I would not have to deal with the court politics as much, and though I would be a servant, being a handmaiden to one of those women would not be horrible. I mean, if I were with Emeldir, I would even get to fight (is anyone else reminded of Ávila in Emeldir's tale?).

I would like to be of the Northern Dunedain and live in Rivendell.

I'd like to be a librarian in Rivendel....Then I'd find time to practice music, paint, and explore the rivers and forest outside of digging into some great books.

[Gil-Galad]

welcome to the downs Earthbound! be sure to enjoy your visit here!

Thanks, Gil-Galad. I'm "Enlarging my world" by finding some other boards to post on, thus I've ploped here

Is there an introduction thread, or have I already found it, lol.

Oh, it snowed last night, it is sooooo beautiful here, I went for a walk last night down to the river to watch the snow fall. Lovely Lovely Lovely. (Then I had to drive to work this morning on ice! ) This is my favorite bit of winter, holidays are in Full-Swing and the snows are still pleasant without having become an over-stayed-guest.

[Isowen]

I'd probably just explore a lot, visit elves, meet Gandalf! I would have a party, that of Bilbo's 111 birthday party! I might just "borrow" the one ring and sneak around a bit, just to see if anything interesting goes on in Middle- Earth! I'd love to see Gollum and I might just venture off the path in mirkwood........

[Lachwen]

Yup, now I have it all planned out. I would be a Noldo of the following of Turgon (because, just by the description of the Seven Gates in the Unfinished Tales, you know Gondolin is the place to be!), a jewelsmith making ever more works of art to enhance the glory of the fairest city east of the Sea. I'd escape the Fall with Tuor and Idril (because, seriously, who wants to die as a result of Maeglin being a stupid-head?), then head off to live in the Havens with Círdan and his folk. I'd go with Elrond to help found Imladris, and I'd stay there until the end of the Third Age, when I'd finally return to the West. I'd marry another Noldo (because you can never have too much creativity in one family), and we'd live in peace in the woods of Oromë until the Breaking of the World.

Yeah, that sounds good.

[Amrod the Hunter]

I would like to be a hobbit and hang out with Merry and Pippin or be a Noldor and live in Gondolin,wich sounds just beautiful.

[gorthaur_cruel]

I wouldn't mind being Tom Bombadil...imagine being able to drive away enemies by simply singing!

[Morgul Queen]

I would be...wait...I am a PPC Agent who would be called in by my Boss to eliminate any and all who would insert themselves into the Silmarillion and would probably end up helping the LotR Department with the rest of you.

Sucks, huh?

[Bungo Baggins]

I would definitely be a hobbit, having fun and just enjoying life. But like Bilbo and Frodo, I would like to have an adventure from time to time.

[Assasin]

I would like to go pay a couple of orc armies a visit, and kick some butt! Then perhaps I'd go to the Green Dragon and dance on tables with Meriadoc and Perrigrin.

[Novberaid]

As an elf I have eternity to visit and see all..no hurry, just have fun.
