What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I also assign Lmp to the Shire, just because Lmp is...Lmp. And it's his birthday, so where better to have a celebration than under the Party Tree?

The first blooms on the forsythia bushes surely belong in the Shire.

I think I'll third that assignation of lmp. Anyone who doesn't mind the nickname 'lumpy' has got to be a cool guy

Kath, I think you're fourthing it.

Kath · 03-27-2006, 03:58 PM

So I am Jenny! Well, I support the motion at any rate

Gee, friends, I'm ... well .... happy.

Thanks!

I assign all you hobbits to the Shire. You all belong there.

Even if bunches of you spend lots of time in a certain Rohirrim Mead Hall....

I'm assigning the British Museum to the Shire because it's just one big, mad Mathom house. I've been there many times but I find something new on every visit. This time it was Dr John Dee's magical objects, including the 'Tablet of God' and his Obsidian mirror, used in magical rituals and jiggery pokery to do with alchemy. That counts as very cool indeed to me.

I'm also assigning Pre-Raphaelite art. The colours look bright in prints, but the actual paintings are incredible, particularly the blues, which are intense and moving. And they bring out the effusive art critic language in you.

I assign finished manuscripts. Knowing that you've got something in your possession that you're willing to send to the other side of the continent for critique is a pretty cool feeling, even if they don't end up wanting it. Knowing that the piece that's been floating around your head tormenting you but refusing to come together suddenly wrote itself with barely any help from you. *sigh* Big relief. Now to get it post-marked before the 1st.
