Confess your crimes here...

You caught me. Frodo led an army of 300,000 hobbits into Rhun and slaughtered all the Easterlings.

I mispronounce just about all the names and words that Tolkien created. I even pronounce Tolkien incorrectly. I imagine Elrond has a beard. And I don't care. *

Not always anyway...

I often wonder about the Green Dragon in our own RPGs. It has all kinds of creatures wandering in and out, but didn't Aragorn say that The Shire would be reserved for Hobbits only in the Fourth Age? Still, it would be dull if it was just for Hobbits.





*this is just to make it even more naughty...

Possibly that ruling has yet to be pronounced...

Although I do wonder about the "Lewis"es and "Cordelia"s that I've seen floating around on it... doesn't strike me as very Middle-Earthian.

Mind you, as a card-carrying member of AtM2, I'm not exactly an innocent... though I'd like to think that playing a rather canonical, if stuffy, member of the Gondorian side of the fence ought to count for something.

However, I must confess that about eight years ago, at a rather young age indeed, I was known to playact at being a descendent (and King of Gondor) of Aragorn, who just HAPPENED to be an excellent warrior and tracker, and who, as it happened, went about escorting roughly four hobbits, an elf, a dwarf, a man (my brother, ala Boromir), and a couple of Blue Wizards on a quest into the East to destroy the Ring- one of the Seven, somehow not destroyed in Barad-dûr's fall, and somehow still potent...

My imagination was rather under-used...

I am guilty on many levels. In RPGs I am responsible for Vogonwë the Horrible Poet, the half-elven son of Geppetuil the Elven-partyking (the third cousin of Thranduil, thrice removed), and a human woman of Chippendale. Then there's his fiancée (recently wed) the half-halfing Pimpiowyn Took, a cross between a hobbit lass and a Valiant Man of the Mike (Pipsissewa Took and Éohorse son of Needahorse). As if that weren't enough, I have recently given life to the abomination that is Skittles MacFarlewyn.

And ya know what? I am unrepentant. Destroying canon is my purpose in life.

I often play make believe in my under-used imagination that I am some kind of half-Hobbit, half-Wizard female Nu-Saruman/Gandalf character and imagine myself potentially very powerful while still giving myself the option of eating second breakfast and smoking pipeweed. These delusional flights of fancy usually occur during boring meetings when my mind will begin wandering within the first four minutes or so and does not usually get back on track until the tea and luxury biscuits are produced. It's either that or fancy myself as the first female Time Lord.

I once thought about getting a personal number plate for the car based on a Tolkien theme and saw one which had ENT in it. Then I saw the irony in this.

As I see my crew confessing their crimes, I realize that I have yet another to my name:

Contributing to the delinquency of writers.

[Lhunardawen]

No, no, I'm not confessing. There's nothing wrong with creating a name in caricature Sindarin inspired by a rather popular name from the Bible...
