Jubjub birds and wights--

Once upon a tulgy thread there was a frumious discussion about how the slithy downs had changed over the frabjous unfolding years. Can anyone remember the title/ whereabouts/ instigator/ wabe/ SOMETHING FINDABLE of that vorpal thread? I have searched and searched.

I though it was Child, but that was the before&afterTheMovies thread.

Hey, Mithalwen! I was hoping that you'd sign up. If you meet the requirements-- Eighteen years of Tolkien in your life-- then you are in, lady!

Incidentally, there are many who share your admiration for Faramir ( 30 years ago, I would have had to fight it out with my bestTolkien-buddy who had claimed him already, so I settled on Eomer at the time). I am now, however, a Frodo-addict, as are others on this thread. But we try not to swoon, except over Balrogs.

What's your favorite personal Middle-Earth / Tolkien-story?

I like book Frodo and radio frodo but not film frodo........

Well of course I like Faramir and Eowyn..... I like Eomer too, and I wish there was more about the house of Dol Amroth and Elrond and Celebrian......

I like the passion and psychology of Aldarion and Erendis and The Narn i hin Hurin is incredibly powerful.........

Other than that I am the standard elf-fancier .....

"Standard elf-fancier"! Most amusing!

But by "favorite personal Middle-Earth / Tolkien-story" I mean what thing has ever happened to you that was Middle-Earth related? It can be funny, sad, profound, whatever.

For instance-- in my teens, I sewed a calf-length green cloak out of cotton (since discarded, unfortunately) and I wore it to school. No-- I mean, I wore it EVERYWHERE every day in school-- to all of my classes. i was the laughingstock of the school. But I was elvish, by golly.

Sorry ..... that gauntlet blow must have dazed me..... no stories as such .. I only wore my cloak in private..... and did try to read LOTR sitting in the only tree in the garden - and elderly apple singularly unlike a Mallorn.....
