LotR: The Anti-Drug - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lord of the Rings has done me quite a lot of good. Because I liked it so much I began to write fanfiction. I found my spelling, punctuation and vocabulary improving, and I moved my creative writing grade up from a B to an A*!
If I wasn't into LotR I'm not sure what I'd be doing. I wouldn't have anything to write fanfiction about, I'd have nothing to obsess about with online friends, I'd have nothing to watch/read on a dull day. And it's introduced me to some cool people on the BD's and on fanfiction.net.
Although I annoy my friends sometimes (I once talked about LotR for 1 hour and 9 minutes) and my mother despairs when I que for 1 and a half hours to meet Billy Boyd I wouldn't give up my obsession.
Niluial, that's nad about your niece. Sadly, stuff like that can happen. I'll be careful and keep my other interests and friends as well, and not get OBSESSED in a bad way.
