Fan project: Lalaith's deeds - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Urwen · 03-04-2011, 05:37 AM

Because I have a bond with Children of Hurin. And Lalaith is the best way to channel that bond. Besides, I feel sorry that she died so young. I had to blame someone. And Maedhros was a natural choice, for he just HAPPENED to be Morgoth's rreason for unleashing the plague.

Are these reasons good enough for you all?

Project is nearly finished.

Meanwhille, reunion:

Quote:

And of course, Fatty Lumpkin and Old Man Willow were Turin and Nienor reborn. Old man Willow still has Turin's anger within, while Fatty still has Nienor's forgetfulness within.

With Lalaith as Golberry and Sador as Tom, the quartet is back again! Long live Hin Hurin and Sador!

So am I to understand that you didn't want help/commentary on your project? You were just announcing it? In that case, shouldn't it have gone in a more appropriate section of the Downs (if the announcement, rather than the project itself, needed to be posted at all)? In any case, I hope your project is going well and that, when you do finish it, you post it in the correct section (though I imagine that said project will be rather hilarious).

And as usual, no, that's not a good enough reason, Urwen. You can't blame people for deaths that were brought about by natural causes. If your logic holds, I could blame Nog for the premature death of my older sister, or you, Urwen, for the passing of my aunt from old age (which, if these discussions continue, I'm afraid will become a common cause of death among Downers). I completely understand, and on some level respect, your love and devotion for such a minor character, but villifying and character bashing of another individual just because your Lallie Sue didn't get a happily ever after is not the way to bring people over to love your character and, in fact, is not the way we behave here. Again, I admire your perseverance, but you could probably think of more intelligent, reasonable ways to show your appreciation for Lalaith than by attacking other characters in the books.

And there are my thoughts on the subject. Gee. I hope I wasn't too rash.
