Wow I really wasn't being very honest here.

Anyone who's put up with me in RPing here on the Downs knows I'm not the most faithful to canon... I not only played an evil Elf a long time ago (but I will proudly say that my first character was not a typical Mary Sue but rather a very stereotypical Hobbit...but I still think in a rather nice way), but I have played with canon characters. I am the ultimate hypocrite who complains about people who always want to write canon characters...but then have done it a couple times. On another site, a long time ago, a friend and I started an RPG in which I played Denethor. That was really fun...I think he's a very interesting character.

Emo elves!

Being more heavily influenced by other fantasy writers...

And...I've only read The Lord of the Rings once through...only read bits of the Sil. (Don't ask me how many times I watched the movies when they came out.) Oh and I BSed a paper in high school that suggested allegory in a piece of the Sil.

Lommy -- My one(?) moment of thinking canonicity sounds excellent, bearded dwarf women! I do appreciate dwarves so much more now...thank you for that.
