A retrospective: LOTR
My birthday is coming up, and I thought to acknowledge this stupid year of life I'd look back at the things I've been interested in the past. Y'all are very welcome to help me celebrate these fandoms or people.
LOTR on Fanlore
LOTRIPS on Fanlore
I mean check out that elf. Lord of the Rings is the first fandom mentioned in this journal, or at least the journals that were combined into this one. I think LOTR was the first thing that ever got me to write and share with other actual people. I think I mostly read/wrote Legolas/Boromir or Aragorn/Boromir and then I fell down the real people slash hole and it was awkward for everybody. It was the first community I was ever a part of, and I have fond memories. I think I've managed to forget all the not so fond memories very much like highschool.
( Legolas and Boromir ended up being the characters I thought about the most. )
( They were all real pretty at Lothlorien. )
Then The Two Towers came out, and what had started as a quickly passing, 'hey who was that elf' turned into 'he is my elf and how dare you kill him'. Let me show you my favorite hug up to that point in my fannishness (which brings up an interesting thing to rank -> hugs).
( Here come the elves. )
I think it was between this movie and Return of the King (which I know is a thing but is not my favorite though I don't remember why) that I came up with what has to be my most traumatic self-insert OC daydream even through today.
( OCs are like dreams very few people want to hear about other people's. )
Anyway, I don't remember the last time I watched these movies. Maybe I'll do a marathon over this winter since they were xmas movies for so long. Do any of you have LOTR memories? Fics you can't forget? (I don't remember any at this point.)
