*Claps* Yay Desdinova! Much praise from the resident peanut gallery  I think your take on fanfiction is excellent (though I admit, I'm rather fond of reading about Leggy in intimate situations) But you still have a wonderful point, and I hope to see some of YOUR fanfiction on this site, I would most certainly read it  (I've discovered the bunny!)

You know, so would I.
Right now, I'm a little backlogged. Working on a Digimon Season 02 story that will disturb the few people left willing to read it (Digimon is all but dead), but then so did the plot arc it was taken from. Oh, and a LoK fic that will be genuinely romantic, difficult as it is to accomplish in that millieu. I have an LotR story in there somewhere, but for the meantime, it's too vague to start.
I will say this about the LotR universe. With a cast of (hundreds of) thousands to pick from, you'll never run dry of inspiration.
BittenBuggy, you seem like a nice person. Please don't be troubled about my comments. You know what disturbs me more than sappy, spoogy writing? The fact that most people can't match the dialogue, and very few even try. And it's the dialogue tone, far more than the description, that gives LotR the distinctive sound it has. This is part of why I haven't tackled an LotR project yet. Regardless of plotline, to me it has to sound right. When I do, trust me. You'll see it here first.
You found the bunny? Well, I'm glad to see that the rabbit didn't
die. |

That is an excellent way of putting it. Welcome, Desdinova!  |

Depends. Tolkien got a little frisky when he was writing that bit about Aragorn and Arwen rolling around in the elinor in Lothlorien. 
(and welcome!) |

Ooooo...and the original version of the Silm where Eol took Aredhel "to wife by force", or where Luthien "loved" Beren until she left him in a "swoon" the next morning? And how Celeborn and Galadriel were "lovers" before they got married? And in a letter Tolkien wrote to his son, he specifies exactly what he thinks the word lover means.
Lots of room to play around with in canon, if you're of a mind. |

What does a male swoon consist of exactly?
How does one make a male 'swoon'? Is there bending and flexing involved?
Oh, better not go there...

Yes it would. I would attempt it, if I had time, but I'm still trying to figure out how to write that Celebrimbor plot bunny you sicced on me.
That would be nice if somebody gave it a go! Besides Beren and Luthien, that is.... |

Exactly my complaint. I liked the characters the way they were when I read the story - and I read and write fanfic to read more of that.

You just can't help yourself, can you? Poor victimized Ariel... how we have done thee harm...
do.
P.S. Rob says I shouldn't bother, but hey, I gotta give you the reaction you probably seek. I'm just that generous.

I was responding to a post someone directed me to - it was similar to my feelings on the subject - in a place I know I am not welcome. I was merely assuring you know I wouldn't be bothering you any more than that one post. OK... two.

I don't have a problem with your post, Ariel, or the sentiments your share with what was being said above... no, it's that little line you just *had* to add at the end.
::shakes head::
But there's no getting through to you, you're way too happy playing the martyr, the victim. So go on... bleed away.
do. (the mean bitch)

Had you an interest in trying, you would learn differently.
OK... so three...

Slash involving canon characters bothers me simply because it can't be done without violating canon. The main characters in LotR are JUST NOT GAY. This is not a matter of interpretation, or homophobia, or anything else. It's spelled out in black and white. Period. Once again, this is MY take on it.

Not only yours. It takes a lot to convince me that such a relationship might be believabe - the main reason why there is only one single slash story on my site with translated Tolkien-Fanfiction (translated into german, btw.). Therefore I was really grateful to discover <i>Open Scrolls</i>. Glad to be here!

This is too easy...
Lots of bending and flexing and licking and... well you get the idea
Beren/Luthien in canon PWP plot bunny  what more can you ask for?
I think we've found another elitist snob to join our club of good writing fans: Desdinova
Welcome to our little oasis in the wilderness that is Tolkien Fanfic. It is nice to have more who are interested in good canon writing
