Noo!  I only just discovered this thread and the whole Steward's family is already taken! (Unless you want an FAQ for Finduilas?)
All right, then, I'd be willing to do Aragorn if no one else wants him.

would this be the appropriate place to ask for a brief description of groups or races? Like please tell me the difference between the elves: moroqendi, noldor, teleri, sindarin etc....
what about men: haradrim, the others (for lack of a better term for gondorians, rohirrim and the ones from arnor)
general description of Maia (Istari), hobbits, men, elves, orcs, uruk-hai, tha nazgul and how they came to be, and what the differences were.
what about kingdoms and when they existed and what major characters were involved in it's history.
that sounds more like an ecyclopdedia but sometimes you wonder about a person's heritage.
what do you think?

You can have Faramir if you want. I'll just do Aragorn instead. I dont mind.

That sounds great - but one thing at a time, please!
If someone else wants to take this on that would be fine; I couldn't manage it right now.

It's a deal, Leila--thanks!! 
And I'll still do Finduilas. (Er, that's Finduilas of Dol Amroth, not Finduilas daughter of Orodreth, btw. ) |

Seems there is already someone who does Aragorn and so I am not needed there  . Would have done it gladly. But I will be in for Halbarad!

Question - should we quote in our FAQ? Because I was thinking maybe we could do a little section on 'chapters to read' or something, pointing in the direction of chapter/sections etc most relevant to the character? I know that'll be more difficult for some characters than others...
Also - is there a deadline? Or a length restriction/requirement?

There is no deadline, and no length restriction or requirement - quite a lot can be written about Aragorn (he of the 9 million nick-names), but less about even Legolas since little is known of his non-Fellowship years.
| Cadiliniel wrote: | | Question - should we quote in our FAQ? |
If quotes are the best way you can think of to say what you want, then please use them. If you check my Boromir FAQ/Character sketch you'll see that I did, because I wanted to highlight that what I included was text based, not my opinion or imagination.

That would be fine way to do it, especially if there is a wealth of information available; remember though, your audience will include folks unfamiliar with the books.
My Boromir FAQ is up in the Library section. It is really more of a character sketch - not written in the usual question and answer form of a FAQ - and can be used as a model or anti-model, whichever you might find most useful.

You can have Aragorn if you want. I don't mind. I'll just take.....Elros instead. K?
