Yes, and if it wasn't for Isildur, Gondor wouldn't have it's white tree, if I recall correctly. Saving it from being destroyed by Sauron and all that....

Exactly. That's the subject matter of one of Rhapsody's drabbles.
I've always been fascinated by that story, given the clime in Numenor at that time and the fact that Elendil's family were not exactly trusted, that Isildur had to sneak into the city and risk that for the cutting. I've always meant to write the story myself but never had the time.

Hamster Doom, thanks for the welcome. Those Trilogy marathons can get pretty tiring at times!

It's a somewhat long story, but the short verison is I stumbled upon Thuriniel's story "The Bond" on fanfiction.net. It was the first piece of Lord of the Rings fiction that actually made we want to read more. Before then, I wasn't a very big fan of fanfiction at all. But, I kind of forgot about fanfiction for awhile and then when I can back to read the rest of Thuriniel's story I couldn't find it online. So, I googled it and found it here at Open Scrolls. I started snooping around for more stories that actually had plots that dabbled in creativity, as well as descriptive language. I noticed this place fit the bill, so I thought I'd stick around for a little...

Welcome! Now that Ghetto has made an appearance, you must be warned of the spit factor. That is while drinking, eating, whatever else you might be doing while reading anything on the site. You will laugh..(maybe choke, but for a good cause) over a story or post, or just plain silliness.
I'm a Horselord/ Elf fancier myself. My RL Horselord does not like horses though..Or LOTR, but he just lets me go ahead and dabble. LOL

Yeah, I have experienced the spit factor a few times around here already haha. I stumbled upon the beta appreciation thread about the funny things your beta has said and I found my laughing quite a bit at that. Glad to know the folks here have a good sense of humor! |

Hey, just had to drop in because apparently Space has lost her frickin mind again. Black Captain here, glad you could make it. We were beginning to worry. Well, I'm back to the parking lot to smoke some more crack with Morgoth and Satan. Later

Yeah, some definite spit action going on right now. You were right Melly, ghetto is hilarious and her current avie is brilliant.
But, I have a question Ghetto - where is Sauron? Shouldn't he be chillin with Morgoth and Satan too? |

He had a bad case of pink eye so Morgoth sent him away. He has a thing about germs. Fallen Vala are weird that way you know. 
Personally I think Morgoth is still a little pissed that he's the big bad and Sauron got all the press with those movies and he barely got a mention. He's rather fond of Legolas for mentioning him though. He got the Legolas barbie for Christmas from Gothmog. But every year I hear him complaining "A balrog of Morgoth? That's my only mention??? And only in the extended edition?? I get no damn credit for the orcs. Or for Sauron being such a bad ass?? That little pansy was nothing 'til he met me. Now he walks around like he's the bomb. Everyone knows he stole all my moves. A balrog of Morgoth? Hmpff...just wait until the final battle. That *&#($& Peter Jackson's the first to go!" I hope PJ makes a movie about the Silmarillion or else...
Gotta go...its my turn to walk, err fly, the fell beasts. Rhapsody and Binka keep losing them when they walk them. I think they are playing chicken with them personally and the loser never makes it back.
