 Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2009 6:53 pm Post subject: LOTR Bunny - Owner's Guide |
 |
|
I've seen some awesome "Owner's Guide and Maintenence Manuals" floating around, and after reading through some of them I got to thinking - what if there actually WAS a company that made these characters? Can you imagine what it would be like to have a crowd of Feanors, Legolases and Gandalfs trying to puzzle their way through modern day life? Things like pasta, cars, vaccines, fangirls, coffee shops.... all of them and many more could make for some serious hilarity. Think about it.  I'd like to write it myself, but I don't have the time or the knowlege to do so.
Plot bunny is free to a good home! Do what you like with it, please! |

Believe it or not, I've been pecking away at a story sort of like this: Elf goes through Time Warp, gets dropped into modern day Cleveland, falls for Yoga instructor/artist being stalked by her creepy neighbor. It features a psychic cat.

There's Elrohir's fascination with refrigerator lights in Elrohir's Tale and Legolas's Pepsi *problem* in The Patient. I did a story about modern elves, too.
It's been done, but there's always room for a fresh take. |

| I've seen a few really good modern day fics. (not those ones, though - I'll check 'em out! ) I was thinking of actual robots programed to behave like LOTR characters. Can you point me to a fic like that? |

| Robot Tolkien elves... those could become popular! People (women) would stampede each other at department stores during the silly season. |

There were some fics around here like that. Not sure how I would search for them  but if I think of anything and find anything I will post again.

That was one reason that I wanted to post this. ^^
The other reason is that so few of those Legolas and Aragorn fangirls know about characters like Feanor, Gil-Galad, Tuor or Finrod. If the robots from the first age were programed the right way there would likely be excesses of righteous indignation over the lack of attention first-agers get.

I'm quite certain that given the proper reading material, Feanor could figure out what's wrong with my brakes. If anyone sees him around, please send him my way. Once you're done with him, of course.

Feanor? Really, Vlad? Why not find an equally adept but somewhat less crazy individual like Celebrimbor?

You don't want Feanor messing with your brakes, Vlad. One minute it's a mild-mannered Cavalier, the next, he's got it under lock and key because it's attempting to signal the Decepticons and he's too proud to let it go.

Where's the fun in that?

He's explaining how the whole brake system works while we admire his pecs.

And by "we" you mean every female who isn't Galadriel. |

Maybe Arwen would be exempt as well. ^_~
