We love you guys, NN10 & Lothiriel, and we love your ideas, & we love that you support each other, long may you keep it up! It's just that this thread was already almost shut down once for veering too far off-topic and off-Tolkien, we just escaped shutdown by getting serious in the nick of time and we were 'kindly let to live.' (Magwich, Great Expectations-- love that book. Now THAT's fantasy comparable to Tolkien! Magwich, Gollum, two great fantasy alteregos! Denethor, Miss Haversham, two great fantasy 'so-bad-they're-good' villains!) Listen, thanks for your support about my friend, NazgulNumber10 and Thinhyandoiel. Good quote, NN10-- I do feel lucky. Very true. Now, since you seem tuned into shades of grey and internal conflict, NazgulNumber 10, do you have any favorite 'so-bad-they're-good' villains in LotR or elsewhere? You know, villains you hate but feel sorry for, like I do about Miss H. and Steward D. Did they inspire anything in your story?
