Hello! there! *waves* Boy, it's been a little while since I last posted.
I'm pretty sure there are a couple of other threads that concern our favourite characters, but I can never get tired of ranting about them
So here they are, in no particular order (this might get long):
1. Maglor
2. Maedhros (I must admit, I hate those fanfics where he is portrayed as a perfect little angel)
3. Bilbo
4. Gandalf
5. Galadriel
6. Elrond
7. Glorfindel
8. Fëanor
9. Nerdanel
10. Túrin
11. Thingol (you had better believe it)
12. Celeborn
13. Finwë
14. Fingon
15. Beleg Cúthalion
16. Morwen
Erestor would be up there too, but he's more of a fan-created character, even though Tolkien technically invented him
I'm neutral towards the race of Men. I do like Elros, though.
Actually, you know what, there are very few characters I
dislike. Tuor is definitely one of them.
Hmm my opinion on Fëanor. It's sort of mixed, but in the end I like him. He appeals to me as a character (definitely not as a person). I mean, he's insane enough to start a war, but deep enough to marry a woman who is patient and adventurous rather than just "Leik zomg I'm Luthien and I'm sooooz prettyyyyss and I have teh gorgus voice!"
Yeah. Sorry. I just kind of have something against Lúthien and Arwen. They both seem kind of useless to me.
By the way, what are YOUR favourite characters? And your take on the Spirit of Fire?
