Lord of the Rings 2003

[Afrodal Fenyar]

So, I'm planning to "rewrite" this fantastic book, so that it would happen in our time and in our world. But I really could use some help.

What do you think - should I make it short, with only main replics and adventures, or a pretty long one, so that it would have even most of the fights with the orcs?

I'm not yet completely sure if I turn the whole story to our world - making elves Finns(of course, I'm from Finland :P) and so on.

Or should I keep the names same and make it still happen in Middle-Earth? Nonetheless, the elves, dwarves, hobbits, dragons, balrogs, orcs and so on will be turned to humans. But their nature will be the same. Comments.

I think the Ring would be something with which you could - err - fire nuclear weapons from the pits of Mt. Doom? :P Sauron, homewer, isn't able to fire them, because he doesn't have the "Ring". The great character(Galadriel, Gandalf, and so on) are able to do that with the Ring, because they are able to find out the password?

But if you want to help, then post your ideas to this thread. With what should I replace the dwarves, elves and such races that are not seen in the real world? How is the "Ring" able to make somebody live longer? Or how is it possible for some characters to live so long? Or should I just turn all those "thousands of years" to "dozens of years"?

Well, hope the admins don't delete this thread, though this is pretty.. Stupid one?

And remember, this is going to be sort of funny parody, so crazy things are allowed too :P If I can ever complete this, I will add the names of everybody who helped to credits.

Erm.
