Kransha posted a wonderful thread-initiating bundle of words recently, concerning one of my favourite characters Denethor. Check it out, c'est tres bien.

But I do see the point. Let it be so.

Er, with that in mind, allow me to play severe auntie's part again, and request that posters should provide full title and authorship of the nominées, please? With links, if you don't mind? Thank you!

So, Eomer of the Rohirrim nominates Kransha's The Importance of Being Denethor

cheers

I second that nomination of Kransha's new Denethor thread!

HerenIstarion · 10-12-2004, 01:32 AM

Now I've read it, I third the nomination

More, I would suggest to post it as an article on the main site.

(not meaning to single out davem or to suggest any kind of question about the humorous posts or the rep system.)

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to post as much as I'd like on the Downs

(also, my sense of humour is something of an aquired taste & is usually taken the wrong way

), & if you've struggled through my only fanfic (Orophin Dreams of the Waters of Awakening - in the fanfic section), I'm not sure you'd want me involved in an RPG!

Thank you HerenIstarion for providing that link and playing severe auntie.

I had PMed a certain person suggesting a link would help but your gracious post was anything but severe.

Ah, davem, I have indeed read your fanfic. The main problem I can see if you and I were to join an RPG together is that we likely could never agree just what our intentions are. My bogan would forever be miswriting your spriggan. And vice versa.

Kransha's post is amazing. To be quite honest, it makes me realise that Meela was on to something about Denethor even though I couldn't understand her way of getting at it. Hmm. I hope that statement is taken the right way. It is meant as a compliment all round.

Having said that, I wish to acknowledge a rather unique contribution here. It is not one that most of us could make, but still I think it deserves great mention here: The Barrow Wight's Middle earth Magnets thread. This new game manages to combine several of the best features of our site: humour, playful respect for Tolkien, knowledge of Middle earth, imagination, and just darn good writing. A superb new contribution from the guy who just never runs out of great new ways to make this site interesting. Kudos!
