Welcome to Barrow Downs, Finduilas

Your proposal is of value, and of course, it's a good idea to have a thread on Boromir. Thing is, there are already several existing threads on the subject, which can be found at following locations:

Choice #1 (for the purposes you proclaim your main goal): Boromir's Lovers - Unite!

besides, to list the few:

LotR -- Book 3 - Chapter 1 - The Departure of Boromir (recommended)
What if Boromir claimed the Ring
Boromir's way?
Civil War if Boromir Survived?
Elvish Blood in Boromir and Faramir
Boromir and the Ring
Opinions on Boromir
Frodo and Boromir
The Tears of Boromir (recommended)

I used Search Engine to retreive the links above. You are cordially invited to employ the same once in doubt whether topic you are going to raise is already discussed elsewhere

You may be good advised to wade through those, and to continue discussion in one of your choice, or, if you are not satisfied, start a new thread. But as I've found during my [long] posting career, old threads can be given a thrust to take new direction quite easily, and people tend to go back to familiar threads rather than participate in new one which, as they feel, deals with what has been alraedy chewed over

Nice thread name, BTW. Despite that, advice above stays in force, o'course

cheers

You got to it before I did Heren. . I have a feeling that this thread will be closed, however, it might stand up since most discussions are rather old. Besides the Chapter-by-Chapter discussion.

Good advice?

I cross-posted with Boromir88 in my previous. Whilst I wallowed in parental advice sort of speeches, he posted a worthy reply. I suppose there is no point in following my advice now, all is ruined, all is gone, gollm, gollm... tons of people will pop up to continue the trend here

So be it Here is another link to 7 sins/virtues thread, by Squatter this time. Take a look:

Seven Deadly Sins in Middle Earth

cheers

EDIT: Funny how we keep cross posting

Closing is up to mods. And participation ratio, of course END OF EDIT

Boromir´s not bad. He´s lovely.

I had a dream once, which I think, describes Boromir very much. He was in Lórien and talking with Galadriel. He said:

"It´s not easy to be the only evil among good people. It´s not easy to be the only man among women."

Well it may make you laugh, as it made me afterwards, but I really thing that my dream caught the spirit of Boromir, if it doesn´t sound too profound...
