Amrod the Hunter · 11-28-2004, 09:18 AM

I just love all sons of Feanor but Amrod and Amras have the shortest names and they are not madmans like some of their brothers.So I had to choose beetween Amrod and Amras.I chose Amrod and added "the Hunter" bacause he is a great hunter.

Morgul Queen · 11-28-2004, 02:40 PM

When I was new to this fandom I fangirlled the Witch-King and one day, while reading the books, I found that he was referred to as the Morgul-Lord, mis-read it as Morgul-King and thought 'A King has to have a Queen...Oooh I could be a Queen!' Hence the name...

I dropped the Queen long ago on the other sites and forums I'm on, but most people refer to me as Morgy now.

Actually, that's an weird one too. One of my mates on another site I'm on, The PPC Board...well, it was chat at the time, goes by the name of Morgoth and used to have the nick-name of 'Morgy'. When I became his minion (It was an all out war against Merry and Pippin and any who brought up the new-found and dreaded pairing of Varda/Morgoth and everyone was claiming minions. Varda was not impressed) he gave me the nick-name of Morgy because he hated it and wanted to torture me for not B-ZIP!-ing the hobbits fast enough.

*grins* Then we started calling him 'Melkie'.

So you really have a variaty of names to call me by. Morgul, Morgy, Morg, 'Hey You!', and 'What on earth do you think you're doing!!!'.

EarthBound has many meanings to me.....I'm a soil scientist and work closely with natural resource conservation . . . very tied to the Earth and all

I've always wanted to travel space (my first movie ever was StarWars at the drive-in Theater in 1977 in the front of my family's yellow Ford pickup...sigh) so with that in mind I heard the song Fly by Pink Floyd and there's the line about being an earth bound missfit....and I went Oh Yeah, That's Me!!

So...I'm tied to the Earth, for good or bad, but I try to save it each day (professionaly) for all of us...

But can you keep your eyes from the circling sky?

haha. Um...I actually picked mine b/c I love elves. However, many of my friends and family are in LOTR and I didn't want them to know that I am, well, myself. So, since I hate being referred to as chick, I figured, "Hey, they'll never guess that." Thus it remains.

I like ninjas. If only the Fellowship had a ninja, then he could easily and resentlessly (is that a word?) infiltrate Mordor and destroy the Ring with ease. If only...

Isabellkya.. well I have always liked the name Isabella.. but I changed it a little bit for this character which I play in a game.. and I usually go by Miyu or in some cases Princess Miyu on other forums.. and I just felt like a change.
