What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think I'm safely far away from Mordor.

Closely linked to reality TV is the slew of 'celebrity' magazines that stare you in the face in every newsagent. The covers feature ex-Big Brother contestants and they have in depth articles about Jade Goody's spots and such like. They must fill the shelves of the Mordor public library.

The only reality show that I like nowadays is The Amazing Race. Does that send me to Mordor?

Mary-sues should be send to Mordor. Can't stand that kind of fan-fiction.

I am .... er ..... ah .... a regular viewer of Survivor. Funny, where did all those blasted pits and sumps come from? I don't remember seeing them before!...

I would like to send my thirteen year old self to Mordor. Some of my posts from 2003 make me shudder, really they do.

I also, what is it, fifth? the brilliant notion of sending chavs to Mordor.

I send all cigarette smokers to Mordor, especially those who mindlessly spew their smoke. If they want to end their lives, there are other ways to do so without getting others involved.

Of course, in doing so, I think I've significantly diminished the Downs population. Hopefully I did not.

How about satirical ones like my own dear Merisuwyniel? She's a gorgeous, talented, pure-blooded Elven shieldmaiden with a wonderful personality and a great fashion sense for knowing just what one wears to a Quest. You can't want to send her to Mordor!!

Lathriel · 07-01-2005, 05:16 PM

I am sorry but I don't like fan fiction very much in general. Go ahead write them, but I won't read them.

On Robin Hobb's website you can read a whole rant about fan fiction and I agree with her.

But I wouldn't send people to Mordor if they write fan fiction although I think Robin Hobb would.

Bêthberry · 07-01-2005, 05:20 PM

I doubt very much if this Robin Hobb's rant comes close to being applicable

to our very own Merisuwyniel or either of our Revenge of the Entish Bow or Reunification of the Entish Bow. Not *all* fanfictions are alike.

One really ought to read them before one casts rants.

Lathriel · 07-01-2005, 10:58 PM

I didn't mean it as a rant. Apologies if it was taken that way.

What else should be send to Mordor?

Clothes for dogs! With this I mean clothes like the ones Tinkerbell (Paris Hilton's dog) is forced to wear. I feel very sorry for the dog who has to wear such things.
