I'd think if anybody beyond Sauron and his pet wolves can be held responsible for that at all, it would have to be Beren, or actually rather Celegorm & Curufin. Luthien has an alibi - she was working on her escape from the tree-house at the time.
Caught the virus from Urwen already?

Why am I delighted to see a Watership Down reference in a Tolkien Forum? I must have never grown up...
Tolkien makes my heart leap with excitement, while Watership Down makes it all fluffy with content.

I'd bet on Fiver. He's wicked smart.

If he's your secret, then I'm not trusting you with any of mine.

The only interesting women in Tolkien are blondes .... Galadriel, Idril, Nienor, Erendis, Eowyn. The brunettes are deified but dreary.

Agreed. You all should read my Luthiet and Bereo story.

But seriously,Lalaith could have lived to grow up. I mean,even Fiver's bro died of old age,not because General killed him! I mean,really...

No I have been banging on about this for probably longer than she has been alive..Finrod would have been nowhere near the mutts if it hadn't been for the canary's crush or Mr Gormless...

I never understand why Luthien is meant to be so powerful when she hasn't mastered the knack of getting round Daddy that most females have nailed by six months...

So...if we're changing indiscriminate parts of the Silmarillion to keep Lalaith alive, I want to introduce a character to Maedhros who can possibly persuade him to give up violence forever.

I've put a lot of thought into this. After a battle this elf-princess of no particular kingdom would come across him while he is wounded, and nurse him back to health, impressing him with her gentle and peacelike ways. She would be tall and womanly, with long blonde hair and piercing green eyes. She is very accomplished in singing, dancing, fainting, cooking, magick, healing, and killing only when absolutely needed.

The only flaw in her is that she looks exactly like me. Not that there's anything wrong with me, I thought I would give her some realism
so this serious character is not confused with a common Mary-Sue.

Oh good. I'm glad we've got that point cleared up.

Urwen · 07-18-2010, 05:15 AM
