what would possibly exist in the farthest east? fan fiction.

The Battle of the White Council-

....was a fabled conflict in ages past, in which The Barrow-Wight, Mister Underhill, and Mithadan strove for mastery of the Downs!
No wait, that was the Battle of the Wight Council.

Some puns just never get old.

I'd rep this, but apparently I've repped you too recently...

I'm entirely too enamored of puns, but it's a hard Hobbit to break.

None of this is personal! It's just people riffing on thread titles. It's all in fun.

how durin founded the longbeards:

He turned left at Gundabad, and there they were.

Gandalf and Pippin hung a right by Amon Dîn and "found" it.

Ach! I guess that just goes to show the repetitive tracks on which my mind runs.

Why not start another thread about such Replies? Some weird and funny replies would be awesome and fun!

I was rereading this thread (better than any newspaper joke section!) and came across a nice little tidbit from myself that I had no memory of writing:

They aren't. It has drifted so even perfectly sensible thread titles get smart alecky comments

I have had sulky moments of thinking that there is nothing wrong with thread titles of my own creation, and that they aren't even questions... but try not to let it rankle. And please don't let it put you off posting.

who are the nazgul? –You know those guys in the cloaks? Them.

decent of house of hurin –Well, Faramir was okay...

What differentiates the Valar from the Maiar? –Isn’t it obvious? “Valar” has a “V” in it!

Did Tolkien even plan to fill in the other sections of Middle-earth? –Yes, but he ran out of crayons.

How close is the published The Silmarillion to JRRT's Silmarillion? - Three letters away.

Did the Ring Shrink?

Yes, but only because Frodo left it in his pocket on laundry day.

That reminds me of a very inappropriate thing I saw on tumblr which I post here severely tidied up (and will remove if there are objections to its existence):

Quote:

All of the little deaths in fic are so violent. His little death came like a punch to the gut. It hit him like a mack truck. It knifed him in a freaking alley. What these little deaths need is a good education.

Quote:

the little death tapped him on the shoulder politely because it wasn’t raised in a barn

Quote:

By the time he came back to himself, the little death had washed the dishes, vacuumed the living room, and retrieved his lost house key from under the chaise lounge.
