Which Minor Works Protagonist Are You?

(Yeah, it's the evil twin of Surviving the Minor Works.

)

Me, kind of annoying?!

Formendacil · 04-22-2006, 02:17 AM

Niggle???

Niggle!!!

Diamond... if I wasn't half a sucker for these tests, I'd almost have to call me insulted.

Bêthberry · 04-22-2006, 03:23 AM

there'd be a bigger bang.

Fancy this for me!

Must have been all that cake. And, really, honest, I never say 'let them eat cake.'

I suppose I really ought to go and do Fordim's quizzes now.

narfforc · 04-22-2006, 08:35 AM

I am Niggle, I half expected it to be so. Having spent the last two years writing The Lord of the Grins, I find myself constantly going back over it and revising, in exactly the same way Tolkien did with his copy of my book.

Meela · 04-22-2006, 09:06 AM

Smith of Wooton Major, from Smith of Wooton Major. I'm looking forward to saying that to random people twenty times a day.

Sadly I haven't read this yet though.

ROVERANDOM (from Roverandom) -- You're young, adventurous, spunky, and gosh darn cute. Your cheeky behavior has gotten you into trouble but with a little help from your friends you find your way to a comfortable home eventually.

Again, with the cheeky. I've never read Roverandum, but I think this result is quite accurate.

Lalaith · 04-22-2006, 10:46 AM

The only minor works I've read are Leaf by Niggle and Farmer Giles, years and years ago. So I've no idea whether it is good or bad to find out you are Mr Bliss.

Niggl'am I. Almost forgot about that little story. But yes, I agree, I find it difficult to finish thi-

Shiny!

Celuien · 04-22-2006, 03:03 PM

I am Smith of Wooton Major. Now to read it. I'm so far behind on my list of things to do.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 04-22-2006, 03:09 PM

I... I got Farmer Giles of Ham!

Seriously, a gruff farmer?

There was one question where I couldn't really decide between two options, and on the second time when I picked the other answer, I got Smith of Wooton Major that describes me a bit better, I hope...
But still, Farmer Giles of Ham? *shakes head*

(I haven't read either of those stories yet, so I'm going on just based on the test's descriptions.)

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 04-22-2006, 03:27 PM

I'm Smith. A dreamer, a gentle soul. Yes, yes, we all know.

I'm strangely pleased about that.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-23-2006, 06:52 AM

I'm also Smith. I'm surprised I wasn't defaulted with someone more "cheeky" or spunky, but the result actually fits well.

Meh. That sounds right.

Now get off my land! *shakes pitchfork*

Diamond18 · 04-23-2006, 12:21 PM

So far it would seem that Oddwen and I are the only Roverandoms.

Lalaith · 04-23-2006, 12:26 PM

And I am the only Mr Bliss. Who IS Mr Bliss?

Diamond18 · 04-23-2006, 01:08 PM

He's the man in the picture that went with your result, silly Lalaith.

See Here.

Doesn't Wootton have two Ts?

Gruff? Moi? En vérité c'est pas possible!... When delicacy is my middle name? And yet, and yet... m-mm, lemme see... maybe, may well be, even is so.... especially when they [try to, most likely in vain] rouse me in the morning... but ain't farmer supposed to be an early riser?.... well, every rule must have an exception, so that makes sense, I suppose... or does it?...'Salt of the earth' - did you just call me dirt, mate?... it is a compliment? Is it?...

Well, cutting out dramatics, can't tell I did expect this, but can't tell I'm displeased with the result either. Only me and my Queen Agatha shall have to exercise more to stay fit these days when solidity is often mistaken for friability...
