Best locations - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I suppose one really has to have been there to appreciate this location, but this is great: Lostgaeriel's location

Posting again but I just found this too great to not mention. 'Tis the location of Sophia the Thunder Mistress: Some dream world where Roger Daltrey still looks like he did in 1971. Heh... I wonder if she'd let me join her there.

If she does, put in a good word for me, eh? I wanna come too!

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-19-2005, 01:27 PM

More are always welcome.

The Only Real Estel · 01-19-2005, 07:58 PM

Rose Cotton's is very....true.

w00t!

Well, it's the best location I've ever been to, anyway.

Encaitare · 01-26-2005, 11:46 AM

I dig Nuranar's:

Quote:

30.61°N 96.29°W

Now we know exactly where to find her!

~Enca, from roughly 40°47'N 73°58'W

Orual · 01-26-2005, 02:49 PM

I second Encaitare's mention of Nuranar's location, and I also like the Phantom's (though it made finding one for myself difficult!), and I wonder about Rilwen Gamgee's. Are we all in the same opera house?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-26-2005, 03:03 PM

I can't speak for Rilwen, but I'm chilling out in Erik's torture chamber.

Rilwen Gamgee · 01-26-2005, 03:23 PM

Quote:

Are we all in the same opera house?

It would seem so, yes; but I mainly changed mine, because the last one was a bit too depressing (and I love chocolate).

Quote:

I'm chilling out in Erik's torture chamber.

...And 'twould seem that you have an advantage, because you're already dead.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-26-2005, 03:31 PM

So long as your random seat isn't in Box 5, Ril.

If we've anyone else who's a PotO enthusiast, they could perch upon Apollo's Lyre. Or lie in waiting beneath the waters of the lake. Or sing behind the walls...

Orual · 01-26-2005, 05:32 PM

Quote:

Good point! You can always go after the opera's over, though, Ril, and see if anybody's left some chocolates...

I hadn't seen yours before, Feanor, but I like it! It's very poetic.

Orual · 01-29-2005, 11:22 AM

This one has nothing to do with the Phantom of the Opera, but I just noticed and am rather enamored of Meela's:

Quote:

12 feet under. They don't take any chances with me.

And it goes nicely with her avatar, too!

the phantom · 01-29-2005, 08:12 PM

It seems I am not alone in my subterranean stomping grounds.

Perhaps I will move into box 5 for a bit and leave my lair open to all of you little squatters who seem intent on settling in my haunts whether I have given you permission or not.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-30-2005, 11:59 AM

Ah, at last. I can reach the house on the other side of the lake without the inconvenience of dropping through the trap door into the torture chamber in which I'm currently trapped. We can only hope his sirens are taking a nap.

Evisse the Blue · 01-31-2005, 08:00 AM

*laughs at all the 'phans'*
So is everybody in post-Phantom of the Opera ecstasy?
*scowls* because I haven't seen the movie yet!

For a while now I wanted to point out The X Phial's location: "out there with the truth. Come find me" as being wonderful and fitting her profile perfectly. I'd also like to nominate her for most creative nickname. Cool play upon words...funny and witty...especially for those who remember those wonderful, special 8+ years of insanity and paranoia...*sigh*

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-31-2005, 08:07 AM

I've always liked X's location too, Evisse.

Now if she'd just show up now and then...

Finwe-89 · 02-03-2005, 08:59 AM

I like locations of people with nature, I know I'm a softy :P

Estelyn Telcontar · 02-03-2005, 09:29 AM

Finwe-89, please check your PMs. Thank you!

Finwe-89 · 02-03-2005, 09:41 AM

Yes and I agree with you

Meela · 02-03-2005, 04:55 PM

Might there be room in the Opera House for li'l ol' me? I'm currently Inside your mind, and looking forward to a comfortable stay.

Orual · 02-03-2005, 04:59 PM

Welcome to l'Opera, Meela! I like your new location. Concise, and also evocative for those who are familiar with Erik's doings, and slightly unnerving to those who are not. Nicely done!

Finwe-89 · 02-04-2005, 08:43 AM

Srry but what's L'Opera?

It's French. "the opera".

The Phantom of the Opera, although by an English playright and written in English, takes place in Paris. France.

Quite simple, really...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-04-2005, 03:54 PM

Saucepan's location makes me chuckle.

Quote:

The land of embarrassment and breakfast

Sounds like a place I'd be familiar with if I did breakfast more frequently.

Oh, and Phantom, don't think we haven't noticed your sneaky plot to use this movie to gain popularity and ultimately take over the world. I know what you're up to and I vow to stop you.

Sophia

Encaitare · 02-04-2005, 04:13 PM

Party at the Opera House! Woohoo! We'll swim in the lake, rave to the organ stylings of the Phunkmaster Phantom, and who knows, maybe hang someone! Yay!

I love that movie!

So, that's who I've been talking to.

Orual · 02-07-2005, 09:07 PM

I like Oddwen's:

Will the years treat us well?

Also, I just noticed that the phantom actually did move into box 5...and I think that's fabulous. ^_^

Encaitare · 02-07-2005, 10:00 PM

Quote:

Shhh! Don't say the R-word!

I didn't realize there were so many Priscilla fans around here (Mithalwen, Eswen, Kitanna)... v. cool.

Yeah I like those two as well

Encaitare's...

Elennar Starfire · 03-06-2005, 12:37 PM

I love all the Phantom of the Opera ones. Quite nice.

Quote:

Looking for the question to Life, the Universe and Everything

I've found it: 7 x 6 =

In all seriousness, I love your location. It brings to mind a quote from Return of the King (the movie):

Quote:

Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on herladry, or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars.

Which, ironically enough, I believe is somebody else's location. Will wonders never cease?

It was mine for a while; I don't doubt that others have used it since it's such an awesome bit of writing.

Elennar Starfire · 03-13-2005, 01:43 PM

I've added a bit to mine.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-17-2005, 06:52 AM

It's appropriate, and quite funny.

Carnimírië · 04-01-2005, 06:43 PM

I like elronds_daughter's new one:

Niggle's Parish

I just read Leaf by Niggle and it's great!

Amanaduial the archer · 04-10-2005, 03:38 PM

Imladris's - somehow I've never looked at it before, but I'm trying to memorise several poems at the moment, one of which is Jabberwocky, so hers suddenly stood out

Quote:

Gyring and gimbling in the wabe

A nice twist on it. Not to mention the creation of two whole new verbs: how is it that one would go about this 'gimbling' business then, hmm?

Encaitare · 04-14-2005, 01:46 PM

Esty's made me laugh (or hack, rather, with this dreadful sore throat of mine):
