I still think I got rooked.

WM, Ted – you’re Princess Leia and Darth Vader on my site. Blame young master Jones.

Help me too – is that the one about the kids on the desert island?

Help – like I said, I’ve only just got into fantasy, so will you wait while I read Lord of the Rings and learn my part?

I wanna be King Of The World! Wah!

Hang on a sec. Who do I cop off with now? Do we have a Boromir that’s not combined with a dwarf? Or a replacement Aragorn?

That makes you my little sister, Katy.

That’s IT. Ed is out of control and must be demoted. Ed, you are now Eomer, scourge of the mighty Uruk-Hai.

And don’t be complaining, now, or you’ll end up as the jolly innkeeper.

You DO realize what this makes me, don’t you? It makes me–

I’m already neurotic about being a twenty-something.

By: Katy Newton

Katy Newton — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:57:07 +0000

Very early thirties, Sam. Almost not thirties at all. Pretty much twenties, but with a 3 where there used to be a 2. You’ll learn. Oh, you’ll learn.

That Infinite Muppets guy could be Gollum.

Aw, shucks, Cliff. But yes, I am great.

I don’t mind being a hobbit, but I’m not doing the hairy feet thing, I think that’s a bit disgusting. It does worry me that you all know the names of everyone in the films, though. I can’t even tell the three of them apart. That Liv Tyler was attractive though.

(hehe, Katy, early thirties…)

Who’s Gollum, then?

By: Wendy

Wendy — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 15:36:15 +0000

I realise that! I could do much worse, I reckon!

Hey dad – love your site. You don’t mind if I call you dad, right? Or would you prefer daddy?

Oh – and I’ve already checked Sam out, and he’s HOT. I mean, funny and clever and interesting. Great site. Yes.

You can just call me Strider. Hey Wendy, you do realise that yiu and I are now betrothed, right? And that makes Cliff my future father-in-law……

So, which one’s GollumSmeagol, and who’s playing Saruman and Sauron and all the other bad guys, like the Mouth of Sauron ( I get to lop off his head!) and The witch King of Angmar?

Katy Newton — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 14:51:41 +0000

Oh. Ted’s Gandalf. And perhaps I should be Eowyn (fair daughter of the Eorlingas!) so that Writer’s Moll can be Galadriel. Yes, that works considerably better. OK, revised as follows:

Me – Eowyn, Theoden’s sister-daughter. Sounds dubious.

Ted – Gandalf. Long he fell, and the Balrog fell with him!

Writer’s Moll – Galadriel. ALL SHALL LOVE HER AND DESPAIR!

Thislings? Are we in Lord of the Rings? Superb. Okay, this is how it is. Don’t argue with me.

Wendy = Arwen, the Evenstar of her people, i.e. us. Unless you’d rather be Eowyn, Wenders, it’s up to you.

Cliff = Elrond: wielder of Vilya, mightiest of the Three.

Mr Angry = a sort of composite of Boromir and Gimli. ROWR!

Sam = hobbitses. That’s what happens when you’re a 23 year old blogger with fans in their early to mid thirties.

Ed R = Aragorn. Let’s go hunt some orc!

Me = Galadriel. All shall love me and despair!

Hehe, very good. I particularly like the Directors Commentary, I can see that taking off elsewhere…
