^ I've never liked that novel.

OMFG Sean Bean

Was great as Boramir but my heart was for his brother, Faramir

Middle Earth would open it to anything not just Tolkien

name the board after his full name?

sourburst · 11-22-2017, 09:49 AM

That wouldn't work because Tolkien has written more than just Middle Earth based fiction. This is just for Middle Earth works.

**crash landing** · 11-22-2017, 09:50 AM

Can you see why Middle Earth wouldn't work though?

there's other author's that have probably written within that type of fantasy genre

sourburst · 11-22-2017, 09:52 AM

Again, I did say that if no one else is confused by the notion of having all middle earth here that we can remain with The Lord of the Rings. But no I can't see what you mean when everything listed in this campaign OP is set in Middle Earth. Middle Earth is not a genre, it is a place Tolkien created.

Faramir!

Better than Boromir by far.

**crash landing** · 11-22-2017, 09:59 AM

There's plenty of time to figure it all out Jade

I just say that when the board is open and has been like a year or something, brand new

that has had no idea what we had planned - maybe could come to the board wanting to talk about literature similar

I can see that Tolkien may have sore claim to middle earth but there's other's that have written in that type - Terry Brooks? and the one that wrote Legend of the Seeker

Similar yet different fantasy types but still similar

I'm fine with Lord of the Rings

cause its easier to define with how people should know that The Hobbit is connected too it - its the prequel, LoTR is just the most popular

sourburst · 11-22-2017, 10:03 AM

The traffic can be directed towards Books and Writing.

The Lord of the Rings it will remain. Again, I'm sure management will decide whether it is a re-open or new opening.

**crash landing** · 11-22-2017, 10:04 AM

Sorry Jade and anyone else that sees me as arugmentive etc

just trying to explain where brand new board has happened before

Plus explaining where the name change suggestion could cause issues

so let's just stick to Lord of the Rings plus Management decision on re-open or brand new

**Meliana** · 11-22-2017, 10:06 AM

Love that gif!

sourburst · 11-22-2017, 10:07 AM

Thought it was fitting for our beloved Faramir discussion.

**Meliana** · 11-22-2017, 10:10 AM

I was so upset he was cut out of the theatrical version, with Eowyn.

**crash landing** · 11-22-2017, 10:12 AM

One last comment than I'm leaving it alone

not argumentive but again trying to explain where I was coming from

just a little organizatal suggestion|tip that could help the guide on spacing

Wasn't suggesting 3 threads but instead of all the characters grouped all together - if there are characters that were primilarly in The Hobbit than maybe a 2nd section to put them in. So that its separated a little bit - not all mushed together as you've got it - a little more spaced out plus show which characters are main to Hobbit

I understand characters cross over but maybe a little space between the film franchises
