I like Tolkien, have leaf by niggle, lord of the rings and the hobbit.

Check out www.theonering.net for details of the new 3 film trilogy being filmed in new zealand. Ian mckellen as gandalf, ian holm and bilbo, elijah wood as frodo etc.

Hi, big al! Nice to meet you!

Tolkien, yeah, I just finished re-reading the whole tale about the Ring, because I discovered I had forgotten most details since I last read it.

May the be with you, and may you always have your towel with you

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

Hi Zed!

Yeah, I had a great time at the Falun Folk music Festival. An exiting blend of music from all over the world...

Ahh, I unnerstand now. A totally charming form of movement, as befits one of such etheral beauty.

Sounds like a fun festival! Anybody well known play? Any band stand out?

Hi Zed!

Well known? I don't know, this festival is usually catching up trends BEFORE they become trends - but Eric Gadd is pretty well known, at least in Sweden, that is...

Outstanding band? Yep, the Yat-Kha with their mix of Tuvinian "throat-singing" and rock.
Tuvinia? End of Trans Siberian Railway, and a bit further
"Throat-singing"? Described as "with stomach muscles pressing forth a deep bordune tone, and simultaneously creating an overlaying melody by changing the size and shape of your mouth". Sort of singing duet, with yourself... fascinating...

May the be with you

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

Wait just a second! Wasn't Titania the Queen of the Faries? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but you charge should be Cobweb and Mustardseed, not Legolas and the like. (And my humblest apologies if I am indeed wrong.)

*floating in, in her usual vague, elf-like manner*

Greetings, Cenchrea!

Since there is no really good description of what characterizes a fairy in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', and because it's usually a bit difficult to tell the exact difference between a fairy and an elf, definitions sometimes crossing, I preferred Tolkien's definition.

But you're right about no Titania existing in the works of Tolkien, so there's no need to apologise.

And as for personalities, I do feel more inclined towards the people of Lothlorien, but I didn't want to adapt a personality already existing.

So I created my own mix: a little piece of Shakespeare's and a little bit of Tolkien's work, adding a big piece of ME, making 'Titania, queen of elves' a creature unique in herself.

I hope you feel this explanation acceptable.

May the be with you

*drifting off, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

... I can live with that ... do you have pointy ears, by the way?

Hang on, got to look in a mirror....nope, they look just like human, only a bit smaller...

*Galloping on a black horse threw the upcoming mist, a man dressed in black. Astonished by the elven queen's beauty he bupms into a tree.*

*Using his sword and longbow to get himself up ,he falls to the ground again when he looks at her the second time.*

Goodday, bowing as low as my spine let's me.

Just wanting to say hi, my name's Arutha and I was drawn to your site and forum only by reading your name.

*floating in, in her usual vague, elf-like manner*

Greetings, Arutha! I am honoured by your visit.

*amused and flattered*

I'm a big fan of Tolkien as well, I've even got the books about the books. Anyway did you ever read something from Feist, I like his writing as well.

Feist? No, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that writer. Are those books similar to Tolkien's?

no, but there both fiction and that's where I got the name Arutha from. He has written some series and prob. his most famous was the one that started of with the book called Magicians.

There writing style isn't exactly the same, but it has some similiar things. But comp. different is the way they see the world in perspective to the rest of the galaxy.

Do you have his full name? I could try and find one of his books at a library...

Sure I just looked it up.
It's RAYMOND E. FEIST Hope you'll find the books,caus I thought they were quit good. Now that we are discussing books, did you ever heard of TED WILLIAMS. He has also written some great books????

Sorry, The last name should be TAD WILLIAMS, his serie called:
MEMORY, SORROW AND THORN is quit famous.
