How did you find CoE?
I belonged to Rivka’s Drizzt Do’ Urden site Lavender Eyes and she told me about it. I was hooked from the start.
What are your duties here at CoE?
I mod the Prancing Pony Forum and generally try to be of use as much as I can.
What are your favourite areas of the site?
Hmm…Well, I used to RP, but when we got so big that became problematic. I am also a member of Ulmo’s Realm though I’m not as active as I used to be. The galleries, the language section…Eee…That’s a tough one because so many people put so much hard work into this place it’s truly an awesome resource all the way around.
How often do you visit CoE?
At least once a day, sometimes more. Usually to mod, but also to check on other things as well.
How many times have you read the books?
Several times. Twice in my younger years, then at least once or twice a year since then. After the movies, I reread them again with a new eye.
Who is your favourite LOTR character?
Oh, I must say Elrond. Although he plays only a small part in the books, he is an important catalyst. I fell in love with him in The Hobbit and was so glad to see him again in LotR. Made me go get the Silmarillion and the Histories of Middle-earth (which I am still collecting, bit by bit). Next to him I would have to say Aragorn. Truly a noble, tortured soul, trying to do the right thing.
Do you have a favourite scene from the trilogy?
Oh my…Boy, these are tough questions! LOL…Movie? The prologue with Elrond as a warrior and clash of the armies of lightness and dark (which didn’t occur in the LotR books, but in the Silmarillion). Books? I would have to say the Paths of the Dead. I loved the way that Elrohir and Elladan felt the chill of the Dead as did Gimli, yet Legolas did not.
What character left out of the films do you miss most?
How about characters, plural? I missed the twins. Yeah, I know they were only mentioned a couple of times, but they did play a fairly important part. Of course, there’s also Glorfindel. Ah well…I still think PJ did an awesome job. If he covered everything in the books he would have had to make nine films at least. LOL…
Do you know any Sindarin or Quenya?
Tiny little bit. Enough to get me in trouble. LOL…No, seriously. Only enough to pitch around in fanfic. I wish I could speak it or at least say enough to be understood. They are beautiful languages that roll off the tongue, much like Gaelic. If I had the time, I’d be seriously studying them.
What did you enjoy most about the ROTK EE?
Heh…Haven’t got it yet, but I’ll let you know once I glue my face to the screen. LOL. Planning on getting it in the morning at Wal-Mart after taking my son to school.
