1. So, you have been chosen by the wizards to answer their own particular brand of questions this month. Does this make you proud? Why do you think the wizards have chosen you?
Proud, yes, because I love this site, but also a bit shy…
2. Let’s start with something easy. A simple choice. Which do you prefer and why?
– Middle-earth or our world?
To live in, our world, to dream about living in, ME.
– A steward’s son or a son as steward?
Steward’s son, definitely!
– Arwen as hope or Arwen as reward?
Hope.
– The addition of chocolate into Middle-earth or the addition of lembas into our world?
It has to be lembas into our world… although would that ruin it?
– Which pairing do you prefer: Arwen/Aragorn; Éowyn/Aragorn; Éowyn/Arwen, Aragorn/Boromir or Boromir/Figwit?
I’m going to be boring and predictable, I’m afraid – Arwen and Aragorn every time.
3. You wake up with a gentle wind on your face and birds singing in the trees. The sun is rising over a nearby wood. Where are you?
Ithilien. Probably my favourite place in Middle-earth.
4. You wake up with something seemingly like a tornado whirling around you. No birds are singing, in trees or otherwise. The sun is in the sky, but often hidden by flying debris, trees, cows etc. Where are you?
I think I’ve been caught up in The Wizard of Oz…
5. Which would you rather do and why? File Gríma’s toenails, brush Lurtz’s teeth or wash Gollum’s loincloth?
Wash Gollum’s loincloth, I guess – no direct contact!
6. How well do you think you would do if you were dropped suddenly into Minas Tirith? Or Edoras? Or Barad-dûr?
I think I’d be okay in Minas Tirith. Edoras, not so good, since I can’t ride. Barad-dûr… I dread to think.
7. Do Siamese cats truly come from Mordor?
Nope. Cats in general are far too cute for that. Siamese cats are only truly evil in “The Lady & The Tramp”.
8. What 5 things would you take to Middle-earth with you and why?
Things… okay… an Elvish dictionary, so that I could attempt to talk to Elves; some form of long-lasting food, just in case; then a torch with spare batteries, a sleeping bag, and some clean clothes, for obvious reasons – who knows where I’d end up?
9. Which is your favourite season, and where in Middle-earth would you like to spend it?
Spring or autumn in Ithilien, please!
10. Give us 5 words that explain your love of Tolkien and his works.
Middle-earth-just-astounds-me.
11. Which characters would you be in the following books: Winnie the Pooh, Lost, Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter?
Winnie the Pooh: Tigger’s my favourite, but if I’m honest I’m more like Piglet.
Lost: No idea.
Chronicles of Narnia: Polly from Magician’s Nephew, I think. Or possibly the cabby’s wife!
Harry Potter: Hermione – we share certain mannerisms and a liking of rules.
12. And on to our favourite website … Which forums have you never posted in on CoE? Which forum do you post in most?
I’ve never posted in the RPG forums or in the Elvish forums, because I have no experience of either. I post most in Creations and Ulmo I guess.
13. Which completely unnecessary section does CoE really need?
There’s a question… um… I can’t think of anything! It’s too good!
14. And that’s that! Thank you for your time and your thoughts! One further question – do you have anything to ask the Wizards?
Just this: what would you say is the RIGHT answer to question 4?!
