SAURON
Frodo Baggins of the Shire, get your sorry ass in here! Yeah, you, you shrimpy little Hobbit! You have been PITTED! And don’t pretend you don’t know why! I WANT MY RING!!! I’ve giving you ONE chance to turn it over, or your ass is grass!
FRODO
Lalalalalalalalala! Can’t hear a thing. Nope, nope nope.

Frodo Baggins, as moderator of this forum, I am warning you that saying or implying that someone is on your Ignore List is a direct violation of the rules! Cease and desist immediately!
ARAGORN
TB, how did YOU get to be a moderator?
TOM BOMBADIL
It was easy. Since Peter Jackson did not see fit to include me in his film version of LOTR, what else was left for me to do? Hang around the movie set and annoy everyone? So wa-lah, here I am.
SAURON
Frodo, are you listening to me??!!
FRODO
Bite me, o’ Dark Lord.
ARAGORN
Sauron, your minions will have to get past my sword if you want to hurt Frodo.
If Jim Henson made Lord of the Rings, there would be this little puppet who had to take a little piece of something back where it came from, and he would be all alone except for another little puppet, and there would be this old hairy thing who seems gruff, but knows everything and helps him out, and there would be these nine pointy nasty things–wait a minute, isn’t that The Dark Crystal?

Again, I come to this thread to call attention to work that is in no way mine: Lord of the Rings, the Easter Bunny’s interpertation: http://www.lordofthepeeps.com
I’ll have to try later to view that page. Just now when I clicked on it I got this:
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.
Is anyone else having this message displayed when clicking on that link?
Now you have me curious. I’d love to see the Easter Bunny’s interpretation.
I probably shouldn’t feel guilty about posting to this thing again without reading all the other posts, should I? Anyway, here’s an excerpt from Lord of the Rings as written by Shel Silverstein.
I’d lived next door to Gandalf for a few months when he sent his butler to invite me over for tea, apprantly he was having a private party with some dwarves
‘ah hello old sport’ said Gandalf ‘glad you could make it the party’
‘no thankyou, mr Gandalf’
‘listen old sport, you dont make much money do you?’
‘not really’ - this made him more confident
‘well i run a business on the side, ransacking dragon treasure, how would you like to take a piece?’
Gandalf hadn’t seen Daisy for many years, since he went off to fight in ther great war in the east, and had now returned, but she had married Saruman. Saruman was the son of landed gentry, whereas Gandalf was merely a thief, a bootlegger, a newly rich.
“The Member of the Lord of the Rings” by Carson McCullers:
“Gollum then led Frodo and Sam to the outskirts of the land of Mordor. Then he disappeared into the moonlit night; the white, Mordor moon. Already Sam was asleep. Frodo lay in the dark and listened to him breathe. Then he carefully put his hand on Sam’s stomach and moved closer. He smelled like a sour little leaf of the athelas plant. Frodo leaned down and licked him behind the ear.”
Well, some may see it as blasphemy. But you’ve just shown that you have a flair for writing good quality slash! Would you consider submitting it to a LOTR slash site for archiving? You could either leave it as is, a nice short piece, or expand on it and make it a whole story.
Really, it’s quite good. I’ve read LOTS of LOTR slash, ranging from poor to okay to very well written.
If you’re interested, I can give you the link to a site that archives LOTR slash.
[slight hijack] Yes, well-written slash can be a treat, I find. Have you read any good Clark/Lex slash you can recommend, Jeanster? I’ve seen lots of pairings of LOTR slash. Aragorn/Legolas seems to be the most popular. [/slight hijack]
I’m not familiar with the writings of Carson McCullers, but I did like what you wrote, HazyBaby33.
