Nice, I think it's pretty cool that a non-professional and non-profit forum is able to come out on top of the first pages of search results!
I think I found the forum just the same way! Arwen has always been one of my favorite characters in the movies because 1) she's Elven and 2) she is a female character and there aren't many female Elven characters in the movies so I may have been looking up more info about her when i found the forum. I admit it's very fangirlish and they did elaborate a lot more on movie-Arwen compared to Tolkien's original Arwen but fact is that Liv is too beautiful so ever since I joined here I've had at least one Arwen-banner/avatar. And no it never get's old even though I've grown to care a lot for most of the characters.

I want to re-read LotR over the summer by the way and I'm thinking of starting/joining a forum-based reading group. I think that would add new ideas to the discussions.

Its now the second hit that comes up. After the wiki entry for her character ofcourse that is pretty cool.
Arwen is an amazing character. Liv portrayed her well and yes i agree- she is stunning.

Thats a great idea. id be up for that, whenever you feel like starting feel free to send me a pm. Im sure people would be interested.

by the way just curious, did u see the movies first or read the books?

Welcome to our forum Elessar!

I hope you can enjoy being around here, have friends and have some fun.

Great, at least we're two people in the book club. I guess that's enough to call it a club! Actually, I used to have a book club with my friend too - and we were only the two of us.

Well, I started out trying to read The Hobbit because I read a lot of fantasy at that time but I admit I couldn't get through it.. I just couldn't get into the plot. But then I saw FotR and I was hooked and gulped down the trilogy and found this awesome forum and the missing ingredient in my life, and from that day I had fairies sprinkling rose petals before my feet and a jazz band to accompany my journey into the world! And I lived happily ever after... The End.

I love the Sil too, by the way, but the funny thing is that I never got into The Hobbit. I remember reading a comic book version of The Hobbit long time ago so I know the plot. The illustrations were stunning but I have never been able to get into the plot... I'm excited for The Hobbit movie though!

Thanks alot Nimriel MîrLomë. I like your name, very elven Im having much fun already and have met some great people, hope to see you around the forums



Yea, more than 1 person even if its just two is a club

i started by reading the hobbit too. I was young and the illustrations attracted me enough to read it. I loved how Tolkien presented the characters. I then heard that LotR movies were out so i dubbed them a must-see when i heard that theyre after events of the hobbit. After seeing the FotR, i was hooked. Got the books within a week after seeing the movie and loved them all.
Theres a comic book version? i never knew that.

The hobbit movie is going to be amazing im sure. Thank god that PJ is directing

You should take a look at the comic book/graphic novel. It's beautiful. I tried to look it up but the cover page isn't the same as in the edition I read and I wasn't able to browse the book, but I think it's the same. If you want the info clicky
I read the book with this cover: http://www.williamdam.dk/popup_image.php?pID=1173984

And I'm so excited for the movie - and with PJ directing I'm sure it'll be grand!!

To save any confusion, Ive changed my name from Elessar to Legolas as i didn't see anyone with the name on the member list. (Though if there is by all means let me know as there was a Legolas600 but as i dont have any numbers hope its ok)

_________________

I'm a bit surprised that the name hasn't already been taken. But nope, nobody here goes by the name of Legolas, so it's all yours!

_________________

So was I. I didnt put it as my name originally because i thought it would have been taken ages ago. Got lucky
