I just posted there and i didnt see anything, im going back for a proper look after this post, and i'll prolly post some angry things :D

<3

Thanks Nevyn for the info, i think i could incorporate something like that into an RPG, IF i decide i will do it.

Yeah, thanks Neyvn, I'm a little bit clearer now on what this would involve.

Also, would you guys have a problem visiting another site to do this, IF i do, actually do it?

It would probably be easier/better on another site. Are there sites made for this where you just choose a template or something?

Anyway, Part 2 of my story should be ready tomorrow, if not, definitely Wednesday.

Love the poem buddy, very leet indeed. You should do more.

No, the RPG Club has forums, i would ask them if i decide to actually do it anytime soon. All you guys would be helping me make it though, you just wouldnt know the storyline.

Anyway, Part 2 of my story should be ready tomorrow, if not, definitely Wednesday.

Sweet baby jesus is happy as a black man getting crack.

Hello boys, I'm back:) The next project will be "The Making off'' The LOTR SE series. And concerning the LOTR page... is it there yet or shall I make a topic named: LOTR page ... or something like that. Maybe we will achieve what we are trying to achieve then:D

I don't think there is one, but I wouldn't bother to be honest. Tom has said that we need a page for it and I daresay we will get one. It is just a matter of time. He did say that he would prep one for the next update (Probably)

Thats cool. The LOTR parrodies and flashes should have their own page, just becaues there are so many, and a good lot of them are deserving to have their own page.

That is one of the things James is working on. Getting that button working 'Submit to Collection' as well as getting al lthe appropriate collections in place.

Sorry guys for not being around as much as i'd like to. With exams, and my own club, and a few other threads i have dedicated myself to, it is hard to keep up. I hope to be around more in February when my testing ends.

This may be a stupid question, but has it ever been decided if the The Hobbit will be made into a movie?

Here's a translation page of common Elvish sayings and words, Nevyn.

At 1/26/05 12:27 PM, Ansuperevilgenius wrote: So making a topic is no use?

Pretty much. It'll just provide a platform for wankers to bitch and moan about some other collection they want made, and then you'll get smartarses saying you should've just emailed Tom. And he probably won't see the topic. Besides, Tom has already said there will be a collection, and at the next major update, there probably will be.

What you could do, to speed the process up, is send Tom an email with links to all the good LOTR flashes around. That might make him put a collection up quicker.

Yup, Peter Jackson wants to make the Hobbit with Ian Holmes and Ian McKellen (Bilbo and Gandalf from LOTR) but there are problems. One movie studio has the rights to make a movie about the Hobbit, another studio has the distribution rights. You'd need both rights to make a Hobbit movie, and since neither wants to give up their slice, they'll have to agree to co-operate or there won't ever be a Hobbit movie ;_;

-------------------------------

And, I hope to have the second part of my story finished tonight.

It has to be done with those three people or not at all. Ian Holm and Ian McKellen would make the hobbit visually, as we already know them from the LotR trilogy, whereas Jackson was such a good director (and quite insane, also) It's about time we see actors from Britain and Ireland getting main roles in films, instead of just being cast as the bad guy or a supporting role.

Also, they would need howard shore to compose the music, or it wouldn't fit in with the lord of the rings.

I just hope Jackson does not leave out parts of the Hobbit if he made it. There were many little things in the movies that bothered me. Narsil being reforged in the Return of the King, when in the Book Elrond's sons reforged it in the Fellowship, at RIven dell. They also left out when the white tree of Gondor finally died and Aragorn found the young sappling (though they still showed the sapling in the film) and of course, Tom Bombadil and the Old Forest, which was to "Fairy-Tale"ish.

By the way, may I join this club, Ive been deciding for quite a long time whether or not I should, and I think I should. I know quite a bit about Tolkien and his works, and a wee bit of Elvish, nothing substantial though.

Indeed. If there ever was a cd that I could only listen to for the rest of my life it would be a LOTR cd. I've worn my Two Towers down to nothing, and I must MUST buy a new one.

Here's the second part of the Last Battle <3

---------------------------------
The Last Battle - Part 2
---------------------------------

The host had now passed through the abandoned city of Osgiliath, and were not 10 miles from Minas Tirith. The sun shone low in the pale sky. The Orc-legions were driven forward by the whips of the Balrogs who strode behind, and terror went ever before them. The host was swarming across the plains of Gondor and closing in on the city. The defenders looked on in silence.

Suddenly, a great black shape was seen to rear up from the host, and vast wings spread out. Ancalagon the Black it was, the greatest of the dragons of the air, who was come back into the world to wreak death and ruin on the world. Upon his back sat Melkor himself, who was hideous to behold. Shadow and smoke were about him always, pierced by red eyes that burned with hate. High and far the Dark Lord was borne, for he was to have no part in the Battle for Middle Earth. His most trusted lieutenant would lead the assault on the Free Peoples.

Indeed, Sauron, whom the Elves called Gorthaur, led the army to the walls of the city, clad in black armour, and wielding an iron mace. The bows of Gondor and the Shire sang, and many orcs fell. The dragons rose into the sky and soared over the city, breathing fire upon it and slaying many men. Towers, drawn by Trolls were brought to the walls and orcs burst forth from them, and breached the city. Gondor's knights fought fiercely, and the axes of the Dwarves clove many an orc. The Hobbits too, gained much valour in their defense of the walls, and much blood was spilled upon the battlements.

The fighting raged on for many hours, and the battlements were choked with the wreck of war. Suddenly horns rent the air, sweeping over the plains and booming from the mountain-sides. The swift horsemen of Rohan were come from the South, for they had marched through the Paths of the Dead, and south of the White Mountains to Gondor. Now the wild horses of Rohan rode over the orcs, and the Rohirrim sang as they slew, for they delighted in war, and bitter was their hatred of the Enemy. But the defence of the city was wavering. The dragons had set the city alight, and were slaying many Men and Hobbits upon the battlements. Even the hardy Dwarves could not withstand them, and many were thrown down or set alight. Great fear then fell upon the defenders, for light ceased in that hour, and there was darkness, and only the stars shone. For Morgoth had not been idle in his absence.

Much evil had been wrought by him in the airs above the World, for he had assailed Arien, guardian of the Sun. He pursued her upon Ancalagon, and though her fire burned him, Melkor's hatred burned the hotter, and he cast her down, and she was lost. For the first time in many ages, Arda fell into darkness, and then only starlight lit the world. Melkor laughed without remorse and now pursued Tilion, steersman of the Moon. But in the dark skies encirling the world, he went not alone.

For upon the hallowed ship Vingilot, Eärendil, son of Tuor, still sailed the airs. Tilion in his turn was assailed, and though he wept for the loss of Arien, he loosed an arrow from his great silver bow which pierced the dragon in the belly. Blood gushed forth, but the dragon prevailed, and Melkor's power was greater, and he let fall his mace, and Tilion too was lost. So passed the last flowers of Telperion and Laurelin, and only the stars now shone. Seeing that his scheme had succeeded, he commanded the dragon to fly back to Minas Tirith, and they went swiftly through the sky like an arrow, and blood dripped from the wound. But, behold! Earendil was come in glory with a Silmaril upon his brow, and it shone brighter than any light ever set in the sky by Varda. The ship came swiftly, as a bolt of lightning through a thundercloud, and the greatest of all beings in Arda and his steed were cast from the sky. Long and far was their descent, and as Ancalagon smote the ground, the Earth trembled and heaved. Melkor followed, and broke the dragon in his fall. The land all about was riven where they fell, and the foul blood of the dragon poured, black and smoking, upon the ground, and marred it.

Sauron strode to the gate, and all was silent. Defender and foe alike halted, as if entranced. The Dark Lord raised his mace and uttered a terrible, piercing cry. He smote the gates of iron, and a great tremble ran through the city. But they did not yield. He once again raised his mace, but did not strike the gate again. For suddenly, the gates burst open, and the Ents came forth, stamping ruin all before them and slaying many enemies, for the fury of battle had taken them, and great was their resistance to the Dark Lord's power. All fled before them, and Sauron was thrown down, but the Balrogs came to his aid, and only their whips could restrain the furious Ents. Treebeard was caught, and though he thrashed about, he could not break free. Sauron arose and laughed as he strode towards the captured Ent. But he percieved not the full power of his foe. As his mace came down, Fangorn spoke words of power in some long forgotten tongue and splendour was revealed in him, and his eyes shone with the light of the Valar. The mace fell and clove the head, but burning white fire and light sprang up, and his body fell. So passed Fangorn, eldest of all living things in Middle-Earth. Sauron fell back blinded, and his black body was blasted apart, and his bitter mace fell to the ground. He was now but a black shadow that rose into the sky, only to be scattered by a cold wind out of the West.

The Balrogs, in their cruelty, hewed the body of Fangorn as it lay, but the Ents rushed to their fallen leader, and their wrath was terrible to behold. They seized the Balrogs and threw them down, for they were fey, and now knew no fear. Taking the maces of the Valaraukar, they beat the demons into the dust, and they were utterly ruined. Great indeed were the deeds of the Ents at the gate, and the orcs were dismayed. The dragons departed from the battle and swept West through the sky in a storm of wings, for they had a summons to heed.

*continued from above*

Melkor emerged from the wreck unharmed, for the dragon had broken his fall. He summoned his dragons and they came to him with great speed. The greatest and largest of them bore Melkor back to the battle, and told him of Sauron's fall, and the ruin of the Balrogs. Wrath and fear both rose up inside him, but he seized control, for his greed, that had festered and grown for thousands of years, had not yet been contented, and the rage of Melkor was hideous to see. Deadly fear fell upon even the Ents, but the orcs fought ever more fiercely in the presence of their Lord. Fire issued from the dragons, and engulfed the Ents in flame, and they perished. The Rohirrim were overcome also, and they were lost. Melkor now turned towards the city. The orcs ran rampant through the streets of Minas Tirith, hewing and burning all before them. The defenders were shown no mercy, and Melkor slew many of them with his mace. Hobbits, Men, Dwarves and Ents, all lay slain on the walls, and on the battlefield, and the ground was awash with blood. The Free Peoples of Middle-Earth had been utterly defeated. In that hour of sorrow and despair, the armies of Melkor rejoiced and hailed him King of the World.

But Melkor now turned his gaze West across the Sea to Valinor, where the Valar dwelt. As the Valacirca blazed brightly in the sky above, greed and lust for power filled his thought, and consumed him. Melkor's plan for dominion over the world was now closer to completion. The Valar made ready for war. The Last Battle, and the World's Ending, were nigh...

wow. for one minute, i really thought u copied that from a Tolkien book. really. u use his same style, and u builded the story up really good!
and u have shown your wisdom, because you used my fav. characters in your story!! treebeard!! (why u had to dieeeee??!!)
and Ancalagon The Black (love that name).
now for the bad points of my review.
u have made some mistakes. the first is that Osgiliath was rebuild, and people lived in it after Aragorn was king. the second mistake (its a small one actually) is that treebeard shouldnt die. Galadriel says that thay will meet again, in the woods of (dunno the name). u also need to go more in-dept of some characters ok. like the leader of the defenders or someting.
and please tell me the line under your story doesnt mean its the end!

An interesting, if somewhat short method of describing a pitched battle between two armies of tens of thousands of men. Personally, I would have liked a little more detail, because it sounds a little harsh to kill off the Rohirrim in less than a sentence, for example.

I shall have to take notes for my own work because there will be massive scale battles in mine... eventually.

That depends on what it's worth, Nevyn. Make me an offer I just can't refuse.
