And what with the recent discus...Yes, I do have it! And what with the recent discussion about *tidiness* I was laughing a little about my stories when you mentioned them. :-) The last one touches on that aspect...but I was definitely just trying to talk about the *big picture* of what a woman should be, not specific rules. We believe in cleanliness at our house, but we're not fanatics about it. ;-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-84882173117285718672014-03-20T12:50:34.307-04:002014-03-20T12:50:34.307-04:00Cool beans.

Yay! That will be totally cool. You c...DO IT!!!! Yay! That will be totally cool. You can mention later stuff, absolutely -- I'm going with the assumption that people reading these posts are familiar with the whole story, either from the books or movies, but I do put a spoilage warning at the beginning of character posts just in case, and that way you can discuss character arcs as a whole.<br /><br />If you want to see the previous character posts, <a href="http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2013/11/aragorn-guest-post-by-birdie.html" rel="nofollow">go here</a> for Birdie's post about Aragorn and <a href="http://theedgeoftheprecipice.blogspot.com/2013/11/boromir.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> for my post about Boromir. <br /><br />I tend to try to post them close to the first appearance of a character, so I think I'd rather have it sooner rather than later.<br /><br />Let me know when you've got something done, and I'll give you my email address. And if you have pictures you'd like included, you can send those too -- otherwise, I do have 5 or 6 good screencaps of Faramir I can use too.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-12814985259610370182014-03-20T08:02:33.610-04:002014-03-20T08:02:33.610-04:00Hahahahahaha! Whereas I was feasting eagerly on a...Hahahahahaha! Whereas I was feasting eagerly on all this dialog and lovely character exploration and dreading going back to all that description-heavy wandering.<br /><br />This was the first time I caught the Faramir vs. Boromir about Lothlorien thing. And it's totally because I mentioned it in a blog post. <br /><br />Is it later in the book or the movie (or both) where Denethor accuses Gandalf of turning Faramir into his apprentice or something? There's something about that somewhere... can I vague that up for you a little?

I'll have to see if it would work out...and I feel like I'd really be jumping in, but it would be so thrilling! Would there be a deadline for it...or would it work out any time in the next month or so? Would I be able to mention later events/developments? Or maybe I could do it during ROTK (after those events)?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587150608901957801.post-35490128232229606102014-03-18T19:01:04.865-04:002014-03-18T19:01:04.865-04:00Okay, you will laugh and laugh... cuz this chapter...Okay, you will laugh and laugh... cuz this chapter bored me so badly it took three sessions for me to get through it, and I was ready to just start skimming, just to get past it. Definitely my least favorite so far. They just won't shut up in this chapter! ROFL! Get me back to hiking on the dreary road! :-D<br /><br />But I do love the stuff you point out, particularly the comparison of lines about Faramir and Boromir and the stories. I dig that and would not have caught that myself.<br /><br />And I love when Sam speaks up at the end about the Elves, in particular how he describe Galadriel to Faramir. I love that whole section, and Sam's passion when he speaks. And I love when he says Frodo has an Elvish air, and Faramir has a wizardish air. It's such an interesting thing to say, but it fits, particularly with the way Faramir refuses the ring, as Gandalf does.<br /><br />DKorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819702518388146971noreply@blogger.com
