Happy 20th anniversary, Lord of the Rings. Stories, anyone? · 9:10pm Dec 19th, 2021
Sweet Celestia I'm old.
What are your favourite LotR crossover fics here on fimfiction?
I still remember 'The White Rider', an amazingly written fic that sadly was never finished.
Anyway. :b
no
I refuse to accept it
Those movies just came out recently, they are modern marvels of filmmaking and storytelling released within the last ten years. :|
...Twenty years? Uh.
...[checks]
Well. Well, yep, what do you know. Twenty years.
...
For some reason, I'm flashing back to that time I was visiting a museum with my dad, and he commented to someone there that we'd previously visited in... some year I'm forgetting now. And a child nearby excitedly piped up that they'd been born in that year.
Yeeeep.
(And it seems like "Wait, that's how old now?" moments are happening more and more frequently for me nowadays, too. Funny how that works. :D)
(I'm not thinking of any LoTR/MLP crossover fics at the moment, though, sorry.)
I was on travel when I saw the first movie. Not much else to do than hang out in the hotel, so instead I went to the nearby mall in Melbourne, Florida and plopped my butt in a seat. Couldn't think about anything productive for the rest of that day! Absolutely sparked my imagination.
Spent the rest of my free time that trip plowing through the trilogy. Had no trouble with The Hobbit. The Silmarillion required an act of pure will to get through the parts that were drier than toast.

Yeah, the Silmarillion is something else :b
I never finished the LotR books to be honest. Tolkien's style bored me to death back then, no matter how epic the story.
Heh. Maybe I should give them a try again.

I completely agree with everything you said.
As a small follow up to top that:
Two days ago I watched Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark with my 9-year old. He absolutely loved it. As any normal 9-year old would :b
Then I checked when it was released.
1981
