RandomElvenWench: why do people keep bitching about the oscars?
RandomElvenWench: isn't it REALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS they're waiting till RotK comes out, as it's unfair to give the main oscars out to the same people three years in a row?

*~Lord of the Rings~**~Rohan~*Eomer Theoden needed!!!! - created by the_lady_eowyn151 at 3/2/2003 11:00am

Eowyn lay in her bed, thinking about her uncle. Some tears ran down her cheeks. She wanted to help him, yet she had no way of helping......

Back | NeoChat Home | Refresh | Add Message | Chat Mode | QuickChat

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:01am :
An Elven girl hid in a tree, just outside of Eowyn's room. She was playing a smooth Elvish song on her wooden flute. She was trying to remember her past again.

pandiekandee @ 11:03am :
Grima had been quite unsettled that day, thinking about Eowyn as always he did. The thought of her fair face brought to him both contention and pain, and he found himself filled with longing to see her again. And it was in her quarters he found her. "My lady...I heard thy tears outside...what brings such pain to such a beautiful face? - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:05am :
Eowyn looked at him then sat up. She said nothing and quickly wiped away her tears

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:05am :
She saw Grima enter. "Halaroo. There is a snake I see. He looks of those we have seen on our rides through the plains." She whispers to a black figure running on the plains. She put her flute back to her mouth and continued to play the Elvish Tune.

pandiekandee @ 11:07am :
Grima's face fell. "Oh, sweet lady, do not be so hasty to wipe them away," he said, moving forward in a concerned manner, "For like stars they are, and though pain may provoke them, they shine like your very eyes..." - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:08am :
Eowyn looked up at him*Why do you come to me now? Have you been listening to me?

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:09am :
She continued to play, but listened to Grima. "He plays with her heart, for she will never love such a snake." She whispered to the running figure.

pandiekandee @ 11:10am :
Grima could not hear the soft whispers of the elf outside the window, for he was too caught up in Eowyn's eyes. "I heard nothing but the soft sound of an angel in woe," said Grima, taking a seat next to her. "I come to you because I would not see you in anguish without making effort to cheer you. Tell me, my pheonix, why do you cry?" - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:11am :
She looked to the floor and said nothing. She did not want to talk to Grima for she knew it was he who caused her uncle his troubles.

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:12am :
She pulled out a small stone, shaped like a horse, and clutched it in her hands. "I miss you Halaroo." She whispered. The running figure nickered to her, comforting her.

pandiekandee @ 11:14am :
"Has your grief stolen away your voice, Eowyn?" Grima asked, and he lay a hand upon hers, "Fear not to speak to me, I wish you no ill. Indeed, quite the opposite. I could wish nothing less but good fare upon such beauty..." - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:15am :
Eowyn looked at his hand on hers then she stood up and backed away*I do not wish to speak to you! Just leave me alone...

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:16am :
She smiled at Eowyn's reply. "I told you Halaroo. He is a snake, and she can see it. A sweet voice cannot hid a cruel deed." She whispered to the running figure.

pandiekandee @ 11:16am :
Grima stood as well, and looked imploringly upon her. "Sweet creature, my heart bleeds with your harsh words. I know not why you torment me so, I know only that I wish to be of comfort to you in this time of need. Why do you flee from me?" - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:18am :
She went to lean against the tree, but missed and fell to the ground. Not a noise came from her, save the dull thud of her landing.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:18am :
I flee because I know a snake when it approches me...I can see through your words. You caused my uncle to be like he is now, and you drove my brother away...

pandiekandee @ 11:21am :
Grima started again, approaching her like a predator in search of the perfect meal. "My lady, I have done no such things, I-" he heard a thud outside the window and twitched. It could be an enemy. It could be Eomer returning. He snuck to the window and peered out, but the angle was so that he could see nothing. Assuming that it was naught more than a branch, ((cont)) - katu le hobbitish

pandiekandee @ 11:21am :
he resumed his pursuing of Eowyn. "Do not flee, for I am not a snake but a man...A man very much in love..." - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:22am :
Eowyn watched im, always backing away as he came forward.*In love? You will not get my love....

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:23am :
She saw him look out and tried to stand, but fell to the ground again. "I am sure to be found. I am but an injured foal in the den of the Wargs." She whispered.

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:25am :
"It is not the lady I fear, but the snake. He stalks like a Warg ready to kill. The lady may get away, but I shall not." She whispered to the figure. He screamed to her. "Do not come. I shall endanger you." She cried to it.

pandiekandee @ 11:29am :
"If your love is unavailable, then my life is in vain. For I was born in love with thee, and why should fate stand in between. If my purpose is to love a woman who loves me not, then I am but a gangrel, begging you for what I need to live. Do not deny my your love, for it would slay me," he said, and lunged forward, a look of begging on his face, and took hold of her arm. "Deny me no longer, Eowyn. Deny me not!" And with that, he kissed her. - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:31am :
(AHHHH THE HORROR!!! :O)

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:32am :
Eowyn pushed him away then backed away even more*You ask for me not to deny you, yet you do these things that fill everyone with anger..for that I shall make sure my uncle makes you leave.....

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:33am :
She heard the noise, and hoped that this would be her chance to escape. She pushed herself up, but could not stand. She fell, and groaned with pain.

pandiekandee @ 11:34am :
((horror? I think he's cute.)) "I do nothing, lady Eowyn, why do you accuse me so? I have nothing but love for your family, and do naught but serve them loyally. You would not send me away," he said, and his voice was cracked with tears as he approached, "You would not deny me the only family I have ever known?" - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:36am :
"Halaroo. I am in pain. I have had my chance to escape, but I am wounded. I fear that you will not be able to rescue me this time." She cried, tears were filling her eyes as she thought of what would happen to her.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:37am :
Eowyn took and small step back once again. She still stood on her guard in case he was to try something like that again. She looked at him but said nothing. She wanted him to leave yet his words made her slightly change her mind

pandiekandee @ 11:40am :
"Eowyn, fair sister-daughter of Theoden, what hardens your heart to me? What sharpens your words so that they slice me like knives?" he said, and did not stop walking towards her, and she was getting closer and closer to the wall and would not be able to back away much farther. "I was made for to love you, and to care for your family the best I could. Why are you blinded to this?" - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:43am :
Eowyn backed into the wall and could go no further. She looked at Grima and tried to get away but there was no way.*My family does not need your love..we were better off without you here...

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:47am :
She heard Eowyn's shouts. "I fear not for me any more, but for the lady." She backed toward the tree and stood up, leaning against it. She put her fingers to her mouth, and blew a shrill whistle, for she did not care of what happened to her now.

pandiekandee @ 11:47am :
Grima took Eowyn's arms in his hands gently but firmly. "But mayhap I need the love of your family. I have devoted my life to making sure your father was always best-advised. I watched you as a child, on occasion, my Eowyn, and even in your tender years your sad beauty pained me, as it pains me still. To know that within your cold and stern heart there is no place for me to dwell crushes me." - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:48am :
Her horse heard the whistle, and reared, banging his front hooves against the door. His shrill screams filled the air. "Halaroo. We must save her, for the snake will strike." She cried.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:50am :
What do you want from me, Grima? You have known me for many years of my life yet only now you torment me everyday...

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:52am :
She tried to think of ways to distract Grima, but none came to her mind. "I fear Halaroo, that the snake will not turn from his purpose." She cried, but then she remembered how he had rushed to the window at her falling out of the tree.

pandiekandee @ 11:54am :
Grima sighed. "What do I want? I want only for you to say that you love me...that you feel for me the same devotion I feel for you. I cannot go a day without seeing you, without hearing your voice...I have indeed known you for many years, but I have tried to keep my peace...but as of late the pain has become unbearable. I cannot live without your love, Eowyn. I cannot." - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:54am :
She pulled herself into the tree, then tried to figure out where she would have to fall to get his attention. "If I must fall out of this tree to distract the snake, then I will." She cried out to her horse. It stopped pawing at the door, and became altogether silent. She felt her body go limp as she fell.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 11:56am :
Eowyn looked at him*Then you cannot live, for I shall never love you the way you love me*She tried to break free from his grip

pandiekandee @ 11:56am :
((good distraction. after eowyn posts, i'll reply to that. ^__^)) - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 11:57am :
(I know. Girl scouts taught me so much. 'Fall out of trees for attention') She landed again with a dull thud, right in view of the window, but this time she cried out with pain.

pandiekandee @ 12:00pm :
Grima felt his heart break at Eowyn's words, and a tear fell from his eye, and his grip tightened as she struggled. He moved forward to kiss her again, whether she liked it or not, when he heard the same thud outside. He hissed and let Eowyn's arms free as he rushed to see what it was. It was an Elf, lying on the ground. He immediately rushed back inside, out of Eowyn's room, to gather the guards. - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:01pm :
Eowyn backed away from him then watched as he ran out. She went to the window and saw the Elf. She ran outside and headed towards her to help her

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:02pm :
"Run my Halaroo. I will be found, for I saw his face again. He left, but to where I do not know. I could not stand for you to get hurt." She cried to her horse, but he did not leave. He screamed to her. "You are a valant leader Halaroo. Do not die for me my friend." She cried.

pandiekandee @ 12:04pm :
Grima and the castle guards rushed out to the fallen form of the elf. "Seize her!" he cried, "Intruder, spy, usurper I name it! Seize the elf!" The guards rushed forwards to do so. - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:05pm :
Eowyn ran over and stopped them*No! Leave her alone! She's hurt, helpless....you cannot just attack her..*Eowyn helped the Elf to her feet

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:06pm :
She backed away in fear. "Halaroo. My friend. The walls are strong. Leave me, for you should not hear my pain." She wept as she backed toward the tree. Her horse screamed again, but this time in anger. He reared again, banging against the doors.

pandiekandee @ 12:08pm :
"Do not hurt the lady!" Grima screamed, as the guards took hold of both of them, "Do not lay a hand upon her fair skin, you blustering idiots. I said the spy, and the Lady Eowyn is no spy of the Enemy." The guards backed away from Eowyn, but seized hold of the elf. There was a neighing outside, and a pounding, but it was far. - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:09pm :
If you are looking to seize a spy of the Enemy then you are to seize Grima, for he is under the order of Saruman..both Eomer and I know it.....

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:10pm :
She struggled to get loose, but she was no match for the guards of Rohan. "Halaroo. You cannot break down the doors. You should not die in bravery. I do not want you to hear my pain." She screamed to the horse, but it did not go away. Her hand clutched around the small horse shaped stone.

pandiekandee @ 12:11pm :
The guards heard Eowyn's words and true did they seem, but Grima held them, too, under his spell, and they feared him greatly. "I am no spy," Grima said to Eowyn, "And now, let us take this stranger into the Hall and see what Theoden King has to say." - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:13pm :
Eowyn tried to push the guards away from the Elven girl*Let her go! Shall you listen to the King's advisor, or the King's niece?

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:14pm :
She watched a small bird fly over head. "Jadagen. Tell the Halaroo. Tell them." She cried to it. The bird whistled back, but instead of flying off, it dived at Grima. "Jadagen. You know of the foulest creatures, but this will not help me." She cried to it.

pandiekandee @ 12:16pm :
The guard elbowed Eowyn away, and Grima rushed forth. "I said touch her not!" he cried, and struck the guard. "But stop for a moment...perhaps we can come to an agreement..." He turned to Eowyn. "I do not think the King would spare her, Lady Eowyn. He is paranoid of strangers...but I would let her free now if you promised yourself to me..." - katu le hobbitish

pandiekandee @ 12:17pm :
Grima managed to dodge the bird, and then turned back to Eowyn. "What is your answer?" - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:18pm :
She listened to Grima. "He is a snake. Halaroo knows it. Jadagen knows it. Do not fear for me. The plains and forest will find a way. Halaroo will break down the doors, he will come. Do not vow yourself to this snake." She cried to Eowyn.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:19pm :
Eowyn thought for a moment then looked at the girl. She was helpless and had no other way of being set free*Alright..fine..

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:21pm :
"Do not vow yourself. Halaroo will come. May the king know truth. May the snake have not told him the lies." She cried out. The small bird dived at Grima again, twittering to more birds. "The Jadagen hate snake. They hate you." She screamed at Grima.

pandiekandee @ 12:21pm :
Grima glared at the elf to silence her, and then turned to Eowyn with a smile. "My Eowyn, you will learn to love me," he said, and then faced his guards. "Let the elf go outside the boundaries of Edoras...And see that she is not injured," he added, for Eowyn's sake. - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:22pm :
Eowyn watched the guards with the girl then looked at Grima, knowing what she had just done

pandiekandee @ 12:24pm :
The guards took the elf gently to the edge of town, and then let her go. Grima turned to Eowyn, and took her hand and kissed it. "Do not seem so unhappy, for a happy day is it." - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:24pm :
She struggled against the guards. "The Jadagen hate you. They will find you. Tadgen will help them kill snake, for it kills them." She cried out. All of the sudden a black horse was running toward them. "Halaroo has come. You will never win snake. Halaroo hate snake for the foals die of its bite. The venom has not poisoned your heart lady. Let it not." She screamed.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:25pm :
Tis a happy day for you...*Eowyn looked away

pandiekandee @ 12:27pm :
"It shall be happy for you, as well. I am not so hard to love," Grima said, and then he found he could hear the elf's screaming, and feared it. He took Eowyn by the hand and pulled her into Meduseld, where they could stand behind guards. - katu le hobbitish

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:27pm :
She watched the guards. "He will not win." She mounted her horse and rode back to the gates. Her horse reared and banged against the gate. He screamed a cry of war. A herd of horses came from the plains. "The Halaroo have come. They are vast. Matanik will come, followed by the Tadgen and Jadagen." She cried.

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:30pm :
Eowyn looked back at the gate of Edoras, still hearing the Elf then once they entered the guards shut the doors of the Golden Hall. She looked back at Grima, then to Theoden

lotr_hazel_rah @ 12:32pm :
Small birds began to fly over the gates. "The Jadagen are coming. They will get you snake. We will get you, for you have called the plains and forest upon you." Her horse reared again, pawing at the door.

pandiekandee @ 12:34pm :
Theoden looked up as Grima entered, but said nothing. "Get in front of the doors, bar them! Let no one in! Board the windows! Make haste!" Grima screamed at the indoor guards, who, surprised, did so. Grima then dragged Eowyn to his chambers, which were dark and had no windows. He barred the door and let Eowyn free. "Fear not, no harm should come to you here," he said. (cont) - katu le hobbitish

the_lady_eowyn151 @ 12:35pm :
No harm? Yet I still know you are some harm to me, Grima...

pandiekandee @ 12:35pm :
Meanwhile, villagers were rushing inside at the sound of the great noise. It seemed a siege was upon Edoras, and the city's gates were flimsy and would not stand up to more than a single horse. - katu le hobbitish

pandiekandee @ 12:36pm :
"No, my lady, never harm to you," said Grima, and he touched her face lightly, "Never a harm would come to you, if I could help it." - katu le hobbitish

hazel_rah @ 12:38pm :
Two more horses came beside her and reared. The gates began to fall under them. "The Halaroo have come. They come with the Jadagen and Tadgen. The Matanik follow soon." She cried out. "The snake is what they come for, the lady is know even to the Museh."

Do you read any fanfiction? I've noticed your somewhat-professed interest in anime, and fanfiction is a pretty prevalent subset of anime fandom, and fiction = writing, so it kind of all connects upon itself, leading back to you. If so, what are some of your favorites?

Also, do you think writing fanfiction is useful for honing writing skills(as your characters are already established and you're given somewhat rigid specifications), or not useful(because of the previous parenthetical aside, and because that gives you less room to be truly creative)?

Er, no, I don't read fanfiction.

I think that all writing is useful for honing writing skills. I think you get better as a writer by writing, and whether that means that you're writing a singularly deep and moving novel about the pain or pleasure of modern existence or you're writing Smeagol-Gollum slash you're still putting one damn word after another and learning as a writer.

(I just made that up. I imagine it would go something like: "Oh, the preciouss, we takes it our handssses and we rubs it and touchess it, gollum....no, Smeagol musst not touch the preciousss, the master said only he can touch the precioussss.... bad masster, he doess not know the precious like we does, no, gollum, and we wants it, we wants it hard in our handses, yesss..." etc etc)

There have been a few remarkable talents who came out of fan fiction or who did amazing things with fan fiction -- I remember talking, somewhere on this journal about David McDaniel.

But I do think that, in the final analysis, all a writer really has to give is the stuff that only she or he can give the world and no-one else can. That the sooner you sound like you and tell the stories only you can tell, for good or for ill, the better. And from that point of view, I suppose I think of fan-fiction as training wheels. Sooner or later you have to take them off the bike and start wobbling down the street on your own.
