I need a new copy of LotR. This one's read and marked to pieces because I scribbed quotes of note and slashiness in the margin, and earmarked them.



It would seem that at age sixteen, before I even went through my big wave of Must Have Slash No Matter How Bad It Is, I was quite the little Aragorn/Gandalf (and Legolas/Gimli) slasher. Molly says "Ew, Gandalf." I say "Sexy old warrior wizard!" But thenm, what do I know, I like Chris Kirkpatrick. (Hm, Chris/Gimli?)

Thank you! Finally someone else who thinks Gandalf is sexy. I thought I was the only one. *sigh* The long, wind-blown, steel-gray hair, the kind blue eyes, the way he wielded his staff, the gruff yet teasing manner he had with the Hobbits...

And my copy was crumpled by my sister's boyfriend. When he reads books, he reads books. My copy looks like it went ten rounds with Ali and lost. Badly. *g* But it looks well-loved and well-read, so I'm not upset.

I can't slash legolas with the movie!gimli, but when I imagine dwarves as a little bit taller [not too much] and not so disfigured I can. It's obvious in the books the way the dote on one another. "I'll not grudge you the game" because Legolas is so happy to see Gimli in the Two Towers.

I love these books. They're excellent. I wish I had read them sooner.

I know what you mean. I'm on my fourth copies, but that's because I thrashed them all so much when I was writing my senior paper on them. And Yes!!! Gandalf is terrific.

And I refuse to comment about Chris and Gimli!!!!
