gadgetorious for all the time she spent reading this and providing near constant feedback and hand-holding. Props also to tocourtdisaster who did several read-throughs at the end once we were sick of looking at it. A final thanks to the members of the Rec Room of the jim_and_bones comm for their unconditional support and cheerleading throughout the STBB. They are the coolest people in the world!A/N: I borrowed several lines from Tolkien throughout. In my head, in the books and films Jim was there but always just out of sight; events weren’t different because he was there to begin with anyway. :-}~
I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien

Rambling Post of Ramblingness
Sep. 7th, 2010 06:12 pmShit weather today led to half an hour spent in the basement at work as a tornado came very close to campus. The emergency warnings led to some people saying, "Do we really need to go to the basement?" Um, the public areas have very large windows because this building was constructed before AC and so there is a LOT OF GLASS THAT CAN SPAGHETTIIZE YOU. YES WE'RE GOING TO THE FUCKING BASEMENT.
(Oh yeah, that's why I work in public services. Why do you ask?)
After that the day got better, although one of my students couldn't "find" her reading for class today--even though it's online, the url is in the syllabus, we showed where the link to it is on the class website last week.... I don't know. Kids. Oy.
Spent some time looking for Lord of the Rings fanzines and ILLing some stuff. I have a vague idea for a paper about Constructing Lothiriel since anyone who has to write her is basically creating an OFC and this fascinates me.
Anyhow, got the Heinlein bio and looking forward to that. Also finished Mockingjay which I'll review at length more later--I'm still chewing it over and now am toying with the idea of a Reboot/Hunger Games AU. IDEK.

Herewith friends, let the record show that on today, the 9th of August 2010, a new and landmark understanding of Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was reached in the bowels of The Wicked Awesome Library & Archives, specifically within the Administrative Suite, at the hour of 1:05 pm, by Lyndsey, Todd, and Cait.
This discovery took place just outside the Director’s office, and lo it was fortunate that he wasn’t actually there, but was in fact out to lunch, which was a really good thing considering there was a lot of cackling and cussing involved.
~
It started off with a discussion of why Éowyn and Faramir would hook up:
TODD: I mean, it doesn’t make sense, right? You have the most badass woman in the book, and…Faramir.
CAIT: The guy with the daddy issues.
LYNDSEY: Well, really, it made sense for her to end up with the most badass guy in the book, who was Aragorn, but he was, y’know, taken and all.
CAIT: And Éomer’s other most badass guy, but he was, y’know, her brother.
TODD: Éomer was not badass—
CAIT AND LYNDSEY: YES HE WAS!
LYNDSEY: The Rohirrim are the most badass Men in the books!
CAIT: It’s all those decades of fighting off the encroaching Orcs and Saruman and all—
LYNDSEY: And they’re riding around on the plains, saying “Fuck you, Gondor!”
CAIT: Bad. Ass.
LYNDSEY: Totally.
TODD: Okay, fine, so Éomer’s badass—
LYNDSEY: Yes.
CAIT: Thank you.
TODD: --and that only really leaves the Elf and the Dwarf, and she couldn’t pick one of those.
LYNDSEY: I would’ve picked the Elf.
TODD: And he would have said, “Thank you” and then “Oh look, here come a hundred thirteen-year-olds to admire me.”
LYNDSEY: So, yeah, Faramir.
TODD: So Faramir, ever the class act, hit her up in a hospital.
LYNDSEY: And what did that conversation go like?
TODD: (baritone) My Dad runs this place and tried to kill me. (falsetto) I killed the Witch King. (baritone) So I know this awesome soldier’s bar down the street…
And then it became a matter of unpacking all the family relationships involved:
CAIT: So it’s like a footnote in the books that Denethor’s wife kinda had a thing for young Aragorn, back when he was running around with Théngol and all.
TODD: So wait, you’re saying that Aragorn could be Boromir’s Dad??
CAIT: Well I wasn’t before, but come to think of it--
LYNDSEY: It explains a lot now!
TODD: The intense resentment with Aragorn—
LYNDSEY: Why Denethor has a really warped relationship with his sons—
CAIT: Aragorn kissing Boromir and crying in the movies—
LYNDSEY: I think we’re on to something here.
TODD: Let’s think this through though. Because he really loved Boromir, who was all big and manly and badass, while Faramir was all scrawny and wimpy—
CAIT: Still hot though. (pause) I’m just sayin’.
LYNDSEY: Well then it becomes like a self-loathing issue, too, because Denethor wasn’t badass—
TODD: So he really hated Faramir because it reminded him of himself, while Boromir was like Aragorn, which adds this whole new messed-up aspect to the thing…
LYNDSEY: Wow.
CAIT: Dude.
TODD: Everything about that last book makes way more sense now.

That Point in Writing
Aug. 7th, 2010 08:34 pmI love Jim/Eomer so much and it CAN'T WORK OUT.
They are adorable together. I was not expecting this. I think I like them even more than Jim/Bones.
WTF Self????

Scott's home with the puppy.
Me (holding open copy of The Lord of the Rings): I'd forgotten how little time Eomer has in the books. It's more than in the movies, but not as much as he should have gotten.
Scott: Yes, her part is really small.
Me: ... I said Eomer, not Eowyn.
Scott: Oh. Yeah. Yeah, he just dies doesn't he?
Me: ... HE BECOMES THE KING OF ROHAN!!!!!!
Scott: ... Wait, who?
Me: YOU'VE READ THESE MORE TIMES THAN I HAVE!!!!!!!!!
Scott: The King? Oh yeah.
Me: That's ARAGORN.
Scott: Well he dies. (laughing now)
Me: *facepalm*

Happy Solstice!
Jun. 21st, 2010 05:41 pm~
From a conversation this morning:
Todd: How was your birthday weekend?
Me: It was awesome! One of my friends wrote a story about Printer!Jim!
Todd: Yeah? How accurate were they on the printing stuff?
Me: Well, it wasn't about printing so much as Jim being all inky and stuff.
Todd: ...
Me: It's a chick thing, dude.
Todd: I guess it must be.
~
How are you guys going to spend the Solstice? Considering I got up at 4:45am with Scott, I'm going to be spending it on the couch being all o_0 and doing laundry.
..This is not my bestest plan ever. I know.
Random Update
May. 16th, 2010 06:29 pmYeah, so I started writing a fic based on a dare, cos I'm all weak like that.
Um, it's over 22k words now. It will probably end up around 30k.
*headdesk*
Anyhow, I am about to fall off the planet because Book History Workshop is coming up. So just FYI.
