LOTR fans may either find this funny or offensive

...but I found it good for a laugh.

The Secret Diaries of LOTR:

Enjoy!

Found it boring.

Here's something much longer that sadly goes in a similar direction, but is occasionally funny. The rest of that site is more worth reading.

How about homosexual people, I wonder?

The first two were quite amusing, but, as Fuzz says, it quickly became very monotonous: ha, ha, so he also was gay! Frodo shagged Gimli!

They were on the right track with Legolas wondering about him being prettiest and Aragorn giving himself points for being manly; reducing everything to (homo)sexual habits of the heroes ruined it, I couldn't read more than 4-5 of the diaries.

Funny.

"Sam slightly out of control. Keeps giving Frodo baths. "

It really annoyed me that every member of the party wrote in the exact same style, even down to abbreviating "very" with "v.".

Gregjazz · Fri 10/09/2004 05:06:23

I agree, it was pretty repetitive and the author could've done more with it. But there were definitely parts in which I couldn't keep myself from laughing out loud. I also liked the way there were some side-stories (I.E. favorite color "purple"), etc.

I thought that was dull from the get-go. Matrix: Rejected is much better IMHO.

Maybe I'm just really easily amused.

Ishmael · Fri 10/09/2004 07:55:07

The "v." got annoying, but other then that, I don't find it unreadable... the style, of cource, but...

"Still not king" hmm...

remixor · Fri 10/09/2004 09:11:46

I blame Geoffkhan personally for any faults in the style of prose. HA!

Gregjazz · Sat 11/09/2004 00:04:20

Bah! Bah, I say.

Wormsie · Fri 12/11/2004 20:37:14

I tried very hard to feel offended, but couldn't.

I also tried to be amused, but was only mildly.

Bored of the Rings is better - but not much. (Did I get the name right...)

Geoffkhan的日极很没有意思

Gregjazz · Sat 13/11/2004 09:05:13

我明白。对不起，我忘记了你会讲中文 -- 我是真的傻瓜，你知道?。很好啊！

Las Naranjas · Sat 13/11/2004 11:48:23

我是一年记得中文学生.

Gregjazz · Sat 13/11/2004 16:47:19

The forums will remain English

Las Naranjas · Sat 13/11/2004 22:36:13

大先生说话了

So back to English, and yes, the diaries are repetitive.
