Fan Fiction Brainstorming
I can definitely relate to Karen’s reaction to our latest assignment; I’m a non-obsessor when it comes to TV, movies, stories, etc. There is, however, one example that comes to mind. Yes, LORD OF THE RINGS. I probably won’t be the only person to post about it, and there’s certainly a plethora of LOTR fan fiction out there (e.g. DS106′s own LOTB). The trilogy has been one of my faves since I first saw The Fellowship of the Ring back in the day (7th grade, actually) with my “bffs”–my sister and two neighbors. We’re still kind of addicted to this day, and have been known to consecutively watch all three movies when visiting each other. It’s a tradition that’ll probably never die for us. Of the three movies, I’d have to say The Two Towers is the best. When the movie starts, the plot’s already been established and ready to go, and the epicness isn’t over by the end of the movie–plus there’s always the Battle of Helm’s Deep. I don’t even like violent movies, but the action in this scene is just too good to pass up. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen these movies, although I confess that I’ve yet to read the books. I’ll get to them someday…
Admittedly, the one thing The Two Towers doesn’t have on The Return of the King is the March of the Ents. Treebeard is the best:
