Swords
(Preview)
Id like to make myself a sword, and not wooden, but i cant find any pages on where there are any guides to make swords besides made of wood. Something more resistant than wood would be very useful. I want to do one myself because: i aint got the money at the moment to buy one and selfmade are always dearer and...

Aragorn vs. Eragon
(Preview)
I'm I crazy or is the book Eragon something of a rip-off from Middle Earth?
Don't get me wrong, Eragon is a decent enough story, but I can't help but notice similarities between itself, and LOTR.
1.) Main characters Eragon / Aragorn
2.) We have Dwarves and Elves in each, along with Dragons (altho...

Other authors of note (who do you like?)
(Preview)
Aside from our common interests in JRRT (from which my own fantasy backgrounds started with the Rankin/Bass movies when I was about 3), what other authors does everyone enjoy reading? I'm entirely caught up in George R.R. Martin's Song Of Ice And Fire series, and am eagerly awaiting (the seemingly m...

Am I missing something?
(Preview)
I've really enjoyed the conversations, though limited, that I've been involved with on this forum. I can't help but wonder if I'm missing something though. I can't seem to find any "fresh" posts or threads. I'm not into roll playing. I find my style of writing isn't good for that sort o...

Who are you? (in 250 words)

Who am I? or What I am? First of all, I would like to begin with who am I from my point of view. Well, it’s really not that simple to say. I believe that describing myself in 250 words would be totally unfair to me since I’m more complex then that. I am queer. People think I am queer. To sustain this idea I would m...

the concept of death for tolkien
(Preview)
I think the title says it all.
In a previous thread Narg mentioned the idea of death in Tolkien's writings.
And of course depending on each race the idea of death is of course different.
We all know that Dwarves can "reincarnate", that Men go to an unknown place and that Elves stay in Aman.
But th...
