Two classic essays...

[mollyringwraith]

If you're feeling scholarly and somehow have never seen these two fantastic essays by Tyellas, then I point you to:

What Tolkien Officially Said About Elf Sex

and

the longer and more serious Warm Beds Are Good: Sex and Libido in Tolkien's Writing. Features the subsection, "Sam and Frodo: Gay? Or Victorian?" You know you're curious.

Yes, one

Oh, yes, I've read those. "Warm Beds Are Good" won a Mithril Award, I believe. It deserved it, too--"Warm Beds Are Good" is the best essay title I've seen since...since forever, probably.

Do you mind if I friend you?

All are welcome in this house of madness. :)

Yes, I do believe it did win some award. Well deserved, too! I bet lots of college kids have copied it as a term paper...heh...

Gosh. I'm blushing here! Thanks for the links...I've done everything I can to keep kids from snitching the essay for their term papers. The essay PDF file has a whoooooole lot of security on it.

You deserve the attention - those are wonderful! Wish my contributions to the fandom were half as smart. :)

Hehe...security: good thinking. Wouldn't put anything past the students these days.

Hi! I recently read your parodies, both the slash and non-slash versions, and I think they're fabulous.

Congratulations on finishing your novel!

I've been getting into the avatar making game and created this one (as my favourite quote). You're welcome to have it, if you wish. I have a few other LotR ones, more book related than funny. I'll have to post them somewhere.

Hehehehe! That's great! Their expressions are priceless. Definitely, feel free to share in comments around here. You'll probably encounter lots of willing takers. :)

And thank you for the lovely compliments too!
