I Have Never...

And of old it was not darksome, but full of light and splendour, as is still remembered in our songs.

I'm going to go with I've never finished an adventure race because I am not really sure what that is. I am sure this exposes my lack of culture. I have never played a sport at which I did not injure myself at least once.

Uhhhhhh *quick check* Yep, I appear to have finished all of them. Bummer, no more free points. Have you joined every kingdom?

I think I "played" tennis once and didn't injury myself, otherwise I have killed myself a few times for the sake of the great sportsball. I have never moved and had the entire process go smoothly.

I think so, I'm not sure on Fangorn so I will have to jump over there for a bit at some point. What's the weirdest place you've gotten inspiration for a post?

I have twice - granted one move was a room to a room for uni and then a room to a house literally 2 houses down the street so I don't know if that counts. My most recent one... was an utter gong show I had 5 days to pack everything in my house and get it out (everything the could be stored in freezing temperatures was literally stored in two old wooden grain bins on my parents farm and my non freezables were all stored in their basement until possession date of my new house 2 months later I have never lived any place that I have not owned/owned by family

Hmm well, in the PG friendly vein - recently had an idea while kicking the sickles straight on the swather after a wash gully had me slam the whole machine into the side of a hill in the dark that was pretty weird. Which do you prefer? Slice of life or battle/action posts

I have never been that lucky, given that I don't like being that close to family. I have never been able to drink more than two pots of coffee in a day without getting a raging migraine.

Using a simile here, slice of life is like a stream whereas battle/action is like rapids, both are good in their places, though if pressed I would say I enjoy slice of life posts more. What author fantasy or otherwise, other than Tolkien has influenced the way you write?

If we're speaking of plain old black coffee, or Turkish coffee, I've never gotten a migraine from drinking that much coffee, but heartburn totally yes. And speaking of coffee I have never managed to drink any kind of coffee on an empty stomach.

Hmm, this is a hard one for me since I transitioned from academic writing to fiction writing and I still see a lot of the academic way in my fiction... But that is a whole other can of worms. However, Ausma Zehanat Khan has had a strong influence on the way I aspire to write. If you could write a crossover between Tolkien and another series which one would you choose and why?

When I had to get up at 2am for work I did that all the time. I have never eaten an entire box of cookies in a single sitting.

Well, technically I'm doing that with Adventure Time, but more to the spirit of the question I would have to say Kung Fu Panda, because that would be weeeeeeeeeird and I enjoy weird. Same question.

I have. It was a dark time. The Double Stuffed Oreos were a bright spot. I have never made any sort of jam or jelly on my own from scratch

Tolkien cross over...my second favourite thing ever is BSG... so like that would be pretty cool if the Galactica landed in Middle-earth instead of Earth Earth (at least new series based) Is there a cross over with Tolkien that you would or have found horrifically boring?

Neither have I and it's only partly because I'm a catastrophe in the kitchen. :lol: I have never had a potted orchid in my living space.

The most boring ones are Harry Potter/Tolkien crossovers. Tres unimaginative... If your MC suddenly found themselves in the modern world, how quickly or successfuly would they adapt?

I have... but not for long. I may try again I've gotten better information on their care now but haven't found any that I've liked enough for their price tag. I've never had a citrus tree die on me. (But my mother sure as hell has)

Fuin would probably integrate well, she's got enough Morgoth May Care attitude that she's probably be fairly successful. That said knowing her she'd also probably have her own Only Fans so take that as you will for quick/successful lol If your could choose to put in one modern piece of technology into Middle-earth what would it be and why?
