The Ringwraith Review

[Rior Laegiel]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? Crunch, I'm too impatient to let it melt by itself.
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? Water creatures likr whales or dolphins. They would talk telepathically.
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? Scud. Maybe not at first but eventually when I got hungry enough.

[Nessa Saelind]

[Winddancer]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? Suck half of it, cruch the rest
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? Always wondered what the majestic stag carrying Leggie's dad would say..
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? Yea no, Im gonna wait til Frost and Fuin die and eat them..

[Moriel]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? There comes a certain point in the melting process where the candy loses structural integrity and demands to be crunched.
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? Wolves, the kind from Eddings. They talk in their own way.
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? I would rather die. Ok maybe not really but philosophically.

[Androthelm]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? I will let it melt until it is the tiniest sliver -- thin enough to go between my teeth -- and then crunch.
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? I would love to have seen some boar. Big, wild boar. Talking, probably yes. Or (on a similar note) a classic white-stag-hunt.
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? Horrible!

[Marceline]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? I have never been patient enough NOT to crunch the candy once it reaches a certain size.
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? Snakes? And yes, they would sssspeak.
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? I want to scream D E A T H and say I wouldn't eat either of them, but I'd probably wind up closing my eyes and just swallowing whichever one I picked up.

[Nia]

1. Candy. When you have a piece of hard-candy – a mint, a jolly rancher, etc. – do you have to crunch it or are you able to let it melt in your mouth? I really don't like crunching on sweets; gives me the heebie-jeebies (like crunching on ice cubes! ). I'll suck it until it's wafer-thin, and then I crumble it (big distinction from a crunch) and swallow.
2. What other animal/creature, besides the ones that are already in Tolkien's works, would you have enjoyed reading about, and would they talk? I will almost always try to answer an animal question with 'giant panda', and yes, they would talk - indeed I'm pretty sure they'd be a calm and collected voice of wisdom. Probably chilling in the Misty Mountains or something.
3. You are stranded on a deserted island. No ferns, no trees, no nothing to make a fishing pole with. All sand and rock. You are starving. You got to eat something till you see a plane. Which one would you feast on, Scud or Sea Roaches? Oh dear. Well, firstly, with no trees to hide under, I'd probably have sunburnt to a crisp before needing to make this choice anyway, which is some small relief. I guess the scud looks a little more shrimpy (not that I'm really a fan of that either) and a little less insecty. So probably the scud.

Hahaha, this made my day when I read it! Your up @Winddancer!

[Winddancer]

Ok then..

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..)
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life)
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you)

[Baphởmet]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) Me: ants, I'm highly myrmecophobic; Frost: his mother
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) Me: linguistic terrorism (ie commodifying and otherizing of non English languages); Frost: Rohan
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) Me: Harry Lloyd would be a trip; Frost: well Kjetil-Vidar Haraldstad of course

[Marceline]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) Me - dying violently. Uhhh... nothing to see here, Windy... Zôr - open water.
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) - Me - intolerance in all its many flavors. Zôr - Oh this is a good one. I'm gonna go with disloyalty. We'll see if that changes!
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) Me - while we are very different, I think it would be hilarious to see how Ali Wong would play me. Zôr - Lara Pulver!

[Galadrihell]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) why would I give that sort of thing away?? But since you're being so specific, bears dressed as people, and people dressed as bears
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) Injustice, and the rum being gone
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) Jessie Mei Li

[Ercassie]

What is your biggest fear ? Your main character and you personally (pulls out notebook ..)

Not sure who my main character even is anymore but I’ll use Nariel, mostly because my username is her Epessse/alias.

Her fear - burning alive. And broken heels.
My fear - being trapped in somewhere that’s slowly filling up with water to the point that I will drown. Very specific I know. I can’t watch the Poseidon adventure and still skip several scenes when watching Titanic !

What really makes you angry ? (Again can do character and real life)

Her - Hatholdir
Me - Peoples’ inability to compromise.

If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you ? (Character and real life you)

Her - Amy Yasbeck (actress who I use for her icon)
Me - I’d like to say same, as we’re both natural redheads, but yeh that would not be an accurate likeness. At all.

[Raisins]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) Fuin and myself - Failure
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) Fuin - White Surcoats for battle. Me - hypocrisy
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) Fuin - Jessica De Gouw Me - Nobody would EVER want to see a movie tv show about my life. They could stick a russet potato on screen with a touch of makeup and it would be fairly accurate.

[Nessa Saelind]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. My MC: failing as a mother, causing harm to others. Me: paralysis, being unemployed/without funds.
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) My MC: injustice, when people are not listening to what she is saying. Me: when people are not listening to what I am saying to them {for the umpteenth time in 10 minutes}, adults being incapable of talking to other adults like adults and resolve their issues (very specific I know, not a subtweet )
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) My MC: Indira Varma, Me: if you can't sleep and want a good snooze fest an animated version of me would do the trick

[Winddancer]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. WD: Surprisingly not as much Sauron, but being judged negatively by her younger brother
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) Entitlement
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) WD: Watch Hogfather's Susan Sto Helit and ignore the dual coloured hair, she would make a great WD. Me: All the actresses are too pretty :P

[Afird Splitax]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) MC: being looked down upon. RL: that my son's suffer in some way.
What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life). MC: lazy dwarf men. RL: being lied to.
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you). MC: Meredith Eaton (with a full beard of course). RL: Sandra Bullock

[Lailyn]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. How long is that notebook? there aren't enough pages in the world to cover them all I suppose Lailyn can be considered my "MC" in which case - being alone. Me? Succumbing to external/societal pressures.
What really makes you angry? Again, how many pages have you got? Not much makes Lailyn angry but definitely lying. Lots of things make *me* angry. Unfairness is a big one. Also, tree-killers.
If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? Lailyn - Mia Wasikowska (more Judy & Punch than Alice in Wonderland) and we look nothing alike but I'll go Anna Kendrick so it can be a movie musical.

[Pele Alarion]

What is your biggest fear? Your main character and you personally. (pulls out a notebook..) Dentist! For Pele, that someone might suffer or die because of her (due to her fault, actions, lack of action, etc.).

What really makes you angry? (again can do character and in real life) Lack of trustworthiness. For Pele: the feeling of vulnerability, being powerless.

If your life was made into a movie/tv show, who would play you? (Character and real life you) Errr... No idea.

[Winddancer]

I had totally forgotten about this! And in no way did I take any notes, whatsoever.. ahem.. Anyways! @The Black Serpent why don't you give us the next ones? I have no clue who has gone or not, but you weren't on the last 3 pages, so go for it! :P

[The Black Serpent]

Thanks!

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense?
2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir?
3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be?

[Baphởmet]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? a bit derivative, no real unique ideas setting him apart from his compatriots except for a spikey head piece, but at least he's trying to make it work
2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowyn when you see her with Faramir? If I were a female orc I'd clobber Faramir and run off with Eowyn
3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? Trout Tartare, Ceviche, Poke

[Raisins]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? Honestly aside from the flowy black robes and the iron crown do we really know what his fashion sense is? He could be absolutely fantastically minded but when ones budget is three sniffs of a magic ring one may not be able to afford dressing as one would like.
2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir? I feel like clobbering both of them most of the time so no particular change given this circumstance.
3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? Sashimi, rabbit, eggs probably in that order.

[KingODuckingham]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? You cannot deny he has style, but he does lack spicy variety.
2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAFI5In7i2U
3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? I'm not super familiar with the menu at a sushi bar but I imagine Gollum would like most of that stuff.

[Galadrihell]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? Well, black is always in style. The flowing robes bring a bit of softness to the look but this is balanced out by the statement headpiece. Whilst I admire the heavy tromp of the greaved boots, the gauntlets feel like a bit much and that he's trying a bit hard - the whole look really needs something to tie it together, like a patent leather belt.

2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir? I always feel like clobbering everyone, obviously

3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? Fissssssssh, Eggses, and the ultimate combination, Caviar. You can keep nassssty chips

[Nessa Saelind]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? - The cut and the fabric of his robes suit his silhouette and the billowing effect of the robe is just dramatic entrance perfection. His fashion accessories, the helm, sword and mace are on point, although, personally I'd go with matt midnight-black finish for the helm, maybe a touch of glitter for Saturday Night Fever.
2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir? - Listen... Speaking as a female orc I have better things to do than go around clobbering straw head lasses mooning over tall dorks. And besides it would ruin my manicure.
3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? - Sushi, eggs and steak tartar from the top of my head

[Pele Alarion]

1) What do you think about the Witchking's fashion sense? Now... if Witchking wore a nice tuxedo, we might talk about a fashion sense, but otherwise - just meh.

2) If you were a female orc, do you feel like clobbering Eowen when you see her with Faramir? Would any orc even care otherwise than eating them both?

3) If Gollum was a chef in a restaurant, what would his 3 favorite food items be? Raw fish, snails, more raw fish.

[Baphởmet]

Alright, as it's been over a month, Imma pull a minion and steal the next set of questions because... reasons

1) Name a "celebrity" (actor, author, musician, podcaster, other) would you most like to see active around the Plaza.
2) Why is horror often put in the "Fiction" or "Sci-Fi" sections of bookstores instead of being give its own place?
3) For anyone who watches DS9, would Fleeg make a good Ferengi?

[Nessa Saelind]

1) Name a "celebrity" (actor, author, musician, podcaster, other) would you most like to see active around the Plaza. - Oh I think Bear McCreary would be an awesome person to have around.
2) Why is horror often put in the "Fiction" or "Sci-Fi" sections of bookstores instead of being give its own place? - Giving horror a shelf of its own is giving it power! And you know what happens when you feed power to horror.
3) For anyone who watches DS9, would Fleeg make a good Ferengi? He'd make a fan-bloody-tastic Ferengi!

[Ercassie]

1) Name a “celebrity” (actor, author, musician, podcaster, other) you would most like to see active around the Plaza -
Mads Mikkelsen. Honestly just to see everyone go crazy fanatic over the popular ‘celebrity crush’.

2) Why is Horror often put in the “Fiction” or “Sci-Fi” sections of bookstores instead of being given its own place ? -
I don’t believe it is deliberately put in the sections of other genres. I think it sneaks there after closing time and waits to scare unsuspecting shoppers !

3) For anyone who watches DS9, would Fleeg make a good Ferengi ? -
I do not know what DS9 is, or what a Ferengi is, so I wouldn’t have a clue.

[Raisins]

1) Name a "celebrity" (actor, author, musician, podcaster, other) would you most like to see active around the Plaza. Misha Collins. I say this for two reasons (neither of which have anything to to with him in supernatural. 1. He's totally into fanfiction which means he probably has a good appreciation of writing so would be good at it. 2. He seems like he'd be the sort to drag anyone and everyone he could along with him.
2) Why is horror often put in the "Fiction" or "Sci-Fi" sections of bookstores instead of being give its own place? I suppose it is in my shops as well though it has the words 'HORROR' right above it in each of those sections which is dictated on where the setting is over all I suppose (something realisticly set on Earth tends to fall under fiction, and then they have the space horrors, but like some of the shops I've been to have massive rows of shelves labeled horror... Bit they are in those over arching sections.
3) For anyone who watches DS9, would Fleeg make a good Ferengi? Yes. He would make the best Ferengi, he'd out Ferengi Quark.

[Rior Laegiel]

1) Name a "celebrity" (actor, author, musician, podcaster, other) would you most like to see active around the Plaza.
*Agrees with Raisins*
2) Why is horror often put in the "Fiction" or "Sci-Fi" sections of bookstores instead of being give its own place?
Because the people who put them there believe in overcoming their fears. Thus making fears works of fiction.
3) For anyone who watches DS9, would Fleeg make a good Ferengi?
Yes, he would be BFF with Rom.
