To amuse friends who have read Tolkien...

In a long reply to a comment of epiphyta on the first chapter of "Going Home (to a place we've never been before)" I said

I have just done the 'check spelling and preview' on this comment and the list of options it gives for all the names is hilarious.I said I would post some of the highlights - it's just taken me a few days longer than planned

The marriage of Melbourne and Guardrail is my favorite!

[curiouswombat]

I have to admit that Guardrail was my absolute favourite 😁

[pondhopper]

I am not a huge Tolkien person like you are but some of those made me laugh out loud.
:D

[curiouswombat]

Aren't they wonderfully silly!

The Dunedain as Dandelion would make a dandy crossover with The Witcher. *g*

Those are all hilarious. :)

[curiouswombat]

There are definitely opportunities for some very funny crossovers amongst them.

I have just tried it with Aragorn as well - he wasn't in that original comment. It has come up with -

Paragon, Dragon, Oregon, Dragoon, Acorn, and Origin

Aragorn the dragon.... now that certainly has potential!

The "Glowing Feanorians" is a bit on the nose. *g*

"Kneading the Dunedain" - bakery AU romance?

"Guardrail" is obviously Galadriel's roller derby nickname.

The "Glowing Feanorians" is a bit on the nose.

It is, isn't it! And I could just see the Feanorian Brotherhood as akin to the Fenian Brotherhood in Ireland.

A bakery AU romance when the head baker meets a dark-haired pilot from Iowa...

And Galadriel, star of roller derby, is just waiting for someone to write it! Not me though, I don't know enough about roller derby :)

Heeee!

Lol! What a great way to get inspiration for a new story ;)

[curiouswombat]

There are an awful lot of possibilities there.

I think it's a pity that a Lego Lord of the Rings is highly unlikely, as Lego Legolas is such an obvious pun.

I quite fancy Arwen running a small airline in Iowa - but I will let someone else write it!

[mrowe]

Well, there /is/ a Lego Lotr computer game...

[curiouswombat]

Ah - but I want the three part film trilogy!
