Some things are impossible to adapt well to the silver screen. Lord of the Rings is one of them.
There are very few cases where I do not believe the movie is inferior to the written work it is based on. Generally they are either cases where the work adapted is short or is (very) loosely inspired by as in the case of Do Androids Dream Electric Sheep/Blade Runner.
Hello, I am the Altar Ego of a person who has recently discovered the PPC. I myself am not active in any fandoms, however my offspring, known henceforth as my spawn, has written slash and even commented about slashing a pair of characters from one of my NaNos!
(It should be noted that I am not upset about her writing slash, but would be if I found one of her posted works deserved the attention of PPC agents.)
I am also saddened that a work I feel deserves to be mocked does not qualify as it is a movie that pretends to be based on a pair of my favorite books.
Fair winds! And watch out for my Agents during races.
Believe me, it's useful. How so, you ask? Well, it opens doors. Other than that, I'm not sure.
;p Nice to meet you!
As long as it stays in the door. If it and the door decide to separate it can be useless. Something of which I am reminded when someone gets stuck in the bathroom.
Also a good, heavy, doorknob in a pillow case works as well as a brick.
I bring you welcome and greetings and a nice rock I found. I'm going to have to pick up some more if I keep giving them away like this. If you're interested, I've got a bit of House Roac hot chocolate, too, that I've been saving for a special occasion.
Welcome and regards,
Lleu Llaw Gyffes
I love hot chocolate. Especially when mixed with coffee and topped with whipped cream.
Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.
Please take my meagre offerings of honey mead, Bleeprin (definitely a PPC must) and some chocolate bars to get you through the day x
*The Original Series, minus The Dark Elf.
*A partial list of killed badfics.
*Missing works that were backed up elsewhere. Some were recovered from the Wayback Machine, others from copy-and-paste files. The Selmorwai mission was actually recovered from my youngest sister's file of random PPC missions.
The Board:
*The Board Constitution
*Board FAQ
Other wiki pages of note:
*A must-read article on Permission.
*A basic guide.
*Mission-Writing Guide.
*Slash-Sporking Guide.

*I don't know how much experience you have with editing wikis, but just in case...
And one more, very general link.
Welcome to the Board. Please deposit your sanity in the provided receptacle. *indicates bucket marked "Warg Fodder"* You shan't need it here. If your head a splode while you're here, it's probably your fault.
Welcome to the PPC!
I can sympathize with the movie thing. I hate it when movie-makers ruin good stories. *glares at Peter Jackson*

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
Please use them IRresponsibly!
Have a gun. Just in case you find a Sue, they are quite nasty opponents.
Have a panda that eats, shoots and leaves!
I am curious to know, what pair of books are you referring to?
Anyway, have a mating pair of Dodos, Passenger Pigeons and Moas!
*lovingly strokes a copy of 'The Annotated Alice'*
I haven't actually sat to watch the recent movie yet. The bits I've caught while TGISW* was watching it,as well as revues I read, are enough to convince me the people who made it didn't understand the books.
I'm especially upset about how the Dodo was portrayed. He is a very friendly bird!
*TGISW = That Guy (or Girl) I Sleep With.
The Wonderland novels were the only "pair" I could think of. I didn't catch the Dodo reference in your name, though.
Have some NM&NMs (boarder M&Ms) and a replica of Sting.
Welcome to the PPC! Have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
And other such phrases of welcome and inclusion. Good to have you here, and I hope you'll have fun. What fandoms are you into?
Ad an official Welcome Gift, I present you with a bag of pebbles and a Random Shiny Object. Use them well in the defence of Canon.
I'm not currently active in any fandoms. Part of this is I can get very attached to the canon of works I like. I'm not as bad about this as I used to be, but my revue of any movie based on a book where I am not familiar with either is: The Book is Better.
Don't feed it Sues.
