As a passing reference from Saruman to Gandalf: "when you have the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the five wizards, and have purchased for yourself a pair of boots several sizes larger than the ones you have now".
But yes, only properly discussed in History of Middle Earth and in Unfinished Tales (which I think is directly referencing the bit expanded in more detail in HoME, in any case, IIRC).
Elcalion, feeling very nerdy

I was keeping my faith in humanity in artificial resperation using the Fan Fic Recommendations pages. Here's a Goodfic:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2979694/1/Rosesofthe_Valley
An Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic set before the events of the series, and one that relies upon a cast of Good, non-sueish OC's. That's all I can tell you, since anything more would spoil the fanfic further. Also, i'm not really that good at descriptions.

There seems to be quite a few tropers here. I came about the site that way, too.
Okay, technically I found the wiki through TvTropes, which then lead me here, but still.
Anyway, have some bamboo. Don't let it bite you, though.

There, you will find that the 'defenses' of Fanthings treatment of Ron and Ginny were mare rather recently, and by a minority. They seem to be relying on volume in order to overwhelm the opposition. See TheFinalCountdown's edits for the most recent example, as well as why I consider it to be a shameless coup. Of course, it looks like a counterattack has started (his lines had already been deleted), but i'm not certain that the Fanthings that attempted to foist their 'explenations' on the Article would take this lying down.
Then again, I made the OP in a moment of anger, not expecting things to get better. I'm still going to keep a watch on the article, though. I'll make another post if it does turn out that the Fanthings attempt to repost their 'defenses'.
Sorry if this may have bothered you.

Have some bamboo. Be careful, though, it bites.
I would also like to recommend reading stuff by Trojanhorse and her various partners (especially Pads)over at rc45, which I believe that someone has already linked. If I'm wrong, I'll try and provide a link later, once I figure out what this board uses in place of BBCode.

Welcome. Here is a life time supply of coffee, a large funnel, six oddly shaped mice, a yellow ribbon, a book of equations and a painful destiny. The use of them should speak for itself.
I'm a Buffy fan too, nice to meat you. I'm sure we will later have the opportunity to discuss it.

Here have a 17 foot long, multi-colored wool knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.
*knitting needles clicking in the background*
Can't stop now, gotta finish a spare!
I like Buffy, too, but I haven't gotten to see all of the episodes yet.
Enjoy your stay.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Uh, never mind.

Whew! my agents knitting needles are smoking with all these scarves for new folks!
I'm pretty new, too. Do you have any tv shows you read for? Not that I'm not able to read novels, just that for some reason almost all of my fanfic reading focuses on the tv I watch. Perhaps it is that the episodic nature inherent to tv series lends itself to my favorite fanfic style.

-and unintentionally rhyme at you. I'm terrofen. I found the board through TV Tropes, though as a big fan of Mervin, I've definitely heard of you before. I'm a big Buffy fan, fairly into Harry Potter and Discworld. There's more, but I'm hoping we'll get to know each other through conversation.

IRC = Chat by
on 2010-03-08 03:09:00 UTC

It's a chat room messaging system, using the Internet Relay Chat concept, used to allow multiple individuals to act as though they were in one conference message system. If you want, you can use a client like mIRC or any other IRC client with a server name of irc.blitzed.org and a channel of #PPC.
Or you can just use the Mibbit web client and not need to install anything.

I see. Her powers are strong but not the STRONGEST. She is not greater than her parents or Elrond for example. But I am glad that you noticed that I was trying NOT to make her a Sue. She does plenty of stupid shit.
Hey, no Elf is perfect LOL.
Examples: Eol, Maeglin, Caranthir, especially Feanor...

Raven Armory? SWEET! *glomp* And I'm gonna need that bleeprin. I needn't fear for my sanity, however, as my borderline-kleptomaniac best friends ran off with it a while ago.

The perils of long names... they tend to get abbreviated often. (Mine shortens to Dann, by the way. I have no clue why people would call me Techno, but it keeps happening...)
One other link you might not have - there's a PPC IRC channel, #PPC on Blitzed, if you're familiar with IRC. Or, you can click here and let Mibbit take care of it for you.

Okay, I see; I'll start with those three then and then start checking out everything. And I'm very grateful for the gifts (I Googled the fizz and it sounds yummy)... haven't gotten assaulted yet. I'll remember the tradition for the next newbie. Thank you so very much, I'm much less lost now.
