Well, you know me, I have incest goggles. It's a curse XD I love Eowyn too, and she and Faramir are rather a good match. I still have a major weakness for Eomer/Eowyn though. We don't really get to see what happens with Eomer, and he certainly deserves someone :)
Over the years, I've wavered back and forth on Tolkien's writing. There's certainly beauty there, and the Rohirrim especially are blessed with some wonderful words. I've had a few issues with the writing in the past, but I've finally come to the conclusion that it's just that his literary influences date back to Beowulf and the like, so he's just several hundred years late XD. Once I realised that, I actually started to fully appreciate the writing. I guess you could think of the whole thing as his homage to the Old English epics. It makes more sense if you look at it like that :)
I owe you an email! But first of all *prod*prod*LITTL EBANG!*prod*prod* I think you're scheduled to post in 6 days. How's it looking? Is it coming together?
