Welcome to the moot!
Great idea for a thread. Can't think of any others, apart from "Pleased to meet you, hobbit's got my name" |

We are not even big fans, we are fanatics, however we have a sense of humour and those would not be viewed as disrespectful.

Actually, "fan" is a shortened version of fanatic. So you mean you're just a fanatic? I'm a big fanatic.

I'll have to agree with the rest, though I think the word they're looking for is 'crazy', not 'fan'

I'll just say, before coming to the Entmoot, I considered myself pretty informed about Tolkien's books. Now I feel like a novice.
People here are HUGE fanatics. But with a sense of humor ![]()

If you ask my friends, they'll say I'm obsessed. Although many days go by and I make no referrences to JRRT or any of his books.
But that is only because they don't read JRRT. Or if they have, they've only read The Hobbit (not IMO his best work). They only go see the movies. And some of them don't even do that. And this is because they are not enlightened. They have not seen the Light of The Books! They do not bask in the glory of The Books!! They have not been touched by the wonders of The Books!!! And therefore, they have not been changed by The Books!!!! uhmmmm...oh, uh.... nevermind. ![]() |
