Men of the Appendices
If you've been following the "Men of the Silmarillion" thread (if you haven't, you had better go do that. It's really amusing ), you'll have seen that Valandil decided that the topic was exhausted, and as a result, we should go on to the Men of Appendix A.
So... with no further ado, here it is. My favourite has got to be Glorfindel. I mean... he just rides up on his horse, and the Witch-King turns and flees from battle! How much better can you get (without looking at the 1st Age )

... What I want to know is why the guys are posting in about their favourite men in the fan-girl thread. I had no idea the gay community was so rampant here on entmoot.

I wasn't going to comment on that, BoP...
The MotS thread seemed to be strictly female (almost, at least), and TD even said that he was never going to post there. So he comes and posts here instead. I don't get it...

I am totally straight and intend to post in this thread solely to make fun. My heart belongs to Galadriel, so there isn't any point in arguing about it.

For those who were wondering about "Elendur"... yes, that name was used for a later king of Arnor (six after Valandil), however - that WAS also the name of Isildur's eldest son, but we only know that from 'Unfinished Tales' - not from Appendix A.

Look who graced this thread with his presence!
Is this a thread where we fight over guys... like the Men of the Sil thread? What do you think these Appendix A guys would think of legions of fangirls? Probably form the Last Alliance of Elves and Men to Fight Teenaged Hormones...

Wow... in MY honour!!!??? And even honour WITH the 'u'!!!
Uh... don't make it sound like you're settling for second best here though! Not sure if this belongs here in the LOTR book thread, or the ME thread... we'll see how it goes.

Better?
I didn't know where to put it, but since the Appendices are in Lord of the Rings...

Sure you don't, Val.
You're Isildur's youngest son, right?
