So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

Lothlorien seemed to exist in perpetual gloom, when the original is sunny.

Edoras wasn't too bad; some of the detailing was excellent -- it was the Rohan plains I really didn't like -- they should have been plains of long grass with no rocks, as I've seen in Mongolia. The rocky heath was terrible horse country.

And those spiral staircases around the trees! Lórien was populated by Silvan folk - would they really hammer nails in the trees, so that Galadriel wouldn't have to climb a ladder? Oh, please!

And just didn't look very blended into the forest at all.

Yup. Though Galadriel is Noldor, perhaps she couldn't climb ;)

hehehe - or thought it below her dignity? ;)

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Below her dignity to do in public perhaps :)

I'd forgotten all the rocks! Yes, totally not good horse country.

I had this beautiful internal vision of the Rohan plains from the books, backed up by Mongolia, where we saw Rohirric-style horse games in Rohan-like countryside, if a bit dry. You'd have wanted a sturdy shaggy pony in the NZ version of Rohan.

That sounds very cool!
