haha.. yeah I know many people find it boring, but I don't find it boring at all. In fact I think it takes a lot of imagination to imagine what the Ainulindale might've been like and also it gives the Sil and also LotR more depth I think.

There's not that many members considering this is a LOTR forum.

The Sil was such an awesome book. I loved it so. My favorite story would have to be OF TURIN. Tragic yet sad it was a perfect work.

I LOVE Maedhros. The shmexiest elf ever, because he is so dark and angsty.

Of course, Beleg isn't exactly undesirable :P.

I don't know if I could choose between the two.

He is pretty frickin' sweet, isn't he? I'm glad other people like him. All the other people I've talked to who've read the Silmarillion didn't really care for him all that much.

I've always considered Maedhros to be really cool. But....I still think that Finrod is way cooler. They both have tragic stories, but at least Finrod stayed true to his friends and his race...Maedhros being involved in the Kinslayings and all....

Finrod is much cooler. :D

I don't know how people could not like Maedhros. :P He's so fiery and unique. Hehehehe. Finrod... naah. He's cool, but Maedhros is cooler. :lol: Maedhros just has the air of, "Alas, but I'm forced to be evil" about him.

Hmm... if you think Kit wouldn't mind, then I guess you could just go ahead and start it. *shrugs*

Muwahahaha, of course. So tragically resigned to his fate. :lol:

Yes... that might be a good idea. I mean, Maedhros is in the Silmarillion, thus he sorta fits in the Silmarillion club... but... the Maedhros club would be better. :P

Haha, okay, so this is way off topic, but I have to put this forward. Today in calc I was letting my mind wander when I realized something. For all of you who watch House, tell me if you can see what I'm talking about.

Turin=House
Beleg=Wilson

Think about it! Turin is a dark angsty loner (like House) and Beleg is pretty much one of Turin's only friends.

I KNOW! And I would love to read a fanfic about that. Heck, maybe I'll write one :P

Yeah, Finrod IS pretty sweet. But although Maedhros was involved in the Kinslayings, I don't think he really wanted to be. There's this perfectly angsty passage from the Silmarillion that shows that Maedhros wasn't too happy about killing fellow elves

"But when they were landed, Maedhros the eldest of his sons, and on a time the friend of Fingon ere Morgoth's lies came between, spoke to Fëanor, saying: 'Now what ships and rowers will you spare to return, and whom shall they bring hither first? Fingon the Valiant?'

Then Fëanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: 'None and none! What I have left behind I count no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that curse my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!'

Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Fëanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri."
