Most of y'all voted to follow this story, and each ALSO play a member of the fellowship. (ie Lothwen plays herself AND Samwise, Gandalf the Yellow plays himself AND Boromir, etc) That sounds just peachy!

One person did send in an alternative story. I'm posting it here in case you folks would prefer to follow it. Choose whichever you want with no pressure to go either way.

---------------
The story takes place after Sarong falls and everything is relatively peaceful in middle earth.....or is it?
When we all get to Rivendell a council is held, where each earth person is paired with one character of the movie/book, and we all embark on a quest together to Mordor.
In Mordor, trouble is brewing, orcs are reproducing again and an army is being created, the leader of the army is a powerful dark sorcerer who is also from earth...
The king has tried to exterminate the orcs (of course) but has failed, they are too many, and the darkness of Mordor is growing, he is truly desperate.

But the king has not lost hope. Before Bilbo, Frodo, the elves and Gandalf embarked on their last journey a prophecy was made (Gandalf)

"Ere your time is done, my friend...a great force will take over Mordor. A force you will not be able to fight alone, this force has a name, Maligno. There will come several beings from the same place Maligno comes from. They are your aid, they must find themselves in order to carry out the task which is to gain access to Mordor and reach the fortress along the banks of the sea of nurien, it is called nurngost, and there all beings will engage in a fight with Maligno, where no physical weapon can be used"

(Us beings are supposed to find ourselves with the help of our paired buddies from middle-earth, but we will all travel together, perhaps like the fellowship, though I hope this one doesn’t split)

okay here is the webpage where there is an interactive map of Mordor, so you can find nurngost, just skip intro and get to the map, unless you want to see the intro (which is not really exiting) by the way, since nurngost is no prominent landmark, ill just tell you where it is, in the north bank of the great inland sea (nurnen) there is a little tower...and there it is.

Remember, the choice is up to you.

I would like to try the alternate story, but either choice is fine with me.

Oh and if we choose the alternate story, can I be partnered with Legolas (unless he is already taken)?

Me too. I like the alternate story more than the movie story. Okay let's do it Meet at council and continue to the story where we left

Okay, so the alternative story it is. I'll edit it into the first post in the thread, so folks know what's up.

Choose the character you'll partner/buddy up with (no big-time love stories. Keep it G to PG ):

Mornie utúlië plays herself and Boromir, who somehow survived.

Elenriel Greenleaf plays herself and Legolas Greenleaf of the Greenwood who with Gimli has moved to Gondor (see the Appendices)

Lothwen Celebriel plays [i[herself[/i] and Queen Arwen the Evenstar of her people

Sirius Black plays himself and King Aragorn Elessar of Gondor and Arnor

Dark, Queen of Angmar plays herself and Pippin Took, Thain of the Shire and Knight of Gondor

if there are more than nine, I suppose just bring in another character.
