Member of the Month interview
-an interview with Fíriel
How did you find CoE?
Hmm. I can’t remember, it was so long ago… I do remember coming for the Sindarin lessons at first.
What are your favourite areas of the site?
My fave areas (beside the Languages section!) are the Gallery, and the Last Homely House, where I can admire all the pretty things, and occasionally try my hand at making something.
How often do you visit CoE?
I check in once a day, but I fully ensconce myself at COE during the weekend.
How many times have you read the books?
LOTR, I’ve read three times, I think. However, there are parts of The Silmarillion I’ve read over and over again.
Who is your favourite LOTR character?
Faramir and Pippin — I like them both for many different reasons, although they share the same courage that I admire.
Do you have a favourite scene from the trilogy?
The Mines of Moria scenes, because of the action and its aftermath, and of course, Frodo, Sam, and Gollum’s scenes at Mount Doom — unforgettable. However, the _single most memorable and poignant scene_ for me is from TTT, when even the boys of the Rohirrim prepared for battle.
What character left out of the films do you miss most?
Book Faramir 😉 Otherwise, I can’t say I’ve really missed anybody.
Do you know any Sindarin or Quenya?
I know Sindarin well enough, so I help out in the Languages section of COE. I also know a smattering of Quenya.
What are you looking forward most to in ROTK: EE?
More scenes exploring the tensions during the Siege of Minas Tirith, and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, or more scenes involving Faramir, Éowyn, and the hobbits. Anything is good enough, for I really don’t want the cinematic experiences to end just yet. 🙂
