-an interview with iLikeLOTRaLittle2much

How did you find CoE?
I was always on the look out for a good LOTR site, and I’d always find myself coming back to CoE for different reasons, but I didn’t actually join until quite some time after. Finally, I just gave in and joined… and now I wonder how I made it as long as I did without an account, LoL.

What are your duties here at CoE?
I mod the Casting Forum, Games Forum, and I’m the Head of Nessa – all of which I enjoy a little more than I should, considering it’s supposed to be “work” and all. 😉

What are your favourite areas of the site?
The Forum has always been my first love, but I also love the Gallery (who doesn’t?) and Elrond’s Library. I’m more likely to come look up any LOTR question I may have here than in the actual book, LoL. Go figure.

How often do you visit CoE?
Everyday, for the most part. It’s a tad bit addicting.

How many times have you read the books?
I’m almost done with #4. Or, wait… 5 maybe. You know, I honestly am not sure anymore. That’s kinda sad.

Who is your favourite LOTR character?
Galadriel. She’s enamored me since I first saw her in Fellowship of the Ring. She’s everything I could ever want in a character, or could ever want to be myself. She’s beautiful, wise, learned, perceptive, and that whole “Lady of Light” thing is a big plus for me, too. Not to mention her rulership over Lothlorien, which happens to be my favorite place in Middle Earth. She’s just cool in general. But Aragorn and Sam are a close second.

Do you have a favourite scene from the trilogy?
From FOTR, the scene where the Fellowship meets Galadriel and the entire Amon Hen sequence have always stood out to me. Sometimes I’ll go back and watch just from where the Fellowship enters Lothlorien through the end. It never gets old for me. As for TTT, the part where Elrond is talking with Arwen about her future if she stays in Middle Earth is wonderful. That whole situation is just so bitter-sweet and has this enthrallingly cynical beauty that I just love. When it comes to ROTK, it’d be easier to just say the movie as a whole. But, if you must know, I’d probably have to go with the Coronation and Gondor bowing to the Hobbits, Sammath Naur (including outside on Mt. Doom with Sam and Frodo’s little chat), the Hobbits at the Green Dragon when they return to the Shire, and everything about the Grey Havens. There are many more, but those are just the highlights.

What character left out of the films do you miss most?
Hmm… that’s a toughy. I’m going to go with Beregond, though. He was a neat guy.

Do you know any Sindarin or Quenya?
Not yet, but I really want to try Sindarin. As a matter of fact, I remember now that that was the reason I joined in the first place. I went through this stage where I really really wanted to learn Elvish, and I had heard a lot of good things about CoE. So I join and all that good stuff, but I completely forgot about Elvish when I saw everything else this site had to offer. Perhaps I’ll get to it eventually.

What are you looking forward most to in ROTK: EE?
Call me unoriginal, but definitely the House of Healing. That was one of my absolute favorite parts in the book. But, really, anything extra will make me just as happy as can be.

Short Bio
Hello, all. My name is Christy (more commonly known as “little2”) and I’m the Casting/Games Mod and Nessa Head here at CoE. I’m 15, going into the 10th grade, and I live in Alabama here in the good ‘ole USA. Aside from wasting away my years here on CoE 😉 my hobbies include dance, acting, singing, and just about anything else that involves the stage. I practically grew up on stage to begin with because my parents are in the music business and I’ve spent my entire life on the road doing that sort of thing. Oh, yes… and TPAMing. But we won’t get into that, LoL. 😉 Well, that about covers it for me, and I hope to see you around. It’s been great to work with and for each and every one of you guys and I thank you all for everything you contribute to and make this site. 🙂
