YayGollum's Many As Well As Achingly Unique Tales Of Middle Earth Outcasts!

[YayGollum]

Ha! Well, that is understandable, Lotesse person. No large deal. I hesitated before making this thread and sticking all of that here at once, but I figured that I might as well, since I was directed here and saw little to dissuade me.

I have a healthy amount of self-confidence as well as evil self-centeredness, sure, but the achingly unique bit was merely a bit of colorful language. As a matter of course, though, tastes inevitably differ. I can offer a shrug of the shoulders as well as an, "oh well."

Also, no efforts were made to convince anyone that I hold any knowledge of the production of cognac, rosewater or otherwise. Within a fact, I pointed out that the stuff was written a while ago, and that I enjoy looking back on past mistakes. But oh well. I am happy to have satisfied your thirst for admonishments for a bumbling new guy, at least.

Okay, I'm not moderator here, but just as one writer speaking to others, you two are WAY over the line.

I don't care of you're teasing or not--your comments have been extremely rude, and completely uncalled for.

[Lotesse]

YayGollum, you know I feel really, really, really bad for how appallingly bitchy I was to you here last night, regarding your writing. I seriously apologise, that was definitely not cool of me to be such a bitch. I mean, I felt so bad that I went back and read the first part of your first story, and it was cute, with the Beornings, I mean I can't finish all your stories because, I mean, I can't get into it at all and fanfic isn't my favourite thing to read, BUT I liked your beornings. And I apologise, and I hope you know I'm really not a mean girl, I just had an "off" night last night I gues...

My, my, such tension in this thread...

Yaygollum, this is indeed the forum where members can post their writings, you've posted a lot in one thread, but it is not a problem.

Lotesse, I don't know how often you visit the Writer's Workshop but feedback on writings is far from rare. There are many stories here that have received feedback and there are several members who actively read and critique other people's writings. Although you have a point that too lenghty texts can discourage prospective readers, but that's up to the writer to see what he wants to put up here.

[OldHippie]

Yay, I offer my undue apologies.

[Tessar]

I believe you mean 'sincere' or something like that, as undue does have the meaning of 'unwarranted'.

[OldHippie]

Oh for cryin out loud I offer my sincerest apologies.

[YayGollum]

No large deal, yo. The chidings as well as amends handed were unexpected as well as gratefully accepted. But then, mayhaps it was merely a couple of slow days.

Towards any who, understandably, were annoyed by the amount tossed in here all at once ---> There's that first person account by the Beorning character, sure, which was my first. After that and starting on Post Five, there are a bunch of bite-sized little things that are first person accounts by pieces of the Beorning's armour. On Post Eight, The Warg And His Orc starts. It's after the last bit of armour stories. I probably should have separated the two sections, at least. oh well. Mayhaps I shall edit my first post to stick this little guide in there? Helpfulness?

Good thing my mom was there at the time, because I turned out to be one of the rare Beornings who was an unhealthy baby. Radagast was there to keep me alive with whatever potions and powers wizards like him have. While he did that, my mom went looking for some particular that would help. She went in bear form so she could sniff it out faster.

Pretty interesting story mechanics already.

Unfortunately for her, there was a group of elves out hunting that day. They shot her without even thinking that she could be a Beorning, but they must not have liked the taste of bear, and went on to hunt something more delicious.

Finally! Elves doing something evil

Since I was the runt of the litter (didn't like wrestling with them and getting beaten up), I learned more from Radagast than most of them. He told me as much as he knew about Middle Earth and it's history. I asked most about the elves, wanting to know as much as I could about them, even though I knew there wasn't much of a chance for me finding my mother's killers.

I like the developing of this intellectual beorning

Well, I, unlike most Beornings, started to get bored with the Vale of Anduin. I was thinking about making a boat to float down the Anduin when we got a visit from some Dwarves. I had always liked Dwarves from what my father and Radagast had to say about them.

Finally, someone who likes Dwarves
Might want to specify that the Anduin is a river, since you speficy the Vale of Anduin

The trip was uneventful. When we arrived, I was given a grand tour of the Lonely Mountain (very impressive). I admired them even more. I didn't really have much of a reason for being there, so I asked to be taught how to make my own weapons.

They tried as well as I expected to teach me, but all I could make was a too-thick club of a sword before I gave up. *holds up his seldomly used sword* They told me that I could stop a sword fight by smashing through my oppenent's sword with it, but that was about all of the good that it could do. They gave me a sheath, and I kept the sword but plannned to get rid of it as soon as I left the Dwarves.

Good place for humor
