Alternative title

Varda-Me · 02-17-2002, 02:36 AM

If you were the author of LoTR, would you name it Lord of the Rings? If not, what would be your alternative chosen title? In other words, what would you call LoTR if it weren't LoTR? Just wondering.....

Evenstar · 02-17-2002, 03:11 AM

Cat in a Hat....whoops sorry...wrong book!!! I would probably call it 'There and Back again' like Bilbo did!!

Nibs · 02-17-2002, 03:28 AM

Possible alternatives:

Lure of the Ring
Ring Thing
Ringin' in the Rain
Ringless
This Gold Coin Has a Hole in It! (yuk yuk)
Fatal Distraction (get it? Gates of Mordor, RotK?)
West Ring
Who Wants to Be Dark Lord of Middle-Earth?

More to come...
