Hello, friends!
I have not been particularly active lately what with #adulting and all that, so I wanted to pop in and hang out with you all for a little bit. <3333
This is a modified blog tag that I’m borrowing from the lovely Sarah Baran at TheSarcasticElf.com (seriously, if you don’t follow her blog, go do that right now; it’s full of wit, sarcasm, profoundness, fan art, and everything writerly and bookish. In other words, it’s a gold mine). I wanted to try it, and I thought it’d be fun to involve my KP buddies, too. 😀
It’s our chance to create our own Fellowship of the Ring! I’m changing it slightly, so now, we have to choose a character from our current WIP(s) to fill each spot in Tolkien’s crew based upon certain qualifications. Oh, and you get to be the ring-bearer. 😉
Choose one character for each of the following positions:
1. Ring-bearer (this is you): which race would you be? Elf, dwarf, human, or hobbit?
2. Gandalf: a wise and/or powerful mentor-type character
3. Aragorn: a character who’s good at surviving
4. Boromir: a character who makes bad choices/mistakes but has a good heart
5. Gimli: a stubborn character
6. Legolas: a talented character
7. Pippin: a seemingly “useless” character that ends up surprising everyone
8. Merry: a small/weak character who has great courage
9. Sam: a loyal character who never, ever, ever gives up
I’m super excited to get a peek into everyone’s WIPs! (And I fully expect to adopt every character listed as a Boromir… I have a soft spot for characters like that…)
Going to tag some of people, but if you see this and want to join in, please feel free! The more, the merrier! 😉

And I subscribed to Sarah’s blog several months back. Her posts are creepily relatable… *shifting eyes* I remember looking through her archives and finding her own Fellowship of the Ring gang.
I’ll be sure to put my own on here soon. 😉 Thank you for the topic!

Thanks for the awesome topic! I don’t think I’ve actually met you yet, so Hi! 🙂
Ok, so I actually haven’t seen LOTR XD
1. Ring-bearer (this is you): which race would you be? Elf, dwarf, human, or hobbit?
I’d be human.
2. Gandalf: a wise and/or powerful mentor-type character
Jonathon Ledger
3. Aragorn: a character who’s good at surviving
Kaine
4. Boromir: a character who makes bad choices/mistakes but has a good heart
Keiryn
5. Gimli: a stubborn character
Martha I think? Lesli can be too.
6. Legolas: a talented character
Layson
7. Pippin: a seemingly “useless” character that ends up surprising everyone
Maylee! (She’s in my pfp)
8. Merry: a small/weak character who has great courage
Everly
9. Sam: a loyal character who never, ever, ever gives up
Layson again… can I pick him twice?
Kinda disappointed my MC didn’t have a place here XD
I suppose that’s because his section of the story is more of slice of life style, and his strength is encouraging others to be strong.
へびは かっこいい です！
@lydia-s GASP THIS LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN AGH!! Also I’m picking from my 8 MCs obviously!!
1. Ringbearer
OOF! So I do luv being human…but I also just luv the elves sooo yea XD
2. Gandalf
HMM…Probably Arabella!
3. Aragorn
I wasn’t sure for this one, but then I thought of Aragorn just as Aragorn as not as the way this one was describe, and was like, Oh, Grimm XD.
4. Boromir
Agh…hmmm This ones a little thought because it’s a toss up between Corvina and November.
5. Gimli
Oh definitely Nyx XD
6. Legolas
Oof…can we choose charries twice cuz this would be Lyn but she’s also another Charrie on this list XD
7. Pippin

Aww Mathew 😭😭 so sweet. He’s my favorite of all your charries
へびは かっこいい です！
Hello Lydia! I’m rather new on here so I don’t think I’ve met you before! Great topic! This is going to be really fun!
I decided to use characters from my Viking/Nordic/Medieval trilogy.
1. Ring bearer: I would be a hobbit. I love their homes and their beautiful gardens!!
2. Gandalf: Ethando Drachensted. (47) He is my MC’s Uncle and someone she really looks up to.
3. Aragorn: Jonathan Rennesvaire, (18) my MC’s friend. Jon has many crazy things happen to him but he never dies. (One time he slips off a mountain path, falls over fifty feet into icy snow, and lands in some wild people’s animal trap. After a few weeks he’s normal. 😀 )
4. Boromir: Malcolm Rennesvaire, (19) Jon’s cousin, who is reckless and blunt, but deep down he has a kind heart once you break through the ice.
5. Gimli: Adele Drachensted (24). She is newly married and determined to follow her husband anywhere, even on a treacherous journey that could end in disaster.
6. Legolas: Talathia (no last name yet) (22) She is skilled in archery and knife throwing.
7. Pippin: The MC Lana Drachensted (16). Her Uncle Ethando wants her to come along on a dangerous mission, but she’s not sure why. Through out the book she struggles with feeling useless and it’s not until the end that she finds out why she was needed.
8. Merry: Henry Drachensted (15), Lana’s brother. He is generally a strong boy but in this book he is wounded a number of times and once hit with a poisoned arrow which causes him to become weak and sickly. He has great courage though and presses on despite his pain.
9. Sam: Lillian Orien (17), a young girl who’s parents have disappeared and who’s brother makes a lot of mistakes but she keeps forgiving him and never gives up searching for the rest of her family.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
@felicity I NEED TO READ THIS!! And I already love Henry. And JON…..YESSSS

I’m going to go with my Biblical fantasy project this time around; it’s a retelling of David. 🙂
Ring-bearer: I’d be an elf by choice but probably a hobbit due to my personality and size. I’m a homebody😂
Gandalf: Michael, the prophet to Aria. He’s the Samuel of my story.
Aragorn: Austin and Rodney (my Uriah and Joab respectively).
Boromir: Darius Wentworth, king of Aria (my Saul). My poor tortured baby…😌
Gimli: Adelaide Wentworth, my Michal. The amount of spunk in this girl… *shakes head disapprovingly*
Legolas: Adrian Wentworth, my Jonathan. The only thing he’s not good at is sitting still.
Pippin: Emmett Carlton, my David. He was born without his right arm, so no one expects anything out of him.
Merry: Maybe Jenny, my Bathsheba… Or Adelaide. She’s definitely brave (sometimes too much for her own good).
Sam: Tony, my Benaiah. I love this guy; he’s so faithful and genuine.
@lydia-s GASP ur story sounds so good!! I luv David!! And David allegories always sound sooo cool!! I’d had an idea for a fantasy one myself (along with a Moses one)
AGH EMMETT 😭 AHHHHHH I ALREADY ADORE HIM!
AND UGH ADRIAN…
Jonathan and David in the Bible are just…. MY HEART LIKE HONESTLY… 😭
Their story is the one that truly breaks my heart probably the most out of all the stories in the Bible I have to be honest because their brotherhood was just….ugh.
I have a best friend JUST like that. Like, she’s so much like my sister, I call her that sometimes, and I just…can’t imagine life without her.

Nobody blames you… yes, Henry’s the youngest of the group! Well, same thing happened to someone in the story already. 😀 Her poor heart is going through roller coasters each time he almost dies.
cuz that story is the best of him falling of the mountain and just… *chef’s kiss*
😂😂 I’ll tell him you like that part of his story.
*tells Jon*
*He bows, a smirking grin on his face. “It wasn’t all that romantic to live through, but I suppose being a superhero can be fun sometimes.” *
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Yeah, thank you for popping in! I read some of your writing in another topic, and I really enjoyed it. 🙂 It’s nice to meet you!
@freedomwriter76
FREEDOOOOOOOMMMM!!! *hugs you back* So glad to be chatting with you again! And I had a lovely Christmas, thanks for asking! How about you?
lol No problem! I’ve only ever listened to it. It’s such a tome that opening it feels really daunting. I’ve never finished it myself🙈 Hopefully I can do that someday!
4. Riker Schind
My favorite makes his appearance!!! XDXDXD He’s one of the characters I thought/hoped would end up here. I’ve missed him.
Hi! I haven’t been particularly active lately, so I’ve missed meeting a lot of people. It’s nice to meet you!!
I’ve never watched it either, actually. I’ve only listened to my mom read the book aloud. It was amazing, tho!
I feel you about the MC. Sometimes they’re hard to place! In the fellowship for my biblical fantasy WIP, the MC ended up being Pippin.😂
Hi! I’m Arien, I don’t think we’ve met before. Thanks for tagging me!
I have like 3 or 4 WIPs that I’ll use characters from for this, if that’s okay.
1. Ringbearer
Yay, I’m the ringbearer! I wouldn’t miss the chance be an Elf.
2. Gandalf
Cronas, the wizard mentor from the yet-unwritten Bloodstone Chronicles
3. Aragorn
Durwin, from A Dream Come True
4. Boromir
Dirk, from Bloodstone
5. Gimli
Aedan from Dream or Raana from Bloodstone
6. Legolas
Ruby from Swallowtail Summer
7. Pippin
Elinor from Dream
8. Merry
Darren from Bloodstone
9. Sam
Archer from Bloodstone and Aedan from Dream
Be brave. Be strong. Be bold.
