Oh, Siri, we'll need your help!!! Please stay!! Anyone who has a scanner can do the music, but I'd see if you can get it in sheet music, otherwise you can go to Sheet Music Downloads at Musicnotes.com
I can do the Elven lessons, but it will be from The Grey Company, unless someone else wants to do Quenya or Sindarin.

it doesn't seem to be very little anymore. :lol:SiriCerasi said:ok yeah im so lost... anyway i guess ill leave here for a while and let you guys figure this out and write your little book
but you don't wanna help?
please???okay, I'll let you tackle the elvish lessons, alasse. as much as I'd like to learn it's just too much at the moment. ^_^ but I'm currently reading a biography on Tolkien, and if you would like me to write or find something on the origins of his language then I'd be happy too!
I've actually started to take this very seriously!
so I'm reading the aforementioned biography, which is actually very good (it's "J. R. R. Tolkein: A Biography" by Humphrey Carpenter, it you wanted to know. ), and I've ordered several of those "The Making Of" books from the library so we can get those conceptual designs. ^_^'I have a scanner but no LOTR sheet music. -_-

Lol, funny cause i have sheet music for Gollums Song, but no scanner. The Elvish lessons are not exactly Tolkien elvish, cause i don't know Quenya or Sindarin. Where is everyone? They need to be here for the book part deployment. Uh if that makes sense.

have you been to that one elvish website? I'm pretty sure they've got an introduction to either Quenya or Sindarin, if you ever need it. here's the link! ardalambion.com

OI, thanks. I'll compile Elvish from there then, it'll be more to the book then. So we've got Elvish, Nad's gonna do the quotes, Kate are you going to do backround/bio on Tolkien? And Siri, please come back, we'll need help!

yeah, I think I can do the author stuff. (half of my info will be from that book I'm reading! :lol
one thing I think is cool is that while he was teaching at Oxford before the war, his fiancee lived in Warwick, and he visited her and they walked around. and my cousin lives in warwick! :lol:

Oh, that's kool! What language should I do though? Theres Quenya and Sindarin, but also Black Speech and others. Theres also the translation of poems and songs, A Elbereth Gilthoniel. Too many choices. Lol.
a.k.a.Kate_Jones
Cadet
wow, that IS a lot! I've never really looked around, I tried to read the introduction once but it gave me a headache. :lol:
start with one of the elvish ones first, and then we can do The Black Speech and the others later (I'm now visualising the title: "The Languages Of Middle-Earth" :lol

Ok, I think I'll post A Elbereth Gilthoniel too. But I'll start with Sindarin, move on to Quenya. THis book might take a while to write/put together.

oh, I'm so proud of myself, I read the intro! :lol:
but yeah, it'll take a while, but we have all the time in the world! ^_^

Good point! Man this is a lot to cover! I have both a scanner and all the music that is out for Lord of the Rings, so we are definately set there. I can work on some cast bios. I the two "making of" books by Brian Sibley, so I'll use that for info. anything else for now?
Sindarian would be the best for now Alasse, it is used more in the movies.

Yeah, Sindarin it is. And I found a bunch of J.R.R's quotes. I have one om my sig now.

Teehee, that sounds good. So should we post the parts we've made, or PM them to someone who will compile them?
I think either would be fine. If someone wants to take the task of getting them and editing overall then posting for others to comment on I think that would be great, but for now on, let's talk about the book in the Construction Zone so this thread will open up again! I will be in General Fan Fic!
