In Which She Gives Up and Posts Something. Anything.

I have this... thing... that I've been trying to write. Just some ideas on Rohan in the movie version of The Two Towers (well, mostly the movie, anyway), nothing too fancy or insightful. But it just. won't. cooperate. Stupid, evil writer's block- there are sections that are working well, and other sections that sound good in my brain but refuse to get themselves on a page, and a whole lot of missing connective tissue. Hence the title of this post- I need to get something down, in the hope that it kicks the rest free (I've always liked that sort of nineteenth-century descriptive chapter titling, too- those "In which a rabbit attacks the curate's ankle, and a picnic is ruined by a handkerchief"-type titles).

I'll be throwing around some Old English words (and quotes, later on), but thanks to the limits of my computer knowledge, I'm pretending that I've never heard of accent marks or special characters (all eths and thorns have become "th", which always annoys me but what can you do). Also, this first section (and perhaps the next one) is playing largely off the book version of LotR, but once I get into the characters, I'll be using mostly the movie versions. I'll mention it if I switch back and forth, though.

(no subject)

I'm too tired to type the whole next part of the Rohan/Beowulf thingie tonight, so instead here's a list of the important names in Beowulf that I'll be throwing around (I figure anyone who'll be reading Part II of the thingie will know the LotR stuff, but with Beowulf I'm never sure). WARNING- Spoilers for Beowulf! If you've been waiting your whole life to read a thousand-year-old poem in a dead language but haven't done it yet, and knowing whom everyone is will wreck it for you, stop reading.
