All those new spoilery pics from the Extended TTT of Boromir and Faramir have me really wanting to see Sean in a movie/series/miniseries of Boromir's adventures as protector of Gondor, prior to the whole Ring mess. It would probably end up being battle after battle, broken up by bonding time with his men and Faramir, with the occasional trip to Rohan, since the poor guy never got to have much of a life. So I guess it would be Sharpe, in armor, with fewer disposable love interests. Sounds good to me. And get Fran Walsh to write it, and the slashiness that would undoubtedly result would take care of the love interest problem.

Well, if the movies can be most comfortably approached as a fanfic treatment of the books, as some have said, what's wrong with wanting a Boromir-focused prequel? Such a lovely thought.

Bwahahaha! Love the icon!

SCREAM! A 'Grifters' icon! I don't know you but you rock! (Hi, I'm Michelle...)

Thanks! It was made for me by the fabulous cruisedirector.

You are a fucking genius. What a great idea! If we can't have the film, we should at least write the fanfic.

[ealgylden.livejournal.com]

It just seems like such a natural! All those manly warriors bonding (and possible brotherslash, if you're terribly corrupt. Which I am). All the angst and heroics and kickass battle scenes, with occasional Ranger-type excursions. Boromir surrounded by the ones he loves best (except Aragorn, but oh well) and not yet getting gnawed on by that stupid piece of jewelry, so he gets to be brave and beautiful with just the normal amount of "everything depends on me" stress (as it were). Faramir getting to actually do stuff... Wouldn't it be fabulous? *g*

[cruisedirector]

Brotherslash. Ahem. I do have an unfinished Faraboro epic with ashinae that we keep postponing because we can't figure out how to write a semi-happy ending and we want one, rather than pure excruciating angst. But YES on the heroics and kickass battle scenes and being brave and beautiful. We should start a community for this!

If you guys manage to pull off a semi-happy ending to a Faraboro epic, I'll be your devoted slave. But even excruciating angst would be... well, not good, exactly, but good. Heh, that was articulate. *g*

[cruisedirector]

I don't want any more excruciating Boromir angst! He has enough angst! *sobs* I want him to have been happy with Faramir, since he and Aragorn were always doomed. Actually writing that story has been most instructive in why incest is a bad idea. *g*

[ealgylden.livejournal.com]

Ha! Don't you love fic-logic? "Obviously it's bad, Boromir's getting stuck with acres of angst again!" Poor guy just cannot catch a break.

I believe this is where I pledge to you my undying love and affection. ^_^

[ealgylden.livejournal.com]

Hee! See, world, we Boromir fans are easy to please! *G*

[caras-galadhon.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. There is nothing that can't be improved with a little lot of slashy Boromir.

Take note, New Line! More slashy!Boromir flashbacks for TTT and RotK!

[lamath.livejournal.com]

Mmm... Boromir-focused sequel... I'll give a cookie (and lots of love) to someone who'll write that in fanfic form... ;-)

[ealgylden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it seems like a natural to me. So much potential there... If you find a bribeable author, I'll help bribe! *g*

Er... Maybe I shouldn't pimp my own stuff, and it's not quite what you're looking for, but savageseraph and I have long-term plans for a Dark!Aragorn AU (*long-suffering sigh* Did I mention I don't do AUs?) that should feature a LOT of Boromir and Faramir. We just have to, um, finish some other stuff first. *cries*

[ealgylden.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Dark!Aragorn with lots of Boromir and Faramir sounds good to me! Especially if it's written by you and your Wicked Sister. *g* I look forward to it, whenever you guys get a chance to write it (no pressure, though. The epistolary thingie could go on forever, and I'd be happy. Though I doubt you guys would be).

[caras-galadhon.livejournal.com]

*SMOOCH* Thank you. You're wonderful to say that.

(no pressure, though. The epistolary thingie could go on forever, and I'd be happy. Though I doubt you guys would be).
Thanks. *G* I can't say I see the end in sight really soon, which is both thrilling and disturbing. I believe some part of me is still wailing, as it drowns, "But I don't write long pieces! Glub, glub."
