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.

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*

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*

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.
