The Character you most want to slap is.......Thorin.

Oh dear, PJ's changes to the character really do not seem to have had a postive effect on Forumshire citizens at all.

Oh. I thought this was some sort of S&M category

Well that might explain why he won hunkiest and this category too!

There you go, Norc! Thorin has been redeemed and the paradox solved.

Sorry? Why what have you done with it?

what? nothing.

And Forumshire just could not seem to make its mnd up as the votes came in, with all of the dwarves save Balin getting at least 1 vote each.
In the end, in what may well be seen as the shock result of the evening, the verdict from Forumshire on who is our Least Favourite Dwarf is.....Thorin.

To different from book Thorin? To young? Too handsome? To central to the film?
I suspect this one might spark some debate.

Freaking posing dramatically every time he was seen on screen.

So sad I had to read up instead of hanging around, but at least I made it to the party!

I'm glad you made it in time for the party. I wanted to say thank you for all of your encouragement with The Needlehole Mysteries and my other writing. You were the first person to review Needlehole when I originally posted it and I really appreciate you sticking with me through all the delays and whatnot.

speaking of, how is it toggling along?

I had to go back and see what I said.
Fangirl from chapter one and I see no reason to stop.

Now go post something.

Council of Odo

Fucking Shrriff department screwed me right up last night. I'm sure they don't arrest Petty for passing out in a wheelie bin.

Look at the state of me now!! Woke up in a ditch in Bree this morning and must have been attacked by a warg or something.

If I don't win best actor in a TV mini series I might go all Charlie Sheen on this place!!

What... the awards have finished already? Didn't even win best unfinished novel. That's bollocks! Actually, I withdraw as I have finished it now... well the first draft.

POOSTICKS!!

Now where's my tigger blood? Yes... TIGGER..that bouncy fucker is gonna get it!!

I didn't win anything either. Why don't you join me and the other loosers and we'll drown our sorrows and partly like it's Roswell '47!!!
{{{And plot our revenge. I've got diplomatic immunity. }}}

{{{Just dont tell anyone about our plans. They must be evil!!!}}}

Ahem. Tigger blood is a bit.... scummy really. Gonna make a cuppa tea instead.

I have to work on a non-fiction writing project for school (not part of a class, but an ongoing research project), so that's taking up a fair bit of my time. Fortunately though I've caught up on most of the stuff I wanted to do after classes ended but couldn't because I was sick, so I'm doing more creative writing now. There should be a Needlehole update soon. The final part of Nora's Birthday Surprise is first on the list.

And thanks for the badgering/encouragement, because I wouldn't be writing without it.

I tried really hard to win best norcer :

I voted for you! Tough category to win though.

Oooo, excellent summary, Norc!

now for real:

Yeah... same here.

Good night, good folks! This has been so much fun! Thank you Petty and Pretty for all your hard work! And thank you Eldo for making a home for all us lovely misfits and nutter, even if it means you have to ((pretend to)) be honorable and sane at times.

Forumshire grouphug time!!

Great summary, Norc! I edited in a few additions, including the link to Kafria's story (she should really think of a title for it ), for the sake of completeness.

Aaaaww, you're very welcome. This thread was incredibly fun. I love when we have so many people online at once and get hundreds of posts in the space of a single day or two.

hi all, i was late getting here due to internet going haywire! Im on bloody O2 & its a pile of crap. Anyhow, I didnt win anything either but I dont mind! It was just great being a part of it all, & it has been a lot of fun! If you wanna join me in my special "one night only", totally unrespectable "Hole",where we can get up to all sorts of deviant things,like continuous chocolate gorging,strange shaped vegetable handling & an ungodly glut of Honey cocktail "sliders", then you are most welcome! I can also provide sharp utensils & we can trim my bush outside into unearthly & scarey designs,as a party game. Well done Petty & co. for the wonderful night out, & congrats to all the nominated winners!
