In 1986 I bought second-hand paperbacks of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, after my sister had been raving about them for years. During my holiday I read them and got drawn into that world. My favorite characters were Sam and Eowyn, both of whom I identified with. Shortly after, I bought brand new beautifully bound versions of the books, and an equally beautifully bound second-hand version of The Silmarillion, although it took me until 2002 to actually read that one.

In spring 2001 I saw the first trailer for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

( And from here on I'll cut for length and pics. )

I'm only turning to lotrips_finders in case of an emergency, so I'm hoping someone reading this will know what fic I'm talking about.

It's a D/s fic in which Elijah wants to gag Dom, who's already got his hands tied, and when Dom asks Elijah how he's supposed to use the safe-word if necessary, Elijah tells Dom to kick him in the balls instead as a sign and sure enough keeps the goods in reach the whole time.

It's a short fic but quite afjljaf lakdjfkja lakjlkaj if you know what I mean, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to faceplant on my keyboard when someone reminds me of the title and author.

[edit] The fic has been found by too_shy!!

Behind the cut you'll find a summary of some of my favorite music videos.

Before you click the cut, there are a couple of things I'd like to point out:

1) If a YouTube link isn't added, it's because I couldn't find one that was posted by the actual vidder.

2) If a link to a downloadable version isn't added, it's because a) I couldn't find it, b) it's not available (anymore), or c) the vidder doesn't want to be linked.

3) Please don't post links in the comments if I probably left them out because of the reasons given at 1), 2b) or 2c).

4) The reason I love a video is purely personal. It's not a matter of how technically complex or artistically amazing a clip is, but what it does for me. If it made me laugh, cry, giggle, smile, jawdrop or run to the shop to buy a complete dvd set.
