Velox Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Are we allowed to enter a songfic, if thats the term? I was thinking of using one of Tolkein's poems as a backdropYes, songfics are fine. What if you don't know where quotes come from? I'm considering using the quote "It must be destroyed", but I only remember that quote from an ad.You'll have to try to find it -- we need proof that it's from LotR/the Hobbit, sorry. If it is from the trailer, though, that's fine; just say so.

WriterofReapers Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have another question...I know we need to say what chapter the quote comes from, but where should we do that? If a character says the quote, should we insert the citation right then and there, or wait until the end, restate the quote, and then tell where it came from?I'm sure I'm over analyzing this, but I can't help myself. ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iku Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Will this become canon? (I am unsure, but i don't think it's likely) - just to clarify.

Zaxvo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) So the quote must come from either the Lord of the Rings trilogy or from The Hobbit? Hence the silmarallion (sp?) is off-limits?Edit: Also, what constitues a quote? If I had the term "eleventy-one" in my story, would that be enough? Does it have to be a full sentence? A phrase?

Velox Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 The song can be from either to count for your LotR quote.You can use any song you want and write a songfic about it, but you'll have to use another LotR quote then.

Click Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've got three awesome ideas that I'm trying to decide on, but one depends on a question: Are stories posted on other sites okay then? The rules only say BZP. After that, it leaves it down to a conflict in the mind, another conflict in the mind, another way, with action, or mostly action. I'm thinking about the second because mental conflicts won the last contest. I'm not sure, so feel free to post opinions. ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Okay, I've made my decision, but would it be okay if I posted this on another site after it's done? If not, I have another idea, but that one I need to save. Also, is it okay if I can only find the book/movie of the quote? I've looked everywhere, but can't find what scene it's in.And don't you deny that mental conflict wins, I looked at each one that won the last contest, and with the exception of one story, ALL were mental conflicts.

I'm trying to get a hold of the movie to find out though. Thanks!There's the quote "The world is changed" which happens at the very beginning of the first movie, the full quote being:"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all. "Not sure if that's the quote you mean, but that's one I could find in the Fellowship.As to your original question, we request that you do not use stories posted on other sites but as 5 5's said, you may post it anywhere you'd like after the contest is over.@ Nuile, I will PM you.
