DemonGoddess Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Got to thinking about it, LotR and its universe is unique. There are so many different ways to categorize the whole thing. What I was thinking is of course maintaining where it shows Books and Movies, but in the books section, have a few ways of going about it. For example, could set it up by AGE for books, or by book/book series. Age setup would look something like this pre-trees/trees First Age Second Age Third Age Fourth Age and later Book setup would be something like this Silmarillion History of Middle Earth series The Hobbit Lord of the Rings Trilogy In other words, stories that belong to those specific times/ages or book series would go under those subcats as they are constructed. Bear in mind this is for in the future, you won't be seeing this for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest orleans Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 This setup looks really nice. If you actually create it like that, then there will be much more order. And it would be easier to find stories too. What about stories that are completely AU and don't fit into either section? I have read some where the characters are for example taken from Middle-Earth into the Modern World.... will there be an extra section for such stories as well? As I said in my post in you LJ, you *are* a genius.

DemonGoddess Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 like I said, not a genius, just a geek those would be primary, with the other standard subcategories, followed by pairings categories. so, there would be an AU section for each primary category. There are also multi age stories (which would also span the books), so I'm thinking there should be something to allow for that as well ANYWAY. Something I've noticed looking through the LotR book section here, is that there are fics that actually belong in the movie section. As we all know, there was a great deal of deviation from book to movie. Combination of characters, elimination of character, twisting of and addition of events (like the Battle of Helm's Deep, no elves in that battle but for Legolas), skipping of entire segments (Tom Bombadil and the Barrowwights come to mind there). I ramble though...it'll be nice to be able to eventually have all that sorted out where it actually belongs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darma Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Age setup would look something like thispre-trees/trees First Age Second Age Third Age Fourth Age and later I like this. those would be primary, with the other standard subcategories, followed by pairings categories. And I like this even better! But I'm also sure that whatever you decide is going to be great.I'm also glad that someone is showing some interest in LoTR section. for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 hehe thanks, I've been an LotR fan for YEARS and years. Started reading the books when I was around seven or eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGoddess Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 This is what I've come up with so far.... let me know what you think Working project I'm not done with it, but the primary set up is complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
