Just a few notes:

ashinae-- Do not write to me to tell me that my Boromir vids (and stories, for that matter) would be better with Legolas. There is a reason they have Boromir in them, featured so strongly: they are about Boromir.
-- Not everybody thinks that Legolas is the star of Lord of the Rings. I'm open-minded enough to understand that there are people out there who do not see Boromir for the multifaceted (sexyashell) character that he is. I can accept this. So please respect my decision for picking Boromir as my favourite character.
-- I believe in the book. There are a lot of times I like the Fellowship movie better, actually, most times, but I believe in the book, too, particularly for Two Towers. Therefore, I believe in Legolas/Gimli. Call me heretical if you will, but I'm more fond of the Professor's vision of these characters than I am of Peter Jackson's. Legolas had a personality and Gimli was a lot less clownish.
-- The world does not revolve around the frelling Elf.
-- There is a reason I write and vid about Boromir. I like him. A lot. I like Sean Bean. A lot. I am not wasting my time and talent. I am doing stuff I love. I do not find perfect!pretty!movie!Legolas to be a particularly interesting character. There isn't much going on there. Boromir has a larger role in Fellowship and, ultimately, a far more interesting character arc.
-- Please. If you want the Legolas stuff so badly (minus the Gimli, because [sarcasm] god forbid people could actually like the Dwarf [/sarcasm]), go find the Legolas/Elf-centric Yahoo groups. Go look up the A/L slash that's out there, believe me, there's a lot of it. Write it yourself. Ask vidders how they make vids, and make your own.
My name is Ashinae, and I'm a Boromiraholic, and no amount of pretty Elf boy is gonna change that.
Good night.

I agree about the Legolas/Gimli. It's one of hte reasons I oppose Aragorn/Legolas so much. I keep thinking "now, what is Gimli going to say about THAT?" Also, I've found, most Legolas fans are only fans because, and I quote, "ORLAnDo ISS sOO H00TT@!" Yeah, I know there are fans who can type and probably formulate a real response, but the people who only like LOTR becuase of Orlando, well...but I'm not going to rant in someone else's LJ. :p
And there is never, ever, anything wrong with doing Boromir. Boromir rocks. Boromir is the best. Boromir whoops ass. Just because he dies and that frelling elf doesn't...grrrrr...

I don't imagine that he'd say much at all. Rather, he'd chop Aragorn off at the knees. Heh.

Yeah. It's not, "He has a remarkable character arc, full of angst, but also this incredible grace of spirit. And a multi-dimensional personality. You can really see the depth there, and the growth as well. A wonderful character." Um, no. I'll admit that I am a fan of book!Legolas, who, you know, did stuff. Said stuff. But even book-verse, there isn't that much going on with him! He's just kind of there. And only interesting when he's playing off Gimli. *snuggles Gimli*
but the people who only like LOTR becuase of Orlando, well...but I'm not going to rant in someone else's LJ. :p
I fully, deeply, truly understand you. And I think that's all that needs be said there, yes? *G*
