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.

Date: 2003-05-02 03:07 pm (UTC)That's become my mantra with these e-mails. And, yeah, it's plural here. Sigh. So annoying :)
And, honestly, wouldn't a person think that if any Boromir-focused artist wanted to write/draw/vid Legolas, they would??
(Besides, Boromir does have more screen-time; there isn't a lot of depth there to make Legolas vids with just Fellowship)
