Jan. 9th, 2010 12:10 pmOK - I vented my spleen plenty last Saturday at the expense of the LOTRFF archive. I am now here to eat my words - more or less - and do it gladly.
Over the week, I spent time communicating with the admin of that archive, Adora (no idea if she's on LJ or not) and, to my very great surprise, found her a very approachable, very reasonable person who worked very hard to help me solve my log-in issues. I've dealt with archive admins before (or, rather, been beat over the head, ignored or just generally abused by archive admins before) but never before with one who carried out the duties of her position with such grace, skill and patience. So I take back all the bad stuff I wrote about LOTRFF. Adora and I continue to scratch our respective heads over why, on my system, all story texts come out center-justified, but that is something I can live with (especially knowing that my system is the only screwy one that displays them in that manner.)
That said (and now that my conscience is clear,) here is the final chapter to this tale. Something tells me I'm gonna be re-reading The Silmarillion for more tales either left with endings up in the air or which Tolkien told only in the barest, most minimal terms. Not to mention I'll start digging through HoME too now. What a huge mythos is at my feet!!
Anyhoo... enjoy!
