altariel1. My journal is called "It's a full life, if a trifle banal" because Garak says it about himself, and it's true. Less so for Garak than for me, I would say, on balance.
2. My subtitle is Altariel's journal because it is, and because I was running out of ideas.
3. My friends page is called "They never told me that in the Obsidian Order" because, again, Garak says it; this time to Bashir when they're tied up together in the thoroughly unslashy Our Man Bashir: "Kiss the girl, get the key. They never told me that in the Obsidian Order." All about spies, you see, Our Man Bashir. ("Enhance my evening" is also something that Garak says to Bashir.)
4. My username is altariel1 because Altariel is the pseud I picked for my Tolkien writing, but when I came to pick an LJ username, 'altariel' had already gone. That '1' really irritates me.
5. My default userpic is the Second Doctor because - well, look at him. "Genius" is something he calls himself, btw. Can't remember what the story is, it's got Ice Warriors in it. Possibly The Ice Warriors?
6. My LJ "name" is Altariel because, again, it's the Tolkien-writing pseud. Which I picked because I was embarrassed to be writing F/E romances rather than stuff about spaceships and interrogations and explosions. And because - whatever the fiction might suggest - Galadriel has been my favourite character in LotR for years. And because I have delusions of grandeur.

Besides, your messianic qualities should ensure that everyone is living to serve the 1.

I think it's cute! It looks really sweet. I liked it. Thought it was intentional up till now... :D

Date: 2004-11-21 03:03 pm (UTC)But the answer to no. 6 really came as a surprise to me: Whatever the fiction might suggest - Galadriel has been my favourite character in LotR for years. Well, your fanfic had actually succeeded very well in implying completely different preferences! But it would be very interesting to see a Galadriel story from your pen (or rather keyboard). I know that you have already written Ring of Water, and I liked it -- it had only one fault: it was too short. ;)
And because I have delusions of grandeur. Or a healthy dose of self-esteem. :)

Date: 2004-11-22 01:50 pm (UTC)In my defence, I must point out that it covered four ages! ;-D There is a very short Galadriel piece that I wrote for a round robin at HA; I think it's up somewhere at HASA. It really is true that Galadriel has been my favourite character for years. And Eowyn. Faramir popped out of nowhere.

Date: 2004-11-23 12:41 pm (UTC)Which round robin was it`? Up to now, I've been shamefully neglecting the HASA writers groups collaborations (according to the proverb, too many cooks spoil the broth etc. *g*), but perhaps I should finally give them a try!
no subject
Date: 2004-11-23 03:07 pm (UTC)The collaborations have been really good, particularly drabbling LotR and so on.

Date: 2004-11-25 04:48 am (UTC)did Galadriel yield to the temptations of power in your depiction of her?
She certainly did. I don't know how far she would have gone, however.
