1. Great taste or less filling? Taste! Nothing saying you can't have as many of the tasty thing as you want until you're full...
2. What Tolkien character would you vote for to be a Plaza admin? Nerdanel. She raised seven sons and put up with Fëanor, she'd get some shire done!

1. Great taste or less filling? Taste. Sushi, for example. Delicious, but doesn't always fill me up.

I imagine he'd be a "hands off the wheel/less is more" sort of admin, but completely dedicated behind the scenes to keep the Plaza a nice refuge for all travelers...whether you liked food or rest, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just staring off blankly into space.

Create a line of deodorant or perfume based off of a Tolkien character. Breath of Arda, by Manwë
If you had a theme song, what would it be? It could be Minas Tirith by Howard Shore (RotK Soundtrack). The slow, ominous start, then the battle of conflicting moods, is a good metaphor for my life so far, and the epic and triumphant place the song goes to by the end would be a good trajectory to follow.

Absolutely a trifle. The light but enduring Jelly layer of the elves. The rich, solid cream of the dwarves. Men are the Chocolate, sweet, but they melt like the mortals they are. The fruit layer of the Ents. A light sprinkling of Hobbits. Stud with Istari throughout.

3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see?

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) After a hearty writing of posts, my list of posts-to-write has gone down to zero. 
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? Eh, not sure I'd even want to travel far, only to some local (Latvian) forests for orienteering, though the organisers had come up with how to run it in accordance with restrictions before those were lifted.
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? Not sure what to think as I haven't really paid too much attention to it. Maybe should?

Went out to dinner at one of my favorite places with my aunt and uncle. First time going out with people and being able to sit in at a restaurant in a while.

I was planning a trip to Glacier National Park before everything got shut down. So I would say there, if by day you mean a full 24 hours :D

I certainly am going to watch it, I haven't been getting extremely high hopes, just from what the trend is in the industry. I'm not even sure what the details are, it's supposed to be set in Numenor and the 2nd Age if I'm not mistaken...but sounds like they'll have to invent a lot of characters for it.

I'm not even sure what the details are, it's supposed to be set in Numenor and the 2nd Age if I'm not mistaken...but sounds like they'll have to invent a lot of characters for it.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) Well yesterday was a bit shire and just got up, but really did enjoy my cup of tea, so..
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? Egypt! Though not this time of year, yikes. Iceland if it had to be now, or Rome.
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? I am cautiously optimistic. I just want more of the world really.

Yesterday my one week old nephew had a successful open heart surgery. Pretty hard to top that :)

The Scottish Highlands

I am somewhat pessimistic about it, but we'll see how it goes. There's no one thing I'm dying to see them try their hand at.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) Yesterday, I took my dog for a walk just before it rained, and it started drizzling toward the end of our walk. It was a nice relief from some of the heat we've been having.
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? I dream regularly (at least once a month) about going back to Spain, specifically Barcelona. I also am dying to get back to Korea sometime in the next couple of years.
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? I haven't paid much attention to its development. Basically, I just hope they don't Fredegar it up.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started)
So yesterday (because it's only 9:30 am for me and I *just* finished having caffeine) was an exercise in heartbreak and frustration, but Plaza Discord kept my laughing between the tears, and the grand finale yesterday was this moment:

Ireland and Norway, to dig up some elusive family history.

Honestly I'll be thrilled if it actually FEELS like Middle-earth. Not Game of Thrones.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) Yesterday my parents left after being here for a week (and I love them but) the sitting alone for a couple of hours after the kids went to sleep was soooo relaxing.
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? I would do a European pub crawl probably. I've never been outside the US and Canada, so I'd love to cross the pond.
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? I'm pessimistic but honestly I haven't heard much about it. I heard they were making a sort of original story though, so I hope they minimize the fan service of adding known characters.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) I finally managed to get a sub 10 minute mile yesterday after being sidelined with a knee injury (for context I’m marathon training for a race in October)
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? I’d love to go on a hiking trip in the Andes, or maybe a hiking trip around Iceland, basically hiking and camping
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? I’m not confident whatsoever. The Hobbit trilogy showed how easy it can be to destroy Tolkien and turn it into something cheesy and bad. I know it’s different people involved but they’re working on a disadvantage right now.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started) Yesterday kinda sucked, but my favorite thing is that I got through most of my to-do list of stressful things I have to handle this week, so today should be more relaxing. I might start mucking around with Scrivener, which a friend recommended as useful for outlining and easy to restructure with.
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? If "you could travel anywhere in the world" means money is no object, I would take advantage of this clause in the hypothetical to finally visit the UK, which I've wanted to do for more than a decade.
3. What do you think about the upcoming Middle-earth series on Amazon? Is there any event or character you're hoping to see? I'm deliberately keeping my expectations low (although that didn't really work for The Hobbit: "I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed"), but I would love to see a big budget onscreen version of Númenor. It would be weird for Númenor not to appear over the course of five seasons of Second Age content.

1. What was your favourite thing you did today, or the best thing that happened to you today? (Or yesterday if your day only just started)I have not being doing a lot today as of yet so I'm going to go with having my breakfast; croissant and vanilla latte. (NOMNOM!) I was a not feeling well yesterday, so I'm going to have to stick with today. Nothing interesting though, as I'm not feeling great today either.
2. If the virus didn't exist and you could travel anywhere in the world for a holiday right now, where would you go? My whole family was having a big celebration for my mom's 60th in the Lake District in England this July,but yeah that had to be cancelled. I was really looking forward to it, I haven't seen most of them for a while as I am curreently living in US and they in Europe, oh and I love England.

1. What's your favorite kind of chicken? (Chicken for eating, or if you're a weirdo like me who *raises* chickens, favorite breed. Or both!)
2. Have you ever had a near-fae experience? (Like back in November when I was driving to a NaNo Thing and the wind was doing weird swirly things in the road and I *swear* I almost got sucked into a fae portal. Kinda regretting missing out on the pandemic now.)
3. Should @Thalionwen forgive Taethowen for touching Orco (@Dwarrow Elf) in a completely non-romantic way? (relevant posts: Number 1, Number 2) (Yes, I know I'm going to get eaten alive for this question.)
(Also shout-out to @Bïfrøst without whom I could not have pulled off the Discord Trick in the first place
)
@Dwim Nice! I found out a couple years ago that I apparently have some first cousins in Ireland. My paternal grandmother apparently had a baby out-of-wedlock before she emigrated to the US. I have no way to contact any of them though, because I'm pretty much estranged from my dad's side of the family now. >_>

2. Have you ever had a near-fae experience? Hmm not that I remember, I mean I had seen plenty of dustdevils, but never thought they were a fae-portal..
3. Should @Thalionwen forgive Taethowen for touching Orco (@Dwarrow Elf) in a completely non-romantic way? Hell no, burn Rohan down in retribution! Be glad she didn't force feed you your own hand, I would have..

2. Have you ever had a near-fae experience? Don't think so. Although I have walked through mountain landscapes in the middle of nowhere that definitely looked like they could be straight out of a fantasy novel, if that counts.
3. Should @Thalionwen forgive Taethowen for touching Orco (@Dwarrow Elf) in a completely non-romantic way? Yes, of course. Jealousy is not a healthy component of a relationship.
