1. I play as Melkor on a different site and I like to taunt him by being the Flame Everlasting in the image of a candle.
2. The Sheriff but not the Deputy, which explains why the former was shot.
3. Sichuan Food straight from the Sichuan province. Unfortunately it's not sushi :P
4. Catherine of Aragon. She seemed alright from what I read of her actions during the whole debacle
5. Go back in time and drag Al Pacino when he was acting for the first two Godfather films.
6. Popeyes Fried Chicken and some baked ziti that I made by myself
7. I'm reading reference material for the scholarly paper I'm writing right now for fun
8. The Sopranos
9. Baked Pasta with bacon
10. Brian Jacques and Mark Twain

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? Coolest icons
2) who slashed the bolsters? Bill the Pony is the only individual unaccounted for at the time of the crime
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? Indian food though
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? I'm reading the last Wolf Hall book right now and insanely I don't actually know what happens so I'm never opening this thread again after I close it. Also Jane Seymour cuz that's as far as I've got and I assume they will live happily ever after. Right?
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? I was like 80% sure that was a Plaza username and not an actual character
6) What's in your lunchbox? Lots of mold, presumably
7) What are you reading? Asked and answered. NEXT
8) What are you watching? The Wire. I'm very with the times.
9) what are you making? a website
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? I mean I might as well stick the theme and say Hilary Mantel at this point

Anne of Cleeves really was the best, though. Can'tbeat that divorce settlement...
Oh and sushi technically refers to the rice, not the fish. So if fish isn't your thing you can still have sushi!

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? Because it feels most like home and fits my personality and real life habits best. I have spent lots of time in Mordor over the years though, in fact that's where I started out originally.

3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? Sushi, Thai salads, Vietnamese salads, my local Chinese takeaway, pizza and mooorrre.. there are so many best ones.

6) What's in your lunchbox? Usually leftovers

3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? Japanese and Korean food are way up in the rankings, for sure.
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? Catherine of Aragon was the most interesting to me.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? Moriel's suggestion, Hiddles, sounds good to me!
6) What's in your lunchbox? Iced coffee.
7) What are you reading? Perez & Brady's Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology, to see if I like it. Would not recommend.
8) What are you watching? My nephew watching YouTube in front of me.
9) What are you making? We got tonkotsu ramen delivered from a restaurant, so I'll be...putting that in a bowl. Also, a post for the Lothlorien thread!
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? Haven't read fiction books for so long, so I actually can't. Sorry!

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? Because it was my last home on the old Plaza, though I am torn between Fangy, the Shire and Isengard, they've all been home to me.
2) who slashed the bolsters? Probably Narv
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? I like sushi but it's not the only 'best' one. I also love Dim sum.
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? Not sure, possibly Anne of Cleaves but I would have to write an essay looking at all of them in detail to be able to justify it, and doing so would probably change my opinion anyway.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? I don't think I can beat Moriel's suggestion.
6) What's in your lunchbox? Right now, nothing because its a weekend. Normally...chicken and bacon with coleslaw in a wrap, packet of ready salted crisps, greek yoghurt and berries
7) What are you reading? Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce
8) What are you watching? The HBO Northern Lights remake, Clone Wars series, Babylon 5, Anne with an E. Not all at the same time, just side by side depending on my mood.
9) what are you making? Not making as such, but we are redecorating our flat at the moment which is my current creative outlet
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? Patrick Rothfuss.

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? I quite like trees, and it was also my last kingdom so I thought I'd give is one last hurrah before maybe going wild and choosing something totally new.
2) who slashed the bolsters? I have been sworn to secrecy on this matter.
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? I've been craving Vietnamese since about January
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? Catherine Parr because I feel bad she's not got a mention yet and she seems like she was probably a pretty good egg, all things considered (and by all things, I mean the 4 things I know about her).
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? Really not good with these sorts of questions.
6) What's in your lunchbox? I actually haven't owned a lunchbox since school, but my favourite work-time lunch (before everything went tits up) was every single stall along Strutton Ground. The falafel wrap is a particular winning choice.
7) What are you reading? Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Fascinating and terrifying both at once.
8) What are you watching? [Moriel - The Thick of It is awesome!!] I just finished Normal People, and am probably going to start Line of Duty because I hear good things. I am also SO EXCITED for the return of some live football today. I've adopted Mainz as my team until it's back in the UK.
9) what are you making? I'm making some artwork on my new tablet which I'm actually getting pretty into despite never having really considering myself the creative type
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? I'm really bad at thinking of recommendations outside of my current book, so I recommend Matthew Walker.

2) who slashed the bolsters? Was it you?! (*whispers* I don't get this question, am I a bad LOTR nerd?)
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? Not Danish food (and not sushi), aside from Christmas pork or duck with brun sovs, which is actually a hot contender for best
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? I've always been partial to Catherine of Aragon.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? I could watch Michael Fassbender in anything.
6) What's in your lunchbox? Related to q3, NOT Danish ryebread.

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose?
Because *ponies* -- also it took me several years on the old Plaza to find the best fit and Rohan was it. Also, I like green. And, of course, ponies. *G*
2) who slashed the bolsters?
*Dramatically* HIM!!!
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi?
If by sushi, you mean Italian fare, then yes. Seriously, nothing compares to fresh, homemade regional Italian cuisine. I am really hoping we'll get to go for our honeymoon....
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII?
Ugh. History. Um, the 5th one.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor?
Aidan Turner (from Poldark). He's super broody and dark and a great actor!
6) What's in your lunchbox?
It's 7am here. I am barely functional without coffee. But, as it's the weekend, we'll be running errands band grabbing a salad wrap or something curbside (still social distancing even though out state is semi-open)
7) What are you reading?
I have been on an Overdrive app reading binge. I just finished "The Princess and the Con", book 2, by Ashley and "it's kind of a funny story" by Ned Vizzini. Those were yesterday's reads. I'm about 2 books a day...I have a lot of books on hold that I am waiting for so I just kind of pick something available and ready.
8) What are you watching?
Magic for Humans, season 3!!!! Seriously the best fun short show on Netflix! It's a fam fave. I also am watching After Life, season 2.
9) what are you making?
Triple berry cheesecake muffins are on the list for today and probably something for dinner but no idea yet
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)?
I mean, no one compares, right? But I do enjoy the "Iron Druid Chronicles" (series) by Kevin Hearne. Like a modern day Celtic Percy Jackson set in AZ. My teenage son enjoys them too. I love reading in general so it's really hard to pick faves. But. Diana Gabaldon (Outlander) is an amazing writer and her author son Sam Sykes is great too.

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? I've always been in Mirkwood since I joined, and I figured Lorien was as close as I'm gonna get now. Also Lorien is cool. 
2) who slashed the bolsters? [REDACTED], of course.
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? I was not consulted when this decision was made and it shows.
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? Best personality? Best ending? Best dressed? Just kidding it's Anne of Cleves
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? I'm more concerned about who could be trusted to write/direct an adequate adaption of the Silmarillion. (Also I don't keep up with actors. But Tom Hiddleston doesn't sound like a terrible choice.)
6) What's in your lunchbox? I have a lunchbox?

9) what are you making? A post
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? Elizabeth Marie Pope wrote a total of two novels that are a bit strange but also I love them and will always recommend them. Historical fiction by an actual historian (with a few... twists).
2) who slashed the bolsters? [REDACTED], of course.
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? I was not consulted when this decision was made and it shows.
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? Best personality? Best ending? Best dressed? Just kidding it's Anne of Cleves
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? I'm more concerned about who could be trusted to write/direct an adequate adaption of the Silmarillion. (Also I don't keep up with actors. But Tom Hiddleston doesn't sound like a terrible choice.)
6) What's in your lunchbox? I have a lunchbox?

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? Fangorn, my one and only. Fangorn Forever. In honesty, Morim convinced me to join the Plaza and he was an Ent and told me it was cool, so I joined Fangorn and have never looked back. It suits my personality as someone who loves lore and history and learning and old knowledge.
2) who slashed the bolsters? There's a Guns n' Roses joke in here somewhere, but I'm not finding the right phrasing for it.
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? Allow me to respond with one of my favorite memes:
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? catherine of Aragorn...or Aragon. One of those.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? Saw someone above suggest Tom Hiddleston and that's a really good suggestion. I feel like whoever I pick has to be tall, so I'm going to go with native Pittsburgher Joe Manganiello
6) What's in your lunchbox? Leftovers from whatever dinner was last night
7) What are you reading? Twitter, mostly. Also a bunch of stuff for work.
8) What are you watching? Currently re-watching Community with my wife, which is a great show if you like meta and self-reflective TV. I found an old tape of Battlebots from the early 2000s I've been watching with my kids. We've also been showing them the Star Wars movies. Personally, I've been dabbling in some old spaghetti westerns in my free time. It's not a genre I was ever familiar with, but they're fun.

10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? I've been reading CS Lewis' Space Trilogy (among other things) which is quite good.

1) why are you in the kingdom you chose? Because I have always loved horses.
2) who slashed the bolsters? I will die on the hill halfir abandoned and say it was not the Black Riders. I vaguely remember some Tolkien scholar--can't remember who--apparently definitively stating it was, but I still think that halfir made a far more convincing case.
3) What is the best world cuisine and why is it sushi? I can't stand sushi and it makes me sad because it always looks so good.
4) Who was the best wife of Henry VIII? I'm kind of a fan of Katherine Parr.
5) If they made a movie of it, what actor should play Feanor? There are so many possibilities...but I think I could see Benedict Cumberbatch pulling it off well.
6) What's in your lunchbox? Nothing at the moment.
7) What are you reading? The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton.
8) What are you watching? Classic Doctor Who!
9) what are you making? I'm working on a couple of big cross-stitch pieces; one is a pretty fall mill scene, and another is Van Gogh's Starry Night.
10) Can you recommend an author (other than Tolkien)? Terry Pratchett, all the way!
