Thanks!

I wanted to do the rest of the prompts this evening, but thanks to the results of today's referendum my day is now officially ruined.

I did manage to write a review and do some work on 'Bechdel Test' fic, but not much else.

O62

Women of The Silmarillion - Passing the Bechdel Test
Review a Story - … that you’ve read before but never reviewed

The story I reviewed was (the infamous) Real Men Wear Jewelry.

I never heard of the Bechdel test before, but I am informed now. :)

Today's referendum? Want to talk about it? *hugs* Let me stamp these two cards for you.

Aww... thanks. I needed that hug (and those two stamps). But nope - no talking of depressing subjects here. This isn't exactly a topic that could or should be discussed under Bingo numbers.

But Bechdel test is. :) I didn't have a clue what it was, so I had to do a little research, when I claimed the card. I was almost shocked to learn that LOTR was one of the movies that didn't pass Bechdel test. Are the books any different? It's been a while since I last read them, but I honestly can't remember any conversations between two women that doesn't revolve around men - or any conversations between two women at all. :/ There probably are and I'm just nuts. :P

OK, my last claims for this number:

O62

Cause of Death - Starvation
It ended up as double drabble. *shrugs* Morgoth didn't have much to say.

And I started working on these two:

Crack Pairings 2 - Indis/Círdan
Dwarves in the First Age - Mîm and Beleg

I decided not to do the controversial topic for this one even if it was part of the plan. Some other time perhaps.

*thinks very very hard*

I can't recall two woman conversing in Lord of the rings, nor the Hobbit... as for the Silm, with barely a handful of female characters scattered all over the books...

[havamahal.livejournal.com]

There is one conversation in Silm - between Melian and Galadriel. :) I completely forgot about that one. But they discuss Noldor, Valar and sons of Fëanor, so... :/

Yeps... probably nothing about what Galadriel wants to do for herself now. *sighs*
