Attention Hall of Fire folks! Here's the next topic:

A Day with a Tolkien Character

If you could spend one day with any Tolkien character who
would it be and why? Would you hang with Haldir and learn
how to make Elvish ropes? Or maybe you'd go digging with
Dain, galloping with Gandalf, or forging with Feanor.

>From the Silmarillion to the Return of the King, all characters
included. Would you visit the Maggots for some mushrooms,
or stay by Elrond's side for a spell? Trapse with hobbits? Slink
with Gollum? Guide with Aragorn? Ok... you get the picture ;)

Come one come all! And send in any future topics or suggestions here.
