Honour, Wisdom, Kindness and Courage: Théoden King of Rohan [13 Feb 2008|01:00pm] the_stowaway Title: Honour, Wisdom, Kindness and Courage: Théoden King of Rohan Author: the_stowaway Character: Théoden King of Rohan Fandom: Lord of the Rings (book!verse) Spoilers: Does this even apply to a book published in 1954-55? *g* Beta: viva_gloria Author's Note: This essay concerns itself with the book, rather than the movies, for, while Peter Jackson will ever have my awed respect for his magnificent achievement, and while Bernard Hill was brilliant as Théoden, it is to the source text that my heart is given first, last and always. I read it first in 1966, and have re-read it at least once a year since. Each time it fills me with love and a renewed sense of wonder.

idol_reflection is now open for business on GreatestJournal as well [09 Aug 2007|02:39pm] penknife Owing to recent concerns about LJ's terms of service, we're opening a GreatestJournal version of this community, idol_reflection. Please feel free to post your essays on either version of the community, or to cross-post to both. You can also repost essays you've posted here in the past to the GJ community, and in fact we encourage you to do so. We've reserved the idol_reflection username on InsaneJournal as well, and will consider opening that community to posting as well if that seems to be where large portions of fandom are headed. Barring disaster, we will keep this community open on LiveJournal, but we wanted to give you another option for posting, and to encourage you to help us back up this community by reposting to the GJ comm -- this community has seen a lot of fabulous work in the last three years, and I'd hate to see any of that work lost. post comment

Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron: Jack Bauer (24), by puritybrown [08 May 2007|11:38pm] puritybrown Title: Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron: Jack Bauer Author: puritybrown Character: Jack Bauer Fandom: 24 Spoilers: Contains spoilers through Day Six, 1:00am-2:00am. Notes: Because of the show's "real time" format, the episodes of 24 do not have conventional titles, being referred to instead as "Day One, 12:00am-1:00am" etc; the seasons are referred to as Day One, Day Two and so on. Whoo! This is long, and was a lot harder to write than I thought it would be. I hope it does Jack justice. I've killed two people since midnight. I haven't slept in over 24 hours. So maybe you should be a little more afraid of me than you are. --Jack Bauer, Day One You still have a life, Jack. You wanna be a real hero, here's what you do. You get back down there and you put the pieces together. You find a way to forgive yourself for what happened to your wife. You make things right with your daughter, and you go on serving your country. That'd take some real guts. --George Mason to Jack Bauer, Day Two When you were down there with us I had no idea you were an agent. We accepted you. You didn't need to put the needle in your arm -- you did that for other reasons. The same reason as all other junkies. To kill the pain. What's your pain, Jack? What does the needle make go away? --Ramon Salazar to Jack Bauer, Day Three Do you understand the difference between dying for something and dying for nothing? The only reason I fought so hard to stay alive in China was because I didn't want to die for nothing. Today I can die for something. My way. My choice. To be honest with you, it'll be a relief. --Jack Bauer, Day Six ( Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron: Jack Bauer ) Shout-outs: I couldn't have written this without the Television Without Pity 24 recaps. Thanks also to all the ficcers at 24_fanfic, who each have a unique perspective on the landscape of Jack Bauer's mind. 9 comments|post comment
