After much crossing out of sentences and restructuring rhymes, I came up with this short little ditty for you all. Enjoy! : )


The Defenestration of Erestor
By Lindir (and Emily)

There was an elf of Rivendell
That everybody thought was swell-
Mainly because he was so quiet-
Thus, he turned many heads when he caused a large riot.
See, “Erestor” did he claim as his name,
This name was also his claim to fame.
For Erestor said “Balrogs don’t exist,”
And thus got Glorfindel majorly **.
The Three decided to ‘take care’ of him
(Haldir, Rúmil, and Orophin),
And defenestrated Erestor!
Said elf threw a mattress to the forest floor,
And the Three defenestrated Erestor!
He lived, thanks to his mattress, to tell the tale,
And cause much more mischief, and receive much fan mail,
So don’t worry about Erestor any more,
Unless Glorfindel finds him in Harad or
Erestor decides to write many books more!


Sorry if the rhythm's off. All credit goes to you, Erestor. : ) Thanks for your fabulous story! (Now someone else gets to make the music and post it on Youtube...)

Another funny story. I like how you wove things like that weird Mines of Moria game into it, and also the bit about aliens. Goodness knows plenty of people would like to kidnap Legolas! : )
Defenestration is such a funny word. I think I'm going to try to use it during dinner tonight. : )

So, I absolutely adore this trilogy; it's brilliant.
Your comedic timing is flawless and your universe is wonderful.
But...where does the wings debate come from? I've seen it referenced elsewhere, but I must have missed its origin somehow.
Would you mind enlightening me?
Thanks

You used Defenestration! I love you!
And the Wise . . . Wyze are like the mafia or something - it's erie!

LOL! That was incredibly enjoyable.

"And of course, some poor deceased Dwarf had photographed the balrog, presumably as he was fleeing for his life (this was before he was deceased)."

That is what I call comedic genius.

Ha! Great! I'm keeping track of 'Wyze Lies' and now it make a little more sense.
This is so good. I live in an area full of people who would be called 'conspiracy theorists' so I understand all this and I really like it! It's very good.

I loved this story. It was wonderfully written, and the style was hilarious.
Erestor is AWESOME!

You are too funny...I couldn't stop laughing! Everything you write is so brilliant- you are super talented ^.^

This is hilarious! I LOVE IT! You rule at making LOTR parodies...I wish I could write like this...

-ElfLuver13

Oh, wow...that was so...so...random...

I think this is self-explanatory: LOL!

ARAGORN: *pouts indignantly* What part of RELUCTANT king don't you understand? I never wanted to lead the Fellowship! Why would I push Gandalf off the bridge in Moria?

LEGOLAS: You said it was because he smelled weird.

ARAGORN: I seem to recall YOU saying that he had used all of your hair bleach before YOU pushed him off...

Hmm...

Brilliant. I'm off to read more of your stuff.

-Maethril Aranel-

This is so GOOD! I LOVE all of Erestor's stories. Check out the sequel, it's even BETTER!

-spews coffee all over her monitor- Amazing. Simply amazing. I nearly fell out of my chair at the Defenestration of Erestor. -giggles helplessly- This is going on my favorites list.

Hello there. I mostly read in the Silm section, so I was unaware of much of your writing until I tried your one story there and then peeked at your profile. I am now working my way through your stories, and greatly enjoying the combination of humour and cleverness. Plus, you can actually write! Your sense of pacing is particularly impressive.

I think this, and the Arwen-thinks-about-death one, are my favourites so far. I guess I am a huge sucker for Silm and Home references, especially when they are subtly made.

Congratulations on your Mithril nomination! :)
