Snowflake Challenge - Day 5

Day 5

Recommend a fannish or creative resource. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So years ago, my wife and I spent an inordinate amount of time playing Lord of the Rings Online (aka LOTRO). This was pre-marriage, and we were still long distance then, so playing the game online was way for us to regularly interact as well as have fun and hang out with other people.

One of the things you can do in the game is forge legendary weapons - at least you used to be able to, I'm assuming you still can now? Anyway, whenever I'd make a good one, I'd go to this site to come up with a Sindarin name for my newest, coolest weapons, haha. I spent a lot of time agonizing over picking the perfect names for my items, which would only be replaced within a short amount of time, as such is the nature of MMOs, but it was always fun to play around with in the meantime.

The page looks like it still works, at least the pre- and post-fix translations are there, which is awesome. Hopefully this resource, albeit a very specific one, can be useful to someone else out there, and I know I'm bookmarking it now that I've found it again. :)
