Re: 113

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind swords and sorcery, but I'm not a big fan of LotR either. It felt like there really was a good story underneath all of the longwinded worldbuilding descriptions, but I just couldn't build up enough momentum through those parts to actually enjoy the story. Maybe I have no attention span, but I like it better when worldbuilding is worked into the flow of the story a little more.

Still, it feels like to be a decent fantasy fan, you need to like LotR, and dislike certain other books like Eragon. I haven't read Eragon (the rampant hatred for it kind of scared me off) but I've heard people make intelligent cases that it had its redeeming points (such as the dragons in Eragon having more of their own motivations and goals than in some other series where dragons are major characters.)

Yeah, 113 didn't seem to make his or her case very well-- arguing that a large, cohesive, well-respected fandom is "just jealous" of a small fandom of a book regarded as so bad it's horrible... well, not only is it childish, but it just doesn't make any sense. But I have a feeling that even if the secret had been grammatically perfect and mature, it still would have been flamebait. What's so bad about not liking LotR, if you genuinely like it? Or what's so bad about liking Eragon, if you genuinely do?
