Re: What non-canon slash pairings do you think are almost-canon?

[elaminator]

Legolas and Gimli are my forever OTP. I was so disappointed when the movies came out and everyone was shipping Aragorn/Legolas instead. Just...there needs to be more Legolas/Gimli. THEY WERE AS GOOD AS CANON, GUYS.

[forgottenjester]

That was sad. I remember that.

Painful memories, indeed. :(

I remember shipping them back in the olden days and finding like... one author who wrote it amidst the sea of Aragorn/Legolas :| (Theresa Green I believe it was, author of the User Manual series). Urgh, one does not simply sail into the west with someone, guys.

Re: What non-canon slash pairings do you think are almost-canon?

There were definitely a few Legolas/Gimli gems to be found, but compared to Aragorn/Legolas...it wasn't much. Which is sad. So very sad.

Urgh, one does not simply sail into the west with someone, guys.

I know, right? That takes commitment! You don't sail into the west for just anyone! As far as I'm concerned, you need epic amounts of love for that to even be a thing you consider asking/doing.

I cackled outloud. Seriously.

The prevalence of Aragorn/Legolas was the reason I didn't get into the fandom until 2004. I ended up reading it, but I had to go through the whole range of Elfslash to get there first.

But while I don't mind Legolas/Gimli, it was never one of my favourites. Still isn't, even now, maybe because I never truly connected with those two.

Re: What non-canon slash pairings do you think are almost-canon?

[elaminator]

That might be why, then. Legolas and Gimli were always two of my favorite characters, and I have a huge thing for pairings where two characters grow from hating each other to loving each other (above all else). Then there's the inter-species part of it, which just makes it all the more interesting and appealing to me.

No pairing is for everyone, but it does sometimes bum me out when I think of how good those two were, and how little fic there is. *sigh*

Re: What non-canon slash pairings do you think are almost-canon?

[caecilia]

Lol, Legolas/Gimli is why I got into the fandom. It was the height of my slash goggles phase and they were on a horse together. I read all the fics and the books just for them. It's a little awkward when RL people ask me if I like Tolkien.

Re: What non-canon slash pairings do you think are almost-canon?

[caecilia]

I'm not really that into Tolkien. I tried to get into it when the movies were coming out, and later took a college class on it, but I mostly just think it's okay. I saw the first Hobbit movie but am choosing to skip the others until ten years from now when someone makes me watch them or something. So honestly if I' in this fandom at all it's for the Legolas/Gimli. I've read other ships for both characters, because I was 12 and needed my slash fix, but yeah, Aragorn/Legolas is just...kind of boring? I like them as bros, though.
