Man, [Woman!] of February

[Ugluk]

Well. February. The second month of the year, and, perhaps coincidentally, the very month of the year that my birthday lands in.



[/shameless plug]

But back on point. Due to an egregious lack of enthusiasism in the vote, I have decided not to make voting for women mandatory for this month. You can vote for the guys if you want. However, given that woman have been shockingly underrepresented in this competition, I am calling for those of you to cast aside the sexist notions that cloud your minds and -

Yeah. I think you get the picture.

Rules:

1) You can only vote once a day *
2) You can't vote for the same person two days in a row **
3) You must state why you voted for the person
4) Person must be Lord of the Rings/Tolkien related
5) Votes must be in bold
6) You can't vote for Tolkien because he won last month

* This applies to whatever time zone you are in. Even if the TORC time works out so according to it you're posting within the same day, it doesn't matter. But don't abuse your authority.
** This means you may not vote for the same person consecutively. If you vote for Frodo Monday and do not vote at all Tuesday, than you cannot vote for Frodo on Wednesday.

It's very sporting of you, Ugluk, not to insist on a woman-only vote this month. However, to show that a fazgul can be sporting too, I will vote only for women this month--women who have a connection to Faramir

My first vote for Woman of Middle Earth for February:

Finduilas, because she was Faramir's mother.

[Lalaith-Elerrina]

Very sporting indeed, Ugluk! I myself, will vote for Ioreth because she was a very smart and compassionate person.

[shieldmatron]

Yes, very sporting of you, Ugluk! I shall strive to add women to my voting. When I'm not voting for Celeborn, that is.

Okay, so my first vote of February goes to....*drum roll* Galadriel because she married Celeborn.

[Ugluk]

Thanks, guys.

Today's vote goes to Luthien because Beren is the one who usually gets the votes.

[Lady_Niwella]

Éowyn because she was my first "love" among the characters.

[Lothloriel]

Galadriel, because she is Finrod's sister.

~Lothy

[Aurelin]

Aredhel for getting the creepiest husband of all Arda-time.



Aurelin

[MithLuin]

Yikes, I agree, poor Aredhel!

Miriel, because I am very tired, and don't particularly feel like getting up tomorrow morning.

[elf-maiden]

Luthien because she's pretty cool.

[Lady_Niwella]

Galadriel because I wish I had at least a morsel of her wisdom.

[shieldmatron]

Rosie Cotton because she wore ribbons in her hair. If I did, I'd look ridiculous!

[Morieru]

I cast my vote for Morwen, because she is a very strong woman to endure all the things that occured in her life!

Go Morwen

[NimrodelSong]

Yay, Tolkien won in January!

Galadriel cos she's an elf.

(Thanks for new thread, Ugluk.)

~Nim~

[Phantasmagoria]

Ugluk, where does your siggy pic come from? LOL it's so... beautifully disturbing.

I vote for Finduilas because she produces good children, obviously.

[Ugluk]

Phantasmagoria - I got it in an email my grandmother sent to me.



Today I'm voting for Eowyn, because she can ride and weild a blade.

[Lalaith-Elerrina]

Today, my vote goes to Galadriel for the same reason Sheildmatron voted for her! (She's Celeborn's wife)

[MithLuin]

Ulmo, because he had no woman.

[Aurelin]

Melkor because my Thursday-curse has started up again - all that can go wrong, does!
Tomorrow I shall once more take up voting for women!


Aurelin

[Lothloriel]

Beruthiel, because she wasn't really that bad.[/b]

[Singingfox73]

Rosie Cotton because she had incredible patience waiting for Sam to get the guts to ask to marry her, and THEN because she proceded to have a dozen or so children!

[sh_wulff]

Eowyn


well she charmed ME's most eligible bachelor...

and I wish I was in her nightgown

[Lady_Niwella]

Éowyn because of what sh-wulff said...

[shieldmatron]

Arwen because of her grandpa!

[elf-maiden]

Arwen...just because.

[meaningofhaste]

Eowyn, because she got Faramir !

[Ugluk]

Luthien - because I think she needs to go in my next sig.

[Lalaith-Elerrina]

Éowyn because she kicked some serious Witch King bootee.

[MithLuin]

Eowyn, because I came across someone named "Rohan" today. I wonder if his parents were fans?

(I was going to vote Aragorn yesterday, because I had to tell people "I'm older than I look.")

[Aurelin]

"I'm older than I look."

Sounds very familiar! I always have to assure people that I am not my younger brother's younger sister.


Idril because of her doubts about Maeglin and the tunnel she had had built that enabled her people to escape.
