Kat/rxk:  Oh, Neri you poor child!
Next thing you're going to claim is that the LOYR was about some tiny guy trying to destroy a gold ring imbued with almoxt irresistable demonic magic in orefer to save his world  & his beloved home from a horrific fate-only to suffer such physical & psychic trauma to body/mind/spirit that healing means leaving the home and friends & go live far from all that's dear/familiar  for the rest of his life. Of course, MANY-indeed HORDES-realuze as I do that oy's ACTUALLY about Orlando Nl...er, I mean Legolas'... (heh, oops)...shimy blond hair & nice ass!
I mean, geez Neri, whatever you're talking about souncx about as mezningful or appealing as a book where some kid tries to flee down a eiver on a raft to  take a driend to freedom, or some kid watches her  honourable and loving dad defend a man against a false charge in a corrupt, prejudiced place even rho' she's threatened because of it; or see some lonely, misfit kid struggle with adolescence & who's most comforting fantasy is of standing in a farmer's field protecting little children from tumbling off a cliff? Really! Can you imagine ANYONE not being vored stiff if any authour was doolish enough to WRITR storied with plots like THOSE??!
