BioThe original BagEnders is introduced by its creators, Lady Alyssa and Random Dent as:
And it came to pass that the fellowship were granted immortality for they had saved middle earth; and so they went their separate ways...
But some fellowships were not meant to be broken...
History has become legend; legend has become myth and myth has become merchandising: A three-bedroom semi in a town in the north of England, 2001.
BagEnders (The Original Series) sadly ended in 2004, with this message from Random Dent:
The end.
31st May 2004
This is it. The end. No more Bagenders. We had intended for there to be a nice finishing episode, with ends all tied up and so on, but we both had our Finals, and suddenly we got to the point where we are now - as I write this Lady Alyssa is at the opposite end of the
country to me. So I'm afraid I have to leave you with a rather mediocre Pointless Historical Episode as an ending. This site will no longer be updated, though if either Lady Alyssa or myself starts up our own fic sites we'll probably bung a link on here.
I've enjoyed writing this. I hope you've enjoyed reading it. Thank you to everyone who's every sent us a nice e-mail, left a lovely message in the Guestbook, or drawn us a picture - all those have made me smile, and sorry to everyone who never got a reply. If you want to
continue and write your own adventures for the Bagenders crew, then go ahead and do it, with our blessing ( as long as you don't pretend to be us. That would be weird and creepy).
Fast forward to Christmas 2004, and two members of the BagEnders Yahoo! group Tolkien_Silliness suddenly realised that there wasn't going to be a Christmas Special. Not this year, not any year. Ever. Faced with a choice between weeping copiously and moving on to pastures new (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
shoebox_project, anyone?) or rising to the challenge inherent in Random Dent's final words, they laughed in the face of 13,000 miles and a twelve-hour time zone hiccup. And they decided to, completely unofficially and with no backing
whatsoever from the authors, continue the story as best they could.
Trojie (short for the rather unusual epithet Trojanhorse, which she prefers to her real name) is a postgraduate geology student with a penchant for writing comic slash. Her interests are long-dead animals, taxonomy (NOT taxidermy), spelling and sci-fi fantasy novels. She is an active member of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, where she lambasts writers of poor slash. She started writing PBE with Bridget after the esteemed authors of the original series handed on the characters to all and sundry. She has been a member of the BagEnders Yahoo! Group Tolkien_Silliness for five years. She lives in New Zealand, and likes cats.
Bridget is an old-school grammar stickler, currently doing her degree in English with Creative Writing in England. She is an avid fan of slash, David Tennant, Sirius Black (whom she channels while haunting one of her Yahoo! groups) and Placebo. She too is a member of the Tolkien_Silliness Yahoo! Group and fulfils the role of Sarcasm Generator and Spell Check whilst there.
Bridget was slightly coerced into writing the first PBE episode, but after that rather sleepless week-before-Christmas she got the bit fully between her teeth and has since spent most of her time attempting to goad Trojie into writing more.
She is the authentic Northern voice of Merry and Pippin. Bridget also likes cats.
Our thanks go to Domokun for the icon. We are supremely in awe of your immense prowess.
