Though we call ourselves LOTR confessions, we're happy to take confessions about anything Tolkien.
This blog was inspired by blogs such as Harry Potter Confessions and Criminal Minds Confessions.
If you're looking for a specific character or book, the tag page has most of it sorted.
Enjoy the blog! :)

(and general things people seem to be curious/disgruntled about)
Q: Do you post every confession? Do you ever change any of them?
A: Every confession, including repeats, unless it’s on this list.
Q: Why hasn’t my confession shown up yet?
A: It could still be in the ask, waiting to be made, or in the queue. You are welcome to resubmit if you feel there’s been an unholy amount of time, but if you’re really curious, you could drop us an ask and we should be able to answer you about where it is. :)
Q: How long does it take for a confession to show up?
A: A week and a half at the shortest and three weeks at the longest. Might be shorter or longer depending on the backlog, but for the most part sometime in that time window.
Q: Do I have to make the confession graphic?
A: Nope, that’s what us admins are here for! :D If you have a specific picture you want for your confession, you can submit a plain photo and just put the confession as a caption, and we’ll put them together.
Q: I want to submit a graphic, but how can I do that while still being anon?
A: If you sign out before sending the submission (just use a fake email address) we won’t be able to tell us who sent it. Alternately, just specify that you’d like to be anon and we’ll repost instead of just publishing.
Q: I hate that you put the confession in text below the graphic.
A: Feel free to delete it from your reblogs if you don’t like it :)
Q: I noticed an error in one of the confessions.
A: If anything is factually wrong about a confession, you are all more than welcome to tell us so in a polite way, to enlighten the general fandom (e.g. “Legolas ate his first piece of Lembas in SA2489, not SA2894. Just something I noticed :)”). Messages such as “LEGOLAS FIRST ATE LEMBAS IN 2489 OF THE SECOND AGE OMG YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE FANDOM JUST FUCK THE HELL OFF AND DIE” will be (mostly) ignored. There is also no point in attacking us, since we just for the most part moderate the confessions.
(obviously this is a jokey example, but you’re all smart people, you get the point I’m trying to make :P )
Q: The ask isn’t working!
A: It’ll be closed then. ;) We close the ask once we have 100 confessions to minimize backlog. Some people are prone to sending them to our personal asks in which case they’ll be deleted.
Q: Why is there a picture of a random character from Merlin/Game of Thrones/Narnia on a confession?
A: Pictures of Silmarillion characters simply does not exist. I’d rather not use fanart as the artist may not like it, so I use a character matching the description from another series or film who is in medieval clothes, cause they look relatively middle-earthish. I explain more closely here.
