I just realized I might be blocking creativity by rejecting a good idea.  How many people would rather see this be about a film or novel (already listed above) than about a specific location within a film or novel?  Please let me know, since it would just be a matter of adding up all of the votes for LOTR and changing the poll to reflect just films or novels. 

No votes will be lost, no matter what we do.
So this is Disney World.  Can we live here?

How reasonable is it if I just move all of the LOTR into one category in the poll?  This has already been mentioned and it could be better for creativity to include only one entry per film / novel. 

If no one reasonably objects to this, I'll move all of the present votes separated out into the various locations for LOTR into one category in the poll for LOTR.  This will leave categories of movies or novels only and no specific locations designated within this poll.  The winning film or novel will then be open to everyone's discretion in that (winning) world to create from whichever scene is desirable within that winning category.

I say make it a movie / novel based contest. Change the LOTR into 1 catagory.

I agree with Lonewolf, make LOTR into one catagory.  I also partially agree with Arisdemos, perhaps you could take some of the room that LOTR leaves when it's cleaned up and add some movies/novels(fiction or non) that contain a bit of historical significance - Although I wouldn't go overboard with that, one of the great things about Terragen II, of course, is the ability to capture something from imagination and make it physically tangible, for all to see and enjoy.

Lonewolf, which movies/novels would be good to place in there?

Since I can't remove items, LOTR now counts as one category.  I don't mind adding a couple more items, but the poll still only goes until Sunday at 10AM (GMT -6).

Bit late I know but how about some of the shots from "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", some stunning locations there.

Yeah.  Sorry to be a bit of a roadblock.  This should be better.

Looks like it's going to be a LOTR theme then, so far, at least. How original! :D

rcallicotte

And, whatever subject wins, if there is a film and novel for this topic, then someone can create from anywhere in the entire world / universe.  Sound good?
