Shout-out

So like, I've always shied away from comment fic, especially in huge fandoms like Merlin where it seemed there were thousands of everything to go through with people I didn't know and it just seemed too overwhelming for me so I always got frustrated at their existence.

So apparently if it's on a slightly smaller scale (so far) and in a fandom I'm super-super-super familiar with, I can handle it and love it, too.

So [livejournal.com profile] lbilover linked to this:
http://yethoperemains.livejournal.com/996.html

It's an LOTR fic-a-thon in comments. You can request anything, and you can fulfill anyone's request.

For example, there's a ficlet here that reminds me of [livejournal.com profile] rubynye:
Butterfly Heart, about Rosie in the Scouring of the Shire.

Also, I wrote this one about Haleth, the boy who showed Aragorn his sword in the movie verse of Two Towers before Helm's Deep.:
Dawn

eta: I just wrote one about Elanor and Sam Gamgee post-quest! :))
Fade Away

[livejournal.com profile] lbilover wrote one about the little moment in the book in Moria where Pippin is afraid to jump over a chasm.
Keeping Dark at Bay

And best of all, [livejournal.com profile] baranduin fulfilled my request for a story about deep, platonic friendship between Frodo and Aragorn in the most perfect way!
Friendship

So if you have ever liked or do like to write LOTR fic, these are short and sweet, no pressure, no restrictions of pairing, genre, etc., as long as it takes place in Middle-earth!

Oh m goodness, sweetie, that was such a blast of nostalgia. I LOVE the ficlet about Rosie.

I am so tempted...!

I'm glad you went to check it out!! It's great, isn't it? I hope I'll have time later to do more reading and writing there. Gotta ton of housework to get through today first. *sigh*

It gives me such happiness to see LOTR's fic being written again especially [livejournal.com profile] baranduin and her fic...which I adored.

What a terrific idea this was. I loved reading the ficlets, and yours was ace! :)

*blushes*

It was fun to write though I had no real idea where it was going when I started it!

hee! Those are the best stories sometimes! I didn't know where I was going when I wrote the Elanor one at all! I just let it lead me!
