Every fanfic author's mantra: Let me do it. I can do it well!
From Lance Schaubert's "Dear Tolkien Society:
I would write the end of the ruined saga. I could give you the gold of the grave of the crown: Pendragon’s poem I dare to complete. Dear Tolkien Society: A poem in alliterative verse by Lancelot Schaubert
#tolkien #fanfic #alliterative #poetry
Coming Sunday ... #alliterative #poetry set in #Arda, the world #Tolkien created. A curated collection, including many original works and poems reprinted from #AO3 and the #Silmarillion Writers' Guild.
Trying some stuff out. One of the things I'm trying out is letting more Greek / Latin / French loanwords in.
[extremely has been reading Maxims I voice]: I have been reading Maxims I.
One goal here: try to use this character's maxims to prod at what is normal to them and (rightly!) not normal to us.
Think it's going to take some tuning.
Experimenting with making the alliteration right-tilting rather than (as in Old English) left-tilting.
The Mountain, After released!
The Mountain, After has just come out! It’s a short story, set when power ebbs away from one petty imperial outpost. It features:
Giant robots
Workable blank verse and alliterative verse
A vivid (I hope!) slice of a vanished world
I’m pretty pleased with it!
You can read The Mountain, After for free (or pay-what-you-want), as a PDF and an ebook, via itch.io here. To pay nothing, hit ‘Download’ and then ‘No thanks’ on the payment box.
Alternatively, you can hear The Mountain, After read aloud on this Twitch VOD. This is a live reading, not an audiobook, but I hope it makes the poem more accessible.
Next week, look out for the release of Deep-Step and Twice-Mortal!
