Hey @kivrinengle remember when we saw BotFA together and were paralyzed by grief afterwards??

For the amazing @kivrinengle and her wonderful, WONDERFUL book.

Listen, guys, if you haven’t read All Past Years, you need to go to amazon right now and get it. Seriously, it’s an amazing book with the kind of main character that you hardly see in printed media. Such a relatable girl! Such amazing characters. And the whole refreshing take on time travel is just mind blowing! You will love this book as much as I do! You can get it here!

as sunshine falls on the wretched (18489 words) by KivrinEngle Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: The Hobbit (2012), The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit - All Media Types Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Bilbo Baggins, Kíli, Fíli, Thorin Oakenshield, Thorin's Companions, Various Hobbits Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Friendship, Family, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Fluff and Angst, violence to canonical timelines

Summary:

Bilbo Baggins, the newly appointed Master of Bag End, has just reached his majority. He lives alone in his fine house, managing his estate, and ignoring the people of Hobbiton as much as they avoid him. When a storm lands him with an unexpected (and unwelcome) little visitor, all Bilbo wants to do is find the baby Dwarf's missing family so he can get back to his own life.

That's not what happens.

This is one of my favourite AUs ever, period.

A powerful, moving story about loneliness, chance and families of choice. (With canon timelines gleefully violated, only the result is brilliant ♥) It might break your heart a little (a lot), but it will patch it right back up again, I promise!

F, L, S U?

:DDDDD

F) There was a spot in one of my Silm fics where Celeborn (Galadriel’s husband) and Thranduil are talking, and they’re both pretty young, like maybe teenagers.

//Thranduil tilted his head and frowned.  “Is the king’s niece a lesbian?  Is she seeking a wife?”

“What?  No!”

“I think Lachwen and Merenien from dance club are lesbians.”

“That–how would you know that?”

“I have an eye for that sort of thing.”

Celeborn blinked.  “…You can detect lesbians?”

“No,” Thranduil threw him a scathing look and rolled his eyes.  “I can tell when people are interested in each other.”

“That does seem much more plausible than my idea.”//

I made a friend laugh with it, so I’m still pretty damn proud of it.  I love writing dialogue in general, and my favorite thing is to make people laugh.

L) I never post a fic until I am absolutely positive that there is nothing wrong with it.  I compulsively check over everything I write over and over and over, so by the time I finish at all (if I finish at all) it’s pretty clear, but then I check it again anyway.  And when I post it, I always preview before it’s fully posted to make sure that I got the html right.  I’m paranoid about these things.  Similarly, I’ve gotten into the habit of never posting anything until it’s fully 100% complete because I’m paranoid about leaving things unfinished.  I’ve learned my lesson–I can’t write on a schedule.

S) I’m a sucker for lovesick men.  I love it when characters pine, especially when they have NO IDEA that the other character is interested in them (but of course they are.)

U) My favorite fic authors right now are determamfidd, who writes mostly Tolkien/Hobbit stuff; KivrinEngle, who also writes mostly Tolkien/Hobbit stuff; and ArcaneBarrage, who has been writing Overwatch fic.  All three of these people are ridiculously good writers–they really know how to suck you into a story, and their characterization is always so freaking spot-on you’d think it was all canon.

(All with regards to the fanfic ask meme)

In which I attempt to make a playlist encapsulating the amazingness that is @kivrinengle's Sons of Durin 'verse. If you haven't read her stories, you totally should!

Also, HUGE thank you to @ofahattersmind for letting me use her amazing drawing as the cover art for this playlist!!

Listen!

I’d say it’s about time for another read through :D

Fanfic Writer Wednesday #2

I SUCK AT THIS SORRY

But I thought I’d start again!

So, if you’re in the Hobbit fandom, you’ve probably heard of @kivrinengle but if you haven’t you will now!

First of all, as a person, Kivrin is an absolute sweetheart. She works tirelessly to help her family and all of her posts radiate love, even the not-so-happy ones. She really helped me get into writing Hobbit fanfiction, and even though I’ve fallen out of that, I’m still very grateful for all of her encouragement and help, as some of the stories I produced at that time are very dear to me, and she was a big part of that.

As an author, she’s obviously fantastic! Her stories make you smile, tug at your heartstrings, and often make you want to move to Scotland. (Seriously. It’s a thing.) She makes you love the dwarves even more, if that’s possible, and is good at making even the elves seem warm. (I like elves, but you have to admit...) Her forays into Harry Potter fanfiction are also quite good.

But don’t just take my word for it! Here! Read it! Fall in love with our Sons of Durin and our precious darling noodles~ \(‘w’\)
