(cradlesong anon) so this major-key broadbeam cradlesong is becoming, conceptually, what bomfris sings to disith and durin to get them to sleep, so i’m probably going to change some stuff around if thats ok? i just have this image of bomfris rocking two cribs at once and singing them to sleep, and thorin (stonehelm) comes in in the middle and starts humming along, and it’s just very peaceful and quiet and full of love. not super harmonically complex, but just very warm.

(cradlesong anon) pt 2 im changing the lyrics a bit, so it’s for two treasures, and im gonna use your alto line but an octave or two down for thorin. bomfris’ line is gonna stay the same. im just feeling things about bomfris and thorin and little disith and durin and how loved they all are, idk. would that be ok, to change it like that? 

(cradlesong anon) pt 3 i just decided that the tenor line that comes in around measure 32 is going to be bombur singing along from the halls of mahal, watching over his daughter and grandchildren. and now i made myself sad.

Hey Nonnie! Absolutely – go nuts, move it around as much as you like! It’s your thing now, this major version is your baby and you can play around with it in any old way: lyrics, tune, harmonies, anything. It’s all yours, with my enthusiastic encouragement and blanket permission for WHATEVER! I can’t wait to hear what you come up with.

And omg ajhsdglajhasgdfsah that headcanon hurts my heart. A lot. In a completely wonderful, perfectly perfect way. Bomfris and Thorin and their tiny little surprises and BOMBUR HOW DARE YOU augh

actually, now that I come to think of it… wow, that is EXTREMELY fitting for a Sansukh song, that lil

soupçon

of angst in a casserole of love and happiness!

I hope this isn’t rude, but somehow your appearance is nothing like how i imagined you ( i a good way though! You don’t look bad in real life or in my imagination lol). It’s just that for some reason but kind of imagined you as a slightly plump, very sweet older woman with long wavy dark blond hair. To be honest very similar to my classics teacher (who I’ll say everyone loves to bits and who is a very good woman) anyhow, thank you very much and i hope that wasn’t rude (i mean it well)

She sounds beautiful ❤

Sadly, I am nowhere near that cute! Small, scruffy, scrawny thing with blue eyes and noodle arms, hurtling at light speed towards totally grey hair, that is me. 😀

You have no idea how proud I am of the fact that you’re Australian. Us Aussies don’t get much recognition in media (does fan fiction count as media?) and you’ve written one of the best known fics in the LotR fandom. You’re amazing, keep doing you 😃

heyyyyyy fellow Aussie 🙂

Know the feeling – I just about howl with happiness every time I hear our accent on something that wasn’t produced in Oz, it’s so bloody rare. That’s so awesome of you to say, lkasjhdgflajh thank you! 

idk what fanfic counts as, honestly. But hey, it’s all entertainment in the end, I guess 🙂

I will deffo keep it up, thank you so much again! *hugs*

SO DETS HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE AUTHOR OF SANSUKH. I mean. People cosplaying your characters. Writing the most popular fanfic in the LotR/The Hobbit fandom ever probably. Having to follow all of Tolkien’s storylines, even the ones he didn’t elaborate on. How are you doing this while also having a family and a social life I do not understand. I love you so much.

I DUNNO I DUNNO ANYTHING, I AM JUST A SMALL GREYING NERD HERE TO HAVE FUN AND LOVE DWARVES

my internal monologue is mostly a high-pitched aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
