Hey, I’m writing a Bagginshield fic and when it gets more into family relationships I’ve been taking the Sansukh world as canon (I mean, it is canon to me but whatever) and I would therefore be taking some of your characters and playing with them in my own story? I’m talking Gimris (who I adore), Thira, basically all the kick-ass dwarrowdams you’ve dreamed up and given us to fall in love with. But I don’t want to play with them without your permission! Is that OK? (Fic- To the End of Their Days)

Nonnie, you are entirely and completely welcome to play with any and every one of my characters! Just drop a line somewhere to give me credit.

I will have to check out your fic! I am excited to see Thira’s name there :))) my withdrawn wise weaponsmith aw yiss! 

How do you manage to stay fixated on one fandom for so long? The longest I’ve ever been able to do that was maybe a year but I doubt it was that long

By taking long, long breaks, and by fandom peeking. 

I do get burned out. I am burned out right now, as it happens. After nearly four years, I am SO burned out!! But I stick to my guns, because I promised I would finish. And I remind myself of what I love about this gigantic, consuming, wonderful thing. 

And yeah, fandom peeking is fun. I read a fair amount of fic outside of Tolkien fandom. And often it is for fandoms that I don’t know anybody active in, or have never participated in. Sometimes I need a total change of pace, a new vista, and a fresh gust of air to blow the Mirkwood cobwebs off my brain.
