Many places I have been
Many sorrows I have seen
But I don’t regret
Nor will I forget
All who took that road with me

LotR was my first fandom and I haven’t been properly part of it for many years now — but your recent chapters, and in particular the one you just published, have reminded me of why I joined in the first place. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful writing with us <3

oh gosh.

*gawks*

This is… absolutely one of the most touching and humbling and AMAZING things I have ever read. I can’t actually process that. I am so grateful. So SO grateful. I love this world, so very much, and I’m glad you do too.

*hugs* Thank you, with all my heart.

(I AM HONESTLY SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE holy moly…!)

Do you do NaNoWriMo? Lovely new chapter.

Thank you so much!

Nope, I don’t. It’s not that I wouldn’t like to, one day. It’s that I know my own “””SCHEDULE””” (she says sarcastically, heh). I couldn’t guarantee that I would keep to the 50K wordcount deadline.

I mean, I can pump out 10K in a couple of days, if I am in a good headspace and if I have the time. If I am in a good headspace!

(if I’m down, lol no)

It’s coming up to the end of the school year here in Australia, and I am a teacher. I am NOT going to have the time, sadly. So, for the meanwhile I will I just putter along at my own stop-start speed!

ALSO BTW! the wonderful, witty and fabulously kind @nasturtian has already made chapter headers/summaries (in the style of Pratchett), so you’re all set! They’re HERE!
