How is the giant get-your-drink-on event that is the anniversary of BOTFA handled by people in the Halls in your opinion?

Depends on the people involved. I think there would be a big to-do on the anniversary of every major battle, really. Dagorlad, Last Alliance, Azanulbizar, BOTFA, all that. Some people would get megadrunk, cry, laugh, sing and fall over. Some people would get maudlin, or get together with those who were there and reminisce about stuff. IDK, it would be very individual, I expect.

(I think Fili and Kili would spend the whole day with their uncle, trying to lift his mood)

hi Dets, uh, I know its kinda late but, I can try an audiction for Smeagol? Thank you <3

Hey Nonnie!

The auditions for Smeagol haven’t opened yet! So you’re in luck!

The podfic is being cast in rounds-of-auditions. If the mods cast everyone all at once, it would be NIGHTMARISHLY enormous. They’re already working themselves into a caffeinated frenzy, we need to be nice to them 🙂

I’m not actually the person to talk to about auditions! To do that, you need to check out the sansukhpodfic tumblr FAQ. I’m just an (astonished!!!) bystander, who squeals a lot. 

I am not sure when Smeagol will be cast – he doesn’t turn up for quite a while in the story! – but if you watch the sansukhpodfic site announcements, particularly the ‘sansukh auditions’ tag, you will be kept informed of what to do and when! Good luck with your audition, Nonnie!

The mental image of Legolas and Larophen at a line of Farin family dinner presents itself. It is cute.

eeeeeeee…!

Ohgosh, yes omg. So cute. Gloin and Dwalin’s families, Gimris all ‘…huh. Always knew Gimli was cracked.’ Gimizh asking ALL THE QUESTIONS. Bofur laughing himself hoarse. Gloin caught between ‘LOOKIT MY AMAZEBALLS FAMILY’ and ‘ohgod where did i go wrong’. Mizim mothering everyone impartially, trying to feed up these Elven skinny streaks of nothing. Orla, impassive-faced as always, but dying of laughter on the inside. Dwalin eating more cookies than Gimizh. Wee Thorin wanting to know about the battles, please, idc about the stupid love story, tell me about the battles! Laerophen wrangling Frerinith who clambers all over him and chews happily on his long elven-blond hair. Balinith staring at Legolas for a long moment, and then announcing, “your brother is taller than you.”

Legolas just smiling dumbly at Gimli. Gimli smiling dumbly back. “Welcome to the family, lad.”
