I’m coming back to this fandom for a while to escape some pretty vicious discourse in my current one and I just want to thank you (as fandom den mother) and the rest of the Tolkien fandom for being a generally discourse free zone

hey Nonnie, believe me I am super, super glad that your experience has been such a great one. I hope it stays chill and discourse-free for you!

I’ve been kicking around in the lotr/hobbit fandom long enough to know that there is indeed wank aplenty – but it is blockable! And the vast, vast majority of folks here are A++++ people, which makes things much nicer on the whole.

I wouldn’t call myself fandom den mum, honestly. More like unreliable fandom auntie. 😉

Hey again, I’m the 36 hour anon :) I’m glad I could make your day a little better :) The teaching scene I talked about was the one where Thorin is showing Gimli how to smith the marriage bead, and beyond the cuteness of that whole exchange in and of itself, I had to put my phone down and cry when I realized he could work with gold again. And then Gimli set me off again when he realized it was gold and just KNEW. I’m a mess again oh my. That scene was utter perfection, my dear. :)

oh my gosh

THANK YOU – I really loved writing those smithing scenes, how Gimli and Thorin are moving to a more friends-and-mentors relationship from the rather worshipful gratitude-infused one of before, how Thorin can DO this now and it doesn’t hurt – it’s a good thing, that he can give Gimli… 

slkdjhfaljh I am seriously so glad, thank you SO much!

Rereading the last few chapters, and I noticed that Dwalin wasn’t surprised at all (not that he’d show it) when it comes to Orla’s heritage. Also that they’ve discussed, as a couple, what to do about it if it ever came up. How did he react when he learned about it? Did Orla tell him outright, or did she make some comment that was more than it seemed? I’m driving myself nuts trying to picture what happened!

Gimli’s letter precipitated a little chat that was quite a bit overdue. Orla REALLY didn’t want to talk about it (as you can tell), but she did. 

By the time Gimli makes it to Erebor, Dwalin is a whole bunch less wild-eyed about the notion… though it still makes what is left of his hair stand on end at times. But his main priority is definitely Orla’s happiness and wishes, and he’s behind her and supporting her all the way, no matter what pressure she’s under. If she’d wanted to be queen, he’d have supported her in that, too. 

Thank you, Nonnie! Thrilled you are re-reading, and doubly thrilled that you’re interested!

Hi! So I just wanted to let you know that I read Sansukh in around 36 hours and it made my life. I have smiled to split my face, laughed out loud, flailed, and ugly cried all in hours of each other, and that’s all thanks to your wonderful writing. I think I actually broke with the teaching scene. I don’t really get into fic as much anymore, but you changed that and I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for that. You (and the appendices authors) are absolutely amazing. ❤ Have a wonderful ❤

I just need to hunt you down so I can hug you for 800000 million years 

or so

*HUGGGGGGGS*

honestly Nonnie – thank you SO SO much. This was an amazing thing to hear, I ended up with my torso flopped over my own legs and whining high in my throat because I can’t put together how EPICALLY LOVELY YOU ARE

I am so glad you like it, so glad you enjoyed it so much, thank you SO much, and I agree that the Appendices Authors (we sound like a band lmao) are INCREDIMAZING

and I am super super curious about which teaching scene now, bc there are a few…!

(ALSO – 36 HOURS, WHOA. YOU ARE AMAZING)
