Today was the best April Fool’s Day ever! Last year this time, I was starting my first job, and today after months of searching, I finally was hired! I make a tiny bit over minimum wage, it’s not an extremely complicated job but I’ll still get training, it’s part time (which was what I was looking for) and it’s close enough to my house that I can walk to it! I won’t start until the week of the 9th most likely because next week’s schedule is already made, but I just wanted to flail a bit, sorry!

NONNIE THAT IS STUPENDOUS! *DANCES IN JOY FOR YOU* CONGRATS! GO MAKE THAT MONEY, AND SO CLOSE TOO – AHHH!

hey your links on the sansûkh master post are super broken. like all of them? maybe it’s just me but they lead to a broken link page. BUT ALSO ch 46 !!!!!!! so incredible!!!!! i read 46 then i am going back and rereading it all and it’s amazing how you have made the characters (esp gimli/thorin/frerin) have such consistent phrasing/reactions/manner of speaking that they seem so much like an actual real 3d person??? I’m not explaining it well but it’s fantastic and wonderful and and and !! thanks

BUGGER. I’m fighting with it now. Hopefully it will work in a moment!

Just in case, here are the actual document links:

The Epic Sansukh Podfic

and omg THANK YOU – I am completely stoked that I have remained consistently within character for each of them! *hugs and hugs* THANK YOU!

Did you know you’ve already out written the original trilogy word count? All three LOTR books: 455,125 words. You: 518,318. You’ll most likely reach The LOTR trilogy plus the Hobbit at 550,147 words with the last four chapters, but I say aim high, out do that and the Silmarillion and write more than 680,262 words! We’re not ready to lose you and your lovely world yet!

…holy shit I beat it?? really???

cripes, I am a wordy blabbery piece of work. Brevity, I do not know thee. 

Hmm. Considering that my chapters atm are averaging around 13-16K (let’s call it 16K to be on the safe side), then that means I probably have 64K left, at the most. 

A lot can happen in 64K 😉

there’s also currently 98K in the Appendices WELP 

me again, that anon rereading Sansukh who commented on Narvi and ch 19. Would like you to know that rereading Dain’s death is still just as upsetting as the first time I read it. And the second. And the third. Goddamn it.

alsjkdhalk nonnie

considering that Dain’t death scene WAS an instance where I was actively trying to break people’s hearts (as opposed to all my inadvertent ‘WHOOPS THAT WASN’T MEANT TO BE SAD’ moments)… I am both a lil bit guilty and a lil bit pleased to hear that…?

I have just had the most terrible week (physical and mental illnesses, plus bad events/fate) and I just wanted to thank you/your writing/blogging for reminding me to breathe. I owe you so, so much this week. Thank you, for everything, for existing. ♡

Hey there, Nonnie. I am so sorry that this week has been such a hard one. You don’t deserve to be wrung out that way, from so many directions at once. You’re amazing. You’re through that terrible week now, and I am so SO proud of you. 

May the next week be a better one. Sending you all my love. I hope you are able to take the time to find a scrap of calm for yourself, to centre and breathe. 

Dets, I have a strange question for you… My partner and I have been fans of Sansukh since Chapter 1, and we were wondering if you would mind if he played some of the music from Sansukh at our wedding? He’s another violinist and we’d happily pay you for the sheet music on patreon , but we also totally understand if you don’t want people using your music. You’d of course be credited in whatever way you see fit, and again, we understand if you aren’t comfortable with that. Thank you!

Nonnie, you are SO welcome to use my music, and congratulations to you and your partner!

All my sheet music is already up for grabs, and you don’t have to pay me a cent. You can find it here! Use it with my best wishes and all my love ❤
