CAN I MARRY YOUR FIC? I swear I’ll treat it right. I’ll love and cherish it for the rest of my lif–existence (see what I did there? ;). I mean, if someone can legally marry the Eiffel Tower then I should totally be able to marry your story, amirite? If not the fic itself, then maybe Gimris? Oh, but she’s spoken for, drat. :( TBH? I just want to hug your fic and never, ever let go, because it’s beautiful and brilliant and I’m still so completely in awe over it I can’t even think straight. <3

PFFFTHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOODNESS NONNIE I MADE A RHINOCEROUS-SNORT SORT OF SOUND HAHAHAHAHAHA – I now pronounce you Nonnie and Fic! 

I am so flattered and glad you like it, thank you so so much! And eeee, Gimris ❤ I am THRILLED you like her! 

Heh, Bofur would totally understand: he believes that nearly everyone should want to marry Gimris, because she is just THAT amazing – but he’s the lucky old sod that did! 

*hugs and hugs* Aaaaah Nonnie, thank you! Thank you so, so much!

1 – Okay, let me tell you something: I do not cry. I think the last time I cried was 3 years ago and I only did so because I broke my foot. My own family calls me heartless because I’ve sat through some of the saddest movies without shedding a tear. And yet, I didn’t make it past the first chapter of “Sansukh” before the waterworks started. I have been a blubbering mess for days now and I don’t even know who I am anymore. Y’know, I made the mistake of reading chapter 35 on the bus yesterday?

2 – On the BUS. It was the stupidest thing I ever did because I started sobbing uncontrollably in front of a bunch of strangers and that was the worst. I blame you for that. I don’t know what magic you’re infusing your fic with but you need to stop because I don’t know if my heart can take much more of these feels. When you finally finish this fic, I think I might actually go the way of the elves and fade from sheer heartbreak. Just to let you know. I hope you feel bad, you terrific author, you.

omg whoa

holyyyy hannah

*shoves all the tissues at you* THANK YOU, THANK YOUUUUU THANK YOU SO SO MUCH – oh my goodness, i am gonna SCREECH here but a) the toddler is in bed, and b) it’s bad for the voice, and c) nope, gonna do it anyway: – SCREEEEEEEEECH…!

seriously, this is just such a lovely message! God, I am so so sorry about the bus ride! And no, no magic (i wishhh), just lots of tappity tapping and baking my poor brain, I suppose. NO FADING ALLOWED, NOPE. augh I really do feel a bit sheepish about that bus ride! 

SORRY AND THANK YOU, SORRY AND THANK YOU THANK YOU FOREVER!

You have set a new standard for fic, my dear. People literally (and for good reason!) want to get your work ENGRAVED ON THEIR BODIES. YOU ARE SO AWESOME OH MY GOD

i honestly have trouble believing that at times, i really do – I am just a small shy grey-haired bookish nerd, i mean heck, I am a mum and a teacher i am the antithesis of cool 

(and brainweasels intermittently gnaw on my insecurities too, so there’s that)

and I don’t think I’ve set a new standard, truthfully – I’m following in the footsteps of millions of writers after all! Cripes, I’ve read SO many glorious things written by amazing folks, things that make me gasp and reel and cry in awe at the phrasing and characterisation and pacing and beauty

i am neverendingly grateful, honoured, staggered and stunned that people find enjoyment in my blabberings. Always, always, always. 

hi dets!! i was wondering how you would feel about someone getting a quote from something you’ve written as a tattoo? because i’m definitely getting a mountain tat and i would absolutely love to incorporate your quote “oh, i dream of jagged rusty skies” from the iron hills for me into it – only if you would be okay with it, though. lots of love, and have a great day!!!

OH MY GOODNESS – yes, always yes, I am so so SO HONOURED, holy HECK! THANK YOU, Nonnie, thank you SO MUCH for thinking my words could be worth that!!!

(You’d be the second person with a sansukh tatt, I believe! the awesome @rileybluuseys also has one! which holy HECK seriously, omfg, i cannot believe cannot CANNOT CANNOT believe, i am so honoured and cripes cannot even process…!)

Do you think the peanut gallery would have followed the Company’s journey to Erebor the way they follow the Fellowship? Without being able to influence them of course, but taking it in turns to watch over them?

Hey there Nonnie!

They didn’t watch in the same organised, scheduled manner as they have over the Fellowship. They didn’t really take turns, there was no roster, etc. That particular rota system was set up in response to the threat of the Ring War – and because Thorin couldn’t do it all on his own. 

(remember, he had to pass out in Gimlin-zaram before he finally accepted the necessity of it, lmao)

But yes, the peanut gallery did watch the Erebor Quest, absolutely, though it was in a disorganised, scattered and individual fashion. I’ve answered some questions before on who watched, and when!
